L'oreal Colour Riche Nail Polish Review

While at the drug store this weekend, I had the pleasure of picking up a L'oreal Colour Riche nail polish in the shade, 'Not a cloud in sight'.


As you can see, this is a very vibrant, bright blue color which is great for the spring and summer.  This reminds me of a pool :)

This is what the color looked like on the first day of application:




After only applying two coats, you can tell that this polish has yielded a very shiny, thick coat.  This polish also claims to last ten days--so far, so good ! I highly recommend this product because it is comparable to nail polishes like OPI or Essie, for a much lower price.

Homemade Sushi

Yesterday I decided to take on the task of making homemade sushi.  This is partly driven because I dont want to have to buy the sushi and because it is way cheaper to make at home ! Yum !

In order to make the sushi, I had to buy a bamboo sushi mat, sushi rice, rice vinegar, and nori (seaweed).  For the fillings, I used cucumber, avocado, and imitation crab.


Here was the final product...


The key is to have a very sharp knife--cutting the rolls was the part I struggled with the most ! Anyway, enjoy ! xoxo

Dead Sea Mud Mask Review

Hello everyone ! I am back with another review, this time of the amazing Pure & Essential Minerals brand dead sea mud mask.


This mask has minimal scent, which is great, and goes on silky smooth.  The consistency of the mask is somewhat liquidy, but I found this useful because before applying it, it didnt seem as if it would dry out my skin.  There are a variety of oils in this mask, including shea butter, aloe vera, and jojoba oil among others.  The best part about this is that all of the ingredients are organic ! :)

 
 This is what the mask looks like on, and I left it on for roughly 10 minutes before taking it off.  Something else that I really liked was how upon applying the mask, I could feel the grains from the mud exfoliating my face.  This seems like a GREAT product for the summer because it will help exfoliate and provide the skin with nutrients to help restore it from the harsh sun.



After taking the mask off, the pores on my face appeared smaller, and my skin was also nicely moisturized and exfoliated:



I will definitely be doing this mask every week ! An overall amazing product.  You can buy this here:

Here is also a review/demonstration of this product that I did:

Possible DIY projects

Hello all ! :) Recently I've been looking at some really awesome DIY projects that I would like to try and adapt. I figure this is the best way to express myself while also saving on some awesome products (broke college kid status). I've been sewing for years now and figure now is better than ever to put my skills, and sewing machine, to use.

Some of the things that I am thinking about making/and am inspired by include:

1. http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=14421&vid=1&pid=407890012 I really like this bag, and based on some research I have been doing I'd like to recreate it with faux leather.

Weekend Beauty Freebies

Hello everyone !

This weekend I had the pleasure of picking up two different beauty freebies.  Luckily, I celebrate my birthday in the month of March, so I was able to receive my birthday gift from Sephora.  I received the Benefit 'Real Birthday Turn-Ons' mini set, which includes a mini 'They're Real!' mascara and Watt's Up ! Highlighter.

My favorite thing about this set is definitely the mascara.  Little did I know, this mascara is the number one mascara of something--and I can really see why.  Even with one layer of this mascara on, you can definitely see the difference immediately.  I also really like the long lasting ability of this product without the stick residue that volumizing mascaras tend to leave after the day is over.

The highlighter is nice for those who wear little makeup--I kind of feel that whenever I put it on, I can barely see it.  I think this would work better on a summer day when I'm not wearing much foundation but want a little extra something.  The product itself is not heavy whatsoever and provides a slight shimmer if enough is layered.  I was a little disappointed with the size of this sample, it is extremely small !




After my trip to Sephora, I headed over to MAC where I traded in six empty product bottles to qualify for the Back-To-MAC program.  In desperate need of a nude lipstick, I picked up 'Freckle Tone' (lustre) and absolutely love it !
