Well I'm surely imPRESSed!!

2012-01-17T14:54:00.000-05:00

Ohhh my. Where to start with these beauties?! Well a few days ago Dulce Candy hauled these press on nails I didn't think much of it. When I actually saw them in Rite Aid I thought "hey why not give them a shot!" I mean they did claim to last an entire week so I chose the color "tweetheart". So the very next moment I was able to apply them, I did. Here's the step by step for what I personally did:
1. I removed all the nail polish from my manicure before and made sure my nails were nice and clean.
2. Using the enclosed prep pad (which is just a rubbing alcohol wipe) I wiped off all my nails so they were oil free.
3. I sized the nails to my actual nails and laid out all 10 fingers. Although very few nails were a 100% match, I still got most to be a very close match.
4. Using the little tab, I peeled off the protective coating of the sticky adhesive. When first starting this was very easy but as you apply more and more nails it's a little hard to grip. Next time I may just grab some pliers to make it super easy to remove the protective layer.
5. I then placed each nail onto my respective nail without pressing too hard. Once I was sure it was lined up I squeezed it down and even had my boyfriend give an extra squeeze to each nail to make sure they were REALLY on there.
6. And that was it!!! No drying time, no problems, just super perfect nails!

I applied these nails 3 days ago, and they appear to last the whole 7 days as the product suggests. I have baked, washed dishes, cleaned, packed and unpacked my suitcase, moved back into my apartment at college, showered every night, and done any other everyday activity you can think of that could possibly damage a nail and these have remained perfect! Back in high school I would go and get acrylic nails for a very heft price. I never really loved the shape or the thickness of them, but because it made my nails strong and allowed for polish to stay on for weeks I would continue getting them done. These nails are less than a fraction of the price of professional nail services and in my opinion look better than going to a salon! They're not too thick, not too long, just perfect.

I will most definitely be going back to purchase more. Let me know if you are going to/have tried these and if so be sure to check out their website and receive a $1 off coupon!

Here's some more pictures just because I love the results :)

Golden Stripes

2011-11-02T06:41:00.002-04:00

After doing the purple and white stripes on my fingers back in the summer, I have wanted to to it again with fall colors. I used Essie Dive Bar and LA Colors Art Deco Nail Art in Gold. I'm not super impressed with my stripes, but I do still really like the stripes manicures.

Dramatic Cool Tones

2011-10-31T06:26:00.011-04:00

Happy Halloween!!!

It was just one of those nights. I always love to play with makeup, and some nights before my shower I'll do crazy dramatic looks. This one is using shadows from the e.l.f. 100 Eyeshadow Palette. I also used the e.l.f. Studio Cream Eyeliner in Punk Purple, Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Liner in Mullet.

Mishmash Gradient

2011-10-28T06:15:00.000-04:00

This was one of those manicures with no real inspiration, or plan. But rather just having lots of fun seeing how different colors turn out! I used a cosmetic sponge to apply different layers of OPI Funkey Dunkey, Revlon Ocean Breeze, and Revlon Mistletoe.

First Attempt at Water Marbling!

2011-10-27T06:55:00.002-04:00

Sooo I finally tried it! And surprisingly it was a lot easier than I thought. After a few tries I figured out just how long to wait so the polish was still wet, but not too wet or too dry. And that fast drying nail polish does not work at all! My results are nothing near perfect, but it was still a fun experience which I will be trying many more times.

Fall Foliage

2011-10-14T05:27:00.001-04:00

When I was at Harmon the other day I was searching through the thousands of polish colors for something dark, fall-like, and unlike what I have. I found Sally Hansen 330 Gray Area and fell in love. Although the name says it's gray, its actually more of a dark purple-gray. It may be a little early for such a dark polish, but still love it. I used image plate M71 and LA Colors Baby Pink for the flower and leaves which I think looks more like turning fall leaves.

