Perfume Review: Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Delight

Hey guys! 



Today I have for you guys a different kind of review. It is on a perfume! Since it is on perfume there isn't too much to say so these will be fairly quick. 

Let's get into it. This is the Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Delight Perfume. I got it at Marshals for only $50! Normally I believe that this perfume is about $110. I have to say that the packaging of this perfume is absolutely perfect! It is so girly and beautiful. The scent is really lovely. It is mostly floral but has hints of sweetness. Personally I have never liked floral scents but this one is different. Something about it make me love it. This is a perfect everyday scent for more of the spring and summer since it is a lighter scent. I love that it lasts all day long so I don't have to re-apply! Overall I think that this is a fantastic perfume!  

Recommend? I would recommend this to someone who is looking for a sophisticated floral/sweet scent that you are able to wear everyday.

Eucalyptus Tea Scrub Review

Hey guys! Happy February! The year is just flying by! 
I am here with another review for you! This one is on the stress relief eucalyptus tea sugar scrub from Bath and Body Works! (That is one long name!) I got it for $8 when they had a weekend sale. Normally they are $16! 

Here we go, to the review! Let's talk about smell first. It smells so lovely, however, it is a very potent scent. I think that it smells like a fresh hot cup of green tea with some hints of floral and musk. Before using this, make sure you mix it up or shake it up so that the sugar and essential oils blend together. Since it  oil, this scrub is great at moisturizing and exfoliating at the same time. The sugar is quite chunky so it does feel a little bit harsh, personally I love it. After a long day I think that this the perfect scent to wine down to. The one downfall is that it does make your shower/tub floor pretty slippery! Be careful!   

Recommend? I would most definitely recommend this to any ladies out there looking for a sugar scrub that is moisturizing, exfoliating, and great smelling!

Too Faced Primed for Sex Mascara and Shadow Insurance Review

Hello guys! Sorry I was gone for so long but I am finally back! :) 
I hope you are having a great 2015! 


Today I have a review for you all. It is on the Too Faced Primed for Sex Set. I bought this from Sephora on Black Friday (I know it's been a long time). I paid $10 which I thought was a pretty spectacular deal. I have had a lot of time to try this set out so I figure that I would give you my thoughts. 

Alright onto the review. First off I'll talk about the mascara that everyone and their mom raves about. Out of 5 stars I would give it a 3.5. Here's why, I think that it's a great mascara for volume and thickening. Since I have stick straight lashes this didn't hold my curl at all, which was what I expected since this mascara is not waterproof. It does give some length but not as much as I would have liked. I think that the brush and formula are great. You do get quite a bit of product. It is about 1/2 the size of the normal tube. Overall, I think that if this mascara had a waterproof option I would be sold but since it doesn't I don't think I would repurchase it. 

Next is the also raved about Shadow Insurance. I absolutely despise this product. It is not worth the money to spend on. Out of 5 stars this would for sure give this a 1. Firstly, the product has the most disgusting smell. It smells like humid rain (if you can imagine that) and it is not pleasant. I would be able to deal with the smell if the formula was great but it wasn't. I have tried at least 10 times to get the product out, but all that comes out is this oily substance and a tiny tiny bit of the product. When I applied it to my eyelids it didn't soak in. All it did was make my eyelids super oily and irritated. I don't have anything positive to say of this product which I find unfortunate.  

Recommend? I would only recommend the mascara if you don't have stick straight lashes. I think that if you have normal lashes you will fall in love with the mascara. I would not, however, recommend the shadow insurance to anyone. I am not sure if I just got a bad batch but I don't like it what so ever. 

~Hope this was helpful to you guys!~

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Merry Christmas Everyone! 
I would like to start this special post off by saying thank you so much for reading and supporting me through the short time that I have been blogging! Love you guys! :)


I am really loving this super cute and festive design for the holidays! My favorite part has to be Santa on my thumb! Let's get right into how this all was created.

Santa
  • CND Stickey Base Coat
  • Red Striper 
  • White Striper
  • Black Striper
  • Sally Hansen White On
  • OPI San Tan Tonio
  • Small Dotting Tool
  • Large Dotting Tool
  • Sally Hansen Diamond Shine Top Coat

First off, paint your thumb a thin layer of base coat. Next you want to take your white polish and go about 1/2 way up your nail and create sort of an oval shape. Then you are going to go along the top edge of the white with your red striper and make a straight line; from that curve the red striper towards your cuticle and make a little triangle shape at the end for Santa's hat. (Sorry, I know it's super confusing!) After completing that you are going to take your small dotting tool and some white polish and dot along the bottom edge of Santa's hat and at the end of this hat where you made the triangle shape. Take your nude polish and right below those white dots you made on his hat, put a rectangle shape with the nude. Time for his 2 eyes, use the small dotting tool and black polish and place 2 dots on the nude. Onto the nose, take you large dotting tool and red polish and place one dot under his eyes. Lastly Santa's smile! Use the black striper and create a smile! And you are done, seal it with a fast drying top coat! 

