Taupe-Less Beach - O.P.I

TAUPE-LESS
BEACH!!!


I fell in love with the name, thats for sure!
I seen this polish at Sally's Beauty supply.

I first seen the color and it was a tone I had been searching for. Because over the past few weeks I've been really loving the more neutral colors rather then my brights I'm always wearing. 
I wasn't quite sure about getting the polish due to it being O.P.I
Now don't get me wrong, I love the consistency of O.P.I 
I just don't enjoy the prices.


None the less I paid the price, the name truly sold me. 

I am not wearing the color in the photos, but I am wearing it as I write this.
The color has a purple undertone to it. Which I don't mind at all.
Actually kind of like it. I did two coats of it with no clear coat. 
But that was for my preference, so to each their own on that.
the polish is thick. If done right, you may only need one coat.

All in all I give this color a 4 out of 5 unicorns.
My only downfall being the price.

Que Bella - Deep Cleanse

Goodmorning! 
Grab your coffee because it is time to relax. 

Over the weekend I tried another Que Bella mask. 
(First Q.B. mask review Click Here)
This was the Deep Cleansing mask, in which I was in dire need of. 


I honestly wasn't sure what to expect, it has been quite some time since I used this brand. 
As for instructions, it seems to me that they're the same as before. 


So I did as advised, rinsed-applied-relaxed.
Once I took the mask off, which came out of this packet looking like this.


And applied with more of a clear consistency, I felt my skin to be more smooth then before. A bit of my redness had diminished as well. As for a deep cleanse, I'm not quite sure how well this one worked. I remember looking at my nose and feeling like I still needed to do a nose strip. But it was better then it was beforehand, I wont deny that. 

In total this mask specifically, I give it a 3 out of 5 unicorns. 
Down falls-- Feeling like I still had to do more for a full cleanse.
Plus side-- Inexpensive, relaxing, leaves skin feeling smooth.

Anyway, I hope this helps you decide if it is worth a try. Let me know if you do try this one or any other Que Bella masks.

So if you are still reading, I love you.

January I plan to stick to a new video every other day. And at least start doing 3 blog posts a month.

February is going to be a special month for me on YouTube and I really hope you check it out. HINT the entire month is dedicated to 1 series of videos, it'll be 14 videos total. 

So this is my two month plan. Hopefully I can get plans going for march and such. Do you have any requests? Are you excited to see the future videos and posts?

My main goal. I would love to hit 1,000 subscribers by my second year on YouTube. Which isn't until new years eve. So I totally see that as a reasonable goal.

I hope you stick around for more posts and videos. Thanks for reading my random babble.

Pink Lady Lips review

MILANI
I love you for naming this shade Pink Lady, it's just so cute!


So lets get down to business, 
I went to CVS when they had their big beauty sale. I seen some of their Milani items were on sale, just not all of them. 
Meaning I was bummed when I couldn't get 2 lipsticks, that called my name, for dang near $1.50
None the less I got myself this lovely gloss, that also called my name.


Again the shade is 07 Pink Lady, which I feel is a good fit for the shade.
I enjoy pink shades very much, during the spring time so this will be used quite often in a few months. And maybe on and off during the holiday season. 


Just to see the back of this, I actually like that their label isn't just a sticker. It's printed on the packaging. 



Here is the swatch of it with a flash, it's a very nice soft pink shade, one I'd love to have as a lipstick as well, so yes I might try to hunt that down. As for the product, the scent is a bit of bubblegum and cotton candy. It is sticky as any lipgloss is, I think this is just one of those glosses that i nice to have in your bag when you're in need of a little pink shine. This might make a good gift this holiday season for someone who wishes to expand their lip gloss selection. Over all I give this a 3/5 Unicorns. Only because I don't like how sticky this actually is.

Rockin' Lipgloss

Oh goodness who here remembers always having to have rock candy as a kid? 
I know I do! 

So when I seen these lip glosses at Claire's I about spazzed. Not only were they on sale (10 for $10) I looked online and they have more flavors. You can click HERE to check them out on the official Dylans webpage. 


I purchased the only one they had, luckily I am a fan of the Strawberry flavoring. But fist I wanna talk about the packaging. 

I really enjoy how realistic the lip gloss looked from afar. I seen it and was like woah what is that, I need some of that in my life. When I seen it was $1 and a lipgloss, you know I didn't set it back down. Oh and originally this is $8.50 which is a little much for a lipgloss but I'll give it props cause it is Dylans. 
I'd also like to mention this is my first Dylans product and so far, it's goin good. 


Here's a look out of the packaging, It's all plastic, and not sharp, so don't worry you wont hurt yourself. 
I did notice that it shines like rock candy does in some lighting which is really cool. 
Now this flavor turned out to be clear, and I expected a hint of pink to be honest. 
I don't know if this goes for all flavors but non the less, I still like it.


Let's talk about the scent of this. Have you ever had those sour candies that you had to squeeze out of a tube? I cannot for the life of me remember the name, please tell me if you know what I'm talking about. But thats what this smells like! And I highly love it!! It makes me want to eat it. But please DO NOT consume this. This is a beauty product, not food. In that, I should mention the warning label about consumption at the bottom of the clear packaging. As any lip gloss would have, just don't eat it. 

Now for the product itself, it is a bit sticky and thick. I had to pat mine on via the applicator. 
Then had to smooth it out like any normal lip product. In total I give this a 3/5 unicorns. My only downfall is that its near $10 just for 1 product, and the second down fall is the thickness of the product, as well as not having any shade to it. But that last one doesn't mean  I wont use it.
