.:: China Glaze Haunting Crackle ::.

 Alright so we all know  Autumn is here and sooner than you know it  will be Halloween. How these seasons fly by... Here I have a China Glaze Haunting Crackle set that I purchased at my local Sally's Beauty Supply for about $12. 

Here is what it comes with:

It's Alive

Such a unique green! 

A light army green with a bit of large and small glitter particles

Cross Iron 360

This to me looks like a basic "Orange" polish, but very pretty in it's own way!

Black Mesh

This is just the basic Black Crackle

Ghoulish Glow

Glow in the Dark Polish

Overall this set is a good variety of a little bit of everything Halloween-ish! =) You are getting each polish for $3 which is a great deal! If you are a Polish Collecter this is a MUST!=)

.:: Bath&Body Works Sweetest Home Fragrance Event ::.

Hey Everyone!! I'm finally back! =) I have been so busy lately just could not find the time to do my blogging...=(

So here I am and today I will be sharing some Items I got for FREE from the Bath&Body Works Event that  went on last week September 17,2011 from 1-3 pm. The deal was you purchase anything from the Home Fragrance and you receive a free tote bag that came with 3 mini candles in Candied Sugar Plum, Marshmallow Peppermint, and Gingerbread. All I have to say about all of these scents is OMG! I can't wait until them launch in stores!!!

Here is the Tote Bag

Candied Sugar Plum

Marshmallow Peppermint

Gingerbread

These all smell so YUMMY!!!! =) Slatkin & Co  has to be my current favorite brand for candles ever since Illuminations got bought out! Waiting for the weather to cool down so I can start burning my candles.=) 

Do you guys have any favorite candle brands out there that you would like to share?!

.:: Stila Naturaleyes Eye Shadow Palette ::.

I have been doing a lot of hauling lately... Here I have the Stila Naturaleyes Eye Shadow Palette. I noticed a lot of companies have been coming out with neutral color eye shadow palettes. This Stila palette was one I was really excited to get because I do not own any of Stila's Eye Shadow products. I heard a lot of good reviews about this 

online and also from the MA's at Sephora.

Stila Naturaleyes Eye Shadow Palette

It also comes with a step by step look book with several different looks you can learn from... Tips and more!!

Front cover of the palette...

These shadows work perfect for any skin tone and can be used wet or dry! =)

Contains 10 Natural Eye Shadow Shades ( Including the best selling shade in Kitten) Also the limited-edition Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner.

It has the names of the colors on the back of the palette as well as the back of the packaging...

Left to right: Top- Bare, Kitten, Bliss, Sunset, Sandstone

Bottom- Champagne, Gilded old, Luster, Night Sky, Ebony

The swatches  along with the Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Damsel ( Matte Chocolate Brown)

Just from the swatches of this palette I am LOVING it! Like I said I have never tried any of Stila's Eye Shadow products so this is first for me! Can't wait to use them. You can also purchase this at Sephora for $39.00!

Thank You all again and see you in my next post!!

.:: Hello Kitty Graffiti Bag ::.

So Sephora recently came out with a new Hello Kitty Collection called the Graffiti. This line has of course the Graffiti Eyeshadow and Blush Palette, Makeup Bag, 5-Piece Brush Set, Rollergirl, and Compact Mirror. I did not purchase the whole collection but did choose one item I thought was different and worth getting...

Hello Kitty Graffiti Makeup Bag

Here it was it looks like up close...

   The Hello Kitty Charm is so CUTE!!

The Hello Kitty Charm up close...

Fairly large zipper opening...

In the inner part of the bag it has a silver Hello Kitty logo stitched on...

Here is a look at from a side angle to see the width of the makeup bag...

 The faux leather material features a tarnished silver finish with a graffiti design. The interior is lined with cotton fabric. Each product has its own one-of-a-kind graffiti artwork, making it special and unique.

This can be purchased at Sephora for $28.00!

.:: Finger Sweets Nail Products ::.

Hope you all are doing well?! Today I have a review/ first impression on Finger Sweets Nail Products. These products were sent to me as a review. For a while now I have been wanting to try out the Sally Hansen Salon Effects Polish Strips, but every time I go into my local drugstore they are always sold out of the cheetah print design. So I was excited to have the chance to try out the Finger Sweets version. Here she sent me...

Checkered Nail Polish Sticker

Checkered print up close and also comes with a miniature nail file

Wet Top Coat

Pop Star Pink #6 Nail Polish

Also received the Cheetah Nail Polish Sticker

Up Close... Not perfect, but was my first try!

To be honest, these were a bit of work for me to put on. I have never tried any type of sticker polish so these were my first to try. There's a lot of prep time before actually applying the sicker on the nail bed. Now I have never used the Sally Hansen Nail Effects so I can not do a comparison towards the two so this is IMO.  The stickers itself were a lot thinner than I thought and noticed a lot of ripping when peeling off the sticker. Directions do say to handle gently and be careful not to rip the sticker. The sticker does have directions on the back of the packaging and also you may visit the website http://www.myfingersweets.com/nail-art-shop/category/nail-stickertattoo/  to watch a video of how to apply these. I found that I did not have to use the miniature nail file that it came  with. When sealing the sticker on the nail bed you would use the Wet Top Coat by Finger sweets  to seal it and the polish strip literally breaks s off on it's own so that was a plus. You again have to be very careful when sweeping it across because you may sweep off the actual sticker print and it will leave white flakes as well as empty nail polish spots. All in all I am really stoked about these polish strips still getting the hang of applying them if only nail polish companies came out with an actual cheetah polish effect... =D

Other than that the Nail Polish itself  is great! The pigmentation on Pop Star Pink  is very opaque on one swipe. Although I was only sent one color I can not speak on the rest of the nail colors they have available. I love the packaging of the nail polish bottles they are tall and sleek. The brush wand is nice and long which I love for easy application. The Wet Top Coat is just a clear coat which I have to say dried fairly fast which is a good sign! =) 

Take a few minutes to check Finger Sweets website http://www.myfingersweets.com/nail-art-shop/category/nail-stickertattoo/ and check out the rest of the products they have.

Thanks again for taking the time to check this review out and I will talk to you all soon in another post!!
