OPI Pedal Faster Suzi❤

Hello my loves ❤
Hope you all are enjoying your week so far! Although the days are longer they seem to be going by SO much faster! Does anybody else feel like summer always flies by? Or is it just me? Anyways, today I wanted to share one of OPI loves (it's hard to find an OPI I don't love!)
                                                            Pedal Faster Suzi

Every girl needs a baby pink sparkly polish and this one is great! It is a bit sheer so if you do have longer nails you can see through your tips. If that bothers you you can always put a base coat of pink or white. The formula on this is perfect. Because it is a sheer color you need three thin coats, but if you use a base coat two is perfect! I am obsessed with this nail polish and would recommend it to anyone!

                                                     Would I Re-purchase? Absolutely!
                                                              Price: $8-10 at most Salons

Weekly Update ❤

Hello my loves ❤
I have been absent a lot lately like I mentioned in my last post. I thought it would be good to do a little update of what I've been up to!

I could organize my nail polish over and over again,

I just love it!

                        I picked up a couple new ScentSationals wax cubes from Wal Mart.
                 I chose Red Velvet Cupcake and Tropical Fiesta! I love to use these during
                     the day & then burn candles at night. I love my house to smell all day long!

                       My mom and sister surprised me with Prada Candy for me for mothers day!
                                                     They are way to sweet to me!

                                 I have been obsessed with eggs for breakfast lately;
                    on bagels, hard boiled, with salsa, etc. Any way, I just love them!
                                       I am currently reading The Wives of Bath.

                   Grant and the kids got me this beautiful flower basket for Mothers day!

                                                                     Mothers day :)

                                                  My babes hanging out together!

                                                 More organizing of all this craziness!
                                  My goal is for the house to be completely organized
                                 by the time I go back to work. So far it is going slow :(

        I received a new VoxBox with these Impress nails find my review of them here

                                                                  more organizing.....

                                 I made this Pinterest project for my mom for mothers day!
                             I wish the writing turned out nicer. Other then that I am very pleased!

                                      Have a great day :)

BroadWay ImPress Press on Nails Review❤

Hello my loves ❤
Sorry I have been absent lately, I have had back to back family visiting for the last couple weeks. So needless to say things have been a little hectic! Anyways last week I received a VoxBox from Influester that had not one but two packs of Broadway Impress Press on nails! I was pretty excited because these designs I actually liked! That's about as far as my liking went for them....so just a warning this will not be a 'good' review if that is what your looking for...

I received two packs of Impress nails

The pack on the left is from their new Villains Collection, this one is Maleficent.

The pack on the right is a pretty pink nail with black, white, and silvery blue details.

                                                  The design on these are very pretty!
                                   They look glossy and as nice as if you got gel nails.
                                                 They also don't chip which is a plus!

 

 
 
    

The first problem I have with these is how darn short they are! These are ridiculously short. I mean I do not have long nails by any means but even when I filed down my nails

they were still poking out. I had to force my self to file them in the first place

and was not about to make them any shorter. 

Even though these were short they did not fit my nails in width. You could see

my nails a great deal on both sides.

When I first saw these I laughed because it reminded me of when I was in high school

and we would all get the glue on nails, those were terrible! And they never stayed on for

more then a day. These stayed on for three, none fell off on the third day

but when I ran my fingers through my hair my hair kept getting caught under the nails

to a point that it would rip out my hair.

You could also see that the tips were beginning to lift. I am sure one

of them would have lifted by the next day.

 

These looked bulky and felt bulky overall not a win for me!

 

Have you tried Impress nails?

What was your experience with them?

Friday Favourites ❤

Hello loves ❤
Happy Friday my loves! Hope you all are having a lovely Good Friday! I am very excited for this weekend and spending time with my family. This past year we have lost both my grandparents and it makes it so important to spend as much time together as possible! I hope you all get to spend time with your loved ones this weekend as well :)


This week I have been trying to use some products that are a bit older. I always get so much makeup at the end of the year and at Christmas time and anything bought before then seams to get pushed to the back of the drawer. So these are some of my favourites that I rediscovered this week!

