China Glaze in Rainstorm



If you saw my first post than you saw that I bought the China Glaze nail polish in Rainstorm. This color really stood out to me at Beauty Brands for some reason. Once I put this on last night I was very unpleased with the first coat I applied. It seemed runny and gross although I did shake up the bottle before using. After applying a second coat, the color looked better but it's definitely not something I'm going to be buying a second bottle of.

American Eagle




So I'm starting to pick up a few items for back-to-school since I start in a couple weeks and I bought this pair of jeggings and loose cardigan. I am excited to wear the cardigan in the fall since it's pretty light and fun to layer with cute tops and jewelry. I tried on the jeggings in the store and loved them! The fabric is so soft and comfortable and they feel like butter when you slip them on. I wanted to pick up a pair of these because I've seen them in every store I go to in the mall. I'll post up an outfit of the day wearing these two pieces in the posts to come!

Beauty Wishlist Tag



Beauty gurus on youtube have been doing this tag in their videos so I just though why don't I do it on my blog? I made a collage on polyvore of everything I would love to try so I'm going to start off with the Georgia Benefit boxed powder. It seems like everyone and their mother owns this haha! Everyone says it gives you a nice glow and works well as a setting powder so it seems like something worth giving a try. Next is the Purity facial cleanser from Philosophy. I already have this in a travel size so now I'm ready to buy it full size because it works amazingly! Nars Orgasm blush and Laguna bronzer would be great to have since anyone who owns either of these absolutely loves them. I've already tried benetint from Benefit which gives my cheeks a beautiful glow so that would be something worth buying full size. When I was watching QVC or HSN one day, I saw Lancome's Hypnose mascara and after seeing how long it makes your lashes I was basically saying "GIMME GIMME GIMME!" (: As for lip products, Rosebud salve supposedly smells and feels great on your lips so it's worth a try. Also, Huge Lips Skinny Hips have great lipglosses from what I've heard to so it would be fun to play around with those sometime too. The Nars lip gloss in Turkish Delight is something everyone raves so of course I need to try it! And finally, The Stay Don't Stray primer from Benefit works great as an eye primer which I've been looking for. So now that I've had my rant, what's on your beauty wishlist?

China Glaze buy one get one


I was with my grandma this morning and we stopped in the nearby beauty brands to look around and I saw that their china glaze nail polishes were buy one get one free! I knew I needed to pick up two so I bought pink voltage (neon) and rainstorm. Pink voltage is on my nails in the picture I took. It's a fun color to wear to the pool or for any day during the summer. Rainstorm was the other color that I bought which has little blue sparklies in it that I love (even though I haven't tried it out.)
I definitely think I'm going back there later this week to pick up a few more colors.