Polka Dots
  • CND Stickey Base Coat
  • Zoya Rocky 
  • Sally Hansen White on
  • Small Dotting Tool
  • Sally Hansen Diamond Shine Top Coat

After painting your base coat, paint 2 coats of Rocky. It's a super flattering blue polish on my skin tone! Then take your small dotting tool and white polish and make one dot directly in the middle of your nail but say towards the cuticle. Then follow that down vertically. For the sides, you want to go in bewtween the dots you just made so it looks ways harder than it was. Seal your polka dots with your top coat and that design is finished! 
*HINT: MAKE SURE ALL YOUR DOTS ARE SPACED OUT EVENLY! 

Snowflake
  • CND Stickey Base Coat
  • Sephora by OPI Flurry Up
  • Sally Hansen White On
  • White Striper
  • Small Dotting Tool
  • Sally Hansen Diamond Shine Top Coat

To begin this stunning design that doesn't just have to be for Christmas you need to paint your nails once again with 2 coats of Rocky. Next you are going to take your white striper and make an "X" then put a line right through the middle. Using the white striper still, make a "V" design coming off of each line. After that, take your small dotting tool and put a dot towards the center on each line. Open up your bottle of silver hexagonal glitter and take a piece onto your dotting tool and place it in the center of your snowflake! Ta Da! All done! 

Christmas Tree

  • CND Stickey Base Coat
  • Sephora by OPI High Maintenance 
  • Revlon Silver Dollar
  • Revlon Emerald 
  • Revlon Wild Card
  • Essie Knockout Pout
  • Ulta Celebutante
  • Medium Dotting Tool
  • Tiny Dotting Tool
  • Star Gem (Preferably Gold or Silver but I only had red so I used that)
  • Sally Hansen Diamond Shine Top Coat
Last design! Paint your ring finger 2 lovely coats of red. After, start at the base of your nail and do a grape vine pattern with your medium dotting tool to create the tree. Take your silver polish and a tiny dotting tool and drag it down in a zig zag pattern for the lights. For the ornaments use the blue, purple, and pink and the tiny dotting tool and put them on the string of lights! YAY! Mani complete! 


MERRY CHRISTMAS AGAIN! HAVE A FANTASTIC TIME! 

XOXO

Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes Review

Hey Guys! 


Today I have a review on the Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes. I have been using these ever since I have been wearing makeup. I have tried different ones such as the Target brand (Up & Up), Simple, Clean and Clear, etc. But I keep going back to these because none of those are as good as these Neutrogena ones! These are great for taking of any kind of makeup, even waterproof mascara which is the only kind of mascara I wear. If you are looking for a deal on these makeup wipes, Costco has a box of 104 wipes for about $15 when normally they are between $5-7 depending on where you buy them. The wipes are nicely saturated they don't cause my skin to act up. (I have extremely dry skin, just in case you were wondering!) They also have a clean, non potent scent and they don't leave any sort of residue on the face. The only complaint I have is the packaging. After using about 1/2 the package, the opening begins to not stick back together causing air to touch the wipes and drying them out. If you have any tips for that let me know in the comments because that would really help me out. 

Recommend? For sure! Overall these are the only makeup wipes that are inexpensive and actually take off all your makeup without leaving any residue behind. 

~Hopefully you found this helpful! Have a fantastic day!~

Bows and Polka Dots Nail Design

Hello Guys! How are you doing today?

Products Used
  • CND Stickey Base Coat
  • Revlon Colorstay in Rich Raspberry
  • Revlon in Silver Dollar
  • Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in White On
  • Milani Black Striper
  • Different Sized Dotting Tools
  • Sally Hansen Diamond Flash Top Coat 
This nail design was inspired by @mrswhite8907 on Instagram! I saw her do these back during August but I totally forgot about them until I was scrolling through my pictures on my phone and saw this screenshot. It looks so much harder than it actually is to do. First you will apply your base coat and 2 coats of your chosen color. The one I chose is one of my personal favorites! After your polish dries, take your white polish and go diagonally from one side of your nail to the other end. Wait for that to dry and then use the same color as you did for your base and use different size dotting tools to dot the color on the white. Next use your black striper and follow the top edge of the white all the way down. Following that step, make a triangle on top of the black line and fill it in. Starting in the middle where the point of the last triangle you made, make another one going on the other side. (Sorry if that was super confusing! It's really hard to put in words!) After the bow is complete use a small dotting tool with the silver polish and put it in the middle of the bow. Top your beautiful design with a fast drying top coat and you are finished! 

~Hope you try out this design! If you do, post it on Instagram and tag me @nails_angela! I would be so appreciative if your would follow as well!~

Burt's Bees Lemon Cuticle Cream Review

Hi there guys! 


I was in need of a good cuticle cream because the cuticles on my nails were really getting super dry. This might be TMI but the cuticles on my toes were getting flaky too. I set on a mission at Walmart to find this and I did. A little pricey at $6 but it is well worth it. I have been using it for about a month now and my cuticles are looking and feeling so much better. I put it on my nails and toes right before bed. I use it then because it is quite oily. It also smells really nice! Loving this product! 

~Hoping this was helpful!~

XOXO
