As an eye lash extension artist she decided to start her line with eye lash extension products and has quickly branched out to cosmetics, skin care and more.

Maybelline Color Whisper in Lust For Blush

 Okay the final verdict is in. I LOVE THESE LIPPIES!! I bought Maybelline Color Whisper in Go Nude a few weeks ago and really liked the color, texture and formula. You can see my full review here .

 I love coupons and I love that Target lets you stack coupons! I used 2 different coupons and ended up only paying $2.50 for this! Score!! I am going to have find more coupons because I have intentions of buying every single shade they make. I am addicted.

 Once again, the formula is PERFECT. It is so lightweight and as weird as it sounds, it feels GOOD on your lips. It makes rubbing your lips together an enjoyable experience. Good golly, that sounded bad but I am serious. I love how subtle the color is too. This one is pinker than Go Nude but still lends itself to the nude family in my opinion.

 Have you tried Maybelline Color Whisper? If so, what is your favorite shade? I swear, I need them all.

Nails!

Last week on Instagram Michelle Pham posted a picture of a manicure done with a fan brush. I thought it was really pretty so I decided ti try it. First off, these are not my real nails. If you are a reader here, you knew that right. Heehee. I bought a big pack of glue on nails from Rite Aid. I trimmed them down really short. I like doing this for a few reasons, one is the polish doesn't chip off these nails and also it is easier for me to do designs or nail art on these nails before I glue them on. I also prefer the glue on nails to acrylics because the cost is WAY less. I paid roughly $3 and have enough for 2 sets. Each set will last about 2-3 weeks unless I want to change the color. They are also easy to remove and do not damage your nails.

I used a cheap elf fan brush to achieve this design. First I painted my nails white, then dabbed some black polish on the tips of half of the fan brush and slowly, lightly dragged it across the nail. I did the same with the fushia color and then followed up with a coat of glitter and clear.

Sinful Colors Dream On, Sally Hansen Black Out, Klean Colors White, NYC quick dry top coat and Sally Hansen Strobe Light.