Silver Slivers

2011-10-12T06:22:00.000-04:00

Something I have been trying to do is paint my nails in ways that "transition" between the seasons. Aka I'm trying to stretch out summer trends as long as possible. So this is what I came up with! OPI Ski Teal We Drop is one of my favorite dark colors for fall and winter, I used China Glaze For Audrey as my accent nail because the blues go so well together. Originally I thought of doing a stripe of OPI Silver Shatter down the middle, but when I went to do it, I came up with the idea to do a triangle. Enjoy!

Funfetti Nails

2011-10-10T05:31:00.000-04:00

I must admit, glitter polishes are one of my least favorite things out there. Mostly because they are such a pain to get off! But manicures like this make the removal totally worthwhile. I started off with OPI Fit For A Queensland. I then attempted at my first "gradient" manicure! Using a makeup sponge I dabbed on some OPI Spark-icious to about half the nail, and over that (more to the tip) I used Ulta Pinata-Yada-Yada.

I'm beyond loving the results and perhaps found my New Years manicure!

Blue LAshes

2011-10-06T06:00:00.001-04:00

Recently I've been stuck in quite a makeup rut. Every day I do a similar neutral eye look because it's easy, looks good, and most importantly- its quick. If doing the same makeup looks gets me 5 more minutes of sleep, well then heck yeah I'm gonna do it..over and over and over... The unfortunate part of this is that I don't have any new looks to show off and every FOTD would be the same. So this morning I switched it up!

FACE:
Cetaphil Face Moisturizer
Garnier Anti-Dark Circle eye roller

Mesmerized!

2011-09-07T06:39:00.002-04:00

After months and months of searching for a flat, denim-blue polish, I finally found one!! It was placed on a random end cap at Target and clearly someone decided not to to get it, but I can't see why. I fell in love at first sight and when my boyfriend saw just how much I wanted this color, he decided to buy it for me! Here is Essie Mezmerize with LA Colors Art Deco Nail Lacquers in Blue Sparkle and Baby Pink.

2011-09-06T16:33:00.000-04:00

Stripey Stripes

2011-08-12T10:34:00.000-04:00

Hello all! I feel like it's been forever since I did a blog post, but unfortunately, life got in the way and I had no time to even take a simple picture! Now that my two summer classes are over, and I'm no longer working 50 hour weeks, I finally have a chance to breathe! Well enough of that..lets get back to posting!
Recently I cut all my nails down to nothing for no particular reason. I never have long nails but I never have tiny stubs either. When I was painting my nails I thought "If I do vertical stripes my nails will totally look longer". And sure enough, they do! I used Do You Lilac It? by OPI, and a white nail art pen in white by Claire's.

Review: e.l.f. Studio Cream Eyeliner

2011-07-17T13:06:00.004-04:00

Out of the hundred or so e.l.f. items I own, these are by far my favorite product! One day I was browsing the site during a sale and decided to buy two or so, never having tried a cream eyeliner. You can buy them on eyeslipsface.com or here for $3.00 each. When I got them I struggled for a bit trying to apply them with the provided brush, until I finally bought a Sonia Kashuk Bent Eyeliner Brush. Applying these eyeliners with this brush is such an ease. They are all super creamy and pigmented, and you don't even need to set them with a powder!

Coffe, Black, Midnight

Coffee- A matte brown. This is my holy grail eyeliner. Black can be very harsh, so for everyday looks I use coffee. If you want it slightly darker apply a dark brown shadow over it.
Black- A matte black. This eyeliner is a very true black. It is just as easy to apply as all the others. It does not stain your eyelid, nor will it run down your face during the day.
Midnight- A matte navy. This color is also great when black is too harsh. It's a great color to use when doing a purple eye look because brown would sometimes clash. I also use this when I get tired of using brown every day.

