Spoiled (by Wet n Wild) Nail Polish in Shrimp on the Barbie

Spoiled (By Wet n Wild) in Shrimp on the Barbie
I found myself in CVS a few days ago and I decided to take a gander around the makeup isle (of course, what else would I look at?). Now I don't know if anyone has head of Spoiled nail polish cause I haven't heard about it from any of the people I watch on youtube or read here on blogger. I had one other polish from this brand before this shopping trip and I really liked the formulation. So when I was looking around (and picking up things which, if I'm being completely honest, I don't need) I decided to pick up two more colors. This color, is by far, my favorite. Now the picture is showing my nails to be a completely different color than whats in the bottle but I promise you it looks just like the color in the bottle. The polish is pink with rose gold shimmer. It is such a summer color and I love it. The best part is because it is a Wet n Wild brand it's not ridiculously priced. I think I paid $2.99 for this polish. I've only been wearing this polish for two days so I can't comment on how it wears and handles chipping but I can tell you about the application. Sadly, this wasn't the most opaque formula. It took me three coast to get a completely opaque finish. One bonus though, the individual coats didn't take long to dry. Anyway! I just had to share this color because I can't stop looking at it lol. I think it is such a beautiful color and great for summer. Be Fearless. Be Beautiful. Be You!

CVS Haul!

Last night I took a trip to CVS and end up buying a few new item (surprise surprise right?). The first things I picked up were the Wet n' Wild Nail Polishes in I need a Refresh-Mint and Tropicalia. I absolutely love these colors! I love mint colors, especially in the spring and summer because I think it's a nice break from the bright pinks and corals that most women wear in the warmer months. However, I do like my "traditional" summer colors like Tropicalia. I think this is a beautiful blend of pink and coral that's very wear able and very on trend. I got these colors for $2.99 a piece. The next and last item I bought from Wet n' Wild was a single eyeshadow in Nutty for $1.99. It's a nice medium brown and I have always gravitated towards natural colors. You can't go wrong with them. I really feel like Nutty will be a nice addition to my collection. I also bought a new foundation to try out. I bought Rimmel London Lasting Finish in Ivory for $7.99. I've been looking at this foundation for a while but was hesitant because in the bottle it looks way too dark for me, however when I squeezed a little bit out in the store it looked much more my color so I decided I would give it a try. I haven't worn it yet so I can't give you any idea of how it preforms and how the color looks on my face but I have seen several reviews about this and the majority of them have been nothing but positive. The next item I bought was something I've been looking all over for. Physicians Formula Nude Shimmer Strips for $11.79. I saw a beauty guru on youtube talk about this a few months ago and ever since I've been dying to get my hands on this. I love nude or natural shadows and the packaging is just too cute to pass up. However, everywhere I went It was no where to be found. It was either sold out or not kept in stock so when I saw this I just knew I had to have it. Then last but not least I bought an old favorite Maybelline Lash Stiletto in the Waterproof formula. I love the way this mascara lengthens my lashes. I don't have natural beautiful lashes so I wear false lashes a lot, however with Lash Stiletto I don't have to do that as often. I hoped you enjoyed this haul!

Essence of Beauty Face Travel Brush Kit Review

I bought this kit about a year ago to keep in my purse for touch ups. It has now become a part of my daily routine. The brushes in this set are wonderful. I don't use the brushes the way they're labeled to be used but they work just fine for me. The "eye shadow" brush was great for the crease but eventually I had to throw it away. It started shedding and lost it's shape. While it lasted thought it was my favorite brush. The "liner brush" is great for packing color onto the lid or putting a highlight on under the brow bone. The "blush" brush is too small to be used for blush but it's not half bad for blending eye shadows. I think the "conceal" and "powder" brushes are the only one's I use the way they are labeled. I have dark under eye circles so I need extra coverage. The "conceal" brush does fantastic job of putting product under your eyes without rubbing it off. The "powder" brush does a good job putting on powder. It doesn't make your application look cakey or too thick. I really liked the "smudge" brush as well. I loved to use that to smudge the color on my lower lash line, that is until I lost the brush. The brushes are easy to clean as well as their carrying case. I think that's my favorite part about the kit, the carrying case. It's easy to clean so your brushes don't hold bacteria or colors from a different look, and you can see the brushes so you're not digging around in the bag looking for the one you want. I bought this kit at CVS for $7.99 or something like that. I bought this a while back so it's hard to remember.
