Ins & Outs #1

So this is my first time ever doing and "ins and outs" blog! So, i'm excited!

Ins

1. Glitter makeup! Oh my gosh, I never get to wear glitter on my eyes without feeling silly, except for during Christmas and New Years! So, I fully take advantage of the fact! I lovveee wearing glitter on my eyes, and just having fun with it, i'm thinking of doing it more often.. like every 3 or 4 months instead of 3 times a year :P

2. Christmas and New Years. I love Holidays, especially Christmas. I am so sad that its over :(

3. "Sinful Colors Professional" nail polishes that are at Walgreens. I frigg'n love these nail polishes! They are $1.99 and they work so well. I adore them.

4. Blizzards. I love blizzards, especially when they keep me from being able to drive to work! Hahahahaha!

5. Short nails. I'm loving my natural short nails. Although I do miss my acrylics. Oh well.

Outs

1. Not enough sleep. This definitely has to change, i'm getting more and more exhausted.

2. Heavy foundation. I love my MAC and Michael Korres foundations, but lately, i've just wanted something REALLY light.

3. Gurus who go on youtube and just "sell" things. At first I loved these gurus, but now they just sound like an advertisement, and you can tell they are just doing the video to get paid. It annoys me beyond all belief!

4. Dry skin. Ugh, this is driving me NUTS. Especially my legs, because I have normally dry skin on my legs, and during the winter it is even worse. :(

What are your ins and outs?

http://www.beautychoice.com/products/Enzo_Milano_Clipless_Cilindrico_Curling_Iron_3_4_Round_Black-11860-0.html

i use this as much as I can. it puts amazing waves in my hair, it can do tight and loose curls.. i just love it!

yes, i'm taking about the enzo milano clipless cilindrico culring iron 3/4" round

i HIGHLY recommend this product! i have medium length hair and this is just amazing!!!

I am going to post a video soon on how to do this, but if your looking for something new to do with your hair, then I recommend this!

Do you have one? If so, how do you like it? Would you consider buying one?

Milani Runway Eyeshadows

so i'm going to do a quick blog on some eyeshadows i recently discovered: Milani Runway Eyeshadows

So a couple things:

you have to wear a primer with them for them to 1. intensify their look and 2. to stay on your eyelids..cause otherwise they come off REALLY easily.

the colors are soft

they are very shimmery/glittery so if you don't like that and like more of a matte colored eyeshadow.. these are not for you

you can get them at drug stores such as CVS or Walgreens, but I got 12 for $40 on ebay

so i'll post a picture of all of them.

any questions please ask!!!

I did a video on these and a few other products.. so check me out on yoututbe too!

Review - Chi Volumizing Straightener

Hello bloggers!

So today I thought I would write a quick review on the Chi Volumizing Straightener. It is the 3/4" one.

I LOVE this straightener! It's so great.

I bought my straightener off of ebay, and got a great deal. Whenever you are looking to buy things offline, always check out a website like ebay.com to find great deals. Just make sure you completely read the description of the item before you decide to start bidding and buying.

So anyway, enough of e.b.a.y :P...

This is an awesome straightener. You can curl with it, straighten your hair, and it lifts your hair and gives great body. I definitely give this 2 thumbs up. It heats really fast too, so that's nice.

I have thick hair and so when I bought it I didn't know if the 3/4" would be so great for my hair, but its great. I don't have to go over and over the same strip of hair for it to really work.

You can also get this item at beautychoice.com which is another great site!

What do you guys think? Do you have a straightener you love?

First Video.. Yay!

So last night I made my first makeup video and i'm super excited. It's not like fantastic but I had fun with it. I will be doing many more. Tonight I will upload the video on here and some pictures.

Coming up will be a haul video, tutorial, and a review.. :) So be looking out!