Ivory- A shimmery white. This color is a perfect base for eyeshadows to make them pop. Using white as an eyeliner may be good for Halloween, but to use this eyeliner more than once a year you can put it over a primer as a shimmery base. I find it to be a little streaky, but with a little extra time it will blend out. These eyeliners are great to use as bases because they don't crease that readily!
Plum Purple- A shimmery dark purple. I wish that this color was matte, becuase it would be a perfect alternative to black like Coffee and Midnight pictured above. The shimmer is not vert noticable when applied, especially is you put a matte purple shadow over it.
Punk Purple- A shimmery purple. This is one of their newest colors so I haven't had very much play time with it. Swatched, it is a gorgeous purple, slightly lighter an Plum Purple. This color would also be great as a base!
Teal Tease- A shimmery teal with a hint of glitter. The glitter in this is super fine, and barely noticeable. I use this over the black and it is beautiful! Its a very unusual color, and perfect for summer.

Metallic Olive- A shimmery deep green. This color is also a great alternative to black. I love using this when I do a matte neutral eye. Its unexpected but at the same time very beautiful.
Golden- A true gold. This is also one of their newest shades so I haven't had time to experiment, but swatches it is a beautiful gold. This is going to be great as a base under a gold eyeshadow- gold is one of my favorite looks right now. I would also love this on the lower lashline for an extra pop.
Copper- A metallic copper. This is a very unusual color. It would bring out blue eyes, but still look great on anyone's neutral eye. One day I didn't put the cap back on tight, and a few weeks later I realized it had dried out a bit. But thankfully it is still usable even after a few weeks of being open!
Gunmetal- A shimmery dark silver. This one almost looks like steel on your eye. It's super pretty with a shimmery black shadow over it, a perfect night-time look.

These are all the colors e.l.f. currently offers. I really hope they come out with more because the quality of these products is so great and for $3, how can you not love them? Have you tried these? What is your favorite color?

Neutral Subtle Shimmer

2011-07-16T14:36:00.002-04:00

This manicure started with two coats of Essie BBF Boy Best Friend. The design is off Konad Image Plate M60, and I used OPI Rally Pretty Pink for the pink/gold duo tone gorgeous plaid. I'm going on a mini-vacation this weekend and wants something neutral that would go with everything I packed, but I didn't want it to be boring either. Love the results!

Another Eyes Lips Face Haul and First Impressions!

2011-07-14T17:08:00.000-04:00

How can anyone pass up a 60% off sale? Well I gave in and purchased plenty of items from e.l.f. that I have wanted for a long time! The shipping said it wasn't supposed to come until tomorrow, so when I saw it in the mail today I was more than excited! Here is what I got and some first impressions:

Studio blushes in "Pink Passion" and "Peachy Keen". Pink Passion is the brightest hot pink I have ever seen. It is completely matte (my only matte studio blush and I own 5). I have yet to wear this yet, but when swatched it seemed a bit chalky. It blended out to light pink though, so hopefully it's blendable and buildable. As for Peachy Keen, a gorgeous golden bronze peach with shimmer. This color appears to compliment any skin tone, and on top of that you can use it as a bronzer or a subtle highlight. I cannot wait to try this color!

I got the "Eyebrow Lifter and Filler" in "Ivory/Medium". I got this because it looked very similar to the NYX Eyebrow Push-Up Bra and Benefit High Brow but much cheaper. I don't own any eyebrow filling toold simply because I have very bushy eyebrows naturally and enhancing them even more makes me feel like I'm doing very avant garde makeup. The highlight pencil is very promising though. It has a creamy texture and easily blends out. The eyebrow pencil also has a creamy texture which may be too creamy for filling in brows. When I was swatching these I thought "these are going to be a pain to sharpen" until I reckoned that one of the caps has a built in sharpener! Great job e.l.f.!

