February Crave Box

In December, I signed up for another sample service called Crave Box.

It is $10 a month, and everyone gets the same thing. none of this filling out a beauty survey and hope you answer correctly to get cool stuff. This is random stuff, treats, stuff for your home, beauty...It's very neat! I have really liked every one I have gotten.

My first one came in December. I was pleased with it. It had Swiss chocolate in it (so that was a winner in and of itself.), lotion, pens, more chocolate, and a Nic's Sticks in hot pink!

January I got a bottle of EVOO. (strange, I know, but hey, it came in handy when I ran out), Emergen-C vitamin drink mix (a full box, again, came in handy I always drink it when I feel a cold coming on.), facial toning gel, an issue of Prevention Magazine, and a pedometer.

This month I started taking pictures because I am pretty sure I am going to keep this service.

List and pictures of items. Six, count them SIX permanent markers, Downy wrinkle releaser, 2 granola bars, vitamin boost energy drink mix, facial moisturizer, and a cleansing foam.

Here is the box as it came.

The Moisture Bound Skin Energy Hydration Delivery System is sooo great. It smells divine, and feels wonderful on my face! I haven't tried the cleanser yet. I'm a little skiddish about trying new cleansers.

Ahhh, wrinkle releaser! How'd they know? It is Light Fresh Scent. It reminds me of those air freshners that are fresh linen or clean cotton. it's nice.

I've been saving these, I think one shall get eaten tonight. It says "Think Thin" but they are pretty high in calories. One is 190, and the other is 230.

I love this service. it's not only make up, but things you can really use. I'm impressed so far, CraveBox, keep it up!!!

Give them a try! CraveBox or look them up on facebook!!!

Stampy Sunday 2/26 edition!

Hello, welcome to Stampy Sunday!

This edition was so much fun!!! I LOVE this, and will probably redo it many times!

First off, lets see the base coat. I was in the mood to use some under used polishes I have. I went for my Catrices! Look at this. How GORGEOUS of a color is this? It is After 8. It's just so beautiful.

Ok, on to the Challenge. The theme this week was to use 3 colors for the entire manicure. Here it is. Catrice After 8, and I'm A Star..., stamped with m63 and Color Club Antiquated.

Thanks for reading!!!

This is Lavender Cloud with Revlon Powder Puff over it. Stamped with BM212 and Sally Hansen Commander in Chic, Mochachino, Color Club Wildchild, and Orly Veridian Vinyl!

I love layering, it gives such a neat look!

Watercolor Tutorial!!!

So I've done a watercolor before. I got so many compliments on it I have done it 3 times since. Then I was asked to do a tutorial. So...Here it is. This is going to be a little wierd, but yeah...It's pretty easy!

First off, materials. You will need:
nails painted a base coat (I used Lavender Cloud)
a thick fast drying top coat (Seche)
as many colors as you want to watercolor (I used Kelly, Ibiza, and Tru)
a quarter inch paint brush (Or, the brush you use to clean up your mani)
Acetone

I know I have Dove pictured above, but I tried it with Dove and it was too light, I went with Kelly.

so a small dot of polish, take your art brush dip it in acetone, and with a light touch (as to not go through the seche, which I did a couple of times) move it around, make a design. Repeat with other colors.

Pretty easy, huh?

Here, watch this video. There is no loud goofy music, I'm not even talking in it. you can just see what it looks like. I know it's blurry. If I ever do another one I will try to do it better.

This is the finished product.

Try this!! It is incredibly easy!

Stampy Sunday 2/19 edition

A plate ending in the #3 hrmmm, I thought of this one a while back, but never did it. I'm disappointed in it, I mean it turned out ok and all, but I'm rather "meh" about it. :( So here is OMG, origianlly I was going to stamp with KleanColor Metallic Black (which you can see on my pinky) but it was VERY difficult to work with, so I switched to Revvvolution plate bm203 and Posh plate bm03. A TWO-FER!!!

I know I didn't line it up exactly, and I probably should have just done a french tip. oh well. next time, maybe! :) Thanks for reading!!

Tire Tracks

Ok, so not really, but this stamp reminds me of tire tracks. This is Zoya Tru. stamped with Cheeky 05 and Dove and KleanColors Metallic Aqua
