#Subscriptionboxsaturday uhhh, i mean Sunday! Jan beautybox5


Good morning beauties!! So, i know this is way over due, and I'm so sorry i haven't blogged in a min.....but, I'll get back on track.
Anyhow, who is excited for January's beauty box 5?

Beauty box 5 is a monthly subscription box that sends you 5 deluxe samples/full size products every month. If you'd like to sign up.....click  here 


The beginning of the year can mean new challenges, but rather then shying away from confrontation, greet them whole heartedly with a smile and a twinkle in(and lining) your perfectly-accented eyes! You never know what new opportunities are on the horizon, so put your well-manicured self forward and say hi to fresh possibilities!


I was actually pleased when i received this month's box!!


Coastal scents eyeshadow:
Retail 1.95-24.95

We're crushing hard on these super-pigmented shadows! Whether you pair all four shades together for an all-over eye look or pick a few favorites to accent with,they'll make your eyes stand out gorgeously!!

I LOVE coastal scents eyeshadow!! They are so pigmented and they really don't break your budget to get!!


Sally Hansen:salon effects
Retail: 9.99 for 16 strips

A perfect mani for up to 10 days? Bring it on! Peel and apply strips to your nails, smooth over and then shape for easy nail art. Bonus: when your done they come of with nail polish remover!

Ok y'all......right now I'm all about my jams! But, too be fair....I'm gonna put these on and see how they hold. Maybe do a sally hansen vs jamberry blog?? Who knows??


Softsoap nutri serums vitamin e body wash
Retail: 8.00

Treat your body to rich moisture and a super fresh scent while showing! The softening serum pearls burst with vitamin e to hydrate and omega 3 and 6 help your skin retain moisture all day long to banish winter dryness.

You would figure I'd  say this is my least fave.....it's body wash..... Lol but honestly....I'm glad i got this!! I don't change up my body wash often. If i find one i like....i usually stick to it.  So, this is a good way to get me to try new stuff. I LOVE this! It smells super yummy and makes my skin feel soft.


My least favorite this month.......
Garnier fructis: daily care fortifying shampoo
Retail: 3.99
Make 2015 your year of healthy hair! Strengthen your tresses with grapefruit antioxidants and proteins that'll leave your locks fortified, oh-so-soft, and super shiny. Did we mention that the invigorating scent will have you hooked in no time!

Ok ladies, I'm not gonna lie.....i haven't tried this yet. Not this particular garnier. The reason I'm not thrilled about this is...
1. It's shampoo
2. It's a everyday cheaper shampoo you can get anywhere
Im not saying i don't like garnier, I'm just saying I'd like to get a higher end shampoo sample that I've never had or tried before, does that make sense?


Ultraflesh the gold standard mascara in blackout
Retail: 21.00

Dramatic,thicker lashes are as good as gold with this amped up mascara! The expert wand gets every lash coated for major results. Feeling bold? Layer 2 or 3 coats for the most va-va-voom.

Y'all.....I'm not a fan of receiving mascaras. Really....but i used this yesterday and omg!!! My new go to mascara and I'm deff purchasing a full size.  I wish i could find it right now to take a picture of the wand! I have very, very sensitive eyes and most mascara burns my eyes then makes them water then my makeup ends up down my cheeks! This didn't!! And it separated each of my lashes with NO clumping!! WIN!!

Over all, I'm really happy with my jan 2015 beauty box 5!

New product review!!! Jamberry


What is Jamberry, you ask? They are high quality, vinyl, heat and pressure sealed nail wraps that last for weeks, at a fraction of the cost of a salon visit! No harsh chemicals, chipped polish, or damage to your natural nail. There are over 350 adorable style options! One sheet of nail wraps will give you up to 2 manis and 2 pedis!!

The other day I received a sample sheet of these adorable nail wraps!!  I've had the chance to try them out and y'all already know I'm going to give my honest opinion.  So,  this is what my sample sheet looked like....


These designs are just too cute!! Right!?  I was excited to try it out!  The application method was pretty easy.  The only thing I thought was a downfall was the fact that you need so many tools.  It isn't hard,  just seems like allot lol.

The first manicure I did was using this pretty cheetah print


Please,  don't mind my color blocking technique.... This was my first ever(freehanded)

On my right hand,  I did just pink with the cheetah.... It was cute as well:)


The wrap on my right hand felt real rough from the filing and the wrap had started to peel up on the tip. 
To me,  I was thinking RED FLAG!!!! Right?!  I contacted my consultant and we talked about how I applied them and she suggested some things I could try.  She was totally sweet and understanding!  I removed that manicure. Which was soooooooo simple!! (another pro)

For my second manicure I did this pretty Victorian wrap as an accent nail.


Added a few lil tricks to this application.  My finished Mani was really cute


But,  I had a problem with the tip again


Now I'm thinking,  great!  They don't work and I really liked them.  So,  I contacted my consultant yet again.  She was so helpful and wanted to find out what was going on as much as I did!!!  So,  I got some more pointers and I told myself... One more time,  if it doesn't work.... I'm done!!

This time I decided to do all my nails(but 1) with the wraps


Guess what!!!  I'm in love!  They turned out so cute!  I did this manicure a few hours ago and so far....... NO PEELING!  I've done dishes and laundry too! 

This is my new favorite thing!! 


Here are some good things to know about jamberries. But I have to tell you my two fave reasons: no dry time and your right hand looks just as good as your left!


Here are some examples:

Also,  get excited!!  Tomorrow is #subscriptionboxsaturday it's my Jan beauty box 5!!

I know, I'm so so sorry!


Hey y'all!! I just wanted to say sorry for being a little MIA.  I'm finally getting a little order to the house from Christmas!!  So,  how have y'all been?

So..... It's #terrificTuesday!  I gotta tell you about this terrific deal I found.  So,  for my readers.... Y'all know right after thanksgiving (or right before) someone stole my purse.  So,  for Christmas my parents got me an adorable UGA purse for Christmas that I just adore!


Cute,  right?  Well, as with anything I get,  my grandson got a hold of it and the strap broke!!  Anyhow,  I was in our local roses store the other day and saw this adorable bag!


How cute!?  And huge too!  Anyhow,  a purse this cute and this size was gonna be at least 20.00 NOPE!  7.00! So.... I Had to have it!


And then today I found these cute glasses that so go with my purse perfectly.


Oh,  and notice my pj bottoms??  I so did my Mani to match it!


Anyhow,  any good deals lately??  Share your recent Mani! 

Muahs!
