T.J.MAXX FINDS

I have been on the hunt for a cute pair of jelly sandals to use at the beach or on a pool day and the hunt finally came to an end when I found these beauties at T.J.Maxx. They are the Chinese Laundry studded jelly sandals. The best part is that they were only $14.99. 

When walking up to the register you have to walk though a little walkway that was built with the stores shelving and they are usually filled with makeup products, candles, gift bags and electronic accessories. I came across this e.l.f. Small Stipple Brush and had to have it. A girl can never have too many makeup brushes and it was only $2.69!

CND VINYLUX WEEKLY POLISH

CND has come out with a great alternative to Shellac. It is the VINYLUX Weekly Polish. This is is a great alternative to Shellac because you can change your polish every week if you'd like. CND claims that you can wear their Vinylux polishes for 7+ days without chipping! When I heard about this product I was so excited and could not wait to get my hands on a bottle of it. I am not a big fan of shellac for a few reasons: I get tired of seeing the same polish on my nails for two weeks, I do not like soaking my hands in acetone to remove them and for some reason my nails look horrible once the shellac is removed. 

With that being said, I think this is the perfect polish. No base coat is needed, all you need to apply is two thin coats of the VINYLUX Weekly Polish and finish off with one coat of the VINYLUX Weekly Top Coat. The VINYLUX Weekly Polish and theVINYLUX Weekly Top Coat are designed to work together. The innovative technology creates a long lasting wear and durability with exposure to natural light over time, which means that UV lamps are not needed to cure this polish!

VINYLUX dries completely in just eight and a half minutes and offers 62 polish colors to choose from (over 30 colors match the CND Shellac colors).

I picked up a bottle of the Hot Pop Pink #121 and the Weekly Top Coat. I painted my nails on Sunday, so it's day 3 and they still look fabulous!

Let me know what your thoughts are on the CND VINYLUX Weekly Polish if you have tried it.

Favorite Lips For The Summer

I was in a wedding at the beginning of May and had to get my makeup done, so I decided to make an appointment at the Mac counter. I was hesitant and excited at the same time because I had never gotten my makeup done at the Mac counter. I was very pleased the finished look and fell in love with my lips. I had asked for a neutral pink lip and this is what she came up with. Lips were lined with Boldly Bare lip liner, then filled in with Creme Cup cremsheen lipstick and the gloss she used was something that I would have never reached for, it is the Viva Glam Nicki 2.

The boldy bare lip liner has a brownish red tone to it. The creme cup lipstick is a pretty little blue with pink. The viva glam Nicki 2 lip glass is a pastel lavender pink.
