Manicure Monday: Pretty & Polished

Manicure Monday: Pretty & Polished

As anyone that knows me knows, nail polish is my favorite hobby, my favorite love, and maybe even my biggest vice. I have more nail polish than I really know what to do with, but I can’t help myself from buying more. I love finding new colors that I’ve never seen before, but that seems […]

A Beauty Review: Lancome Teint Miracle Instant Retouch Pen

A Beauty Review: Lancome Teint Miracle Instant Retouch Pen

LANCÔME Teint Miracle Instant Retouch Pen ($29.50) Oil-free liquid concealer in a pump pen. I’m not ever really a fan of these pump pens, whether it’s for a concealer or a lip gloss or anything.  I don’t like waiting for the product to ooze out of the brush, and I don’t like that I can’t really clean […]

Manicure Monday: Halloweenified

Manicure Monday: Halloweenified

With Halloween coming up, I wanted to make sure this week’s Manicure Monday was spooky! Whether you dress up in full costume for Halloween or not, nail art is a great way to celebrate the holiday.  It’s a simple statement that can make a big impact.  And with Halloween, there are so many different designs […]

Manicure Monday: Feathery Accent

Manicure Monday: Feathery Accent

It’s Manicure Monday once again! I’ve been pulling a lot of inspiration from Pinterest for my manicures lately, whether it’s for the colors, the theme, or the actual design.  Ideas have to come from somewhere, and Pinterest is a great place to go for inspiration of any kind!  I’ve noticed a lot of manicures that […]

A Beauty Review: Lancome L’Absolu Nu

A Beauty Review: Lancome L’Absolu Nu

LANCÔME L’Absolu Nu in Red Chiffon ($29) A bright, shimmery red lipstick. LANCÔME L’Absolu Nu in Beige Tulle ($29) A sheer taupe-y beige. As a college student on a budget, I am a firm believer that many drugstore brands can be just as good as high-end brands.  I have to say, though, that money is well spent on LANCÔME L’Absolu […]

Manicure Monday: Art Deco

Manicure Monday: Art Deco

With fall in full swing – when the weather is cooperating – it’s time to transition to autumn-inspired beauty looks.  Darker hues and deep metallics are big trends for this season, but it can be hard to leave the bright, fun manicures of last season behind. I created this week’s Manicure Monday to combine summer’s […]

A Beauty Review: Milani HD Advanced Lip Color

Milani HD Advanced Lip Color in Candy Apple and Ignition ($8.99) Ignition is a coral red, and Candy Apple is a true red.  Both colors go on sheer and shiny. This is the perfect lipstick for people who don’t like lipstick.  Why?

Manicure Monday: Neon Brights

Happy Manicure Monday, beauty lovers! I wanted today’s manicure to be fun and different.  Something that looks difficult, but really isn’t.  You can’t get a complicated-looking manicure using only one color (I don’t think!), so the key to this mani is using a lot of bright colors that stand out against each other.  Love this […]
