Covergirl Blast Flipstick

 

This is a must have product to have in your makeup collection. There are so many color choices available so you can definitely find a shade that you will love. You can create different looks with just one flipstick since there are two lipsticks in one. It's also great to bring on the go too! Definitely recommended!!

Fashions For Less Salon Style Nail Strips

Fashions For Less Salon Style Nail Polish Strips

"Real Nail Polish Strips"

Fashions For Less "Hounds-Tooth" $3.00

•  12 real nail polish strips in 6 sizes
• Cuticle stick
• Nail file

"Hounds-Tooth" w/Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat

My Thoughts

•  Very affordable. Even with shipping costs these are so much cheaper than other brands.
• Easy to apply. They are very forgiving if you make a mistake in placement.
• Lasts up to a week. *I used a fast dry top coat as well, but that is not necessary.*
• Great for small or large nail beds.
• Usually with real nail polish strips there is a smell as soon as you open the package but not with these. No smell!
• No dry time. Just apply and you are ready to go.
• Depending on the size of your toenails you could also use these for toenails also! ;]
• Tips #1 If the nail strips are too big for your nails they can easily be cut away with the cuticle stick. My tip with that is to use the pointy side of the cuticle stick and rather than dragging it to cut away at the strip just create a lot of small dots on the side where there is too much of the strip hanging off until it is separated then peel off the excess.
• Tip #2 Make sure the nail polish strip is completely smoothed down before you start filing off the excess.
• Tip #3 File DOWNWARD. Not across.
• Tip #4 Make sure you CLEAN YOUR NAILS with polish remover before you apply these regardless if you have nail polish on your nails or not. This will remove any dirt or oil from your nails and your nail strips will last much longer.
• Tip #5 Wait at least 30-60 minutes after applying before you put your hands in water to avoid them coming off early or lifting.

I definitely recommend these nail strips from Fashions For Less!

imPRESS Press On Manicure

The imPRESS manicure is a great product for anyone who is in a rush to do their nails (working Mom's, etc.)!

So easy to apply, only takes a few minutes.

There are a variety of sizes to choose from in the package!

Just find your correct sizes, prep your nails with the prep pad, peel and stick.

Your manicure can last up to a week or more! Yes, even with doing dishes, laundry, household chores, etc.!

I have purchases many imPRESS manicure sets in the past as you can see from my previous blog posts but this one in particular I wore for 4th of July.

The removal process is so easy.

The directions say you can add a little bit of polish remover or acetone underneath if you are having trouble removing it. 

I didn't see that to be necessary.

I just peeled mine right off within seconds. 

Another good thing about this product is that it does not damage your natural nail!

Once you remove the nails your natural nail is still perfect. No glue residue!

The Many Uses of Ivory

www.ivory.com

I use the Ivory bar of soap for pedicures and for body cleansing.

The soap is a great value and leaves the skin feeling so soft.

A little bit goes a long way.

The Ivory bar of soap is great for sensitive skin.

Product Info:

Ivory Bar Soap

Free of dyes and heavy perfumes, Ivory provides a simple, yet effective clean for the entire family (without breaking the bank!).

Ivory bar soap is 99.44% pure (it floats!).  Beyond using it as a body cleanser, many of Ivory's loyal users – not to mention a few celebrities – swear by Ivory as their beauty secret. In fact, many consumers use Ivory bar soap as a facial cleanser.  It provides healthier, smoother and more even-looking skin. Also, its versatility makes it an effective laundry soap (just chip soap flakes into the washer) as well as a spot stain remover on your clothes (including delicate items). Ivory bars can even be used for a fun soap carving project with the family!  

When it comes to motherhood,  Ivory (the clean & simple soap) knows that being a mom has become more complex than ever, and that moms are looking for ways to simplify their lives. According to a survey of 1,000+ moms conducted by Wakefield Research on Ivory’s behalf in October 2011, 80% of American moms think motherhood is more complicated today than it was 20 years ago, despite the thousands of items supposedly designed to “simplify” their lives. But, while they may be more stressed out and busier than ever, almost 90% of moms think they’re doing a better job balancing it all than their mothers did. Some other interesting stats:

· 30% of moms surveyed found the most complicated aspect of motherhood was finding more "me" time, 66% confessed to hiding in their bathroom for some alone time.
· 75% feel the pressure to make every outing, playdate, or experience a "teachable moment," which can create great pressure

· 70% of moms feel they don’t have everything together, despite others thinking that they do.

As a result of these findings, Ivory created a Facebook community where everyday moms can share tips with one another on ways to simplify life for themselves and their families.   

Find your Ivory now at your nearest retailer, including stores such as Walmart and Target as well as any major grocery, dollar and drug store.  A 10-pack of Ivory bar soap retails for around  $4.49 (bath bar size).

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Anti-Chip Top Coat

www.sallyhansen.com

This polish claims to set any nail color within 30 seconds. It does work but for those stubborn nail polishes that smudge no matter how long you wait...they will still smudge. :/ I bought this at Walmart for $4. Not a bad price. I will repurchase.

Broadway Brush-On Gel Nail Kit

Broadway Brush-On Gel Nail Kit

02/29/2012

You can find this kit at Walmart, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Kmart, etc. Price range varies. First let me just say these  nails look great on camera but up close they don't look so hot. That is probably because it was my first time using the kit. I'm sure with practice they'll start looking better. There are a variety of sizes for small and large nail beds. After finding the correct sizes the process only took about 10-15 minutes. The dry time was not lengthy. A few nails were still sticky but they dried and it was fine.

Update: 03/02/2012 Some of the nails were cracking near the fill in part. The tips themselves were very secure. I did end up removing the nails though since they didn't look good. I still wouldn't give this a negative rating. It was only my first time using a kit like that. I would recommend this to a friend.

Venus & Olay Razor

I was skeptical about trying this razor because I've always used shaving cream but this turned out to be a really nice product. You don't need shaving cream AT ALL. The soap bars on the razor lather really well and you will have a nice smooth shave! The kit even came with a shower caddy to hang up your razor to let it air dry. I will definitely be purchasing this product again!

www.gillettevenus.com

Love Vox Box - Kiss Nail Dress (Bodysuit)

I done both my toes and finger nails with 1 package. I applied a top coat after applying them. I was very impressed by this product. They stuck on very well. They are secure and long wearing on both toes and finger nails. They aren't lifting at the tips at all like previous brands I've tried that have a similar product. Very affordable price for the convenience of a manicure/pedicure that will have no dry time. There are a variety of cute designs to use from. I will purchase this product again.

PRODUCT INFORMATION VIA KISS NAILS

Nail Dress is available in 18 different styles, many of them featuring 3-dimensional jeweled designs. Check out Peplum, a deep black with multi-colored gems for a pop of color, or Babydoll, for a golden and glamorous jeweled look. Skip the topcoat, Nail Dress has it built in.
 With 28 strips in each package, you can cut up your extras to create designs that can be used on top of polished or artificial nails.
