Fashion Quickies! Tropical Leaf Romper and Fringe Kimono Cardigan.....

Thursday, May 14, 2015

Hey Everyone!!!


I popped in one of my favorite stores, Cato to troll the clearance racks( and to see if this cardigan I want has been marked down....) and found two great on trend pieces. I wear 18-20 and Cato is an AMAZING store for plus size girls, big feet girls, wide feet girls...lol! Even with my very paired down style and love of neutrals, I still find goodies in there. Especially shoes!

Anyway, I decided to try on this Tropical Leaf Romper in 18W-20W. It's cute and comfy! It was marked down to only $14.99.




The romper is also online HERE.



I've been wanting one of those Kimono Cardigans but they look like mini night robes on me. I tried on this one and it was $10.99 but I passed because it looks like a ROBE. LOL! 


Look at Ms. Thang here...looks good on her.... Hmmpt. Buy it HERE. :)


Are you feeling Rompers and Kimonos for the Spring and Summer!?!? Let me know!

Covergirl Outlast Nail Gloss in Tickled Pink....


Hey Everyone!

I wore Covergirl Outlast Nail Gloss in Tickled Pink on my hands and toes for Mother's Day.

The formula goes on pretty pigmented and dries super glossy. My toes are holding up well but the polish on my hands lasted only...ONE DAY.

Oh well. Another day of my polish chipping.



L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Eyeshadow in So Over It! Review.....

Tuesday, May 05, 2015

Hey Everyone!!

This L'Oreal Colour Riche Palette in So Over It! is one of my $1 Goodwill finds. It was still sealed when I purchased it with a Target clearance sticker on it.



 I watched EmilyNoel83 on YouTube do a review of the new L'Oreal 12 color palettes and she mentioned that these quads and those new palettes have the same texture and quality.
 That was a sigh of relief because So Over It! swatched really well. Plus, I want both of the new L'Oreal 12 shade palettes.


 The shadows are beautiful. I was pleasantly surprised because I've never been a fan of L'Oreal shadows.



 Do you own any of the L'Oreal Colour Riche quads? Which ones? Let me know!


Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in Dig Fig and Hydro Electric Review.....

Monday, May 04, 2015

Hey Everybody!!

If you follow me on Instagram, You know I scored a Sally Hansen Miracle Gel set at an awesome price from CVS. I've been wanting try this polish forever! So let's get into this review!



I purchased the set from CVS. In this set,the Gel Top Coat and the Gel Color in  Dig Fig was included.

I applied one coat of Dig Fig and one coat of the Gel Top Coat.


This is the wear on my left hand after two days. My right hand was worse. 

Then I found a clearance Gel Color in Hydro Electric in Target for $5.58. I used a $2 off coupon that is found inside of the Dig Fig Gel Color Kit's box and got it for $3.58. The Gel Color alone ranges up to $9.99. I haven't seen any where cheaper than $10.
This is Day One.
This is Day Two
This is Day Three. After three days, both hands were a chipped mess.

With Hydro Electric, I applied two coats of Gel Color and two coats of Gel Top Coat.


I gave both polishes the run around. That means, I wore no gloves while washing dishes or cleaning, applied no extra top coats or no extra touched ups.

The Gel Top Coat is fast drying. 
( I tried the Gel Top Coat on top of a regular polish and it didn't make the polish last any longer than usual)


Overall.....

I wasn't disappointed because I was kind of expecting this kit not to work. Most of these drugstore gel coat kits that don't require any heat lamp don't last well on my nails. I've tried several including a DIY hack from Pinterest with no luck. I did like that the Gel Top Coat was fast drying. The color Hydro Electric lasted longer than Dig Fig. The Gel Colors I had were also very opaque but neither had any lasting power no more than a regular polish.

Well, after alllllllll of these drugstore/DIY gel color kits, I'm finally going to go for the gusto, a salon Shellac Gel Color. Stay tuned for that episode!!!


Have you tried any drugstore or salon Gel colors? What are your favorites? Let me know!
