April Favorites

Hello darlings!  Another month has just breezed on by, and here we are again with another "Favorites of the Month"!

KISS- EVERLASTING FRENCH IN REAL SHORT

For $5.99, I gave myself the best french manicure of my life in less than 5 minutes!

I've had these on for almost a week now and they haven't fallen off or chipped.  People have complimented my nails, and are always so surprised when I tell them about the product.

Yep, you can get them at your local pharmacy for the same price as gratuity at a normal salon!

They look great and because their short, they don't get in the way of my every day activities (except volleyball- ouch!)


This next product I am about to mention has changed my life.

WEN
I came about this product on a Sunday afternoon. I was innocently watching TV, when this infomercial came on. 
Now, I don't usually buy into infomercials, but Alyssa Milano was the spokes person, and for some reason I find her to be credible.
This hair care system isn't a shampoo, but a cleansing conditioner.  
I have thick curly hair that can be downright impossible.  Wen gives me this incredible shine and softness I've never had before.
After my first use, friends were asking me what was different with my hair. They said that it looked a lot sleeker and healthier.
My first order was a 30 day trial and came with everything you see in the below picture, plus a comb.
Remember, if you order through the Wen site, you are automatically enrolling for a "membership".  So make sure to cancel as soon as your order comes in.
This product may not work for everyone because we all have different hair types, but it definitely works for me.

My last favorite of the month is the:
EOS LIP BALM IN MEDICATED TANGERINE
I had originally jumped on the eos bandwagon last year, with the Summer Fruit (hot pink) balm.
I hated it.  It made my lips feel like I had a tape or something un-smooth on them.  Almost like it just sat on top of my lips and didn't absorb.  Needless to say, I was not a fan.
Luckily, I found the Medicated Tangerine and decided to give it another try.
I am so glad I did!  It's wonderful.  I have used it so much that I no longer have a sphere.  It's more like a plateau!
I love applying the eos balm under my lipstick as a primer.  It works nicely with drying lipsticks such as Lime Crime, and keeps my lips looking soft and supple.

So there you have it.  My favorite products for the month of April.

I conclude this post with some photos of very good friends that I haven't seen in so long!

St. Patty's Pot-O-Gold

I wanted to post another look for St. Patty's day (tomorrow)....where the heck does time go?!

While I was creating this look, I kept thinking of a little leprechaun feverishly hugging his pot of gold.

I sure hope the look translates what I had envisioned!

Getting Ready for St. Patrick's Day with La Mer!

Good day lovelies!
This Saturday was the annual Leprechaun Day in Hoboken, NJ.  However, I did not attend.
I did put on some festive gear and makeup, just to keep the spirit of it all.
Lately, I've been going for a more natural look.  Most likely because the sun has been out, and I don't like using a lot of makeup in the spring and summer.

Side note: Can I just share an AMAZING line of products with you??
