What I wore: August, September, October 2015 (Spam!)

Hey guys! I have another WAY over due post! I haven't been blogging as much over the past couple months (aside from swatching) because I've been busy with stuff around the house. And we recently joined our YMCA (finally!) so I've been taking some yoga classes trying everything possible to get my issues with my neck and shoulders worked out. I think....I know it will help me in the long run but I'm still in the beginning stages of everything hurting all the time always. ugh! So its another thing pulling me away from the computer. I have a new planner and I'm trying to work out a schedule of fitting in all the thing I want to be doing! First world problems, I know. Back in August I was planning on doing a little end of the month summary of the polishes I've been wearing when I'm not swatching (still trying to use so many untrieds!) so I could document them here. Fast forward to December and I still haven't posted them here! Sooooo I just decided to combi...

Rimmel "Keep Calm" Lip Balms Review

Image
Hey guys! I have a non-nail post today! I plan on mixing in more non-nail/lifestyle posts in the new year, that was my intention all along when I formally switched my blog over to a mostly nail blog! Rimmel sent me their new tinted lip balms a little while ago and I've been testing them out and wearing them comparing them to my favorite current lip balms, the Fresh Sugar lip treatments and the NYX Butter lip balms. And now.... Here are the 5 colors (the entire collection I believe) they sent me: Keep Calm Lip Balms From left: Keep Calm and Shop (010) Clear Keep Calm and Kiss (020) Pink Blush Keep Calm and Play (040) Rose Blush Keep Calm and Rock (030) Berry Blush Keep Calm and Party (050) Violet Blush Here is my current collection of Sugar balms...before your jaw hits the ground they are minis! I don't have any full size, I tend to grab the little mini packs when they are available! For the price of around 2 full size balms I got this set of 5 minis in a...

China Glaze Cheers! Collection comparisons

Image
Hey guys! I have a few comparisons for you today! I really love doing comparisons and looking at other's comparison blogs! Today I have 3 comparisons for China Glaze Cheers! collection  for  Holiday 2015 that stood out to me immediately when I got them. If you are curious about any others let me know in the comments and I will put them in my schedule if I have them! First up is Peppermint to Be. This immediately reminded me of Ahoy! They did look very similar in the bottle but on the nail Ahoy is much more pink and Peppermint to Be is much more red...but the formula on them is almost identical! This is 2 coats of each.  Peppermint to Be comparison I swear these looked way more similar in real life!  bottle comparison Next is I Soiree I Didn't Do It. Its a green glitter in a light green jelly base. This reminded me IMMEDIATELY of Atlantis! I'm so glad I have this CG-I picked it up randomly one day in a grocery store not knowing then how hard to find it is!...

China Glaze Cheers! Holiday 2015 Collection swatches and review

Hey guys! If you don't follow me on Twitter or Instagram (links to the right!) then you don't know about the plague on my house for the past month! I've been battling bronchitis (constant coughing....constant) and my littlest was really sick with a sinus infection and then a virus that had him (and me) benched for a week :( Even though we weren't all better we traveled over Thanksgiving and then as soon as we got back another kid and Mr. Aggies got sick, and my cough got worse! I've been to a doctor's office more times in the past 4 weeks than I care to mention. bleh! We all seem to be getting back in the swing of things, we are all ready to be healthy again! I've had this collection for a few weeks but it has just been impossible for me to get to them until this week-which I HATE and have been really feeling terrible about. But now here they are yay! I do have a couple comparisons and I was going to include them here but there's so many pictures alrea...
