Diamond Candles Blogger Opportunity!

Hi!
So I have an announcement for you fellow bloggers out there who read my blog! Apparently, Diamond Candles, a company who specializes in candles that have rings inside them of varying values, is offering the first 100 bloggers who apply, the opportunity to receive, review, and giveaway some of their products!

I've tried Diamond Candles once a long time ago, and I can tell you first hand, they are GREAT! I had a coconut candle that smelled AMAZING, lasted FOREVER, and had an awesome ring in it.

Frankenstein Nails for Halloween 2014

Good morning lovelies! I've been trying for WEEKS to figure out what kind of Halloween nails I wanted to do this year... and tonight I think I've finally decided on Frankenstein/Bride of Frankenstein nails! :) 

Now, forewarning, I'm not like super awesome at nail art or anything, but I can tell a BIG improvement from last year, and Halloween is my favorite time to do cutesy things with my nails! :) I still kind of want to figure out how to do some witch nails, or zombie nails.. 

SO without further adieu, HERE THEY ARE in all their not so spooky glory!

For this mani I used:

• China Glaze - I'm With the Lifeguard
• L.A. Colors Black Striper Polish
• Julep - Nicolette
• Julep - Rebel
• Sinful Colors - 24/7
• Pretty & Polished - Matte Topcoat

I've had this China Glaze for awhile now... I have absolutely NO idea why I hadn't used it until now.... because it's basically the most amazing lime green EVER. You can't tell in this picture because I used Instagram filters and whatnot, but here's a picture of it in all it's amazing glory pre-cleanup and pre-franken-nails!

Lime green WHAT!? This is with my matte topcoat over it, but it didn't really need it, as it's super neon and kind of matte already. I love it so much, like if I could only pick on polish color for the rest of my life, I'd definitely pick this one! What do you think?!

Okay so ANYWAY, this is a super easy mani to do, if you want a real tutorial, I can make one for you, so just comment if you do and I'll make a pictorial. :) I'd be happy to! I haven't made one in ages, and I kind of love making them!! 

Directions:

1. Paint nails your base green color.
2. After that's dry, on your three non accent nails, using a black polish and striper brush, make stick marks randomly over the nail. Two will probably suffice, as some of mine have three and look messy-ish.
3. Next, on the nails you want to be Frankensteins, paint in the hair using the same striper brush. I made my Franken... Man have squared off hair, and the Bride of Frankenstein have her classic big hair.
4. Next I drew on the mouth of my Frankenstein using the same stitch type design as the non-accent nails.
5. I let that dry for a minute to avoid smearing as much as possible, then used a larger dotting tool and my white polish (Nicolette) to dot on the eyes. I definitely had shaky hands last night when I did these and one of my eyes got a little wonky.. so be careful!
6. Then I used a small dotting tool to dot in the eyes with black.
7. Add the silver (Rebel) zig-zag streak to Bride of Frankenstein's hair.
8. Draw on pink (or whatever color) bow, and you're done with your nail art! Unless you want Bride of Frankenstein to have little eyelashes and a nose like mine, in which case you can paint those on whenever.
9. Topcoat and DONE! I used matte topcoat over these just because I'm out of regular. lol But either would probably look awesome!

SO yeah! Super easy semi-tutorial for your Sunday!

Anyone have any wicked awesome Halloween inspired manis to share?! I'd love to see them! I did some candy corns, ghosts, and pumpkins last year I think! I love Halloween Nail Art!!

Top 10 Favorite Nail Polish Colors for Fall 2014

So I've decided to compile a list of my top ten favorite nail polishes this fall. It's usually pretty hard for me to make these lists, since there's just SO many that I absolutely LOVE, but I'm going to try my best! :) Let me know what yours are too in the comments!! I'd love to see/hear about them! I'm all for finding new shades and brands! I may even have a blog sale soon too!

