My November 2012 Birchbox!

Over the weekend I received my Birchbox for November, and it was three days early.  I was super excited to get it, and worried I might not be so happy with it.  Boy was I wrong!  I loved this box, though minus one thing that made me go meh, but it's all good.  Hits and misses right?

So this month they were focused on the wonderful get your grub on Thanksgiving.  So who is ready to fill their belly up with delish food?  Oh not to mention SHOPPING!  I know I am haha.  But they are also supporting the Art of Elysium and you could check out the Birchbox site to see what items the celebrity supporters picked and buy it.  I love the little logo design above the Art Of Elysium.  It feels so welcoming for a child really.  

Nail Art & Acetone? Why not?!

So this week I used acetone (nail polish remover) to manipulate the nail polish upon my hands.  I finally got around to doing the acetone watercolor nails that I has been on my list for awhile now, and revisited my acid grunge nails as well.

If you are unsure what watercolor nails using nail polish remover is, you could watch a quick tutorial of it: CLICKIE

At first I knew I wanted to do acid grunge nails for sure, but I wasn't sure what colors to use for the watercolor ones.  I kept looking at my nail polishes switching back and forth.  I eventually came to terms and went "K neon polishes it is!"

Marbled away

My nails at the moment were one of those I got lazy and irritated.  I was suppose to do water marble nails and for some reason it just would not go the way I planned it.  The colors I picked would normally work nicely, but when I dipped in my finger it was just horrible!  Put it this way it combined to look grey...I have no clue!  I normally do water marbles fine, but that day was just terrible.  So I decided to just do a dry marble or some know it as a no-water marble.  It's where you basically use a needle/toothpick/etc and drag the nail polish around.  

And even at that I still was not happy with it.  I am being uber picky and lazy at the moment. 

Review: Wet n Wild ColorIcon Eyeshadow Collection - Drinking a Glass of Shine

Today I have a review to show you of Wet n Wild's ColorIcon Eyeshadow Collection in Drinking a Glass of Shine.  My Walgreens had finally put up limited edition palettes from Wet n Wild.

I decided to buy the re-released "I heart Matte" palette which has been re-named as "Drinking a Glass of Shine" since the shops around me never had them.  So I was happy to see this, and knew I had to buy it or I'll end up regretting it lol.

The palette comes with eight pans to achieve several different looks. I like how half of it is colorful while the other half is neutral.  A wonderful palette to bring along for a short trip.  It comes with a sponge tip applicator on one side, and the other side of the applicator has a brush.  I never use the applicators that come with palettes, so I could not give you a statement of how I feel on it.

Review: BornPrettyStore 11 Pieces Hello Kitty & Snow White Nail Art Water Decals

Today I have a wonderful product to show you from BornPrettyStore.  It is an eleven pieces Hello Kitty and Snow White nail art water decals.  

 

I loved how this had a nice variation of Hello Kitty, Snow White, and flowers.  Oh I almost forgot there is a chubby kitty I am assuming.  It looks more of a cookie jar sort. 

Review: NYC New York Color IndividualEyes Dark Shadows

Awhile ago I received a NYC New York Color IndividualEyes in Dark Shadow with my Influenster VoxBox.  I have honestly never used NYC New York Color eyeshadows at all.  It was something I would always pass up.  I am not even sure if I have seen their IndividualEyes line before.  If I ever look at NYC New York Color it was for their nail polish really.

Review: KKCenterHk N.Nail 6Pcs 11mm Red Flower

Today I get to show you these N. Nail 6 pieces of red flower nail art decoration, that are 11mm each.  These were from KKCenterHk, and they also carry many other items as well.  I decided to pick these because I am such a sucker for flowers on nails.
