Mini detoxes

I wanted to share with you some min detoxes that came to me in my january birchbox.                                            MINI DETOXES          YOUR MIND:  Turn off your computer, iphone or blackberry one hour before bed. You'll sleep soundly and wake up sunny, not stressed.         YOUR RELATIONSHIPS: Send your grandma a  handwritten note, give your little sis a call, or tell a colleague they're doing a great job.         YOUR CLOSET: Take out anything that makes you fell less-than-awesome and donate it to a charity like Dress  for Success.         YOUR DIET: Cut out processed foods for a few days. Focus on fruits, veggies, whole grains, and plenty of dark chocolate.         YOUR BATHROOM CABINET: Check expiration dates and throw out any products past their prime. I hope that you enjoyed these and give them a try.  

Call me Iridescnet nail color

Image
I got this nail color in January's MyGlam bag.                                            First i do like this color but to be honest with you , It could  have a little bit more pink in the color and i would be happy. I also should say that i dont leave any nail color on for more than 3 days tops. I left  this on for two and it was still not chipping.                                        I also have to say that this product was a little hard to get off. I used my acetone to get it off and i still had to scrub a little to get the glitter off.

Freeman Cuccumber peel-off masque

Image
I got this product is the January MyGlam bag. I have to admit that i have never tried a peel-off masque until i tried this product. What they say-- Nourish, hydrate and replenish with these peel-off masks that leave skin with a gorgeous glow.                                            This is what the product looks like and the smell. OMG I love the smell of cucumbers. This is right after i applied it. You leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes or until dry. You can tell when it is getting drier because it feels like your face is getting stiff. If that makes sense at all. I keep mine on for 10 minutes.                                             This was as i was peeling off the mask. My thoughts-- I love the smell of this. I also noticed that my skin was smoother and felt great after using this mask. I do recommend that if you dont have this, to get it. I use masked twice a week. They really do help your skin look and feel better.

notd plus a little haul

Image
Just did an awesome look that i wanted to share with you. I used the imPress press on manicure. I am totally in love with this system. i mean they are so easy to use and take off. They come in so many different designs. I was wanting to do a similar look to the one the Nicole Scherzinger wears. She wears  control freak and then as a contrast is wearing space cadet. I have to mention that i love the names that they have given  these. Some of the names are  Totally Busted, Hottie, Shout, Wink Wink and so many more.                                              I am wearing Control Freak and dancing queen. On another note. I wanted to share with you this cute pen that i picked up at my local dollar tree.                                           Love pink and love bling. This has both. I hope that everyone has had a great weekend. I hope you enjoyed the nail look and the little haul.
