Matte About You: Matte Nail Polish

Oct 13, 2012

I recently purchased several new nail polish colors and already I am a bit bored with them. So, I took a tip from recent magazine articles and looked into matte nail polish, specifically Essie’s Matte About You matte top coat. This product

works just like a top coat; however, it leaves the nail with a matte, shine- free finish. I decided to try it with a few different colors, ranging

from dark to light, to test which colors look best with a matte finish.

So, I’m one of those girls that has never been able to have ‘shower and go’ hair! And it drives me crazy!! I either have to style it straight or style in wavy/curly! So naturally, I have an unhealthy amount of hair products! What can I say, I like to test the waters!

Dianna Agron’s Golden Globes Makeup Tutorial!

Feb 21, 2012

So I know the Golden Globes are old news now, but I couldn’t get Dianna Agron’s makeup out of my head. It was so simple, yet totally amazing! The second I saw those red lips on the red carpet, I knew I must recreate it! Did you know Temptalia sometimes lists the products that was used on the red carpets? Luckily for me, Dianna’s makeup artist used all L’Oreal products! So the first chance I got, I raced out to Target to get my hands on all of them. But after looking over my makeup collection, I realized I already have some of the products, so I only picked up the lipstick and blush.
