May BeautyBar box

Here is my May BeautyBar box. I love that BB comes with a little looks book from Allure to go with products sent. There are some good ideas from the book. As with most sample subscription boxes, I got stuff I am excited to use and others that won't get used at all. At least I am happy with most of this one.

Ipsy - May '13 edition

I got my May Ipsy bag and happy as usual. I gotta say that Ipsy is definitely worth the $10/month. I haven't been disappointed in a long time. Actually, I haven't been disappointed with Ipsy at all.

Gei Gei's Indigo

I got my Ipsy bag a few days ago and it had a Zoya polish from their Spring collection. Now, I didn't receive this pink polish, I got the purple one. I was going to use purple at first but changed my mind. I am silly like that. Now I have been struggling with migraines lately which has affected my polish changes and blog posts. Sorry about that. 

10 Dollar Mall

Have you guys heard of 10 Dollar Mall? I am now addicted to it. Everything is less than $10 and they have some cute stuff. I have bought clothes, shoes, nail polish, makeup, earrings, and hair clips. There is a bunch of cute items at a bargain. I like to go thrift shopping and a lot of this stuff is cheaper than Goodwill and it's new. The shipping isn't bad either.

I bought these really cute boots by JustFab for $9.99. They fit perfectly and I am a bigger girl. I can't wait to wear them out. I still can't believe I got them for such a cheap price.

I have an invite link that you can use. I think it gives me $10 for everyone that spends more than $10. If it works, than cool. If not, well I just shared a cool place to shop.

On a side note, I had to return one item that was defective and had no issues. They sent me the RMA without asking questions. They have a 365 day return policy.

Picasa problem

Is it just me or is Picasa messed up? The last few days I have tried to upload and edit pictures, it degrades the quality by a bunch and shows up funny in Picasa. I have stuff to post and don't want to post bad looking pics. My post yesterday had pics I uploaded about 4 days ago and they look great.

NCC Stamping #2 - Stamped Solitaire

Well I've done it now. I really like the OPI textured polishes and have bought a few now. This one is from the Bond Girls collection and probably my favorite one so far. I thought it would be cool to try out a stamp with it. I think it stamped well even though I missed a small spot on my thumb.

Itty, Bitty & Crackled

First off, I apologize for my cuticle area. I don't know what happened but they got very dry and cracked. I know it has been dry and sunny but I do use cuticle oil/cream and hand lotion everyday. I decided to actually try out one of the China Glaze Texture polishes. I bought Itty, Bitty & Gritty because it was so bright and pretty. 

NCC Stamping #1 - Inky flowers

So I decided to review the MASH Silver Glitter stamping polish for my first look this month. I knew it would look good over a dark color so I chose to use OCC Inky which is a really pretty dark blue. I had to make some adjustments which is why I have a pretty gradient look going on.

MASH silver glitter stamping polish

I have another MASH product to show you. I received a Silver Glitter stamping polish to try out. I was curious how well this would stamp since I have never had any success with other glitter polishes. I also decided to use the Mash-45 plate.

Chalkboard Nails and more MASH product reviews

Almost all of the chalkboard manis have a black background but the chalkboards were always green when I went to school. I found the perfect chalkboard green polish and thought I would take a stab at it. It gave me the best reason to review MASH Matte Top Coat and Nail Art Pen.
