Hey guys!
I was going to try and have this post up on Saturday, but for some reason I couldn’t download the pictures from my camera to my laptop. I got a new camera for Christmas and I love it so much, but now my poor laptop can’t keep up. It’s starting to really slow down and crash easily, so I need to get a new one but I really don’t know what kind I want…it’s such a hard decision!
Anyway! Today I’ll be reviewing The Foil Look nail polish from Formula X.
A couple of years ago, I saw a picture in a magazine of metallic nails, and since then I have had an infatuation with silver nails. So the other day when I got an email from Sephora and saw this product, I got so excited and immediately went out to buy it. The little kit is $25 which is pretty spendy, but I had a coupon and you get two bottles of nail polish (a base and the actual silver color) in the box. So in reality, it’s $12.50 for each bottle, which isn’t too terrible. And honestly, I have been wanting a metallic nail polish that actually looks like metal for such a long time so I was willing to pay that much.

The base that it comes with is supposed to help the nail foil look more metallic, and it did look a little different from my other nail polish base. The directions also said to use the Formula X nail cleanser on your nails before the base for the best results, but I just used some nail polish remover to get the excess oils off, I think it works just the same. Then you just apply a thin coat of the base, let that dry, and apply the nail foil. It also says not to use a top coat in order to “preserve the mirror finish” so I didn’t put one on. The nail foil dried really quickly (within two minutes!) so that was really convenient.
I really love how it looks on my nails! I was so excited to find this product and I’m really glad I bought it. The box says it’s a one night wear, and now I see why. Without a top coat, the nail polish wears off and chips really easily. I have had it on for a couple of days and it looks like it’s been on for a week. However, I put a top coat on a couple of my nails to see if I could tell a difference, and you really can’t. Those nails also don’t have chips like the others, so next time I will be putting a top coat on all of my nails. All in all, I really love this product and I’m very satisfied! I definitely recommend getting this if, like me, you have been looking for a true metallic-looking nail polish. I have been driving my family crazy from comparing my nails to anything metal that I come across. It really looks like you have silver on your nails! I could go on and on about how much I love it.
What’s your favorite nail polish look? Have you ever tried any metallic shades?
Thanks for reading, and have a great rest of your day! 🙂

Hey guys!
Today I thought I would share my thoughts on the Buxom Full-On Lip Cream.
I ordered some products off of Sephora one day and got three free samples, and the Buxom lip gloss in the shade “Katie” was one of them, and honestly ever since I got it, I have been hooked.
The color is so pretty and natural looking, and it gives your lips a tingling sensation. I don’t really know if I notice a whole bunch of lip plumping action, but I love the lip gloss regardless. It stays on for a long time and my lips never have that weird gunky after-lip-gloss feeling when I have used this lip gloss all night. And a little goes a long way! You definitely don’t have to layer it on a ton of times.
 |
| I love how it looks on my lips! |
And for Christmas, one of my best friends, Joycie (you can check out her blog here) got me this lip gloss in a different shade!
 |
| This one is called “Kir Royale” |
 |
This color is so gorgeous and I have been wanting a burgundy colored lip product for so long, so this is perfect! I love it just as much as the other shade and it is just as great.
So there you have it – my favorite lip gloss! The other shades in this line are also really pretty, but these are definitely my favorite. They also layer over lipsticks really nicely!
Have you ever tried these lip glosses, or any other Buxom products? What is your favorite lip gloss or lip product?

Hey guys!
So tonight I was looking at my blog and decided that it need a makeover, since I have had the same template since…well, the beginning of my blog! I figured it was high time for a new look.
It’s still a work in progress, as you can probably tell, but I am really loving it so far! I basically got everything from Shabby Blogs. It is such a great little website with all sorts of headers, backgrounds, buttons…the list goes on and on. There are also a lot of different tutorials that I found to be helpful.
Anyway, I just wanted to share with you guys a really helpful website, and a quick little post about my blog’s new look. If you guys have any helpful websites, posts, or tips of any kind please leave them in the comments! I am always open to help, especially regarding html/template editing type deals because I am not known for my tech skills…
How do you guys like the new look?
Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a great rest of your day! 🙂

Hey Guys!
I’m currently sitting in my bed right now, watching Harry Potter and eating a Nerd Rope. All the fairy lights are on and candles lit, so I am one happy bug. It’s been such a nice Sunday today, just relaxing with my family and doing some cleaning around the house. Sundays are definitely my favorite day of the week!
Today I thought I would share a quote that I found a while back with you guys 🙂
I absolutely adore this quote. When I was younger, I always had such big dreams and plans for my life. Today, I still have dreams and plans, but sometimes it seems so scary planning my life because it is now so real. It was very easy when I was seven years old to say that someday I would be a famous author, or an archaeologist working in Egypt. Now I have to think about a career that will allow me to be successful and able to support myself, so it’s easy to lose sight of what would make me truly happy. When I saw this quote, I instantly fell in love. It really puts dreams in perspectives, and it is so true. If you aren’t actively pursuing your own dreams, you are probably working to help support someone else’s. While it is never a bad thing to help someone out, it is just as important to make your dreams come true. The world today doesn’t encourage dream-making, but rather money-making, and I think it has resulted in a lot of unhappy people. My parents have always told me to do what I love, and to not worry about money. While this is a very admirable thing to do, the world today makes that a very hard task to achieve.
However, 2013 really taught me to do what I love. I have realized what I love to do, and maybe what careers I would like to have when I am older. I also learned what I don’t like to do, which is actually really helpful to me now, so I know what not to study in college. Since 2014 is the year that I will graduate high school (what?!), I’m glad to have figured all that out in 2013. All in all, it was a good year because I learned a lot about myself, and about life in general. I am much more confident about someday moving out and living on my own, because I finally have confidence in myself. I feel like I have really broken out of my shell this past year, and I began to learn more about myself. I still have so much more to go, so I am really looking forward to 2014. I have a lot of goals that I am working to achieve, and I feel so ready. 2014 is going to be such a huge year; I am turning 18, graduating from high school, going to college, the list goes on and on. I am really hoping for a great year to come, and I think going into the new year with a good attitude is the best way to tackle it. So, I don’t have any new years resolutions per se, but rather goals to accomplish and dreams to begin. I have started writing a book and I am excited to see where that will take me, and I plan to work on my blog a lot more.
So, I hope you all had a good 2013, and I hope 2014 is even better!
What are your goals or resolutions for 2014?
