Mani Monday: Deborah Lippmann in 'Brick House'

Hello There Ladies:

So here I am with short nails. I really hate short nails but I've always have to deal with having them short my whole life. My nails began to grow until I became pregnant and all of a sudden my nails are long, people thought I was wearing fake nails but I've never been into them at all. Once I gave birth I thought my nails would never grow but they did! I seriously have no idea what I was doing wrong before. 

Brick House: is a burnt orange 

The application on this one was flawless and it took two layers to reach opacity. I've used all brands of nail polish but this one felt smooth and dried pretty fast. I am happy to have bought this polish. 

Deborah Lippmann is an expensive brand but i was lucky to grab it when nailpolishcanada.com was getting rid of their stock since they were no longer going to carry the brand. I was able to grab the duo polish for only $13, obviously that promotion was gone in a matter of minutes as it was a great steal. Normally this polishes on its own are retailed for $18. 

Thanks for reading this post and I hope you stay happy and and enjoy the beauty of life. Take care xoxo

Hello There Ladies:

Breast cancer is the #1 cause of death for women, so a test has to be done in order to defeat it before it progresses. As women has to be aware of these illness and to check yourself for any anomalies in your breast or overall body.

Personally I haven't seen or heard from anyone close to my family to suffer from this, but I think that you have to participate in something so important for women and I created this look for this issue and being that October is the month of Breast Cancer Awareness.

For this look I thought I used products that was already reviewed so you can have an idea of how to use this palettes.

EYES: 

1. Too Faced Shadow Insurance Eye Primer 

2. Maybelline Color Tattoo in Inked in Pink

3. M.A.C Pigment in Cheers My Dear! (Applied all over the lid)

4. Shady Lady by the Balm Vol. 3 

5. Kay Von D Tattoo Liner 

6. Maybelline The Falsies Mascara 

 

I hope you have liked this post and I am happy to have given my token of participation in something so important for the human race specially for women. 

This look is also very wearable that can be worn for work or just your everyday smokey look.

Manicure Monday: Essie 'Good Morning Hope' (Breast Cancer AwarenessCollection)

Hello There Ladies:

I know, I know! I've been absent for a few days and you have missed me right? (Ok maybe not) but I've missed blogging and sharing my thoughts to anyone who reads.

As you might have noticed lately I've been photographing three fingers, since my index nail broke and a few days ago my middle finger nail broke so I'm back to having short nails :( 

Good Morning Hope: is a light milky baby pink. 

Wow! The formula was awful, it is super sheer and for picture above it took 4 coats (sigh) it dried a bit slow but it finally reached opacity. 

This polish and the other 3 are a repromote from last years Breast Cancer Awareness Collection. I got it when my local Shoppers Drugmart couldn't sell them anymore and were selling them for $2. 

I guess it's worth the $2 but not the $9.99 they are selling them for, although is for a good cause. 

I hope you have liked this post and maybe buy it for yourself ;) Thanks for reading. 

Manicure Monday: Essence Color & Go in "38 Choose Me!"

Hello there ladies: 

So we are officially in the Seasons of Fall and the weather temperatures is letting us know that now a sweater to be worn is a must, but I've seen brave people to wear tank top and shorts in 10°C.

Essence is a brand that we all know to be very affordable, but with all that; we expect for their products to suck and when you find something it kind of good it just makes your day. 

38 Choose Me!: is a greenish, teal aqua-ish foil 

 

Wow! This color has become my third polish of all times is just so good that you have to stare at it and be amazed every second. The name "Choose Me!" Is just so fitting, really you have to get this polish is just so stuningly beautiful. 

The color is so hard to describe at some point you might even think it has some sort of duochrome but it could be a foil finish as well. For picture above is a three coat manicure without top coat, overall it dried super fast that a top coat is not necessary as i didn't use it at all.

This is the older version of their polishes which was priced at $1.49, now with their new bottles I am not sure if the color is still available. 

Thank you so much for reading please come back for more reviews, looks, etc. take care xoxox

L'oreal Magic Smooth Soufflé Foundation

Hello There Ladies: 

Foundation now a days is like a new innovation, every company is trying to come up with products that will interest their customers. 

I for one am impress with this Soufflé foundation is just the smoothest product it ever touched my face; even more than my other foundation which is the Magic Nude liquid powder also by L'oreal.

 

The packaging is pretty bulky and there is not enough space for a brush to be swirled around as it is a bit small. 

The way I apply is with a flat top kabuki brush, just because with my fingers I don't get an even application and I leave patches in between which isn't very flattering to the face. You can also use a stippling brush, it works just as good. 

My shade is 532 Classic Tan is just the perfect shade for me. It comes in a lot of shades don't know how many exactly but there are lots to choose from.

Due to the new foundation that they are coming out I am not really sure whether is going to be discontinued, I wish they don't buy just in case I bought a back up because I love it so much. 

This is not a new foundation as it been around for quite sometime. 

In the picture above is a swatch of the foundation in here you can see it looks a bit of a mousse finish, and when spread it spreads beautifully I really love it. On the skin it feels lightweight as you have nothing and it covers your imperfections just nicely. 

I hope you have liked this post and please keep coming back for more thanks for reading xoxoxo

Manicure Monday: Nicole by OPI "Stolen Kisses"

Hello there ladies: 

Lately I've been in the kick of Fall although we are still a few days away to be officially in the Fall season. I typically don't like this kinds of colors as I find them to be very wearable and so common but I decided to give it a go. 

Stolen Kisses: is a rich pink-magenta creme. 

Overall this is not a color that appeals to me with a 'wow' factor, however in the bottle you can see ribbons of gold  which definitely don't get to see in the nail, I really would've wanted to see that, would've given the polish a different look. In the end I ended up coating my nails with Essie's Pure Pearlfection top coat to give the manicure a different dimension  

The only reason I bought this polish was solely for the name 'stolen kisses', is a funny cutsy name, any OPI product has a  cute, funny or remarkable name. 

The application was a tiny bit watery but nothing that would make me feel bad using it. The brush is good as always giving me a good control over the application. For photo above it took two coats of polish, which I kind of expected since I know Nicole by OPI makes good polishes. 

This is a limited edition polish but Nicole by OPI can be found at any mass retailers across Canada for $8.99 to 9.99. 

I hope you have liked this post and please come back for more ... Thanks for reading xoxo