If you saw my last Eyes Lips Face Haul and First Impressions you know that I tried a Matte Lip Color for the first time. That was in Coral and it was truly matte. This one is in Tea Rose and it's not quite as matte. Perhaps I still had a little lip balm on my lips, but regardless I love this color! My swatch is a little lighter than what it actually is, it's more of the color on the end of the product's packaging. A gorgeous berry mauve. The color is a little too dark for me in summer, but come fall and winter I can see myself wearing this a lot more.

Sine last summer when the trend was really hot I have wanted to wear a fully nude lip. I've had my eye on this Mineral Lipstick in Natural Nymph for an even longer time but never chose to get it. This time I just had to go for it, and unfortunately I am not that impressed. I know that a fully nude lip is hard to pull off without looking like "jizz lips", but this one made my whole face look pale and my lips look super chapped. I even put a gloss over it, but it just looked like a streaky mess. I'll keep trying different things and see if I can make it work!

The only brush I got was the Mineral Blending Eye Brush. I have needed a blending brush like this one. All others I've seen are a little too short, fluffy, dense, or any combination thereof which did not suit what I've needed. This one seems to be just perfect to blend out my crease and apply crease color! Plus I love that these brushes are eco-friendly!

The e.l.f. professional Nail Buffer and Cuticle Pushers are both repurchases. I use the nail buffer to smooth out my nails before I polish them and also to file them down. The cuticle pushers are great not only to push down and clean up your cuticles, but I use them to clean up extra polish as I paint my nails. The rubber side will swipe up any polish that drips to the skin.

I've read numerous great reviews for the Mineral Face Primer but when shopping on the e.l.f. website and you see a $6 product it registers in your mind as way expensive. You can get 6 eyeshadows for that! But when the 60% off sale came around I decided it was time to try this primer out. It is a clear primer that blends into your skin to create the smoothest feel. I can't stop feeling how smooth my hand is! I can't wait to try this on my face. The product claims to combat oily skin all day. We will see if it stands up to my skin!

I don't even know where to begin with these. The cream eyeliners are by far my favorite product from e.l.f. so when I saw that they added three new shades I just HAD to get them. The three new colors are "Teal Tease", "Punk Purple" and "Golden". When I opened Punk Purple I was so upset because it appeared to be dried out, but luckily it was only a little melted from shipping and still super creamy. All shades are super pigmented and all have slight shimmer, Teal Tease has a tad bit of glitter. I love how creamy and easy to apply all the cream eyeliners are and these appear to be no different. Soon I will be doing a full review of all the cream eyeliners so stay tuned!

Hope you guys liked my haul! What did you get during the 60% off sale?

This is a mani that started as a picture in my mind, but as I was creating it, it strayed far from the picture. In my mind I wanted to create strawberry red nails and put tiny yellow dots (seeds) on them. I started out with Zoya Haley (which is one of my favorite reds, not only because of the name hehe), and over that I put two coats of OPI Rosy Future. When it was dry I liked it so much that I didn't want to cover my nail with dots, so I only did a few on the accent finger with OPI Fiercely Fiona. I love how fun this color and design combination is!

I make my dots simply with a ball point pen. You can buy a dotting tool, but cleaning off a ball point pen works just as well for me :)

Gilded Little Blue Nails

2011-07-11T11:39:00.001-04:00

Who doesn't love to receive a little blue box with lots and lots of gold inside?! Well this nail-tutorial shows you how to use eyeshadow (..yes eyeshadow!) in your manicure to create an antique gold look.

You will need:
-Dry nails in your choice of color. I used "For Audrey" by China Glaze, a perfect Tiffany's box blue!
-A loose eyeshadow. I used e.l.f.'s mineral eyeshadow in "Golden"
-Any topcoat
-Tape

Start by pressing the tape to the back of your hand to reduce the sticky-ness and to avoid tearing off nail polish when you remove the tape. Place the tape over the area you don't want gold. I decided on a vertical half and half design.

Coat the half thats exposed with clear nail polish. Wait a few seconds for the polish to get tacky.

