AGE: 30

LOCATION: Texas, US

1. Mini Bio?
I am a stay at home mother of two girls--ages 6 and 2. I always identify myself as a mother first because being a mom is my whole world. And in my spare time, I am a partner, a sister, a daughter, a best friend. I am a wisher, a thinker. I always hope for the best and expect the worst. I have high hopes and big dreams. I am sentimental and shy, passionate and at times too emotional. I am friendly, caring, and loving. I am far from perfect. But good or bad, I am always me.

REVIEW: L'Oreal Voluminous False Fiber Lashes

Voluminous False Fiber Lashes Mascara

L'oreal's Voluminous False Fiber Lashes claims to have a unique blend of long and short nylon and raylon fibers, the same material used to make false eyelashes. 

• Dual length fiber formula
• Exclusive polymer adheres fiber to lashes
• Bitonical waxes prevent hardening, crumbling or flaking
• Presision brush ensures optical application
• Safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers

Two of my favorite and go-to mascara's have been Maybelline's Great Lash and Benifit Bad Gal for a while now. But I still am looking for more without having to apply false lashes. So when I saw this I figured why not?

FACIAL MOISTURE WRAP AT HOME

The number 1 DIY service that can really compete with a high-end spa treatment is this deep facial moisture wrap.  This is a treatment that exfoliates epidermis gently, dissolves visible blackheads or whiteheads while intensely moisturizing and providing a natural glow.

Merry Christmas Tag!!

Hi Everyone!
So Christmas is finally here! I’m still a little shocked that its that time a year again. Christmas is not only may favorite holiday, but it’s also my favorite time of the year. From the day after Thanksgiving until New Years.

I came across this Christmas Tag on Becky's Makeup and Beauty Blog and thought it looked like a fun tag and would day better to post it but Christmas Eve! I've heard this tag has been going around so if you're reading this try and join in. Then leave your link in the comment section below so I can read your answers :)

From my heart to yours, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas!!

NOTD: Christmas Lights and Snowmen!

I honestly can't believe how quick Christmas snuck up on me this year, I feel like I was just laying out in the sun. Time goes by way too quickly and Im not sure I like it This is probably going to be my last Holiday Themed Mani  since Christmas is what, only 3 days away?! I really wanted to do at least 2 more but for some reason I've been busier than I thought :( Oh well, I cant wait to do New Years Eve nails. Those are gonna be fun :)

Beauty Tip of the Week

An Inexpensive Way to Brighten Your Teeth

I've tried all sorts of teeth whiteners and toothpastes and the only one I was ever really impressed with was the white strips. But the newer ones they have out now aren't that cheap so I wanna tell you how you can use mashed strawberries and a little baking soda to whiten your teeth. I did this a few months ago and only used  it twice a week and I noticed results in a few weeks.  

Its a great inexpensive way to remove stains from your teeth, strawberries have a certain type of acid in them that works as a stain remover and baking soda has always been known as a cleaning agent. If you do this twice or three times a week you will notice a difference in 2 or 3 weeks, the longest a month.  

Interviewing Joann from LuckyDuckyLoves

Interview with Joann from Lucky Ducky Loves

NAME:  Joann

AGE:  28

LOCATION:  Middleton, WI (right outside of Madison)

1. Mini Bio? 

Hi! I'm Joann and I'm pretty much obsessed with makeup, beauty products, fashion, social media, and anything pretty and feminine! I work as a sales advisor during the day but my ultimate goal is to do something regarding social media & marketing. I'm currently a student in business marketing. When I'm not working, I love to play around with makeup and try different looks and colors, blog, read, shop, write, and hang out with my family which consists of my fiance, Kris, and my crazy cat, Jezebel. I absolutely LOVE blogging but sometimes my busy schedule gets in the way of me being able to blog as much as I want to. I I also love meeting new people and making new friends. I believe that beauty is something that you cultivate within yourself so that it can shine through on the outside to everyone else. Makeup can enhance your best features but it isn't a requirement to be truly beautiful. Cheeeesy I know, but I really do believe this!

REVIEW: 5 PC DOTTING TOOL SET

Hey Beauties!!!
I hope everyone's having a good day. I am going to be reviewing a product that was sent to me from BornPrettyStore.com. If you've never heard of them, there a website with all different nail supplies, tool, stickers, stampking kits, brushes,etc. If you are into doing nail art and designs like myself you'll really like the site and what they have to offer.

I was contacted by them about a month ago asking if I would be intrested in trying out one of their products to review and of course I said yes. I had never heard of them until they contacted me. When I took a look at the site to pick out a product, I immedieatly saw there Dotting Tool Set and knew I wanted to try this product.