 Favourites:

 

Hard Candy Fox in a Box in Truth or Dare

I love the dolly pink blush side of this. It gives a nice doll like glow.

 

Ciate Nail Polish in Candy Cane

This glitter is a gorgeous cherry red. I love it for Jelly sandwiches!

 

Maybelline Mineral Power Foundation

This foundation is perfect for dry skin. I have been having the worst dry

 patches lately and this does not emphasize them.

 

Essence eyebrow pencil

Nice & natural. I don't get too crazy with my eyebrows but it is nice to give them a little definition.

 

Bath and Body Works Secret Wonderland Body Lotion

This is one of my favourite scents from Bath and Body Works.

I will be very sad when I use this all up!

 

The Balm Meet Matte Nude Palette

I basically always use a matte shadow in my crease and for some reason I have

no single matte eyeshadows. This is perfect for all my single eyeshadows and I love

all these colors!

 

                                                                          Fail:
My fail this weak is Almay's Nearly Naked Liquid Foundation. I never could remember why I stopped using this but I think I may have found out why. This breaks me out like crazy! I am going to try this one more time to make sure this is what is breaking me out but I am pretty sure this is it! 

                            Hope you all have a wonderful weekend :)

Orly Sparkling Grabage ❤❤

Hello my loves ❤
Hope you are all enjoying your day. The munchkins and I have been inside all day waiting for the cable guy to come and install our new modems. I always feel very weird about having a stranger in my house when I am alone. I think I read the newspaper too much because I get creeped out over  too many things now a days!! Do any of you get like that or am I crazy?

Anyways today I wanted to share a goodie with you all from Orly. This came out last year and I almost missed it because I went through a short stage of I am never going to wear greenish nail polish because it will clash with my clothes. I got over that really quick and was able to pick this beauty up at Marshalls when Orly was getting rid of all of their old bottles....

How stunning is this color? Seriously I just love the shade of teal this is with all the gorgeous holographic glitters! I guarantee you that you do not have a nail polish exactly like this already. This is a jellyish polish and you can see under your nail. You could use a  blue or white as a basecoat but I kind of like this finish! What I like the most about this polish is how long it lasted! Almost an entire week without minimal chips and trust me as a mother to young children that just does not happen! Overall this is a must have!

                                                                                 10/10
                                             Would I Repurchase? Yes and you should too!
                                                                  Price: 6.95 on Amazon

Essie Under Where ❤

Hello my loves❤ 
Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! I went out for the first time without my kids since I had Austyn back in February. It was really nice to have a night with adults but I could not wait to get back to my babies! I'm becoming one of those parents that can't be away from their children...oh my!  

    Anyway today I am sharing a very pretty nail polish I picked up last year from the Essie
      Resort collection 2013. I am not sure why but it took me this long to actually wear it!

Under Where is one of those colours that I can never decide if it is pink or purple.

Essie describes it is a Orchid shade, so let's go with that!

The colour of this polish is one that makes me happy just looking at it! It is just so darn beautiful and refreshing. Definitely a must have I must admit! The formula on it is amazing, thinner then most Essie's but no streaking. Two coats is perfect. Dry time is average. Overall just a fantastic nail polish & one I would recommend!

                                                                                  10/10
                                                           Would I Re-purchase? Absolutely
                                                             Price: $8 @ Nail Polish Canada.com

Michael Kors Nail Polish & Lipgloss Set❤

Hello Loves❤❤
Hope you all are having gorgeous weather like we are here in Vancouver! I am certainly ready for spring time! I can hardly wait for camping, weekend trips to Seattle, lake days and everything else that my family does in summer. And of course I cant forget my birthday!

So today I wanted to share The Michael Kors lipgloss & Nail Polish set that I got for Christmas. I have never tried Michael Kors cosmetics before so I was very excited to see how I liked them.

