Orly Epix Review

I struggle to find a nail polish that doesn't chip after a day or so, if it even lasts that long. But I think I have found it.

I do not like the fake nail trend. I like having my nails painted, but not interested in the gel nail polish trend that involves the UV light which I have heard is bad for you. 

I went into my local Sally's Beauty Supply and decided to try Orly Epix Flexible Color nail polish. $5-$7 each. This is a two step process, step 1, flexible nail color, apply two coats. Step 2, flexible seal coat. 

I have noticed this lasts 4-5 before it starts chipping, board wring on needing to be replaced. Fast dry time, and once it's good and dry you are reasonably good to go. I Highly recommend for a professional look at home that lasts most the way through the week. Granted I have a job that requires lots and lots of hand washing so the color May last longer for someone who doesn't need to wash hands so much.

Oil Diffuser Necklaces


I am obsessed with the idea of oil diffuser necklaces! It's like spraying your fave fragrance, and hanging it last all day. And it can be very calming depending on the scent you are using. Mine are a mix of gardenia and lavender. And lavender is supposed to be a very calming herb and scent. Love this! 💗
These vary in price from $8-$15 on etsy.com






Sephora Teint INFUSION Foundation Review

I am a HUGE Sephora fan! All my makeup is purchased there, (unless otherwise stated), I love the products they sell, as well as the Sephora brand makeup products. I have been using their medium coverage foundation (the product on the right) and I love it, but at times feels a bit too much. For a month or so I have been eyeing the Teint foundation from Sephora. Recently I bought it, and I LOVE it! Perfect for me. Most days I can get away with no foundation. So a light to medium coverage is more my style. This product is perfect. It's so light and allows my skin to breathe, it feels good and is very easy to apply, I love the applicator, allows so you do t get too much, but if you do, you can always save it for next time and put it back in the bottle. $22 at Sephora. 

Urban Decay NAKED Illuminator Review

I typically love putting shimmer on my eyes instead of shadow. It's less dramatic, and if there is one thing that I hate, it's seeing too much makeup on a person. This product is great because you can literally use it everywhere. Body or eyes. Alone, or over top of other makeup. It comes in two shades. Wonderful product if you are a huge shimmer or glitter fan like me! The second picture does NOT do the product proper justice. It's way more shimmery than the picture lets on!!! You can find this lovely product at Sephora. 

Urban Decay Naked 2 & 3 Review

I have been waiting for a long time for these two. I didn't LOVE the Original Naked Pallette enough to get it. But 2 & 3 are definitely worth it. 3 is definitely the one I would recommend most. It has a lot of Rose goldfish naked/nude shades. For someone like myself that generally wears a light shimmer on my eyes and no eyeshadow, this was a great transition to wearing eyeshadow as a professional woman. $50 from Sephora
