Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs | Leg Makeup Review

Posted by Unknown Wednesday, May 14, 2014 0 comments

Hey guys!

Today I bring you a review of the Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs Lotion (Leg Makeup). This product is simply a makeup to hide imperfections on your legs and to make them look nearly flawless. It also gives your legs a nice glowing tan color. It really is beautiful. I bought mine in the medium shade because I felt that it would best suit my olive skin tone. It's actually a fairly dark shade so if your any lighter than me I would go for the lightest shade they have available.

The picture above is a leg with the leg makeup and without leg makeup. The photo on the left looks smoother, with a nice tan and looks amazing. (By the way, all these pictures are untouched. These are my legs and all their glory!)

When you squeeze this lotion into your hands, it looks really dark. I like to pour some into my hands, rub my hands together and quickly apply the lotion to your legs. It is easy to apply and you can definitely see where you apply the lotion. You shouldn't have a problem with streaking because you can see exactly where you've applied it on your skin.

Ok, so this is a pretty awkward picture but I wanted to show you the color and the glow the lotion gives you. The color looks pretty light in the picture because of the camera flash, but I think it still looks good. This makeup is also waterproof and is easily washed off with soap and water in the shower. I also noticed that this lotion didn't transfer onto my clothes. Awesome!

Overall, I feel that this is a great product if you want your legs to look flawless and smooth. It adds a great color to your legs and never felt sticky or like there was a gross residue. I really love this stuff. I would definitely give this stuff a try this summer if you are attending a wedding or really any occasion where you want your legs to look awesome. I'm almost tempted to get the lightest and the darkest shades to do a bit of highlighting and contouring with the lotions. This lotion retails for around $13-14. It's a bit pricey but I think it's worth it because the results are so nice.

Have you tried leg makeup? What are your thoughts?

So Polished: You Boho Believe It

Posted by Unknown Tuesday, May 6, 2014 0 comments

Helloooooooooo! *in a Seinfeld voice* ;P

While on my trip to NYC I picked up this nail polish from Duane Reade. If you don't know why I was in NYC, maybe you should check out my Instagram or FB :D You'll be super excited! lol I sure was. I may do a post about my trip soon. Anyways, I picked up this color and one other color that is more of a hot pink. I have that color on my toes. I have never heard of this brand but figured I'd give it a try because the colors were so gorgeous. I actually had 6 polishes in my hand at one point but ended up going with two. I didn't want to go overboard since I had never used this brand and I was also traveling back to Texas the next day. Overall, I REALLY like this polish! I'm kind of kicking myself in the butt for not getting more. Oh, well.

This color will change depending on what light you're in, but this is probably the truest to color. At times it can looks like a darker purple or even a deep red. Either way, I love it! It really pops and I've actually received several compliments on them.

I think this is the perfect color to wear for the Spring and Summer seasons, especially since the year's color is radiant orchid. It's kind of orchid, right?

What nail polishes have you been loving?

Hey guys!

It's been super hectic around here with school, which is to be expected since I'm getting close to finishing :) I wanted to do this tutorial because I really love the emerald trend for this fall. I love the richness of the color and wanted to incorporate it into a makeup look. In the pictures, and especially in the video, the main eyeshadow color I used looks more turquoise than emerald. I swear it's more emerald in person or I wouldn't have used that color in the first place. I posted (this) picture on Instagram a few days ago and it seemed like quite a few people liked it. I hope you do and I hope enjoy the video and get inspired!

Hey guys!
I was tagged by the sweet Kristen from Your Beauty Fix. Go check out her blog. She does great reviews!
Let's jump right into it!

1) What drink do you order at Starbucks?

I love fraps! I like the Chocolate Cookie Crumble, Mocha Cookie Crumble, Java Chip, and Caramel frappuccino.

Mmmmmmmmm

2) What's one thing in your closet you couldn't live without?
My blazers. I have one in almost every color.

3) What's one thing people don't know about you?
I've never jumped off a diving board.

4) What's one thing you want to do before you die?
Swim with dolphins and travel outside of the country (Paris, Australia, Japan...)

5) What's the one food you can't live without?
I have a HUGE sweet tooth (more like sweet teeth) I love anything sweet.

6) What's one quote you live by?
"Everything happens for a reason." I truly believe everything happens for a reason- whether it's good or bad. People come into your life for all reasons. Bad things happen so you can grow from them and become a stronger person.

7) What's one thing you like and dislike about the blogging community?
One thing I like about the blogging community is that I feel like I've built relationships with people who have the same interests as me. People who are just as freakin obsessed about lipstick, eyeshadow, nail polish, and clothes as I am. I love it.
One thing I don't like is spam comments. They're so annoying!

8) What's your number one song on iTunes?
Today, it's "We Can't Stop" by Miley Cyrus and "22" by T. Swift.

9) What kind of style would you describe yourself as having?

My style varies from day to day but I mainly like to dress "cute." Think dressy casual. If you check out Look Book board on my Pinterest or my pics on Instagram you will get an idea of what I typically wear.

10) What's your favorite number?
3

11) Two hobbies?
Doing/buying makeup and going shopping. That's pretty much my life. :)

12) Two pet peeves?
I CANNOT STAND when people smack their food loudly with their mouths open. Oh. My. Goodness... Seriously, it absolutely disgusts me. lol
I also can't stand when people drink bottled drinks with their lips wrapped around the entire opening, suck the drink out to the point where the plastic bottle sucks in, and when they release, the bottle pops out with a loud sound. UGH! (I know that was pretty specific but I've seen so many people do it lol)

13) Your guilty pleasure?
Lately, it's been Candy Crush on my iPhone.

Earlier this week-
Brandon: "Will you not play that game today?..."
Me: "What game?"
Brandon: "Candy Crush."
Me: "Why?"
Brandon: "I just want to see if you can go a whole day without playing it."

You know you're obsessed when your boyfriend asks you to not play Candy Crush and pay more attention to him. lol

The Questions:
1) What drink do you order at Starbucks?
2) What's one thing in your closet you couldn't live without?

3) What's one thing people don't know about you?

4) What's one thing you want to do before you die?

5) What's the one food you can't live without?

6) What's one quote you live by?

7) What's one thing you like and dislike about the blogging community?

8) What's your number one song on iTunes?

9) What kind of style would you describe yourself as having?