Press your finger down in the shadow. Sometimes I would need to pick up a little more with my finger and pat it on.

Remove the tape to reveal perfect half-gold nails!

After all your nails are done and dry you can wash them or take a shower to remove all excess shadow and polish. I chose to not put on a topcoat to preserve the satin finish, but it's all personal preference. If you want to use a topcoat make sure that all the excess eyeshadow has been removed, otherwise you will transfer the eyeshadow into the polish and have a forever sparkly topcoat! After two days a lot of the shadow came off because I didn't have a topcoat but I loved it even more that way. It had an antique gold finish that everyone questioned me on how I created!

Let me know if you try this!

Polka Dot Power!

2011-07-09T23:21:00.000-04:00

This was the first time I tried doing any dots on my nails. I really like the results! To me it looks a little like reptile scales because of the diamond shape. The base color is Essie's "Sand Tropez" and the dots are "Miami Beet" by OPI.

Are you Absolutely Shore plaid is in?

2011-07-08T17:28:00.000-04:00

Well regardless, plaid looks great on your nails to add some subtle interest to your everyday manicure!

I used Essie's "Absolutely Shore" as a base and with the Konad image plate M60 I added some plaid with OPI's "Who the Shrek are You?". For my ring finger I put Silver Shatter over "Who the Shrek are You?". I was going for a summer fun mani, and I definitely found it!

2011-07-07T19:03:00.000-04:00

Hey everyone! Today I had some time to play with my makeup and create this look before I ran a few errands. This is what I came up with:

To create this look I used the following products and brushes:

A- e.l.f.'s Studio Powder Brush, B- e.l.f.'s Studio Complexion Brush, C- e.l.f.'s Total Face Brush, D- Loew-Cornell Maxine Mop Brush, E- Loew-Cornell Spotter Sable, F- Coastal Scents Eyelash Definer

1. I applied Cetaphil's face moisturizer all over my face (as you can see I use the bottle to test nail polish swatches on! haha)
2. I then used brush A to apply Maybelline's Pure Stay Powder Foundation in 10 Ivory
3. The concealer I used under my eyes is e.l.f.'s Tone Correcting Concealer in Light Beige
4. Over the concealer I brushed on a little Bare Escentuals Mineral Foundation in Light
5. For bronzer and contour I used Physicians Formula Solar Power Bronzer in 3857 applied with brush C
6. The blush I am wearing is e.l.f.'s Studio Blush in Fuchsia Fusion with Brush B (note that this blush is very pigmented, a little goes a long way)
7. I primed my lids with e.l.f.'s Essential Eyelid Primer. I then used e.l.f.'s Radiance Enhancer in Golden as a base (not pictured)
8. The shadows I used were from the Coastal Scents Metal Mania Palette. The two I used are circled above. I applied the golden one with one side of brush D and picked up some of the green with the other side and blended the two together.
9. My lipstick is Revlon's Wink for Pink
Not pictured:
Eyeliner- e.l.f.'s Studio Cream Eyeliner in Metallic Olive, applied with Brush E
Mascara- L'Oreal Telescopic in Black. I then combed out the clumps with Brush F

I very rarely think to use my 88 Metal Mania palette, but the two random compliments from strangers about how beautiful my eyeshadow looked will remind me reach for it a lot more often!

The Product Less Used - Benetint

2011-07-07T11:42:00.000-04:00

Last summer I picked this up because of all the wonderful reviews I heard. For a month or so I wore it every day on my cheeks and lips for that healthy rosy glow. Once I got to school in the fall I stopped using it as much. Whats interesting is that I didn't stop using it because I forgot about it, because as always this product has a spot in my makeup area right in front of everything else in perfect sight every day. I stopped using this because every morning before class I would apply my face lotion and a face powder with slight coverage. After I applied the powder I didn't want to put a liquid product back on my face and deal with streaky-ness, so instead I would reach for powder blushes. Well recently I've disregarded that whole thought process and I put this on as blush over or under my foundation, primer, powder, you name it! This product has been formulated to work no matter what is on your face (I haven't read that statement anywhere, just a personal assumption). The best part about this is that it will stay on all day, including when the rest of your makeup slowly dissolves in the heat of the summer.
Here are some swatches and how I apply it:

right out of the bottle, no blending

blended into my arm

The product is as liquidy as plain water. it has a tiny applicator like a nail polish brush, so once you unscrew the top you "paint" some on your cheeks and then quickly blend it in.

