Sally Beauty Supply Haul: Featuring China Glaze and Finger Paints

Posted on April 20, 2014 | Leave a comment

I had only intended to go to Sally Beauty Supply to purchase a base coat and a top coat. I was seriously trying to behave myself. LOL! I noticed all of their nail polishes were buy two get one free. That seemed simple enough. One thing for certain is that Sally Beauty Supply has great product placement. I couldn’t help but notice the China Glaze Twirlin’ & Swirlin’ set. I gave into temptation and purchased that as well.

(L-R) Margritte’s Masterpiece, Top Coat, Base Coat

(L-R) Snow, Too Yacht to Handle, That’s Shore Bright, Pink Plumeria

Since I’m not the only one in my household who uses nail polish, I purchased the Nail Polish Thinner. 😉

I Am Really Liking Zoya Nail Polish

Posted on February 23, 2014 | 3 comments

The February 2014 ispy Bag is the third time I received a Zoya nail polish. I knew about Zoya nail polish from my numerous trips to ULTA. I would usually gravitate towards China Glaze or OPI. Zoya is now on my radar.

I was watching TV in my room and decided to break out the nail dotting tools. This is what I did.

Sally Beauty Supply Haul: Featuring China Glaze and Ion

Posted on December 4, 2013 | Leave a comment

Let the Holiday Shopping Season begin!

This past Friday I stopped by Sally Beauty Supply. Being a creature of habit I bought some China Glaze nail polishes. They always seem to have nice collections for the Holidays.

I bought the Dash of Dazzle and Touch of Twinkle sets. These sets were $7.99 each with my Sally Beauty Club Card.

(L-R) Mingle with Kringle, Bells Will Be Blinging, So Blue Without You

(L-R) Just Be-Claws, Be Merry, Be Bright, Santa Red My List

I also purchased some deep conditioner for my hair. I’ve added the Ion Repair Solutions Effective Care Treatment to my hair routine. I made a promise to myself that I would take better care of my hair. In the past my hair would break off during the cold weather months. I’ve made great progress this year and I want to retain my length. The Ion Repair Solutions Effective Care Treatment packs were 99 cents each.

A Closer Look: Nail It! Magazine

Posted on November 22, 2013 | Leave a comment

Nail It! Magazine made its debut in 2013. This is the fifth issue I have purchased. I need to quit playing and subscribe to this magazine already.

There are step-by-step nail tutorials throughout the magazine. I really love that!

Nail It! touches on hair and skin.

Nail It! also covers makeup.

This is a great magazine whether you are a beginner or a professional. You get up to date information on nail trends too. 🙂

Rite Aid Haul: Featuring Maybelline and Kiss

Posted on October 21, 2013 | 2 comments

On my recent trip to Rite Aid this is what I purchased.

Since I’m already a fan of Maybelline’s mascaras, I wanted to try the Falsie ® Big Eyes ® Mascara. I purchased Blackest Black.

Lashes before

Lashes after

I only applied one coat of this mascara. I really like the brush for the bottom
lashes.

I also saw the Fall 2013 makeup collection from Maybelline. I purchased only one lipstick and that shade was Midnight Plum. This color reminds me of Cyber from MAC and Talk That Talk from the RiRi Hearts MAC Collection. I really love Midnight Plum. I may have to pick up another lipstick in that shade.
