Influenster Summer Beauty VoxBox

Hello Ladies :) 

Still busy with work and school so I've been a little behind with the posts, I apologize! But, a couple weeks ago I received my first ever Summer Beauty VoxBox from Influenster! 

What I received:

Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen SPF30

Tampax and Always Radiant Collection

Quaker Soft Baked Bar in Banana Nut Bread

Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color

Sally Hansen Nails and Cuticles Hand Creme

After waking up late I ended up picking out the Soft Baked Bar and ate it on my way to class and I must say not only did it really taste like Banana Nut Bread (and DELICIOUS) but it also kept me full through my class until I was able to get a full meal. I'm planning on using the cuticle creme and magnetic nail polish within my next nails of the week!

My First MAC Palette

Hello ladies Enjoying your summer? We have been having a lot of heat which I know has been going across the east and southeast recently. We had about 4 days in 100 + degrees which never happens in Michigan. 

 Now I know my birthday was two months ago and unfortunately I wasn't able to do a post about what I got or rather bought myself :) but I ended up purchasing my first ever MAC Pro Palette for 15 eye shadows. I wanted my first eye shadow to put in there to be special so after I was completely empty of the original eye shadow I picked up a pan size of Patina which is a gorgeous gold brown that has a little bit of pink, green, and gold. This is a frost eye shadow but has a subtle tone of shimmer. I use this in my everyday routine so it definitely has a small place in my heart.

What are your MAC favorites or what neutrals do you regularly go to?

Camera Question! Help!

Hey ladies, 

So right now I'm trying to do a little saving as I pay off this tuition for one of my online classes and I hope by the end of the summer I will have enough to purchase a few things. 

1) A new camera! I've been carrying around my camera for forever and although my Canon Elph has done it's job I've been really wanting to get one for more professional pictures and videos. Unfortunately I'm not tech savvy with camera's so I figured I would bring it here to you ladies who not only take beautiful pictures, but videos as well to let me know what you use, or what is you're favorite.  I was looking into Canon, but I'm open to suggestions.

2) I'm also hoping to buy a new laptop. If you were a follower around the time I went to Italy, you would have read about how my Dell Laptop of 4 years died 2 days before I left to study abroad. With little time and absolutely no money, I was able to get an 14" HP laptop. I absolutely love this laptop since my last one, but my heart has always wanted a MacBook Pro. 

So my question for you ladies- 13" or 15" ? 

I hope you ladies can help me with this decision. I can't wait to finally invest in both of these :) 

Also, I finally did my first water marbling and it turned out not so bad. Will be posting pictures soon!

Enjoy you're weekend!

NOTW + Kiss Nail Dress Review

Now that the weather is finally in the 80s I thought Pink would be the best pick of the week. After visiting the closest CVS to me I came across the sale section where I found Kiss Nail Dress stickers for $1.49. Originally they are $6.99, but I since I have yet to try the whole nail polish stickers fad I never wanted to spend the full price without knowing how they would be. After coming across these, I bought the Pink Leopard ones. I figured someone must have opened it or something because there was really nothing wrong with the item to make it on sale.

Kiss Nail Dress are the new nail strips that last up to 10 days, depending on what you do each day. I've had mine on for 4 days and so far it's still in tact and has not peeled once. I decided to only wear in on my ring fingers and fill the rest with Sinful Colors 24/7 which is a bright neon pink.

These nail strips are really worth the price and I plan on going out and getting more because it really does last. With two jobs, 4 days is a miracle for my nails!

I give this product a A- only because there are a lot of colors I want and that they don't have or the colors that are a little too cheesy for me.

Have any of you ladies tried these nail strips or any other's out there you love?

Disclosure:

As I mentioned above, I purchased this item on my own, with my own money. No one forced or asked me to do this review!

Best 21st Birthday & Drake

So my birthday was a few weeks ago and since then a lot of good things have happened

1) I successfully made my first ever cake and it actually turned out good. It was supposed to be leopard print but the colors were so similar it looked a little like cow print lol

2) I celebrated with my friends and family all week

3) I got a new job :) 

and 4) My best friend surprised me with Drake tickets =D

Now I know a lot of people have their opinions on Drake but when it comes to me I'm absolutely in love with him and I've always wanted to go to a concert. Unfortunately I got sick the day before so I spent all day yesterday sleeping and taking a ton of medicine so I would be ready to go! Best night of my life! 

I can definitely check off those things on my mental bucket list!

New Mannequins!

So growing up I have always wanted a mannequin. I can remember when I would get PB Teen magazines I would circle all the things I wanted and they were at least $199. Well this isn't new, I've actually had them since February but I had to figure out where and how I would actually use them before I could post about them. 

For those who don't know I work at V. Secret and we are doing some MAJOR remodeling to the point where we will be double the size and comparable to the two story store they have in Chicago. I helped out with the entire move and as one of the few associates that got to see the old store for the last time we also were able to run around and pick out mannequins for us to take home. I couldn't believe my luck and I wish I would have grabbed a few more for friends but here are my new babies :) 

Excuse the mess, I'm currently trying to get my room in order.

I've been using the one with polka dots for my purses and the other for my scarves :) 

Also my birthday past last week and I'm trying to prepare a Haul/Birthday Video to post on here. Not sure when but I will try too soon!