tribal markings to rosy tint

You can also use this product as a lipstain. Simply apply it to your bare lips and blend it in.

left-bare lip, right-benetint

Would I repurchase this product? Yes. Although it is a bit pricey at $28 it will also last you a lifetime (personally I don't think I will ever have the need to repurchase it!)

Overall I would rate this product a 5 out of 5. If you are looking for a product that gives you a little more color payoff than my swatches show, then this is not for you. But if you are looking for a product that will give you the right amount of rosy glow, then this easy to apply product will be the perfect match!

"The Product Less Used" is a series of blog posts which I review some of the products in my collection which have gone unnoticed for quite some time and I have recently rediscovered. I have a lot of products I purchased and use nonstop and then found a similar product (and sometimes better) which took it's spot. Or sometimes I purchase a product with the best intentions, and then it doesn't quite work out. Sometimes I find another way to use it, and sometimes I just forget about a it! This series will go in dept on certain products and why I recently started using them again, and why I stopped using them in the first place!

Zoya's Paz

2011-07-06T16:27:00.000-04:00

Orange nails + tan skin = summer must have! If you want to bring out your tan then paint your nails orange! And Zoya's Paz is the perfect polish for this. It's a neon orange with super smooth application and dries with a finish that's between matte and shiny.

Zoya's Paz- no topcoat

Zoya's Paz - with Seche Vite

My pictures make Paz look like a creamier muted orange. In reality it is as neon as orange gets. The index finger in my picture with the top coat is a better representation. The solid orange was just a little too boring for me, so I added some designs!

I painted gold tips on my nails with OPI's Gift of Gold, and for the argyle on my ring finger I used Konad image plate M60 and OPI's Thanks So Muchness!
Have you tried painting your nails orange to bring out your tan? How did you like it?

2011-07-06T15:51:00.000-04:00

Today I'm wearing a neutral smokey eye. I used purple on my lower and upper lash lines to bring out my brown eyes. The first day of my summer class is tonight so I wanted something simple.

To create this look I used the following products and brushes:

A- e.l.f Stippling Brush, B- e.l.f Total Face Brush, C- Estée Lauder 2F Blush Brush, D- Loew-Cornell's Maxine Mop Brush, E- e.l.f's Smudge Brush

1. I applied Rimmel's Fix & Perfect primer all over my face with my fingers
2. I applied Revlon's ColorStay foundation in 240 Medium Beige all over my face with my fingers
3. Under my eyes I applied Garnier's Skin Renew Anti-Dark Circle Roller and blended it out with my fingers
4. Over my whole face I applied e.l.f's High Definition Powder with brush A
5. On my lips and cheeks I used Benefit's Benetint
6. For bronzer and contour I used e.l.f's Cool Bronzer and brush B
7. I blended out e.l.f's Eyeshadow Primer on my lid
8. I used the first color (light pink) in the Clinique pallet as a highlight with brush D. Then all over my lid I applied the second color (pink) with the same brush. I then flipped the brush and used the third color (brown). I think blended the two colors and brought some of the brown into my crease. Then using brush E I smudged the fifth color (purple) to my upper and lower lash lines.
9. For mascara I used one coat of Covergirl's LashBlast Length

For my hair I curled it using Conair's Infiniti Curling Wand, TRESemme's Tres Two hairspray, and Matrix's Gold Heat heat protectant.
