MAC Cyber Lipstick!

MAC Cyber Lipstick is a deep purple/black shade. It is supposed to be a satin but it feels more like a glaze to me. I find it will just smudge off so easily.
The Color is amazing and the way I wear it is do one layer then blot with a tissue, then do another layer again until I make a stain.
Then it does last amazing.

This lipstick can be very wearable if you keep the rest of the face minimal.
Maybe make it all about the lips and lashes.

You dont have to be gothic to wear a color like this. This can actually be made very chic and modern if you wear it like I said.

I would highly recommend this lipstick even tho I said it smudges, there is just no other shade ive found as gorgeous. So its worth it. Just make sure you wear it like a stain so it will stay put.

This lipstick costs around $15 and
You can find this lipstick at:

I also did a youtube video showing more pictures of the lipstick again up close with lip swatches:

Review on Coppertone Clearly Sheer Sunscreen I got sent to try Free from Bzzagent!

Hi everyone!
I wanted to share these Coppertone sunscreen products with you!

First Off... Ive had some bad sunscreen stories with other brands. Just a few.... I put some on my 3 year old and she rubbed it in her eyes and cried all day. I finally got her to open her eyes while I rinsed it out. :(
And I have a tanning bed. I know how bad tanning is on your skin so I put sunscreen on my face and neck, ive used a few different ones but every time I still get burned.

So I was kind of iffy about these ones, but I have to say, they are great!  They keep me from burning when im tanning.

They go on very sheer and they are spf 50.
The texture is probably my favorite thing about these. I was able to put it on my daughter and she didnt even notice it.
It works amazing!
If you are looking for the perfect sunscreen for everyone, I highly recommend the Coppertone Cleary Sheer Sunscreen.

Sally Hansen Gel Manicure Kit

So I received this kit free from being a prize winner at influenster. They didnt ask me to do a post about it or review it or anything, but I wanted to.
I know these kits are expensive and I wanted to point out a few things before you spend your money on it.

I got the light pink color, I would advise you, if you are going to get one of these get a darker polish because the pink is so sheer it literally takes 4 coats at least before looking as opaque on the box.

I find the light it comes with does dry your nails but not in 30 seconds like it claims to between each polish.
It says to use the bottom coat then dry under lamp for 30 seconds and the same with the polish and top coat.
I had to dry them for a minute and a half for my nails to get dry with the lamp.
Which is better than nothing.

I went ahead and used a different sally hansen polish a pastel blue color instead of the pink because it was more opaque. 

I havnt had them on but a day so I will come back and let you know how long they last!

Thanks for reading and check out the pics below!

How to heal cracked feet and heels, fast and easy!

How to heal cracked and callous feet, fast and easy!

I had a freind from Syria tell me this trick, use Vaseline or in my case Blue Goo cream on your feet. Put your socks on and sleep in them all night. I use the aloe Infused socks, which I got at Dollar general but they sell them at any store. I also bought the 'Blue Goo Cracked Heels and Hand Cream' from Dollar General.
This is the best cream I have ever used. It is infused with EMU oil & Beeswax.
I tried Vaseline and it worked great but if you are looking for something that works even faster, try the Blue Goo brand.
I was amazed with the results after one night how soft my feet were. You can also use this on your hands, cuticles, any dry areas.
I love this technique because You dont have to scrub your cracked feet or anything like that.

Give it a try and let me know what you think!!

Outfit of The Day! & How to accessorize!

●Outfit of The Day! Plus How to                accessorize!

◆Im wearing all Forever21 clothes. I love Forever21. They are stylish, fun, diverse, they have everything clothing wise you are looking for and all at a great price! Most of my clothes come from here so I would highly recommend you check  them out!  You can find them here:
http://www.forever21.com

▶ Since im wearing a plain shirt and just plain jegging, I wanted to do some fun accessories.
- A statement necklace with matching earrings is what ive gone for. If your outfit is plain then a statement (can either be bright, bold or just big) necklace is a great choice. Mine are a light pink color but its still a statement piece bc its so big.
- I decided to wear some pointed toe flats. They are eye catching because they are pointed and a little more dressy but still casual at the same time bc they are a neutral color. It goes well with this outfit. The back of the flats have some pretty silver detailing and a pop of white, that match the shirt.

▶If you are wondering the lipstick im wearing, it is MAC Impassioned and the eyeshadow is Suspect from the naked 2 palette.

Thanks for Reading! Let me know if you would wear this and if it was helpful!

Spring/Summery Nails Of The Day!

These nails just make me think of spring and summer. They are so fun and easy!

●All you need to do is paint all but your accent nails a bright summery Color. I went with hot pink.
·Then Paint your ring finger any shimmery or metallic gold or silver Color. It doesn't have to look the exact same as mine to get the Same affect.
·For the middle finger, paint the entire nail white. Let it dry and I used a Black Nail skinny brush that makes stripes. I got mine from the dollar store. LA. Colors brand. And just do as many stripes as u want as big or small as you want. You can also use tape if you dont have a steady hand and you could use a zigzag tape or straight peices.

★Let me know if you like them and if you will be trying these nails out this Spring/Summer!!

My Lip Injections Juviderm fillers Experience! Before and After photos! How long it took me to heal! Plus photos of the swelling and bruising!

My Lip Injections Experience! Before and After and more photos of the healing process below.

●First I want to talk about where I had my top lip done, the price and what juviderm is.

  So I live in Huntington, WV and I got very lucky and found a great deal. Most syringes of Juviderm can cost anywhere from $450.00 to $600.00 or even more depending on where you live.
I went to:
http://www.MtStateOES.com where 1 syringe of Juviderm only cost me $300. So if you are in the Huntington/Charlston or tri state area, I highly recommend them.
I wanted to get this done only in my top lip because I just really didnt have much of a top lip at all. My lips were uneven so I was a little more worried about how it would turn out, but my doctor who preformed the lip augmentation told me there is a science behind it so its easy for him to look and see where to put it. I am very happy with my results.

●I chose Juviderm beacuse it is the safest choice. It is a liquid already in our bodies so our body isnt going to react bad to it, but since it is already in our bodies or body desolves it. So you will need to go back and get them touched up anywhere from 6-12 months, depending on how fast your body desolves it. So it doesnt last forever, but I think its worth the price.

There is another filler called Restalyn. It costs more because it lasts longer and it is also a liquid made up of our bodies but it can clump more because it has something in it that makes our body want to store calcium around it. So the safest choice is the juviderm. I have heard people say the Restalyn works great for them and they love it so this is just opinion, but I have heard doctors say juviderm is their favorite and safest also.

● Juviderm also can be used in lines around the mouth and smile lines on the sides of our face or just any lines around the mouth. Also, lines in the middle of the forehead. It really does give amazing results. Where the difference in Botox is Botox is for crows feet and lines around the eyes. You can also use it on the forehead.

● I put my journey in pictures so you could see how many days it took to heal and what they looked like during the week.

--Let me know what you think! If you have any questions feel free to ask! If you are thinking about getting it done and want to know more, I will gladly answer all questions!  :)

Thank you for reading and I am so glad I was able to take you along this journey with me!
