Cuticula Review

Hi Beauties!

 PR Sample

Kristin from rainysunraysnails contacted me about new cuticle oil she was making called Cuticula and of course I jumped at the chance to try it. I've found that if I don't include some kind of cuticle oil in my nail care, they just don't look as good. Plus, I love supporting fellow bloggers! She does AMAZING nails and I am so jealous of her creativity! Definitely check her out. 

You can find her Cuticle oil: Here

Retails for $8.50 and comes in 3 different versions. I received Oh Snap which smells like a ginger snap cookie! yum. 

Now, for my thoughts:

I am really loving this oil. Its lightweight,nourishing, not sticky, and smells great. It soaks in pretty fast so its great for anytime use. I actually keep my bottle by my kitchen sink. Since its faster than my other oils when it comes to soaking in, I like using it every so often after washing my hands or when I am washing dishes, etc. It's really helped my cuticles and hang nails. I have a big problem with hang nails. They drive me crazy! This has seemed to help a bit with that too. I think when I run out of this, I am going to try Sugared Orange...it just sounds amazing! 

I really suggest this if your in the market for something you can use anytime during the day. You won't be disappointed.

Color Club: Bright Night

Hi Beauties!

 PR Sample

Ooh, do I have a bright blue polish to show you. If you love blues, you will most likely want this!

I know I've said this often, I am shocked I love blues! I used to hate blue polish on me and I don't know what happened but it is now one of my favorites to wear. On my fingers that is, I still can't stand blue on my toes. Don't know why, just weird I guess! ha

Bright Night is apart of the new Kaleidoscope Summer Collection. The whole collection looks beautifully done. 

I received this and Abyss so be on the lookout for that post soon! 

Purchase: Here

It's a little bit darker in person but gorgeous. I want to change my mani but I don't want to take it off yet. I really am just hooked on this blue.

 It took 2 coats to be to my liking, I really think you could get away with 1 though. I've had it on a couple days and still looks beautiful. No shrinking and minimal chipping and that's only cause I did dishes without gloves. 

Another awesome Color Club polish!

Cupcake anyone? {ft Sation}

 PR Sample 

Hi Beauties!

I have some sugary sweet nails to show you and get this, its 0 calories! ha

Since receiving these polishes, I immediately started thinking of nail art I could attempt. Now most of you know by now that I am not the most skilled when it comes to nail art but I am practicing more and then practicing some more after that. I love some that I do and then really hate some stuff that I do. 

This was one that I loved.

All polishes used were from the Candylandia polishes I received. See swatches of the polishes: HERE

 If you want to do this just have fun with colors! I can do a picture tutorial if needed but it really is simple!

Sation: Candylandia Polishes

Hi Beauties!

 PR Sample

Sation is a new brand to me. I can't believe I haven't tried any of their polishes before! I received 6 of the 12 from the Candylandia collection and I am beyond pleased with them all. I actually want to get the rest of the collection now. They all went on so smoothly, most opaque with 1 to 2 coats, and they lasted. Also, a nice brush which is a must!

Looks like it's their take on Candyland. Just a fun collection of gorgeous polishes with fun names. I don't know if it's just me but the polish is so much better when it has a fun name.  

They retail for $5. If you want to look or purchase: Candylandia

This one was hard to capture with my camera. I don't know why it was a pain but its a gorgeous lavender polish. True color is in the bottle shot above.

When it comes to favorites, this may be close to it. It is just gorgeous. I love the shimmer in it.

This is described as a striking indigo grape. Striking it is. It's an eye catcher for sure!

This has probably turned into my favorite nude color of all the ones I have. It has a gold shimmer and is just gorgeous. Perfect for low key days!

This is another almost favorite...I just can't choose favorites because I really love them all! This is perfect for toes. I've had it on my toes since getting it and plan to repaint with it too. Just love it.

This was another gorgeous polish but a pain to get a good picture of. I tried different lighting and this was the best when showing true color. Its a little blurry but this polish is gorgeous. Reminds me  of a starry night sky. 

 PR Sample

I have nothing bad to say about these polishes and see myself buying some soon. I actually used these for a little nail art to which I will post soon! 

Have you or will you try these?

City Color Blush Duo: Bright Pink/Soft Pink

Hi Beauties! 

Hope you are having a good week so far.

PR Sample

I have another gorgeous blush to show you from City Color. Out of all their products, I have been super impressed with their blushes. I really want to go buy all the blushes they make. I haven't disliked one yet, including this one. 

This is the Bright pink/soft pink Blush duo. There are 2 others that I'm actually thinking I might purchase today.
This retails for $2.99

Purchase: HERE

 This blush is gorgeous on and you only need a little bit. At first, I didn't think that and ended up looking like I went back to the 80's! I had a good laugh at my own expense. They are super soft and lightweight, go on so smoothly, and they last. I really have nothing bad to say at all about these. 

I would of put a picture of me wearing it but currently my skin is all messed up and I have a few breakouts....not cute for pictures! I had to show you this though. I will do a FOTD another day with these to show you.

Julep Maven in May: Set the Stage Jazz Collection{with swatches}

I Bought This

Hi Beauties!

So, Julep Maven in May....Let me just say it was love at first site when I saw it on the computer.

As I was selecting which maven box I wanted, I knew I needed the whole collection. This collection was inspired by the roaring 20s. I am all about themes and they all looked gorgeous. There was also lipsticks which were new to Julep this month, so of course I needed to try those out. I am happy to say I love everything about this collection and so happy I decided on purchasing them all. Now lets get to the pictures of all these beauties.

This lip scrub is amazing. Not only does it smell wonderful(the brown sugar smell) it works without being to abrasive. It leaves the lips feeling soft and moisturized. This is my first time trying out a lip scrub and I am already hooked.

This mascara is so so for me. It has little fibers on it to help with volumizing but for me this doesn't work that great by itself. I feel it gives me more of the spider leg effect(yikes). I do like this paired with my wet n wild mascara though. Seems to work lots better.  

(You can kind of see the little fibers that are on the brush below)

For a couple of the lipsticks, I wish they were more pigmented but overall I like the lipsticks. They feel moisturizing while on and they are colors I will wear. 

Isn't everything pretty? I really love the packaging of the lipsticks and the lip scrub. I am just so pleased with everything and know I will use everything. I can't wait to see the next Julep Maven selections.
