Music Challenge Day 11

THE LAST DAY OF THE MUSIC CHALLENGE!! :( I'm always sad when a challenge ends, and this was no exception! I had so much fun, and I loved how the songs were the inspiration. Today's song was Born to be Wild, and I just used Sally Hansen Loves Me Not and added Spoiled Papa-Paparazzi and Sinful Colors Frenzy.  This was fun, and purple and sparkly and I really enjoyed this mani, along with the rest of the challenge.

Music Challenge Day 10

I meant to post this, but in the midst of Sandy, I totally forgot to.  Oops.  My powers back and I'll be ready for tomorrow's challenge and possibly a halloween mani! Today's song was Ray of Light by Madonna, and I just kind of drew on some lines on a black mani!  This was actually really fun to wear, and I was very upset when it chipped.

Music Challenge Day 9

The music challenge is almost over! :( For this, I wanted to use Revlon Whimsical, probably because the theme is Glitter in the Air by P!nk, so I made the connection without realizing until after.  I used Sinful Colors Cinderella, Juelp Portia and Revlon Whimsical.  I actually really liked how it looked when I added Portia, it made it a little more sparkly and fun.

Music Challenge Day 8 AKA POKEBALL NAILS!

I was so excited for video games as the challenge, but I didn't know what to do.  I LOVE pokemon, so I decided to do little pokeballs on my nails. I got so many comments on these, one of my friends kept pressing them and asking me why pokemon weren't coming out. I used revlon top speed in fiery and wet n wild french white creme and a black striper.

Beauty Blogger VoxBox 2012 Review!

Oh my gosh, I am so excited to share this with you guys.  Awhile back I saw a blog post about influenster and joined, and I was chosen to receive the Beauty Bloggers VoxBox 2012!! I was so excited that I was picked.  I was even more excited when my box came!

 This is what the box looked like from the outside when I got it. 


 

This is what I saw when I opened the box! Look at all the goodies!


There was a neat little card that had all of the products listed, along with a description and price.  

 

 I've never worn fake eyelashes before, but these look really cool. 


The next is a mini candle from Bath & Body Works.  The scent is black pepper bergamot, which smells really delicious! It also had a coupon for a three wick candle.  


The next product is a NYC IndividualEyes custom compact.  This was really cool, and I really liked the look, even though it's for brown eyes and I have blue eyes.  I think it actually looked better when I got home from school then it did before school.  It almost got intensified in a really cool way.  


The next item is a EBOOST packet, which is kind of like a little energy boost type thing.  It looks cool, but I'm not quite sure about the flavor.  I hope it tastes like tang, because I LOVE that stuff.

  

 This product is really cool.  It's a not your mothers kinky moves curl defining cream.  It smelt nice in the bottle, but I didn't really like how it smelt in my hair, but it wasn't strong enough that it overpowered my other products.  I liked how this product worked, and the scent is the only negative thing I can find with it.

 

 Vitabath is a brand I've never heard of, and it actually is a surprise favorite from here.  I wasn't sure at all about the scent, citron leaves, but it really grew on me.  I'd like to try other scents from this brand, it was strong but not too strong, and it had good staying power. 


  I've seen the spin pins at the store, but always thought those would never work for me.  I have long, thick curly hair, and those are some pretty thin bobby pin contraptions.  These worked SO well for me, and I love them! I never thought they would work, but they did and I love the results!


 These pictures didn't turn out too good, but you get the idea.  It's very hard to take a picture of a bun on your head.  I redid the first one, and the second one is how I wore my hair for the day.  It stayed in all day, is not uncomfortable and is super easy to do! I totally recommend these. 


 If you want to sign up, just go to influenster.com.  It's a really cool site, you sign up and earn badges and then you can get chosen to recieve a voxbox to review. 

If you have any questions about any of the products or influenster, leave me a comment or email me. 

Have a great day! Hope you enjoyed this review! 




Music Challenge Day 7

BARBIE GIRL! For today I wanted to find my most "Barbie" color, and I found it! It was a 10 Professional Nail Color in pink-a-boo.  This color was very bright and lasted really well.  I don't know why, but I didn't take any pictures of it.  It was very pretty I promise.  Here's a similar look I did awhile back with Orly Oh Cabana Boy.

Music Challenge Day 6

 Smoke on the water nails! I did a simple saran wrap mani for today, and I LOVED IT! I used one coat of 10 professional nail lacquer (I got this and a few more on clearance at CVS and they have turned out to be AMAZING) and used saran wrap to apply Revlon Carbonite.

Music Challenge Day 5

I was so excited for this day.  I LOVE Katy Perry and was so excited to do nails based on one of her songs! I used a bunch of different sparkly colors for this, I could look them up if you're really curious.

Saran Wrap Nails!

I saw these awhile ago and thought, hey I should do that.  Then one day, I was doing something and saw saran wrap, and I wanted to paint my nails, and I did saran wrap nails.  They were messy, but I am IN LOVE with these.  I did them again, and I am absolutely in love.  It's so simple, but the result is SO COOL.  I cannot stop looking at my nails.  I want to do so many of these, and do different colors, multiple colors, a whole bunch of stuff! They weren't terrible to clean up, but it was obviously needed.  My nails were so long here before like four of them broke :( They'll get there soon, but I hate waiting. 




 Haha they match my nail desk! How cool!  Have a great day!

Music Challenge Day 4

Today's song is Bad Romance by Lady Gaga, and to say the least I wasn't feeling too inspired.  I did two coats of a grey-black polish, the "bad" and hearts on my ring finger, the "romance".  My designs for the next days should be cooler, I hope.

Music Challenge Day 3

The song today is Over the Rainbow by Judy Garland.  At first I was just going to do different colors, but then I saw a rainbow stamp and decided to do that.  I used one coat of various colors, if you want to know a specific one, just leave a comment and I'll get back to you.  Then I stamped on the rainbow.  These nails are super-fun and I really like them! The stamp I used was BM-201, I'm so glad I found the rainbow stamp, it really tied the nails together and made the look complete! (I tried to post this with rainbow colors, but you couldn't really see the yellow, orange or green really well)

Music Challenge Day 2

Hello! Day 2 of the music challenge is Rockstar by Nickelback.  I'm a HUGE nickelback fan, and this song was one of the reasons I decided to do this challenge.  I wanted to do something cool, with rhinestones and guitars, but I ended up doing a simple stamping mani.  I LOVED how this came out.  
Some of them came out alright, but three fingers in a row came out AWESOME so I have a picture of just that.  I used BM-201, sally hansen color quick and revlon top speed in fire.

Music Challenge Day 1

Hello everyone! Today I start one of my two October challenges.  I love music, and I couldn't resist this challenge.  This one is music themed and the first one is Intergalactic by the Beastie Boys.  I decided to do a simple night sky mani for this challenge.  I actually really liked the look of these nails, and decided not to add anything else on top of it, in fear of ruining it.  I used a black polish and a light pink sparkly polish for this mani.
