So...my 19 year old Daughter Jayme, who you will hear from on here occasionally, kept seeing these very cute cosmetic bags filled with beauty products that I was getting monthly.  She wanted her own and $10 is so little to spend on someone this age for beauty products, also...maybe I'd finally get to keep my cute little bags for once. This months bag was a vinyl, see through, hot pink, barrel shaped cosmetic bag.  I can see using this one in my purse for things I don't want to spill out and they will be easy to spot.   The first bag is mine and I was very pleasantly surprised at the products that I received in it.  The 2nd bag is Jayme's and she was happy with it also. L-R, Full-sized Nailtini Nail Lacquer in Mai Tai, 3 bh cosmetics eyeshadows from the California Collection, Pop Beauty Pouty Pop Crayon in Rose Romance and a nice sized sample of Coola Face Unscented Mineral Sunscreen.  L-R, Sample sized rose-tinted benetint from benefit cosmetics, 3 bh cosmetics ...

Press Sample Tonight, I have another new Milani Nail Lacquer Collection for you, the Retro Glam Collection.  It consists of 5 beautiful colors named after ice cream flavors and 1 glitter Jewel FX Special top coat.  I used 1 coat of topcoat in all swatches. Strawberry Shake is a light pink with a slight shimmer in it.  I used 2 coats in this swatch and it looked fine in person, but the camera really picked up where a 3rd coat would have helped. This polish was on the thinner side and easy to apply. Strawberry Shake with Sprinkles on top.  Sprinkles is a clear topcoat with large, medium and small black hexagons, medium and small white hexagons, very small black and white glitters and black bar glitters.  It is pretty easy to apply and only occasionally did I need to move any of the glitters around.  Raspberry Delight is a medium hot pink with a slight shimmer.  It went on very smooth with 2 coats to achieve opaqueness.  Raspberry Delight - accent fi...

Affiliate Link So....I accidentally made a mistake.  I didn't realized how the Wantable auto-ship program worked.  I went through and answered the questions again and ordered another box for August.  It's really not hard to understand or navigate their system, but if you know me....well...  Very pleasant mistake though.   Wantable was very quick to answer my email and even with my mistake, they reminded me of their easy return policy (see picture at bottom).  But after opening the box, who would have wanted to return it?  Not me!  This box contained 5 full-sized products and a generous sized sample. Product List, front to back, left to right: 1.  Michael Marcus Red Velvet Lip Liner - Retail $19 2.  Susan Posnick Color Eye Define Bronze/Copper - Retail $26 3.  Brazen Cosmetics Loose Brow Powder in Jane - Retail $18 4.  Michael Marcus Nail Polish in Geisha Girl - Retail $15 5.  Manna Kadar Bronze Beauty Self Tanning Lotion...

Press Sample Tonight, I have for you a beautiful collection from Milani.  It consists of 5 colors and 1 Jewel FX Specialty Lacquer.  The first is Scarlet Ibis, a coral cream that leans toward red.  I used 2 coats of polish and 1 of top coat. 866 Scarlet Ibis 866 Scarlet Ibis - accent nail topped with 924 Carnival Canary is a bright yellow with a tiny bit of shimmer in it.  I used 3 coats to achieve opaqueness which is normal with yellows.  It is topped with 1 coat of top coat.  This one was a little trickier to apply, it seemed a little thick but manageable. 867 Canary Below, I did a whole mani topped with 924 Carnival.  It is a beautiful topcoat that consists of medium black hexagons, large white hexagons and black bar glitter.  In some of the swatches I used one coat and it needed just a little bit of adjustment to spread the glitters out.  There were a few instances where I used 2 coats to get more of the glitters on the nail. 867 Canary -...
