NOTD: Cloud Nine

Hello!
I have another nail or the day for you all. This one is called Cloud Nine by Color Club. It is light purple, holographic polish. This is a great alternative to OPIs Designer Series Original polishes. I think they were dicontinued about a year ago.
This polish goes on really smooth and only take 2 coats. It dries quickly and only took about 15 minutes to completely dry with 2 coats and a top coat.

NOTD- Bahama Mama by Essie

Hi Ladies. I wanted to show you this really pretty nail polish color by Essie. This beautiful maroon color is called Bahama Mama. I have been loving adding an accent color on my ring finger. The thick gold glitter nail polish is called Halo by Orly. I used Essie All in One 3-Way Glaze as a base and top coat. When I use this I can go about a week without too much chipping. I love this color for fall. The only bad thing is that it needs 3 coats for it to look good. 

Thanks for looking!

5 Favorite Products Under $5

Hello! Today I wanted to share some of my favorite products for under $5. Who doesn't love a great product at an awesome price!

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Blush
Price: $4.99
These blushes are highly pigmented and are flattering colors. They blend easily to give a natural look and last a long time. 

Prestige Kohl Eyeliner
Price: $4.30
This eyeliner is great for smokey eyes. Its easy to apply and smudge out. I normally take a small eyeshadow brush with black or brown eyeshadow and smudge the eyeliner out. Using the eyeshadow helps set the liner and help it last all day.

NYX Cosmetics Jumbo Eye Pencil
Price: $4.50
This eyeliner glides on smoothly and is easily blended. It can be used as an eyeliner or a shadow. I normally put them on my entire eyelid as a base for powder eyeshadow. They are bold colors that look great standing alone or intensify eyeshadows when used underneath.

Wet and Wild Eyeshadow
Price: $2.99
I like the Color Icon Trios, but they have larger palettes too. They are surprisingly pigmented and go on smoothly. They are great for beginners because they show what color should go on the lid, crease and browbone.They are easily blended too. There is a wide variety of colors from neutrals to bright colors. I always wear a primer with these because it helps them last longer.

Rimmel London Natural Bronzer
Price: $4.99
This matte bronzer looks really natural and is easy to apply. It doesn't have an orange tint like some other bronzers I have tried. It comes in 4 shades so its great for different skin tones.

October Favorites

 Hey Ladies. Its time for October Favorites. I cannot believe its already November. October flew by. Some of these products are new, but some are rediscovered favorites too.

I have been using Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly Tousling Spray Gel everyday I wear my hair natural. I normally wash my hair at night then braid my hair before bed. In the morning I wet my hair and scrunch this product in my hair. It helps define my curls and give a nice tousled look. It smells really good too.

I have been wearing Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Honey most days this month. This is a wearable color that is more on the natural side. It gives a nice "your lip color, but better" effect. It is buildable too if you prefer it to be darker. I do find that it drys my lips out but I always put a chap stick over it and it helps.

I got this scarf from Target. It is a Houdstooth pattern by the brand Merona. Its a thin material but theirs a lot of fabric because its wide and long. I like to tie the ends together and wear it as an infinity scarf. I have been loving pairing it with a white shirt and boots.

OPIs Ski Teal We Drop is the perfect dark blue nail polish for fall. I have been using this with a glitter polish over it on my ring finger. 

I already did a full review on the Desert Essence Blemish Touch Stick. If you would like to see it click here. It has been a good product that doesn't dry my skin out like other spot treatments. It has helped clear my face of blemishes faster.

This is a swatch of the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation Stick. I needed a new foundation because the one I was using no longer matched my skin tone from summer. This one matches my face almost perfectly. I wear the color classic ivory. It goes on really smooth and is easily blended. It is only light coverage, so if you are looking for a full coverage this is not the one. I plan on doing a full review of this product soon. 

 

What are your favorites for the month?