I TOOK THE KIND-HEARTED BLOGGER PLEDGE

I came aross the Kind Hearted Blogger Pledge on em jay & me"s blog.  After I  read her post on why she created this pledge it made me  really realize how cruel some people can be in the blogging community. Thank god I haven't had any negative experiences but I wanted to take this pledge like so many other bloggers have. You can look at her page here to see how many bloggers have participated in this.

REVIEW: BURT'S BEES Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream

BURT'S BEES Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream

What is it? 

This is a cuticle cream that has ingredients such as lemon oil, Vitamin E, beeswax and sweet almond oil. All of these are supposed to strengthen your nails, moisturize your cuticles and lock in moisture. It promises to leave your cuticles softer and nails stronger while you notice immediate results. 

Purse Party! What's in your purse?

I've seen a lot of "What's in my purse" videos on YouTube but you don't see a lot of bloggers post about it. I guess because it makes more sense since we can actually see whats in your purse but you can always take pictures and post them.

So I was excited when I got invited to join a What's in your purse party? Great Idea, right? Reni from in HER shoes came up with this idea. I said yes right away bc I've never actually did one of these posts. So thank you for the invite! Ok so lets see what's in my purse, (im almost scared lol).

NOTD: Holiday Themed Nails- Winter Wonderland

Hey Dolls!! 

So this is my 2nd Holiday themed manicure of the month. For some reason I could not decide on what colors or designs I wanted to do. I was looking through my polish stash and saw Blue Lagoon by Revlon and then it came to me, snowflakes and winter! I bought this color a few weeks ago, its part of Revlon's 2011 Romantic Collection. It's basically a baby blue with pretty iridescent shimmer. So anywho, onto the mani.

MY FAV NAIL COLORS OF THE SEASON + SWATCHES

This post is going to feature some of my favorite nail colors I've collected this season along with swatches. If you read my blog you might know that I'm really into nail polish, I always have been but my obsession has gotten worse over the year.  I used a nail wheel to swatch each color so you can hopefully see what it looks like outside of the bottle. As you can see I marked each color with a number right above and that corresponds to the descriptions below. I wanted to narrow it down to just 10 colors but I couldn't do it, narrowing it down to 13 was even hard. I hope you enjoy this post :)

DIY: MAKE YOUR OWN NAIL ART TOOLS

If you like to play around with different designs on your nails but don't have a dotting tool, a professional nail art brush or a stamping kit that's okay because you can make them at home with things you already have. Plus, who doesn't love a little DIY fun?

NOTD: Red Carpet Christmas!

Hello Dolls!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! This weekend we put up the Christmas tree and decorated the house. That always puts me in the holiday spirit. I’ve been excited to do a few festive theme manis throughout the month and today's nails are decked out in red, green and gold. I began with my usual basecoat, Sally Hansen's Complete Care 4 in 1 treatment. Then I used 2 coats of Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear's Red Carpet. Red Carpet is a pretty jelly based deep red with very fine glitter. The formula applied very smoothly and was completely opaque with just 2 thin coats.  I really love this color, its almost like a ruby red because of the light glitter. Then I applied a thin coat of Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri Anti Chip Top Coat.

Five Favorites: November 2011

I'm not going to say the usual "I cant believe it's already December" like I usually do every month bc its true. I am going to say that I'm happy its December, its my favorite month of the year. I love the holiday season so much plus my birthday is right after Christmas!
My favorite products this month are mostly new ones I bought and I think there's only one that I've had but started using again. 

SECHE VITE
Dry Fast Top Coat

I actually just purchased this yesterday but I already know I love it. After reading on so many nail blogs about how great this stuff was I had to see what all the hype was about. I went to Sally's Beauty Supply and they had it. I applied one coat of it on my already painted nails as soon as I got home. I swear it dried in less than a second! Then I noticed how shiny my nails looked. I have a very pretty blue  color with flashes of pink and purple shimmer on  and it made the color 10x more gorgeous. I've heard other bloggers say that it's the best top coat ever and they didn't know how they even painted there nails before they found this stuff. Now I totally understand what they mean. My mom also said to me later in the day, "Your nails look so gorgeous, it looks like shiny glass" lol. I told her about the top coat and she of course wanted to try it and loves it too. It guarantees not to yellow your nails from dark nail colors and promises to keep your color last without any chipping. The price was a little steep, it was around $9 but if you order it on the Sally's Beauty Supply website you can get it for only $7.99, or a dollar less if you are a member. It was well worth the money for me though. I cant wait to use it with every mani I do.
