A Fresh Coat of Polish: China Glaze So Blue With Out You......

Hey Everyone!!

I hope your Christmas was good.:)

I wore China Glaze So Blue With Out You for Christmas as my Christmas mani. This color is from China Glaze's 2013 Holiday collection....oh, and up until last Thursday, I have never worn it. Yep, brand new polish, sitting up in my collection. 

Gotta love it! #shopyourstashtoday

 Two coats of this polish produced a brilliant metallic blue. I love it!! It's wearing well too, just a bit of tip wear on both hands....

Walmart Winter 2014 Beauty Box Unboxing!

Hey Everyone!!

I wanted to quickly put up this post on the Winter 2014 Walmart Beauty Box I received on Saturday.

This is my 2nd Beauty Box from Walmart and I believe they come out quarterly. You can see what I got in the 1st box HERE. It is a subscription, so if you sign up, your signing for a subscription of boxes and not just a one time only box. I found this out when my Paypal was hit for $5 from Walmart out of no where.

 Same box as the 1st box. It comes via USPS.

 I guess these are the big samples: Ponds Wet Cleansing Wipes, Pond's Anti Wrinkle Cream, Aveeno Daily Moisturizer, Olay Tone Perfecting Cream. BTW: These boxes are based on the age your put in your profile when you sign up.

Some hair and skin card samples from L'Oreal, John Freida and Nivea.

It's definitely worth $5. Seriously, it's a box of junky samples. None of this stuff I'm remotely interested in. I'm cancelling the subscription.

If you want to sign up, here's the link..... www.beautybox.walmart.com  ( watch the birthday you put in.....it could be the difference between something cool and wrinkle cream.)

Did you sub to this box? What did you get in yours??? Let me know in the comments!

Quick! What Should I Buy? Holiday Gift Guide 2014: The Girl Talk Chronicles E-Book on Amazon.com!

Hey Everyone!!

I have a great gift suggestion for my book lovers, collectors and tablet readers. The Girl Talk Chronicles: Advice on How To Manage Love, Lust, & Situations is a great gift and nice quick read for the 20-something in your life that is struggling with love and life. Or that 40-something that's still stuck in her 20-something ways and wondering why things haven't changed in love in a two decades. Both ladies could use this e-book sent directly to their Kindle or Kindle App! Check out what the author, Ariel C. Williams says about her book:

Chronicles was written to dispel the myth of being 'single and lonely' by sharing real life experiences of relationships (and situationships) gone wrong! It's hilarious, relatable, and penetrates your conscious in a way that makes you unapologetically put you first. It's laced with Girl Talk Gospels, Lessons Learned & Chronicle Questions that have been said to make one "reevaluate" their actions when it comes to love. You can find this book in the self-help section, but still be able to read aloud with your girlfriends on a comfy couch. The best part is that it's $2.99 for a limited time and can be downloaded to the device of your choice in 60 seconds! 


I agree totally with Ariel, it was a fun read, filled with the stories, I could totally relate to, especially in my 20s, pre-kids.

Slide through and download your book to your Kindle or your Kindle App HERE for ONLY $2.99. Then, send all your girlfriends one and plus that 40 year old co-worker.:) All the girls deserve a piece of the Chronicles!

Disclosure: I was not compensated for the review and received a loaned copy of the book to read. All opinions are my own and honest.

Review & Swatches: Colour Pop Cosmetics Lippie Stix......

Disclosure: I purchase all these items on my own.

Hey Everyone!!

I placed an order with Colour Pop Cosmetics on Thanksgiving. After watching a zillion hauls and swatches on the brand and I wasn't impressed. It wasn't until I saw a IG photo of vlogger/blogger Ellarie wearing the shade Ellarie, I was sold. 

 I picked only four colours of the Lippie Stix, just to feel them out: Grind, Dalia, Ellarie, and Brink.

 Grind, Dalia, Ellarie, and Brink

Top Row: Ellarie and Dalia

Bottom Row: Grind and Brink

Review!!

Quality- great coverage, one layer of color did the trick, they go on like a satin lipstick but have a dry down quality that turns them matte. They last ok, not through eating and drinking though, but I didn't expect them to.

Color- I love all the colors except Brink. It just doesn't flatter my complexion. Grind is a MAC Heroine dupe.  Check it out below.....

Left: MAC Heroine  Right: Colour Pop Grind. Grind maybe slightly darker but you be the judge.

Overall:

I will be getting a couple (3 or 4 more colors) and the next order will be some their shadows to try too!

OHHH!!! I FORGOT TO TELL YOU!!

My shipping took about a week in a half, about 6 business days. I did order on Thanksgiving night. I also wasn't sent a shipping notice for 4 business days. So, be mindful if you order, your goodies may not come as fast because of the popularity of the brand now and the holidays. I was told that by a CS agent from Colour Pop in a email. :)
