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!

What's in My Bag?

Hello dolls!

I treated myself to some early Christmas gifts and wanted to share what I picked up, with you.

So I'm going to breakdown my purchases by category (brand).

Let's begin...

Lime Crime 

I've heard a lot of buzz about this brand called Lime Crime.  Not only from viewing other blogs, but the advertisements are on every site, I swear!

So I decided to check out what all the fuss was about. 

I read through their site and saw that their eye primer was highly rated, along with all their shadow colors.

After some web research, I found this to be true.

I looked up where the nearest location was, and the rest is history.

What an amazing line.  The colors are so potent and vibrant!

And let me tell you about their candy eyed primer...wowza.  It does everything it says it will.

Here's what the Lime Crime website states the primer will do, and so far- I agree:

• Intensifies color
• Prevents creasing for up 24 hrs
• Makes your eyeshadow water-proof
• Comes off with waterproof makeup remover or lotion



Candy Eyed Eyeshadow Helper

Along with the primer, I bought three magic dust eyeshadows.  Although they are loose eyeshadows, they can be used for lips and cheeks as well.

The colors I got were:

Magic Dust in Dragon Scales



Magic Dust in Twilight



Magic Dust in Mirror Mirror

M.A.C.

Famous costume designer, Gareth Pugh - who has worked with celebrities like Kylie Minogue, has a very unique, dark and sexy (in my opinion) collection with M.A.C.  I had to stop myself from buying everything- that was left.  Click here to check it out.

I bought the lipglass in "Vacant" and I love it.  It is such a unique iridescent color.

Lipstick Queen

Then there's Lipstick Queen...let me tell you a little story about my experience with Lipstick Queen.

While I was in London in October, I checked out this trendy Apothecary called Space.NK.apothecary.

I spent over a good hour trying on countless lip colors in search of the perfect red.  When finally, I found it! When I asked the lady to grab that color for me, she let me know they were out of it...womp womp.

Lipstick Queen's Fifteen Minutes of Fame
Pop Art Lipgloss in #9

There's nothing more irritting than falling for something, and not being able to have it!! Grr!!

The color was #9 and the line was Lipstick Queen *sigh*.

I never wrote down the name and had been thinking about the color ever since.

When I went to purchase the Lime Crime products, guess what was sitting literally right next to it??!  LIPSTICK QUEEN!!  Luck?  I think not.  It was destiny.

	I will do a follow up post reviewing these products, and will also make a seperate post on the vitamins I bought, because I strongly believe that beauty must start on the inside. Later loves!
