Mini Haul ~ DEAL$

There's a store where I live (NY City) and it's called DEAL$. They have just about everything...well almost everything. Anyways I would like to share my very mini haul with you.

Take a closer look in my basket!

Two L.A. Colors Nail Art Deco Lacquers in Intense Pink & Gold Glitter. Can't wait to play with those! Both were a dollar each.

I actually got two things from Walgreen's. Suave Keratin Dry Shampoo. I really like the Suave Dry Shampoo more than the Tresemme Dry Shampoo. The Tresemme works but the smell is way too strong. Plus the Suave brand is much cheaper, it smells good and it doesn't leave me choking for air! The second item I bought from Walgreen's is Personna Eyebrow Shaper. I like to use these a lot.

 Heart Doilies. It comes with 16 pieces and it only cost me a dollar. I think this was super cute and it will come in handy for Valentine's Day desserts!

The basket that everything is in was also from Deals and also cost a dollar!

That's it for my mini haul. Have a great weekend!

NOTW ~ Valentine Nail Art

Felt like it's been forever since I updated my blog. I just have been extremely stress out for the month of January. But I'm back and nothing gonna keep me from blogging...lol I will also be updating my Baking Blog for Valentine's, so look out for some sweet recipes.

Okay now on to the nails of the week!

This week I tried out this cute plaid nail art. It was super easy to do. All you need is a couple of pink or red polishes and a art brush to achieve the plaid lines. I will link a video below showing you how I achieved this nail art.

After applying a base and top coat. (Seche Clear & Vite) I used...

Sinful Colors in Glass Pink. (All over color)

 Wet n Wild nail polish in Flirty Rose Creme.

 

Sinful Colors in Soul Mate. (plaid design) 

Show me your Valentine Nails!

When I open my Birchbox every month I try not to look at the card with the names of items that's on there, but I couldn't help it. Maybe it's cause I don't like to be surprise. hee hee But I was super excited about getting another Zoya nail polish! Was also happy about receiving the Stila Smudge Stick Eye Liner in purple tang, which is a super pretty purple with pink shimmer in it. (pink shimmer isn't showing up on camera)

Can't wait to do a NOTW with that Zoya nail polish!

EOTD

Finally a EOTD with out using the Naked palette! haha Well I did use two colors from the Naked palette, which were Virgin and Naked. I love that palette and I really want the Naked 2! I think I'll wait till the Naked 2 comes out in Sephora store.

The palette that I did use was Urban Decay BOS 2. I felt like some of my other eye shadow palettes were lonely, from not being used...lol It's been such a long time since I used this BOS 2. Only used two shades which were Sellout & Half Baked.

BIRCHBOX ~ December

This is gonna be a late update post on last months Birchbox. I was away for the Holidays with friends, and unfortunately now I'm back. haha jk

So let's see what I got in December's Birchbox...

Benefit Cosmetics: The POREfessional
Harvey Prince: Ageless Purfume
Jouer: Moisturizing Lip Gloss
Orofludo: Beauty Elixir

Extras:

Prep ShowStoppers: Designer Fashion Tape
Recharge Eboost: Orange Natural Energy Booster

Pretty excited to try out the Benefit The Porefessional. I have enlarged pore around my nose, cheeks and around my mouth. So I hope this little simple works for me. If so I will be purchasing the full size.

Harvey Prince perfume smells okay. I'm not into really strong smelling fragrances but this one isn't so bad.

Jouer lip gloss looks really pretty and can't wait to try it out!

I really love when they give me hair oils. I have really dry damaged hair so I use hair oils to soften and condition the hair. So I can't wait to try out Orofludo.

Also got two extra gifts.
Prep Showstoppers designer fashion tape, which I really wont be needing. But I guess it's good to have in your makeup kit to use on a someone who needs it. I tried the Recharge Eboost orange energy drink. Didn't like it, taste pretty gross to me...lol

Well wish everyone a Happy New Year!
