Product Review: Kiss Artificial Nails

Image
Hi everyone! Today I'm coming to you with a product review for Kiss Gel Fantasy Artificial Nails. I am not someone who just needs to have their nails done all the time: I spend 99% of my time with bare nails. Manicures are expensive and my hands shake way too much to paint them myself. But I recently had a trauma to my nails that I had to cover up. I'm not sure how it happened, but I woke up one morning with one nail on each hand that had peeled up from the cuticle. I have had them peel before, but always from the tip, never from the cuticle. I would show you photos, but they were pretty gross. So I picked up these bad boys from the drugstore and gave them a shot. Here are my thoughts. Pros: They cost less than $10 , and are sometimes on sale BOGO 50% off. The nails are one solid color all the way through. Many artificial nails are white plastic that is polished on top. This is important because I have a tough time with artificial nails to begin with (they feel so ...

Tutorial Tuesday: Gilded Goddess

Gilded Goddess Hello, loves! Since tomorrow is Valentine's Day I thought I'd bring you a gorgeous date night look. This look is perfect for when you know you’re headed somewhere with candlelight or dim lighting.   It makes the shimmery metallic finish of the eyeshadows glow ever so slightly without being too bright and glittery.  1. I first used Avon’s Skinvincible Day Cream to moisturize my skin. I very rarely need a primer, especially at this time of year. 2. I then used Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in Classic Ivory to even out my skin tone. 3. I covered my under eye circles with NYX Dark Circle Concealer in Light.   I also had a tiny breakout which I covered with Revlon’s PhotoReady Concealer in Light. 4. I used Avon’s True Color Blush in Earthen Rose on my cheekbones to give my face a little lift. I also used a tiny bit on my temples (like you would use bronzer).

Tutorial Tuesday: Cozy Chic

Cozy Chic Playing in the snow, sitting by the fire, drinking hot chocolate… ah, sounds like winter in New England! Evened-out skin, flushed cheeks, and no liner gives off a cozy vibe, and reminds me of all the fun things we get to do in winter (I know, I know, shoveling sucks, that’s why I said the FUN stuff). I’ve listed the products I’ve used below and where to find them. (Taken without Flash) (Taken with Flash) 1. I first used Avon’s Skinvincible Day Lotion to moisturize my skin (it has SPF 50, so as you can tell from my skin tone, I appreciate that.) 2. I then used Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation in Classic Ivory (I honestly like the Avon Flawless foundation, but I have trouble finding my particular skin tone in ANY brand of foundation.) You can find this at the drugstore. I got mine at Walgreens. 3. I covered my under eye circles (thanks, kid) with NYX Dark Circle Concealer in Light . This is also a drugstore product....
