I love this nailpolish. This polish has 7 in 1 benefits!
1- Base Coat
2- Strengthener
3- Growth Treatment
4- Color
5- Top Coat
6- Chip Resistant
7- Gel Shine Finish
Now, i will always give my honest opinion, even though I got this free.
It dries so quick, Which is love. It doesnt clump up, it goes on very even. The color is very true and rich. This lasts very well on the nails.
I highly recommend it!
The 3 shades I was sent are: Jaded, Pat on the Black and Red my Lips.
I threw in a fun photo of me using the shade Red My Lips for Valentines Nails, using the Sally Hansen Nail art pen!
Also, I used the color Jaded to paint my daughters nails, and do fun French tips.
My favroite nail polish has always been Essie, but after trying this it has become my favorite.
It really is a Complete Manicure in a bottle!
Check out the photos below and If you have any questions about the nailpolish or influenster, just ask!

So I dont like giving bad reviews on products, id rather just show things I like and not talk about what I dont like, but after hearing all kinds of great reviews of this product and buying it and spending $15 on this and the reviews weren't all true, I had to do my own review on it.
So Pacifica BB Cream claims to do 5 things.
First it says its a bare skin tint- They are right about it being bare, it is very sheer and I heard people say that so I knew it was going to be sheer. I didn't realize it was so sheer it was like wearing nothing at all. I know BB Creams were sheer but this is more like a primer to me.
Second its supposed to be an illuminating primer. I do agree with it being illuminating, and if I was going to use this I would only use it as a primer. I don't notice it fill in any pores or lines, but I do feel like it makes my foundation last longer when I wear it over the top. The illuminating effect is good too.
Third it says it has a perfecting finish. The finish isnt bad but when its so sheer you cant even really tell, thats my complaint. It does have a nice finish but the finish doesn't matter if all your pimples are showing through and illuminated.
Fourth it claims to be age-defying. I cant say if it is or not. It does smell really good. It smells like a face cream. If I use it more and see a difference, I will come back and let you know.
Fifth It is supposed to be shade matching! This is why I did this post in the first place. I heard so many people say it was great at matching skin. From dark skins to very pale. A lot of the good reviews were comming from ipsy bag users that are really popular on YouTube. Maybe for some it did match really well, but for me this didnt match at all and it just seemed like youtubers were saying everything in the bag was good even if it wasn't.
Take a look at my photos and see what you think! Let me know if you have tried this BB cream and if it actually worked for you.
Grunge Makeup 90s look inspired by Courtney Love
★ This was such a fun look for me. I love everything Grunge. I love grunge music, the style and how it reminds me of the 90s.
《Real Grunge isn't Marc Jacobs $2000 shirts, as a band member of Kurts once said. It was how you could wear a $1 t-shirt and holes in your jeans, either bc thats all you can afford or you dont care about showing off.
I believe Kurt Contain and Courtney Love was the face of grunge in the 90s and I just love their style and Courtney's wildness and her makeup! 》
So for the eye makeup- I was inspired by this picture below of Courtney. True Grunge makeup is messy its ment to look slept in. I took MAC Saddle and blended it really high and really low under my eyes. I then put black eyeliner on the top and bottom close to the lash line then smudged out messily. I used a pixi mascara first then curled the lashes and piled more mascara on with an old mascara. You want a little bit of spider lashes. Not too mutch but, if you blob your mascara that just adds to the look.
For the lips- I was trying to find a shade close to hers so, I first stained the lips with just a little bit of Revlon Black Cherry lipstick. Then over top I wore a little MAC Cockney lipstick for that little bit of red.
For skin- I used a Rimmel BB cream that im loving at the moment in the shade light. I did contour my cheekbones to give that sunken in look. I didnt wear any concealor bc I wanted to look like I've been up doing drugs all night. Lol (just kidding) , but I thought it added to this grunge feel. I didnt wear any blush. I did use powder all over for a matte look.
☆I hope you enjoyed this makeup! I love everything about grunge. The shirt im wearing in the photos is a Courtney Love Hole band shirt I found on ebay. My favorite song from the band Hole is Doll Parts.
Thanks for reading! Let me know if you love grunge makeup as much as I do!

This is going to be a quick post because this was pretty easy.
I bought a 7" leather tablet case for my 7" Nextbook from Amazon, so why it didn't fit "at all" I have no idea.
Sorry I didn't get a before picture of just how bad it didn't fit but, as you can see from the after picture, it was way too small.
I read online to use water and then stuff it with tissue or some kind of paper to stretch it out, but then a friend told me to use a hair dryer.
I didn't think a hair dryer would work bc I know a hairdryer can actually shrink shoes, but I gave it a try and the leather started to stretch. So take a look at the picture of the after result and its not perfect but its do-able. I didnt feel like sending the case back and I know how easy it is for tablets to break so this will do for now.
Let me know if this helps!
