OPI & Fall Nails

Every since ULTA has opened a store about 5 minutes away from my house, I've been obsessed with spending my money there. It's really hard to find OPI Nail Polish in regular stores, so when ULTA opened with a huge selection of colors, I absolutely fell in love! A couple of reasons OPI has been my go-to nail polish:

• The color doesn't fade
• The polish stays on for up to 10 days (with normal touch ups and a good quality top coat)
• There are a million colors to choose from! OPI comes out with a new collection every few months, or normally every season.

Some colors that have been GREAT for fall, according to beauty gurus everywhere, and OPI themselves with their recent collections include:

• You Don't Know Jacques!

• Lincoln Park After Dark

• Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees



• And my FAVORITE: Ski Teal We Drop

I've worn Ski Teal We Drop for the past three weeks, ever since I bought it. Granted, as I'm typing this, my nails are drying in Elephantasic Pink...

Yes, warm and dark colors are perfect for fall, but I'm still so in love with this freshly bright color that I couldn't resist! I'm such a bubbly person that it almost feels unnatural to NOT have something pink on at all times!

This Product NOT Recommended: Mary Kay Eye Makeup Remover

So after editing my September favorites video, in which I talked about makeup remover wipes, I realized that I cut out the part where I asked for suggestions for a good makeup remover.

 I've gone through two bottles of Mary Kay's Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover, and I've learned that I absolutely cannot stand it any longer! I need something much much better. Let me point out a few things about why I don't like this product at all:

• Yes, this makeup remover removes your eye makeup, but not before smearing it all over your face.  I look more like a racoon after I use it than before. Isn't that defeating the purpose?
• On the bottle it says it's oil-free, but after using it, I normally have to wipe my face with a wet towel to get that oily feeling off my face.
• It says that it doesn't dry the skin, which is true. But it does dry out my eyes. Worst of all, it pushes all of my eyeliner into my eye, so when I open it and look at them, I can see black specks on the whites of my eyes. I'm not entirely sure how safe that is?

You get the point, don't you?  I'm almost out of my bottle, and I need to find a new one desparately!  Most of you know that I don't go a day without putting eye makeup on, so I need something fast.  Any suggestions? Post them below and I'll let you know which one I end up trying! :)

EuroNext Hair Extensions

Thumbs up for my first blog entry! :)

So as most of you know from my videos, I have hair that's a little bit past my shoulders. My high school's homecoming is the last weekend in October, and I really wanted to do something nice with my hair. Well, I came to figure that my hair is obnoxiously too short for me to do anything like I wanted with it. I wanted something long and curly and gorgeous, but I just couldn't get that with my short hair. So I decided to splurge for the occasion and get some clip-in human hair extensions.

So this morning, I went to Sally's Beauty Supply and took a good, long, hard look at all the options... I had never seen so much hair in one place in my life. There were so many colors, lengths, and brands that I had no idea where to start. I knew that I definitely wanted human hair, because you can do so much more with it, including using hot tools on them such as straighteners and curlers. I ended up choosing the EuroNext Hair Extensions ($79.99).

These will last you a long time as well; you shampoo and condition them just like regular hair, but only after 3 or 4 uses, depending on how dirty they get when you wear them. Putting in these extensions is super easy as well, which is a major plus! I even laid them all out for you, just so you could get a good look at them.

As soon as I got home from Sally's I straightened my hair and put in the extensions. I was amazed at how long and full my hair looked! The color matched my hair perfectly and blended really well with my natural hair. The extensions were super soft and I got so many compliments on my hair. I wore the extensions for the rest of the day (even to work) and didn't have to worry about them once. Overall, the price was definitely worth it. I'll be wearing these a lot and they'll last me forever! Let me know if you think I should do a tutorial. :)
