I recently started using a new nail polish and I'm so happy with it, I had to share. I first saw it on The Today Show during one of their Beauty segments.
It's Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear and it's only $2.50!
I know these pics are a little dark, but when I tried to edit them, it changed the actual colors too much and I wanted a more real representation here.
They said it lasted the longest in their tests and for me, it lasted almost 2 weeks before starting to chip. That's amazing, considering how hard I am on my nails, but it lasted right through multiple house cleanings.
From right to left: 279 Pink Punk, 169 Bare It All, 229 Giant Peach, and 189 Mauve over.
Now this is the color I was really impressed with, 169 Bare It All...
I have tried almost every "bare nails" or "nude" look color out there and they're all either too pink or too white. I'm telling you, this one is the winner!
I don't think I've shared this yet, but I just started using bronzer a few months ago and love this one...
e.l.f. bronzer in "Golden" color. This one will set you back about $3 at Target. I read once that you're supposed to lightly apply it to your forehead, temples, hollow of your cheek, nose, chin and jawline, so that's what I do.
This is the brush I use to apply it...
e.l.f. Ultimate Blending Brush $6 at Target.
And now my new favorite mascara. It's Loreal Voluminous Lash Paradise...
With our humidity, we have to be careful with mascara. I use waterproof, but it can still leave little dots under my eyebrows from the mascara getting humid and when I look up, my mascara leaves those dots by my brow bone. But not with this one. I was so impressed that I went all summer without the dreaded "dot under the eyebrow" look. Oh and FYI, wearing eye shadow helps with the dots too. It forms a little barrier on your skin and helps to keep the mascara on your eye lashes. Especially in humid climates, mascara is more apt to stick to a bare eyelid than to one with a layer of powdered eye shadow.
While we're talking eye shadow, I'm still using this one...
e.l.f. Mad For Matte in "Nude Mood." $10
And that's if for now. Thanks for stopping by!

elf is a favorite around here...my kids love it. And at those prices, I am happy to supply them with it!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely going to try that nail polish! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe polish colors are so pretty. My oldest loves Elf. I have switched all mine to natural products, but most of theirs get fairly good ratings when looking at ingredients.
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI love Elf products and use many of them. The price is right. I am going to look into that nail polish too. You should be a spoksperson for these companies lol! Happy Halloween.

Thanks for sharing!! I enjoy beauty segments. We all like when girlfriends share what beauty tips are working for them... unless you're a supermodel who thinks that someone is after her job! LOL !! Elf AND Sally Hansen.... can't go wrong!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you like these posts, as I love doing them. I'm always glad to share a tip or two. :)
DeleteWhen my friend had makeup applied by a pro for her daughter's wedding, the pro used elf products - said it was one of the best! thanks
ReplyDeleteI love that! I've always thought elf products were just as good as the more expensive brands. :)
