October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Today marks the start of Breast Cancer Awareness month! Cancer is a serious issue for me because it has affected so many individuals in my family. I would honestly do everything in my power to help out the cause.

In this post I'm going to highlight three amazing causes which you should support:
Rethink Breast Cancer, a charity that speaks to the needs of young women, has collaborated with top beauty, fashion, and lifestyle companies to design products where proceeds benefit breast cancer education,support and research programs. From nail polish and hair products to bracelets and watches, we encourage looking good for a cause this October! 

Elegant Touch - Envy Wraps & Bling Review

I am not a stranger to nail wraps. 
It's the quickest and easiest way to do your nails without any hassle.

I recently got my hands on some products from the Elegant Touch nail line that sells at Ulta in USA. 
I loved the designs and decided to try them out on my mom.
These wraps are shiny and totally fashionable. 

I loved the effect but I'm on the fence about the product.
Here are my pros & cons:

Pro:
  • Fashionable prints
  • No drying/smudging time
  • Straight forward directions on application.
Con:
  • Not individually packaged.
    The wraps are all on one sheet. If you have a curvy nail bed, its hard to measure which wrap is for you. I kept on applying a bigger or smaller wrap which didn't fit her nail. Smaller sizes left a gap and the bigger ones bunched at the sides.

  • Both sides of the Nail file are rough.

  • Not suitable for Really long nails.
    I'd recommend these for short to short/medium lengths.

Overall, I think I will try them again with a few modifications. I'm going to cut the wraps off the sheet, get a milder nail file and use them on myself when I have short nails. I also have another idea of cutting themup  and making them super funky nail art. I know its extra work but I love the prints and I want to try them again.

Am I crazy for trying a product again that I'm on the fence about?

Make Up For Ever Aqua Rouge #8 Love!


Do you remember my post on the Make Up For Ever Aqua Rouge #8 launch? I loved the color but wasn't sure that I could wear it. It looked awesome on Gina Brooke but how would it look on me!

My bf and I had a date night a couple weeks ago and I knew that this would be the perfect time to try it out.

I loved it! It didn't budge at all for the whole night. I ate, drank and talked my head off. Left the restaurant with my lip color in tact... SCORE! 

This is everything a lip stain/ lipstick should be. I can't wait to try out new colors from the aqua line!
 Would you wear this color?
