Spirits..



HarajukuHunnies (on twitter) sent me this Parian Spirit brush cleaner. I must say that I like it and might be one of my favorite brush cleaners.. Parian Spirit is preferred by professionals because it really cleans the brushes. It has a nice citrus smell to it (if you don't like the smell of citrus I would recommend you not to get it) and it is gentle to the bristles on the brushes. 







All you do is rotate the brush as you spray some product. Wipe it clean with a terry cloth and just wait for the brush to dry. Its a quick dry, so you wont have to wait for long :)

Enjoy

Burt's Bees....







I've had a problem with dry cuticles for a while now and its a pain in the butt... I have tried different hand creams and the problem is still there.. So while browsing through the Burt's Bees section at Rite Aide, I stumbled across this....


Ive been using this product for a week now and I've seen a big difference. My cuticles are softer and not peeling anymore.
Its 100% natural, with nourishing vitamin e. Its lemon butter so it does have a citrus smell. All you do is simply massage the cream into and around your nail when you feel that your cuticles are dry. You will start to see a difference within a day :)

Check this site out...






Hey guys, I hope everyone is having a happy Monday. I have a great site for yall to check out. Its Apothica.com. Apothica is a online beauty store. They sell all types of products that one would need (bath&body, makeup, fragrance, home&laundry, candles, skin care, hair care and for men). And most important they have products that are natural and organic :)


Naked Eye Soft & Sexy Eye Shadow Collection ($73 Value)
While browsing through there website I came across one of my favorite brands "Too Faced" http://makeup.apothica.com/too-faced.html (check it out). They have some great Too Faced sets for such a great price BUT the one that I want the most is the Too Faced: Naked Eye Kit - Soft & Sexy.

Oh I forgot to mention that they take Additional Options..... 
Makes buying  much easier. 

Enjoy

Lady....


I was going through my nail polish rack and found this Lady Marlon nail polish #23. I have no idea how it got there nor when I purchased it (hahaha). So I decided to give it a try. Its such a neutral color and I like it for those days when I don't feel like wearing bright/bold colors... Its like a greyish brown color with a little shimmer.. 




XOXOXO

Wet N Wild


















I finally got some of the Wet N Wild products that Ive been meaning to buy for the longest. Rite Aid had a buy one get one free sale about two weeks ago an all Wet N Wild products. So I took advantage of there sale and brought all four of there new palettes along with two lipsticks and  two other palettes. I must say that Wet N Wild has come a very long way from the time they came out to where they are at right now. I love there products and find them to be one of my favorite drugstore cosmetics. 

Palette # 382B ~Cool As A Cucumber~
These colors have a slight shimmer to them. You can still use this palette for a day look and/or night look.

Palette #385B ~Don't Steal My Thunder~
I like this palette because it has the three colors that I would use for a smoky eye look. The colors do have shimmer in them. This would be best for a night look.

The next two items that I purchased were lipsticks. The one on the left is #547B, which is a light pearly pink. The one on the right is #506B, which is like a burgundy brown.

I was surprised that this color came out looking so bright when I took this picture.