1. Zoya - Nail Polish Pixie Dust Collection

For some reason as soon as fall hits, I always start using my pixie dusts. Not necessarily this collection, but I really like to use Carter and Chita! These are great! :)

Zoya - Nail Polish Pixie Dust Collection Summer 2013 Edition - $49.41, 4.99 shipping - Available at Amazon.com Marketplace

2. Zoya - Matte Velvet Top Coat .5 oz

I also really like to rock the matte nails during fall. I have lime green matte nails right now, and my favorite way to accomplish it is with a matte topcoat. Zoya has a really nice one and so do some other companies. That way instead of having just one or two colors, you can have ANY matte color! :)

Zoya - Matte Velvet Top Coat .5 oz - $10.00, 4.57 shipping - Available at Amazon.com Marketplace

3. butter LONDON - Nail Lacquer in Bric a Brac

Fall is a great time to break out your reddish browns, and darker colored glitters! Here's a super pretty color from Butter London, that I don't have, but I need.
butter LONDON - Nail Lacquer in Bric A Brac - $15.00, Free shipping - Available at Revolve Clothing

4. Essie - Fall 2014 Collection 6 Bottle Set

Or, better yet check out the Essie 2014 fall collection! I actually just started using Essie, and I really like it. The fall collection looks pretty sweet and has everything from red, grey, brown and blue. They are all super nice colors! I really dig the grey one. These are a nice choice if you don't like shimmers, plus you can get them at the drug store!

Essie - Fall 2014 Collection 6 Bottle Set When I'm Buttoned Up, I Always Dress To Kilt Lacquer Nail Polish 0.46floz - $28.99, Free shipping - Available at Amazon.com Marketplace

5. Sassy - Glow in the Dark Nail Polish 

Halloween is just around the color!! I love to use Glow in the dark nail polish for Halloween and catch myself using it year after year! :) It's fun for kids too

Sassy - Glow in the Dark Nail Polish Nail Care - $4.99, 1.99 shipping - Available at Amerimark Direct

6. butter LONDON - Nail Lacquer in Burnt Orange

Here's a really pretty burnt orange color from Butter London. This reminds me of leaves and would be really awesome for some nail art!
butter LONDON - Nail Lacquer in Burnt Orange Burnt Orange Female all - $15.00, Free shipping - Available at Revolve Clothing

7. butter LONDON - Nail Lacquer, British Racing Green, .4 fl oz

Time to break out the dark green polishes!! British Racing Green is a super great choice, as well as Jack the Lad! Check em out!

8. Zoya - Natural Nail Polish - Dream - ZP686

Zoya - Dream is probably my favorite polish ever. Great for every season, but especially fall since it's a dark, shimmery blue color. LOVE it!

Zoya - Natural Nail Polish - Dream - ZP686 - $9.00, See Site shipping - Available at LuckyVitamin.com

9. Color Club - Nail Polish, Brown, Feverish, .05 Ounce

Fall is a great time to try out unusual colors that you wouldn't normally pick. Like brown. I've actually got a couple browns now in my collection and I think they're pretty cool. They're versatile, a great alternative for black, and great for nail art! Because you never know when you're going to need to paint an owl, and you don't want to be like oh crap, where's brown!?
Color Club - Nail Polish, Brown, Feverish, .05 Ounce - $3.75, 6.95 shipping - Available at Amazon.com Marketplace

10. Glitter Gal Purple Duo Chromes Nail Polish- Distorted Platinum

Purple chromes seem to be another one of my go-tos for fall. I love purple in general, but chrome seems weird to use until it gets kind of cold outside in my opinion. Almost a winter color, but not quite! :)

Glitter Gal - Glitter Gal Purple Duo Chromes Nail Polish- Distorted Platinum - .5 Fluid Ounce (15ml) Bottle - $15.00, 1.00 shipping - Available at Amazon.com Marketplace

So! Those are my favorites! What are some of yours!?

Bioque Rejuvenating Day Cream Review!

Hi everyone!! I hope you all had a FANTASTIC weekend! I've been a little under the weather myself, but am feeling a bit better now, and have TONS of reviews to bring you!

Tonight I'm reviewing a day cream from a company called Bioque. This has been on my list at Tomoson for some time now, and I actually totally forgot that I had it, but now it's found and I'm ready to review!

Here's a picture for your viewing pleasure:

I was actually pretty stoked to get this one, as I usually only get to review nighttime moisturizers, and this is pretty much the only "daytime" moisturizer that I have in my stash. Of course you can totally use it at night too, but it makes your skin feel super refreshed upon application, so it's perfect for when you wake up in the morning!!