 

The set includes a nail polish in the color Gossip and a lipgloss in the color muse.

Both products are full size.

 

 

Muse is a sheer peach shade with small shimmer throughout.

The formula on this is decent and it doesn't have an over sticky feeling.

The problem I have with this is how sheer it is. It shows up basically clear which with a drugstore lipgloss would be fine, but the price point does not match up with the quality of this.

 

 

Gossip is a cream white nail polish with no glitter. It dries to a nice glossy finish.

The formula on this is absolutely terrible! It is terrible thick almost to the point of being goopy. That also makes it incredibly streaky and hard to apply.

 

 

Honestly I think you could save your $20 and get a nice cream white by Sally Hansen for around $2 and it will be much easier to apply! I had really high hopes for Michael Kors makeup. I love his handbags and shoes and he should probably stick to that.

 

 3/10

Would I Repurchase? No

Price:

                                                                     $50 for the Set

Nicole By OPI Disco Dolls❤

Hey dollies❤❤
Hope you all are enjoying your Mondays (or not lets be honest!) I honestly can not complain about Mondays right now because I am on mat-leave so everyday is the weekend for me. But I truly feel for all you working lady's! This weekend we took it easy because the next couple of weekends will be busy. I just focused on trying to find the perfect Easter gifts for my girls....Ava is quiet easy because she wants everything but I am having a hard time deciding what to get Ausyn. There is only so much a 2 month old needs. If any of you have suggestions I would greatly appreciate it!!

Anyways today I wanted to share some pics of a really great Christmasy glitter (why I am posting this in April who knows!) It is from the Nicole by OPI Kardashian Christmas collection in 2012. I picked it up from the discount bin for only $2 which is a steal for Nicole by OPIs which normally run from $9-$10!

Disco Dolls is a yellow toned gold glitter with some fuschia, spearmint, and silver glitters mixed in. They are all medium sized glitters and take about 2 coats to reach full opacity. It has a slight grit to it when dry but you can easily add a top coat to give it a nice glossy look and feel.

I have never seen a glitter exactly like this one. I really think it is a must have for the festive season. If you can get your hands on it I would! The formula is really great for a glitter. Not at all goopy which often happens with glitters. It is a little bit of a task to get off but you wont often find a glitter that isn't.


                                                                            10/10
                                                     Would I Repurchase? Yes!
           Limited Edition & no longer available in stores. Found on Amazon for $5!                                                                                                                                         ❤❤

ELF Ultimate Look Mauve Set Review & Swatches ❤

Good morning Lovelies ❤❤

I hope you all are having a lovely day! I love trying new makeup and was very excited to receive this ELF kit from my friend as a gift. I wanted to share some swatches and a review of all the products :)

I love mauve!

The set includes one pair of eyelashes, black eyeliner, Lengthening and Defining mascara, pencil sharpener, sponge applicator, and three eye shadows.

                    I quiet enjoy ELF lashes and for the price you can just not beet it!

One thing I don't like about this kit is how these eye shadows do not have any names on them. It's not a big issue but I am the type of person that likes to know the names of everything.

                               Above is the eye shadow shades without eye shadow primer.

                            Above is swatched with eye primer. I love these shades SO much!
  They are a bit powdery and are not terribly pigmented but you can definitely build them up  to a nice shade! They do have fallout so you need to make sure to tap your brush!

As for the mascara, eyeliner, and eye shadow brush. Do not waste your money! These products are beyond terrible! The mascara was ridiculously thick and goopy. You could not even apply it to your lashes because it was too thick.

 

The eyeliner was hard to apply and did not last long enough finish applying mascara.

It shows up more of a grey then a black which is my pet peeve for black eyeliner!

 

And the eye shadow brush has the worst fallout I have ever seen in a brush! It would literally fall out in large chunks as you were applying it! 

 

                                                                            4/10

                                                Would I Re-purchase? Not as a kit

                                                              Price: $7 for set $1 a piece
