China Glaze "Blonde Bombshell"

After my Nail Polish Collection post, I rediscovered this China Glaze polish called "Blonde Bombshell". I used to be really into glitters, so I decided to give this one another shot.

ELF Small Stipple Brush

After seeing this brush on ELF's site, I knew I had to try it! I love stippling brushes, but sometimes it is hard to find a good one. This brush is always sold out of ELF's website, but I finally found it at Target for $3.

Here is the full brush. When it comes in the packaging, the bristles are squished, so it doesn't look as nice. Once you wash it, the bristles go where they are supposed to go and it looks a lot more proportionate.
 
This is what I really love about this brush. It isn't sparse in the density department. It doesn't have a lot of bristles so you get an airbrushed look, but it has just enough to where you get great coverage. I have been using this brush to apply my under eye concealer and I think it works great for it. It is a little small to apply foundation, but you could if you wanted to!
 
This is the first face brush from ELF that I've tried and I love it! Have you tried any ELF brushes?

China Glaze "Spontaneous"

China Glaze's "Spontaneous" is a gorgeous creme purple. I love any nail polish that is a creme finish because usually the formula is really nice and it is easy to remove the polish.

Psoriasis and Acne: How to Deal and Heal

To most people that have psoriasis, it is a hard topic to talk about. I've decided to blog about my experience because I know it could potentially help someone that is in the same shoes. I had psoriasis about two years ago. It lasted for three to four months until it cleared away. My dermatologist said it was probably due to stress. I started to eat better and as soon as my summer calculus class ended (this was my stress), it started to clear up.
 
Now, I am starting to get psoriasis again. I've noticed it on my hips and especially on my face. The more I try to moisturize my face, the more I started to breakout. I have pictures of what it looked like before and after using a few products that may help you.

A Rediscovered Favorite

I have been trying to go through my nail polish collection and use polishes I haven't tried in a long time. This is China Glaze's "Gelato". I know I have done a post on this before, but I am in love with it all over again!

Julie G Nail Polish "Stiletto"

 
I am in love with another Julie G polish. Seriously, I think I love all of her polishes because the formula is perfect and so is the shape of the brush. This week I wore "Stiletto" and I loved it! It is a gray color, but in the sun it has a lot of shimmer to it.

Good Eats

I thought I would do a fun post with something I haven't blogged about. Food! I love food and I thought I would share with you a few things that I've had in the past few months. Enjoy! :)
 
First up is Whole Foods. This was fresh pasta with a garlic pesto topped with Parmesan cheese. This was absolutely delicious! I had never tried pesto before this point because I was always kind of "scared" of it. But this made me change my mind for sure.

L'Oreal "Orange You Jealous?" Nail Polish

This was the first L'Oreal polish that I've ever purchased. And I have to tell you, I actually really like it. With this being on clearance and with coupons, I think I only paid about two dollars for this. That calls for a great deal!