This moisturizer is made to pretty much stop aging in it's tracks. It is supposed to minimize the appearance of dry, fine lines and dullness in your face, and from what I can tell, it does just that! I apply this cream after using a vitamin C serum and eye cream to my entire face and neck, and massage it in using circular motions. You don't really have to use all that much of it, as it spreads out nice and evenly and is really... moist? I guess that's the best word I can use. It's kind of "jelly" like, rather than creamy, and sinks into your skin super fast. It leaves me feeling tighter, refreshed, and kind of tingly-like to be honest. I really enjoy the experience. I've had no issues using this before makeup application either, and it doesn't seem to interfere with how long my foundation stays on. PLUS in my book!

It's supposed to bring nourishment to your cells by having a botanical and peptide filled formula, while making your skin feel more youthful and moisturized. Apparently, you can also use it on the back of your hands to reduce aging there as well! The website says you should use it with their night cream for the best results, however I don't have it, so I just use my regular night cream and vitamin C/ hyaluronic acid combo, and my skin seems to be doing just fine!

If you'd like to find out more about this product you can CLICK HERE. It retails on their website for about $45 and is a really great day cream if you're looking for something new! Bioque also has a 60 day 100% money back guarantee! Can we say BONUS!?

Later!

Body Merry Age Defense Eye Cream Review!

Tonight I bring you my review of Body Merry's Age Defense eye cream. I'm always excited to test out any new eye cream, so I was quick to apply for this promotion on Tomoson!
Here's a photo for your reference brought to you by the company.

Overall, my experience with this product has been pretty pleasant. Unlike alot of the eye products I've tested out, this one is definitely truly a cream. Most of the ones I've been sent to review have been gels, so it was definitely nice to try it out. It's packaged in a pretty large container and has a nice pump which makes it easy to apply. One pump does the trick for each eye, and I generally apply it at night, and before I do my makeup if I'm going anywhere, then use a moisturizer on top of it.

I like that you can use this underneath makeup, and it doesn't mess with the wear of your eyeliner or shadow. That's basically a must have for me in any type of eye cream since I wear abnormal amounts of eyeliner on the daily. I basically wear the crap in my sleep.

As for how it works, I never really see that amazing of results with any eye cream. However it seems to reduce my dark circles, which are usually really awful, well enough so that I can cover them with makeup. It seems to sink in my skin rather quickly, and is unscented for those of you who have sensitive skin! The ingredients of this product include two different peptides, hyaluronic acid, and retinol, all of which are great for you skin and have anti-aging qualities to boot! It's got tons of other great all natural ingredients like various good for you skin oils, and my personal favorite green tea! 

If you'd like to find out more about this fantastic eye cream make sure and visit them HERE.

More reviews later tonight, I have a bunch to catch up on!

And make sure and enter my giveaway HERE if you haven't already!

Holiday Makeup Looks for Everyone!

Golds, plums, greens, and blues are all in this season for eye shadow colors, and are among my favorite colors to use for my brown eyes. Reds and plums are the lip color of choice and long and lush eye lashes are whats hot! Try mixing and matching to see what looks good on you. I personally like a smooth, matte lip and love to use super shimmer gold eyeshadows!! AND Don't forget to use bronzer to avoid looking too pale, since you're probably like me and losing that summer glow, and fast!

Body Merry Cellulite Defense Gel-Cream Review!!

Today, I would like to bring to you a review of an excellent product made by Body Merry!! I've been using this product for a few weeks now and I really like what it has done for my skin!!

Meet their Cellulite Defense Gel-Cream!

Up until I received this to review, I'd never heard of Body Merry, but I've been lucky enough to receive not one but FOUR products of theirs to review and they're all excellent!!

First of all, I love the scent of this product. It has a minty, menthol scent to it, and it's very strong, so if you're sensitive to smells, I wouldn't recommend this product. I'd also add to make sure and don't rub your eyes after you use it. :) It smells kind of like Icy Hot. I love it. I feel like the added menthol in it makes it feel like it's working better on my tummy and thigh flab.

