My Top 10 O.P.I Polishes!

I loves me some nail polish. My favorite brand would have to be OPI. They started the love affair which continues today. Here are my favorite colors from them! Prepare for lots of sparkle and shimmer. 

My First Influenster Box: Spring Fling Vox Box!

Wheeeee! Free stuff! So Influenster, if you haven't heard of it, is a consumer testing type website. You sign up for free and then do simple tasks like filling out quick surveys, connecting social media, and reviewing products. Influenster sends out boxes with products for you to try and then review. I was lucky enough to receive one of these boxes for spring! Here are my thoughts on each product.

My Summer Drugstore Lip Picks!

Summer isn't officially here yet, according to the calendar, but here in sunny San Diego it's been in the 70s
for at least a month. I, like many, tend to brighten things up when weather gets warmer. I guess when you live somewhere where the coldest it gets is about 55 degrees, warmer is a relative term but let's just go with it. I picked my top 10 summer lipstick choices available at the drugstore and included swatches at the bottom! They are not in order of my personal preference. They're in order of how I swatched them. Also, I am playing with new lighting and am not completely happy with it yet, so I apologize for that! On to the picks!

My Current Obsessions! 5/25 - 5/31

CoverGirl Clump Crusher Mascara - Okay, so, I'm totally late to the party on this one but I just got my first tube of this mascara. It is awesome for those of you who, like me, don't like the super voluminized, practically clumpy look. I prefer definition and length to volume. This mascara gives a perfect, fanned out look to the lashes. 2 coats gets me a nice everyday look. 

E.L.F. Flawless Concealer Brush - I just got this last week and have used it every day since. It's great for blending your concealer out and doesn't leave things looking cakey.

This guy did not want to photograph well!

Smashbox Wondervision Palette - I've used this the entire week. Sadly, it was a holiday palette that's probably only available on eBay now but it is soooo good. I have been digging a darker eye this week and the black is super pigmented. I also really like the blushes that are in it and use Baby Pink when I have a darker eye because it's pretty and subtle. 

Top Tens! - Eyeliners

Well, let me start by saying that I am not much of a liquid/gel/cream liner girl. I have hooded eyes that don't allow for any cat flicks so I don't really use those types of liners often. Also,  all of the first 4 on this list are about equal. It was REALLY hard to put those 4 in any sort of order.

All prices are listed in US dollars according to the Ulta website unless otherwise noted.

Shades: 1. Cobalt, 2. Black , 3. Iridescent Iris, 4.Rose Gold, 5. Ultra Black

Tag Tuesday: Nail Polish Obsession Tag

Yes, I put stickers on my drawers like a tween. No, I am not a tween. :D

I loooooove nail polish so it's only fitting that this be the next tag I do!

Tag Tuesday: The Perfect Palette Tag!

We all know the ever popular Perfect Palette Tag that's been floating around on YouTube for a while now, right? If not, the gist is there are 10 questions and you choose your favorite palette for each category.

These are the questions:
1.   Best Packaging
2.   Best Color Payoff
3.   Most Versatile
4.   Best for Traveling
5.   Biggest Regret
6.   Best Color Names
7.   Least Used
8.   Most Used
9.   Most Loved
10. Desert Island

Without any further ado, here are my picks!


1. Best Packaging


It has to be the Urban Decay Vice 2 palette. It's very sturdy marbled purple plastic (say that 5 times fast) with a big, gorgeous crystal logo. What more could you ask for? An awesome button you press so the palette opens itself up revealing a huge mirror and 20 beautiful eye shadows for your use? Oh yeah, it's got that too.
