Nail Polish of the Day 1/16/11

Hey everyone so I recently painted my nails so I thought I would do a post show you what color! Normally in the fall and winter months I tend to lean towards dark colors like dark blue, dark purple etc... But I thought I would change it up so I actually painted them a pastel pink color. I know it is a big change from the dark colors (I do wear light colors in the spring and summer months) in the winter but I thought I would try it. And it turns out I actually love it because  in the winter for me (because it snows) I lose my tan and I look kind-of pale. But the pink makes me look a little tanner, which sounds weird but I like the way it looks! So if you become pale in the winter try painting your nails a lighter color (I do not know if it will make a change because after all it is only your nails but hey it is worth a try right?)


The color I have on right now is Pink-ing of You by OPI

Hope you enjoyed and feel free to leave me a comment because I love hearing from all of you!

Review: Covergirl Natureluxe

Hey everyone. I have a review for you all today! It is on the Covergirl Natureluxe Gloss Balm! I have mine in the color 235 Grenache Grenache. In the tube it looks like a browny-pink color, but when I swatch it it looks like a gorgeous pink nude color. It is in-between a lip balm and a lip gloss, hence the name gloss balm! Also, I think it is a little like a lipstick because you can build up the intensity and some are not as sheer as the other colors. When I apply it to my lips it feels like a lip balm but it looks like a gloss but no gooey like some glosses. Do you know when you have a lipgloss on and you get like a white film around the inside of your lips? Well this one doesn't! I love it so much! I have been wearing it everyday and absolutely love it! It gives such a nice sheen to my lips! It smooths out the cracked dry lips and lines so they look and feel smooth to the touch. It is about 6 dollars at the drugstore and in my opinion totally worth it! I would recommend this to anyone because it is a lip balm, lipstick and lipgloss all in one.

How to: Make a Cinnamon Dolce Lattee (From Starbucks)

Hey everyone! It has been really cold where I live so I have been making such a yummy drink! I thought I would do a post for all of you on how I make it because it is so good. I know this is a makeup blog but I thought it would be fun to do a kind-of different post! What I am making today is a Cinnamon Dolce Lattee (from Starbucks). So I hope you all enjoy and let me know if you like this type of post! 


What you need:


A to-go cup of a mug
A coffee brewer (I am using the Keurig)
Coffee (I am using decaf coffee for the Keurig but any coffee is fine!)
1 cup of milk
3 teaspoons of Sugar
Ground Cinnamon
A microwave
measuring cups

Lets begin:


1. Wash your hands! :)


2. Get all the ingredients out


3. Pour 3/4 of milk in to a measuring cup

4. Scoop 3 teaspoons of brown sugar (or and sugar) and put in the milk 

I put them in this bowl just to show all of you but you do not have to

5. Mix them together until the sugar dissolves into the milk

6. Measure out 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and pour in the milk

7. Stir until the milk turns a darker color

8. If you are brewing the coffee with a Keurig start brewing (only brew half of the cup you are using)

9. Place the milk mixture (cinnamon and sugar) in the microwave for 3 minutes but watch it carefully and make sure it does not boil over (take out right before it bubbles over)

10. Mix the milk (cinnamon and sugar) with the coffee and stir until it is mixed.

11. If you want feel free to add whip cream (I didn't but you can if you want)


12. Drink up, but be careful it is hot!

Hope you enjoyed and let me know if you want more of these type of baking/ cooking post (if so leave me a comment or request on what you want and I will try to do a post) and if you tried this one!

Nail Polish of the Day 1/7/12

Hey everyone! I just painted my nails with an ELF Nail Polish! It was only a dollar in the color Metal Madness. I love it. It is such a pretty sparkly silver polish and it looks so awesome (I think)! It is a really good color because it is dark but not too dark. Also, it looks so much better on my nails than in the bottle.  I really like the brush on this and the cap because the brush it the perfect size and the cap is rectangular and you will have a lot of  control when you apply it. It was really sheer but once I applied three coats it was opaque and very nice looking. I especially love it because it is silver and sparkly!

Hope you enjoyed and let me know what color you have on your nails!

NYX Glitter Liner Review

Hey everyone. I have a review for all of you today! It is on the NYX Glitter Liner in the color Disco Queen. Basically if you love glitter, YOU WILL LOVE THIS! It is a bunch of glitter with all different reflects. I do not normally put this on my lash line per-say, but I put it on my lashes! It makes my look just have a little more sparkle! It makes my eyes pop so much and I think you will all love it! Plus, it is only about 4 dollars! The liner lasts all day. I do not use this everyday just at night of for parties. (If you want a party look tutorial please let me know.) Sorry for the shot review! But I hope this helps.

How to: Chalk Your Hair (Hair Chalking)

Hey everyone! I have a super fun tutorial for all of you! Have you every wanted to dye a streak of your hair a wild color like pink, purple, or yellow? But you don't want to commit to having it for a long time. Well now you can and it will only cost you about 5 dollars (if you already own a curler or flat iron). I love it and it is super fun! It is called Hair Chalking. But we actually are going to use oil pastels! 


What you need:


- a varity pack of oil pastels
- a flat iron or curling iron
- a spray bottle of water


Steps:


First I recommend you to put on a shirt that is junky and put a towel on your shoulder so you don't ruin your clothes. 


1. Section off your hair half way.

2. If your oil pastels have the paper around them remove it.

3. Take a 1/2 of an inch section of hair and spray it with water

4.  Next take the oil pastel and color the tip of your hair (or the whole thing if you want)

5. Repet steps 1-4 with the next section of hair


6. Brush them out and then flat iron or curl the pieces so it lasts all day (or until the next time you wash your hair)

7. Some of the color comes out on the iron but it is ok because all you have to do it wipe it with a towel or anything you want! 


 I think it is so fun and easy and it looks so cool!

I hope you all enjoyed this tutorial and let me know if you try it!