This product name is a pretty good description of what you're going to get. It isn't a cream, but isn't a gel either. It's kind of in the middle of the two, kind of feels like jello, but more creamy, but not quite like pudding! lol If that makes ANY sense at all! :P It comes in a little tub like the one shown above instead of a pump container like you'd expect a Body cream to come in.

As for results, I haven't seen like SUPER amazing results, but I do honestly feel like it's working, but I probably need to use it every day. It does also leave my skin feeling moisturized, and it doesn't make me hot and sweaty like some of the other cellulite creams I've tried, which is a MAJOR plus!!

If you're interested in learning more about this awesome product, have some cellulite or just want your skin to be a little bit tighter, definitely check them out HERE!

Later!

Dr. Song Rosehip Seed Oil Review!

Tonight I have a review of another GREAT product from Dr. Song!! Up until I received this, I'd never even heard of using Rosehip oil, so I was definitely interested in testing this skincare item out!! Here's a picture of the product!!

A little bit about the company if you didn't catch my previous post reviewing their Vitamin C serum:

Dr. Song Medical is a cosmetic laboratory that originally created products for doctors, other professionals, and medical facilities. All of their products are made in the United States and approved by the FDA. With the creation of Amazon, it enabled them to distribute their high quality, professional products to regular consumers like me and you. :) So you know they've got to be super high quality if their making products for doctors! Right?!

Like the Vitamin C serum I reviewed, this is another high quality product!! I love that the ONLY ingredient in it is 100% pure and Organic Rosehip Seed oil, and that its 100% all natural. I don't really care for putting tons and tons of nasty chemicals on my face, and I'm afraid of breaking out since I try out SO many different things every month, so this was pretty much a win for me. This oil is made from extracting the oil out of Rose bush seeds, and it keeps all of it's essential fatty acids in it, so that it's a GREAT moisturizer for your skin! It's super lightweight, not scented at all, it just smells like a really natural moisturizer. It isn't OVERLY greasy, even though it's an oil, and it's really great!

I've used this product as a moisturizer for my face about three times now, and I've seen significant improvement in the peeling that my skin has been experiencing due to the sudden change in the weather here in Georgia. Apparently, you can also use it to heal up your dry and brittle fingernails, and as a moisturizer for your hair! I think I will definitely try using it these ways as well, since my hair is so damaged and so are my nails! I will let you know of my progress!! This comes in a HUGE bottle, and will last me forever! Also, apparently, if you store Rosehip seed oil in the refrigerator, it lasts much longer than if you didn't!

Happy Moisturizing!!

About a month ago I got the opportunity to review the coolest thing! It's called a Nut Milk Bag and you can make your own drinks like Almond Milk, Cashew Milk (Who knew?!), Juices, Cold Brew Coffee, and MORE! Who knew that you could save your precious month just by buying almonds and making Almond milk yourself at home, instead of buying the expensive stuff at the store?! I didn't, and I'm allergic to milk so this is great for me! Here's some photos!

Unlike some cheaper made bags you can buy online, this one by Vita is made with a top quality ultra fine mesh. It's non clogging and lays flat to dry so it doesn't build mold and become unusable! It strains out all the pulp and gunk so you only have to strain things once! Awesome right?!

It's also super easy to make all kinds of different drinks and you don't even have to mess up your blender so spend top dollar on a high end appliance to make your own juices. I also REALLY love my Iced coffee, so the idea of being able to make my own cold brew coffee is amazing! 

AND the BEST part is, if you're new to making your own Nut Milks and using these bags, it comes with a FREE EBOOK to get you started on your trip to DIY milk/juice/coffee making! This recipe guide is filled with tons of delicious sounding recipes that I can't WAIT to try out for myself. Especially the Cashew milk one. I love Almond and Soy milk, but Cashews are my favorite nuts, so I bet I'd like it even better. It's definitely pretty cool in my opinion!

Once I try out some of the recipes, I will post them on here with my opinions on them! I seriously can't wait! The only thing I've tried out so far is making my own coffee, and I, for one, can say that it serious filtered out every grain of coffee, and you really don't have to strain it more than once! It's definitely really awesome!!

Happy October! Maybe I can figure out a way to make some Apple Juice with this thing to make some Apple Cider or something!! YUM!
