OPI Hawaii

I am so beyond obsessed with nail polish, it's not funny! I have well over 50 bottles of OPI alone! When I heard OPI's Spring/Summer collection was going to be Hawaii, I  was super excited! The collection has 12 different shades. I picked out a few shades I thought would look nice on me, and impatiently waited on them to be released.

The shades I chose are:

Hello Hawaii Ya?

Just Lanai-ing Around

Aloha From OPI

That's Hula-rious!

I must say, these 4 colors are beautiful! They really feel like Spring!

Let's start off with Aloha From OPI

This shade is a beautiful, kind of a Coral color. It's very bright! It really gives your nails a bold statement. The formula is very smooth and creamy. This one is my favorite shades. Add a top coat for an even brighter finish.

Up next is That's Hula-rious!

This is a beautiful Mint Green. Very pale! The formula is also creamy but not quite as smooth. It takes at least 2 coats. You have to be careful with this shade, any imperfection is easily visible. It's still a very beautiful color. I will be enjoy this shade, come spring! If your not looking for a matte finish, add a top coat. 

This shade is Hello Hawaii Ya? 

This is a Purple/Grey shade. Very beautiful. The formula is also very creamy and smooth. I really like this shade. It's probably my favorite purple OPI has done. 

Last but not least is Just Lanai-ing Around.

This is a beautiful dusty rose color. The formula is also smooth but not quite as thick as the other 3. The polish has this almost shimmer to it. It's not like a glitter polish! It just has this beautiful shimmer. This shade does need a top coat. 

I did not apply a top coat in any of these pictures. Each shade has 2 coats. 

OPI Obsessed!

 I Think I may have a little bit of a problem!

On that note though, I do have a review coming soon about OPI's new Hawaii Collection, that came out today! I picked up a few....

 I also will have a review up soon on OPI's 50 Shades of Grey collection. I was only able to find 2!

50 Shades of Grey

Better Than Sex...

I got you with the Title didn't I?? What I am talking about is Too Faced, Better Than Sex Mascara. I can hear the disappointment sighs now...

Let me start off with, this Mascara is Amazing! I don't say that very often about products. This mascara really deserves an Amazing.

Let me warn you though, it is super expensive! $23.00 at Ulta. Let's all say this together "Ouch"... Honestly though, Totally Worth it! I do not say that often, I'm a total cheapskate. 

Ha! The inside of the box. 

I don't even know if I can describe this mascara. It's amazing (didn't I already say this?)

The brush is hour glass shaped, which is suppose to separate and curl each lash. It really does do this. It gives you the most full, natural looking eyelashes. It was just amazing...(I guess that's where they get the name from)....

One coat alone will just make your lashes pop. It gives you this dramatic look. There is no flaking like some other brands. This mascara stays on all day long, and looks like you just put it on by the end of the day. It goes on super smooth, and so easy. You will not believe what just 1 coat will do to your lashes. Let alone 2 coats!

If you have never tried this brand, you must run out to the store and get it! I insist. I promise, you will throw away your other mascara.

Clay Mask

I Love masks! Any and Every kind. While doing some shopping online at Ulta, I came across this mask. It's Freeman Facial Clay Mask, in Feeling Beautiful Chocolate & Strawberry. I know your probably thinking Chocolate really? Probably stinks...Oh My! No! It smells Sooooooo Good! I mean Good! It really reminds me of a chocolate milkshake. You can't really smell the strawberry, which is honestly why I bought it. But I can seriously live with out the strawberry smell. The chocolate well makes up for that!

For only $3.99, you get 6 fl. oz. Yes seriously only $3.99. If you use any type of facial mask, you know this is an amazing price! I see this lasting for a very long time. It takes very little to cover your face.


Here are some of the details of the mask, from Ulta's Website:

Details:
This indulgent mask does more than tantalize your taste buds? Tone skin and diminish the appearance of large pores with oil-absorbing clays. Delight in delectable Chocolate and Strawberry while Shea and Cocoa Butter moisturize for smoother, softer skin. Perfect for normal to dry skin.

Key Ingredients:
Shea Butter
Cocoa Butter
Kaolin Clay

Don't Laugh! 

So don't laugh at me, but I had to show you what it looked like on. It's not the most flattering mask you will ever wear, but hey who really cares??

This mask is so amazing. It tingles as you let it harden, and that just feels so wonderful! It only takes about 15 to 20 minutes to dry. When it dries, it becomes like a hard clay. It washes off so easily, so no complaints from me.
It left my skin feeling so smooth and hydrated. This mask is a winner in my book!

Freeman's offers 8 other types of masks for the same price, so I will be looking into those soon. If I can tear myself away from this mask, to try another!

Ipsy Sneak Peek February 2015

I received my sneak peek, email from Ipsy today! I figured it would be something "Love" because of Valentine's Day. I was not very impressed with my bag last month, so hopefully this month will be better! Finger's crossed we will actually get our bags before Valentine's Day!

Here's a look at the February Bag

February's Bag 

Each subscriber will receive 1 full sized item, from the picture below. It looks like one of the NYX eyeliners, a makeup brush, blue glitter nail polish (please not me, I hate glitter nail polish!), an eyelash curler, and I'm not sure what the last item is. The picture was too small for me to read it. Maybe an eye shadow? 

Stay Tuned for more Ipsy Sneak Peaks!

Want to Join Ipsy? Here is the link. 

Ipsy bags are $10 a month, you will receive 4 or 5 sample items.
