My Current Holiday Nails

Hello Everyone...I just wanted to show you guys my nails. It's nothing fancy but I still wanted you guys to see. I been debating what to do to my nails for my office xmas party. Well I purchased the nail polishes from Rite Aid and the brand I used was Julie G holiday collection by Jessie girl. I wanted my nail polish to not chip so I used the asp lightless gel nail kit from Sally's beauty supplies the kit cost me about $20.00 bucks. All in all it took me about and hour to finish. I did several coats of the gel and had to wait in between coats. Finally I applied the nail polishes and did about 2 to 3 coats and lastly I used quick drying top coat. I hope you guys liked it and let me know what you guys think.

Love,
Nikk

My 3-Step Winter Facial Routine.

My 3-Step Winter Routine

This is what I am currently using for my face the past few weeks. I have been trying to find a great match of different products because I don't know about you but I don't want to spend a small fortune on my facial products if the drugstore has just as good facial products as the high end stores. I been trying a few different products since starting school back you in September (I am on winter break...Needless to say I am one happy girl). Let's just say my face wasn't as smooth as it normally is but I wasn't a pizza face but I felt uncomfortable. So I mentioned it to my coworker and she said why don't you try the Neutrogena Acne Stress Toner with what you are already using so I been trying it and it has actually helped alot.

My morning routine is just about the same as my night routine.  I wet my face and lather up with the Ceptahil twice and then when I am done I pat dry my face with a small towel or my regular towel. Next I use a cotton round spread the toner only on my ance pron areas!!! please listen and take in account that if you decide to spread the toner your face is going to DRY OUT and FLAKE. Finally I take two pumps of my Clinique moisturizer massage it into my skin including my neck and that is my 3 step facial routine. I provided links to all the products I wrote about down below. Happy Holidays Everyone :)

• Cetaphil
• Neutrogena
• Clinique

First Look...Lorac Co-Stars Lip Gloss

Hello Everyone...This is my first look at Lorac's Co-Star's Lip Gloss I purchased this lip gloss at Hautelook.com in the beginning of December. I just applied it last night and had it on from 6pm to 10pm and when I say I kissed my hand and my son without transferring not one ounce of product to either my hand or my son...I am impressed!!! I went on a search to see if this product was sold at Sephora and sadly it is not I think this is a discontinued product, so I went on the Lorac website where they have only four colors but the good news is that it's on sale for $10.00. I am completely in love with this product I wish it had come in more colors. This product is definitely great for the holidays and all the parties you will be attending This was my small little take on this lip gloss I hope you guys like it and thank you for stopping by my page.



The color I have is:

Lorac Co-Star's Lip Gloss in Steamy Kiss (Red) 

Thanks Loves,

Urban Decay Vice Palette:: Up Close

Hello Beaut-a-ful People...I thought that would be a cheesy first few words to my lastest post to Urban Decay's Vice Palette. Well guys I caved in and went ahead and brought the infamous palette. I told myself not too but Sephora emailed me a gift card and it all went down hill from there...lol I ordered the  UD Vice Palette from Sephora.com after lusting over it like a teenage girl over a boy she can have in middle school but that's besides the point. I ordered it and got the order in less then a week...Hurray for Sephora's fast shipping. I have only used it once so far and I am looking forward to creating some looks with this palette. If you guys want to see swatches let me know not that you guys haven't seen the millions already posted on the internet already.

Well that's all folks,

Nikk

Storage For My EyeShadow Brushes

     Good Morning Everyone...Since I haven't been on here and been neglecting my duties as a blogger I wanted to come on here and just write something for you guys. I been giving this blogging and blog website some thought and that's why I took a break. I wanted to update my blog make the blog much more simpler and more inviting to you guys. Well I will try to post more and I am glad that the few followers I have haven't left me...Thank you!!! on to the fun part

     This is the way I store my eyeshadow brushes before they were in a glass vase out in the open collecting dust, so I decided with a few suggestions from instagram friends that I should place the brushes in here. I love the simple sleek look and that all my eye brushes fit in here nicely. This is just a little clip to how I store my brushes maybe if more people want to see how I store my makeup and what storage I use I will post it up. Thank you taking a small part of your day to visit me have a beautiful day.

Love,
Nikk

LA Girl Dark Light Nail Polish

Revlon Matte Lipstick in Stormy

H&M

Hello Everyone I just wanted to share what I purchased in the beginning of June. I can already say that I dislike the waterproof mascara for my top lashes so I use them only for my bottom lashes. The duo fiber brush is amazing I love it for cream blush. The Revlon Matte lipstick in Storm is ok it doesn't have enough pigmentation for me. The H&M bag is my current bag and I have used it every single day since I purchased it. The other products I haven't used them yet. I will post something as soon as I do. Enjoy your day everyone see you guys soon.

Baby...I feel Blue

Hi Loves...I created this simple blue look with Sinful Colors Nail Polish in Why Not and Wet and Wild's Nail Polish in Blue Wants To Be A Millionaire. I am not a blue girl but this blue was so beautiful that I had to purchase both nail polishes. I would say the Sinful Colors nail polish in Why Not is leaning on the teal color side which I prefer instead of the more greener blues that are sold. The polish lasted about four days which is about average considering what I do for a living and taking care of my house. I just wanted to share the look with you guys and I hope you guys like it... Sorry about the quality of the pictures I took them with my Iphone instead of my camera.

My Watch and Bracelet Holder

Good Morning Guys...I wanted to share my watch and bracelet holder I purchased at Ross last month. I was looking for something like this for a while. I am not a big online shopper, so when I saw this at Ross I got it right away and boy I am happy I did. This is such a great way to store and display your items. Before I had things in bags and in storage boxes and I couldn't see what I had. It was $14.99 at Ross I don't know if all of the Ross are still carrying it or it was only in my area but I have seen these on Ebay and Amazon for around $10.00 dollars. So here is a look at how I store my accessories and let me know how you storage your accessories...I would love to know!!!

Love,

Nikk

P.S. A lot of the accessories were purchased at Forever21, H&M, Macy's, Rue 21.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain

Hello Everyone... I wanted to come on here and let you guys know about this product I purchased a few days ago and been using it ever since. It is definitely a balm and definitely did give my lips a stain.

Color payoff: The color is like a sheer stain on your lips not opaque at all.

Texture: Is smooth and creamy not drying at all and lightweight.

Packaging: Is great for being drugstore quality

Lasting Power: If you are looking for long lasting this is not the product for you.

Smell: Is like a hint of mint and vanilla (that's what I smelled)

Travel: This product is great for the upcoming traveling months 

Formulation: Is a gel based formula and not like a lip gloss or a lipstick.

Revlon Just Bitten kissable balm stain: In honey
