Pure Ice Nail Polish Review!

This is another nail polish I don't think I've ever tried before. I was at Walmart looking at the nail polish. I was hoping to find more selections of Sally Hansen's Triple Shine, but they didn't have that line at all = (. So while I was looking, I saw Pure Ice. There were maybe three colors left and only one of each. I saw Wide Awake and had to have it! It's a glitter polish and I normally don't like those, but I walked around with it in my cart for a while trying to decide if I wanted it or not lol. I decided it was too pretty and too cheap not to have in my collection! lol. It's such a pretty glitter blue. And only $1.97! I'm always afraid the glitter polishes can't be worn by themselves because the glitter comes out all spaced out on your nails. This one doesn't do that though! Probably because the glitter pieces are so small, they cover the whole nail and looks really nice. Even after just one coat.

Spoiled Nail Polish Review!

I don't think I've ever used this nail polish before, but I got one for Christmas! I just got a glitter kind though, so I can't really review how a solid color would stand up. I'm sure price wise, this brand is great! The polish isn't too bad, but I don't really care for glitter nail polishes. Only because they usually feel chunky. This one is no exception, it feels kind of chunky on. It's not a bad top coat though. Sally Hansen is still my go to for nail polish. I don't think I've ever used a better nail polish than her stuff! Spoiled isn't bad though if you like the glitter polishes, and who knows, maybe they have good solid colors too!

Eyes Wide Shut Review!

Yes, I realize this movie is from 1999 lol. However, I was about 10 when it came out, so I saw it for the first time last night. It was on a network that doesn't censor, but it does have commercials. So my first thought is "Holy crap this movie is long!" 3.5 hours with commercials. It was also really confusing. I'm usually pretty good at confusing movies, but this one was just weird. I also lost interest, but tried to stick it out. A lot of the parts were basically just porn. Not that I'm a prude, those parts didn't bother me or anything. This movie was given a 3 star rating by critics. I would give it maybe 1 star. Like I said, I lost interest. It got so boring! He does the same thing every single scene! He's walking the streets of New York and goes to the exact same places. The whole movie was supposed to be about him crashing some weird sex party and people were winding up dead that he talked to and got into trouble. It was incredibly stupid in my opinion. Luckily I didn't really have anything going on last night, so I can't say I lost valuable time lol.

Shoes By Curves Review!

I got some belated Christmas presents today! That included these awesome shoes that Curves makes. My mom ordered them through Avon. These are so cute! I'm not sure if they come in other colors, but these are black with a papaya colored strap and papaya colored zig-zags lines on the toes of the shoes. They're insanely comfortable! They seem to have a lot of support too, which is fabulous! She got them for me to use as work shoes, since I work retail I'm on my feet for long periods of time. The shoes I was using are a year old, so they don't quite support my feet the way they used to lol. My dad also got me Sketchers for work shoes! Yay! I might use my Curves ones to wear when I just go out too. She said they were only around $26! Not bad at all!

Organic Peppermint Scrub Review!

For Christmas my mom decided one of her gifts for people would be a peppermint scrub she made herself. I, of course, was a recipient of one! It's absolutely amazing! She made it with crushed up peppermints, sugar, shea butter, and aloe. I used it on my feet in the shower yesterday. It's quite impressive! The sugar washes right off, but the shea butter and aloe stay put and make you so soft! If you're a "make it yourself" kind of person, you should definitely make your own body scrub! It's just amazing!

Sally Hansen Triple Shine Review! Part 3

I'm doing a part 3 because I went to Target today (though I'm slightly afraid to after 40 MILLION people had their credit/debit and red card info stolen!) I used gift cards though (phew!). So I only had  $15 to work with. I wanted more colors of the Sally Hansen Triple Shine. So I got the last one of Slick Black (it's too beautiful not to own!) and the last one of Dive In. I thought Dive In would be too similar to her Mint Sprint in the Insta-Dri family, but it's actually not. They are pretty similar, but in my opinion, Mint Sprint is more green based and Dive In is more blue based. Luckily the ones they were sold out of were the ones I own already! I also snagged a Triple Shine top coat. I like to use her top coats as my base coat. I'm really excited to try all of my new colors! I've only tried two of them so far, but I'm not disappointed at all! The colors are long lasting and vibrant. They really do seem to be even shinier than regular nail polish. It dries very quickly too. You will not be disappointed if you try them! But as I stated before, be aware of the colors you're picking. Some are meant to be strictly glitter polishes, so they're meant to be layered on top of colored nail polish (or alone, if that's what you like). Also some are just very sheer, so be careful when picking. You know what you like, so if you want a sheer color, pick a sheer one! If you want one that's more opaque, then pick a deeper color.

*I get mine at Target for $4.59. I know Walgreens.com has ALL 29 shades! (I'm super tempted to order some online!) Since Target only carries maybe 10 in the store. I'm curious if Walmart carries them in stores, and if so, how many! Drop me a comment if you've found more varieties at other stores!

DearFoams Slipper Review!

Merry Christmas everyone! I got a pair of DearFoams slippers = ). They're leopard print on the outside and hot pink on the inside. They're boot style, so you can fold down the top so you can see both the leopard print and the hot pink. They're so cute! They're also insanely comfortable and warm. If you have the chance to try them, you should! I don't think I've ever had DearFoams before, but I love them now!
