Twinsie Tuesday: Astrological Sign

My apologies for the tardiness and absence. Hopefully you enjoy this!

Color Club Age of Aquarius. Calling out you February babies! This is actually turning up really blue, but it's actually more green and minty. I'm not sure why it's so hard to capture the true color but it is really a gorgeous color - perfect for Spring but I'm wearing right now anyways. So who cares!

AoA applied sort of patchy but covered perfectly in 3 coats. And I have to say, this baby was worth it!

What's your sign?

Twinsie Tuesday: Teenage-younger Polish

This is a polish that was gifted to me from ChiChi, a fellow Twinsie. And I have to say that I really enjoyed this polish! It's definitely a lot younger but it's different and fun!

This polish was one of thee worst polishes I have ever had to photo. I don't know why but green polishes just doesn't sit well with me.

This is Color Club Glitter Envy. It's a like a neon jelly green with small holo hex glitters throughout. I would never wear this on a day to day basis but I think that this is definitely something that I would've worn when I was much younger (considering, I'm still pretty young).

Something totally random, but when I was pregnant, looking at glitter polishes made me want to puke. Strange right? Because I absolutely love and adore glitter polishes now!

So what's one of your "younger" type of polishes?

Sky High

Hello Friday!

Did anyone order any polishes from Pretty & Polished yesterday? Unfortunately I missed both. BOO! It's ok. I must save up for the China Glaze Bohemian collection that's suppose to be coming out sometime this month. So much for "No Buy July".

In the mean time, this is what I have for you today!

This little baby right here was so hard to photograph!!! I hate those kinds of polishes that just do not come out correctly in the pictures. They are a pain!

Ok, you see the third picture, that's exactly what it looks like in real life on the nails. Isn't that just gorgeous?! In the 2 photos above, you think it looks like just another plain metallic-foil'ish blue. But no, no it's not! This is truly a gem.

Color Club Sky High was perfectly opaque in 2 coats. The formula was smooth and perfect. I also picked up another bottle from this collection. Hopefully it's just as beautiful.

Have you picked up or want to pick up any of these from the Take Wing collection?

May Gossip Girl Birchbox

I finally received my first Birchbox. I was super excited when I was on the waiting list. And now here it is!

For those of you who don't know what a Birchbox is, it is monthly beauty box subscription for $10 a month and "every month Birchbox members will receive a curated box of luxe beauty samples. Each box will span beauty categories and deliver exciting products that fit into both your day-to-day routine, and into those days when you want to turn up the drama a notch."

Now, what I received in my box:

 Dr. Jart + Waterfuse BB Cream
This is a 4-in-1 moisturizer, serum, sunscreen and skin-perfecting tint.

Stila Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner in Curacao

Pearly shimmer almost glitter like liquid eyeliner in a pen-like wand package.

 Color Club in Disco Nap

This a a gold metallic finish

Keratase Cristalliste
A sample serum that claims to smooth out dry stands and add gorgeous shine.
It also came with a sample perfume which I forgot to picture.

Overall, I'm not too impressed considering that the May Birchbox was Gossip Girl inspired. I think some of the products are nice but definitely not for me. I don't really like to use liquid eyeliner, not to mention glitter with it! Also, it's really hard for me to use perfume because I'm really sensitive to scents. The Color Club mini was cute, although I wish I had gotten a more unique color. Other than that, the packaging was cute and functional.

Have you ordered your first Birchbox? What do you think of them?

Polish Haul!

Gotta LOVE hauls! Who doesn't? Except the fact that your pocket has a tiny hole. If you know what I mean. However, I finally bought my first 2 Color Club polishes and I am super excited to try them out! In the mean, look out for swatches!

Yay, do you like hauls?
