Water Marble Nails Gone Wrong

Am I the only person that just discovered water marble nail art? While on youtube of course, I came across a tutorial on how to do designs by putting drops of nail polish in water then dipping your finger into the pattern. Looks and sounds easy right?  I was like owwww I have got to try this! Here is a video so you guys can get a visual:

So yeah I tried it and I followed the steps like they said and yeahhh it didn't look good to me (or anyone else except my Dad lol)  LOOK!

This is a hot ass mess! lol I used China Glaze polish and some colors dissolved well in the water and then again I was being impatient and trying to get a good angle and blah blah. It was pretty messy because I didn't use enough tape to cover my fingers. So I took this water marble off my nails and did something else. Here it is:

Now I like this design! I used China Glaze in white for the base and a the blue was used with the polish with the small brush, I think it's called Stripes or something idk. Will you guys ever try to water marble design? One day I will do it again and be successful!

MAC makeover

Last weekend I went to Dillards to get a new bottle of perfume and started exploring the different makeup counters. I came across the MAC counter and the makeup artist at the counter looked awesome! She had bold blue eye shadow on so I was like oww can you do mine! lol The last time anyone has ever done my makeup was when I was like 12 and I looked dead.

So I sat down and had fun getting a mini makeover. The catch? You have to purchase $50 in products. THAT'S EASY AS PIE to do at MAC. So I did it...Here is what I looked like after my makeover lol ***for a closer view click the pictures***

I really don't like the caked on look and to me it looks like too much. I suppose it's because I'm not into loud makeup. I loved the eye shadow she used on my eyes though and the lip gloss. Here are the items I ended up buying that she used.

The foundation is NW45, the Paint Pot is Groundwork, and the Lustreglass is Beaux. Now today I was a little scared to used the foundation because I didn't want to look like a cake again lol But the color is actually THE BUSINESS on me lol. And the Paint Pot really made my eye shadow POP! I really enjoyed my makeover. Here is my look today.

It evened out my skin tone and looks more natural. Maybe the next time I go get something done I'll do something BOLD! What do you guys think?

New shoes!

I went to the mall today and FINALLY bought the Blue Suede Jessica Simpson platforms :) yayyy! I know I'm late and everybody seems to have a blue suede shoe but dang it I got them now! I'm now looking for a nice chocolate brown wedge sandal but they are just so hard to find! Okay tell me what you guys think!

I think I'm like 6'0 in these shoes :) Now I need to figure out what I'm going to wear with them. Any suggestions?

I've been thinking...

I've been thinking lately that maybe I should do different posts weekly with all my different shoes! I mean that was part of my idea when I first started this blog as well as show shoes that I can't afford as well as ones that I'd definitely buy. Do you guys care to see what shoes are in my closet? I know someone does! This is going to be one of my missions to complete!

Oyin Handmade Order

I finally ordered a product that I've heard so much about! There are so so many different products to choose from but I decided to give Oyin Handmade a try. I ordered their sample set which consists of the Honey Hemp Conditioner, Whipped Pudding Cream, Shine and Define Styling Serum, and the Greg Juice Leave In which came to $17.50 plus like 3 or 4 dollars for shipping.

First off I was amazed that it only took like 2 or 3 days for me to receive my order! Another thing that I like about the products is the smell! The whipped pudding smells like cocoa- cocoa and the shine and define serum smells like skittles!! The other 2 have a citrus scent going on. The only thing I have not used yet is the conditioner. I used the other 3 products for bantu knots and they turned out pretty nice. I'll be washing my hair in the next hour or so when I stop being lazy :) so I'll use all the products on freshly washed hair and tell you all how it went for me.

Has anyone else tried Oyin Handmade products? What were your thoughts? Isn't it HARD to pick just ONE product line at a time!?!

Happy Birthday To Me!

Twists with Flexi- Rods

Thursday night I decided to try something else with my hair. My hair was already stretched out from twists so all I did was wet my hair a little, used my Carols Daughter Hair Butter which I've had for almost 2 years lol (not fond of the smell) and shea butter. I put medium sized two strand twists in followed by Flexi- Rods. Here are the results....

I think it turned out PRETTY AWESOME! lol I didn't sit under the dryer and like I stated before, there was no way possible for me to sleep on those things lol But it turned out pretty nice! I will definitely visit this style again. I'm also learning how my hair works when attempting styles. This look wouldn't look like this on freshly washed hair, only on already stretched out hair so I'll try that more often.
