Manic(ure) Monday

 'Merica Edition

Independce day was last Thursday and you KNOW I was all about that!!!



Here's the break down-
Thumb- One coat as a base of Wet n Wild Wild Shine in French White Creme and then Sinful Colors in Queen of Beauty (glitter).
Pointer- Wet n Wild Megalast in I Red a Good Book
Middle- Wet n Wild Wild Shine in French White Creme
Ring- Sinful Colors in Endless Blue
Pinky-Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear.  No name of the color.  It was just a mini bottle that came in a gift set.

I'm really in love with the Endless Blue.  It's so perfect!  There's nothing fancy about it besides the fact that it is undeniably blue as blue gets.  And the silver on my pinky is probably the most surprising thing.  In the bottle it doesn't look like it will be that good but it goes on great, dries smooth and quick and looks really solid even with just one coat.

June Ipsy and Birchbox

It's not June anymore but since it was still june when I started this post, I'm going with it.  Enjoy!!!

First off, I know I said I don't do brights before I said that the bright red blush would work good as a lip color.  In my head, I meant two different type brights.  STFU if you think it's the same...
SECOND- I KNOW THE VIDYA CUT OFF.  I ran out of room on my phone but it was almost perfect.

Reviews-
Davines Hair stuff-  Shampoo and Conditioner: I was unimpressed at first.  Looking back, I'm thinking it's alright.  I'm not going to spend my money on it but my hair was just a tid bit more manageable than usual.  I still haven't used the oil.
Suki Exfoliating Cleanser- Yes.  Just yes.  My face says "Yes!!!" when I'm done because it feels SO CLEAN! Like legit, no bullshit feelings on my face.  (pardon my swears)
Laqa Lil Lips- Cute.  Idk what else to say about these.  I haven't used it enough to say if it has lasting power or not but it feels conditioning and that's real nice.
Color Club Polish- You guys.  Stop right now and think of your fave summer color.  Now realize that you're wrong and buy this.
Nyx Cream Blush- Woah, color ovreload!   I still haven't had the courage to put it on my cheeks but I use it on my lips quite often.
Starlooks Lip Pencil- my reviews are in the video. I'm not even an amateur at lip pencils.  I'm less than that... I refuse to use them.
J Cats sparkling palette- I still DO NOT KNOW HOW/WHEN/WHY I will use this!  Stuff is weird, yo.  But! I feel like the time will come when I'm like "Oh, Thank Ipsy Gods, I need this shit!"
Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter Pencil- I love this!  I use it mainly around my eyes but I have ventured out a few times and highlighted my cheeks and cupids bow.   This is SUPER blendable and perfect.
Cailyn Cosemtics Gel Eyliner-  Ok, first off- how awesome is it that the brush is bulit in?! Supes Cool.  (supes was on purpose although I realize that "super" has the same number of letters.)   And the color is actually really nice.  Sometimes I feel like black eyeliner on my upper lash line is a bit dramatic.  It's probably because I don't wear it that often and so when I do, it's a big thing.  This color lets me wear a liner on the upper lash line without being dramatic.  AND in the sunlight, it has a green tint to it that matches my eyes SO GOOD!

That's it.  June was good, it got me stoked.
