Revlon- Royal Cloak

Hey guys! Today's post is Revlon-Royal Cloak! Which of now is my favorite Revlon polish ever!
I'm not a big fav of Revlon polishes honestly, At least from the 5 or so I have. They are just runny and sheer, and mostly not a good consistency imo.

But this one is awesome! It still look three coats but it is so worth it! It dried fast in between coats, and it is so pretty! Plus I love the name! Being a wow nerd and a Harry Potter one, how could I not love a polish with cloak in the name?!

This polish is packed full of glitter, there is silvery flaked looking glitter. Not flakies but flaked pieced of glitter if that makes sense! They are irregular which looks really neat!
And then there is tons of silver microglitter! Maybe some purple microglitter too but it is hard to tell!

I am bad at narrowing down pictures, and I know most of these look the same (which makes it so hard to choose!) But I am just going to leave them lol!

I hope you all have a lovely day! <3 Heading to Sally's later when my husband gets home :D  I'm excited i haven't been in a while!

More Madd Style Cosmetics! Eyeshadow Samples!

I had to get some of these samples from Madd Style Cosmetics, because I love my other ones I purchased from them! I wish I had gotten better pictures, I don't feel these give all the colors 100% justice, they just sparkle to great in person! All the swatches are done dry, but they pop even more when you apply them wet or with a mixing medium!

It costed $4.00 for these 5 samples, along with $2.00 for shipping, so $6.00 total.
You can buy Madd Style Cosmetics HERE.

Orly-Fowl Play Swatches!

Hey guys! I have been wanting this since it came out!
Orly-Fowl Play is a dupe for Opi's Merry Midnight, which is a htf polish!
So I was VERY excited to get this! Although i had to get a friend to buy it for me and pay them shipping because the closest Ulta is two hours away. (The Birds of a Feather Collection is Ulta exclusive.)

This is 4 coats, but you Do not need this many, Three is plenty, I'm not sure if you can go with 2 or not but I added a forth because I have had it on and wanted to make sure it looked nice & fresh for you all!

Fowl Play is a deep jelly purple base packed full of flakies and microglitter. There are some WAY better desciptions out there but this polish is so gorgeous and hard to describe, I just know that you NEED it!
Click the pictures to enlarge so it does it *some* justice!


I hope everybody has a absolutely wonderful great day today!

Dr.'s Remedy Enriched Instant Cover Review

Hello All! Today I have a review for Dr.'s Remedy Enriched Instant Cover for you!

I was shocked & excited that I actually got a product sent me to review! This is my first "Official" Review :)

Instant Cover is a concealing cream that is packed full of wonderful ingredients for your skin.
Those of which include Tea Tree oil, Lavender, Vitamins C & E, and Wheat Protein.

Recommended use is for Spider Veins, Birth Marks, Tattoo's, and Sun spots.
I used mine for my Birthmark on my right hand.

I was unsure of  how much I would like this product, my main concern was with the sponge applicator.
I just do not like sponge applicators with the exception of my Beauty Blender.
So Instead I just applied it with my finger tips by patting it on and blending it slightly with my makeup brush.
& I think it has great coverage! I used 3 very thin coats, because I hate thick coats of anything even polish!

 Here is my bare hand, my birthmark isn't that dark I wish it was darker just so I could prove how well it works but I only have the one birthmark!  Sorry about my hairy arms hehe =X





I think if you have any skin conditions, problems etc you want to cover that this is definitely worth the price!

It comes in the shades Light, Medium, and Deep. I used the Light shade. It retails for $40.00 US dollars, and you can purchase it by calling 1-877-323-NAIL.

*Some Info on the brand*
Dr.'s Remedy is a line of doctor-inspired cosmetics that is dedicated to using clean, hypo-allergenic ingredients. The birth-child of two New York-based podiatrists, Dr. Adam Cirlincione and Dr. William Spielfogel.
Dr.'s REMEDY is the first nail polish to receive the Seal Of Approval of the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA).For more Info about The Dr.'r Remedy brand here is their Facebook Page. & Website.


This product was sent to me for review.

Blog Revamp & Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers-Black Magic


Hey guys! Before I get to the post & pictures I wanted to say sorry (again!) That I didn't post for like a week, I was & still am sick. I am finally getting better but my husband brought home a awful cold, and then of course he passed it onto me and then I passed it onto our daughter Skylar :( It has NOT been a fun week! I was achy and feverish with chills for days, along with a horrid migraine. But the good news is I am getting better now! And since I didn't feel up to posting I decided to revise the blog! I know the header is hard to read, I just didn't want to leave it empty but that is just a temporary one for now!

I would love to hear any feedback on the new layout and anything else from you guys! It isn't perfect bit I needed a break from it but I will finish it up soon!

Fantasy Makers-Black Magic is a Black polish with multi-colored micro glitter throughout it.
It even almost seemed a tinsy bit jelly-ish to me! It took 2 coats for full opacity in person but I added a third coat for pictures.






How freaking cute are these little tombstone bottles?!? 

I really love this polish! It applied great! Not a huge fan of the brush but it worked really well!

To be honest I was going to pass on it, I thought I didn't really need it, or might have a similar polish but went for it anyway because the cute bottle. BUT I was very pleasantly surprised! I am so glad I got it, really loving it! I had a friend pick it up for me and mail it to me because I don't have any cool Halloween polishes out near me yet. (that I know of) I'd assume places like Rite Aid, Walgreens etc will have these!

Hope you all have a wonderful day today!!

WnW-Teal of Fortune & Chg-Techno Teal For Teal Toes!

Hey guys! Today's post
(Should have been posted yesterday eek >.<)
Is about Teal Toes & Ovarian Cancer awareness!


Here is Information from the Teal Toes website, http://www.tealtoes.org 

Welcome to Teal Toes!
Our mission is to raise awareness of ovarian cancer.
How?  By painting your toenails teal, the ovarian cancer color.  By getting your friends to paint their toenails teal too, and then by talking with people when they ask about it, to make sure that they know the signs of this whispering killer.
Any time of year is good for teal toes, but we especially recommend September, the ovarian cancer awareness month!

Why Teal Toes?
  • Ribbons aren't enough
  • It's easy!
  • It makes your toes look pretty
  • Teal, the ovarian cancer awareness color, is striking enough to make people ask about it
Why toes and not fingers?
  • If you want to do your fingers, by all means, please do!
  • Some places of employment have rules for fingernail polish, but toes can be covered if necessary.
  • Toenail polish can last longer
Why September?
  • September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month
  • September, the end of summer in most parts of the USA, is the perfect time for one last pedicure
Why raise awareness?
  • Too many women with ovarian cancer do not get diagnosed until their cancer has spread. Their survival rate is 45%.
  • The survival rate improves greatly - to 93 percent - if the cancer is diagnosed at an early stage before it has spread. Only 19 percent of ovarian cancer cases are diagnosed at this local stage.
  • Approximately 75 percent of ovarian cancer cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage after the cancer has spread beyond the ovary.
This information is from the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance.

For My manicure I used Wet n Wild-Teal of Fortune.
There is some VNL in the pictures BUT not in person at all, I used 2 coats and honestly could have left it at two if I weren't posting pics!




& For my Pedi I used China Glaze-Techno Teal
 Okay don't hate on my feet too bad, I promise they look better in person LOL The awkward shininess is from lotion, they were super dry looking in the first pic, but yeah Not the best looking feet D: I don't take as good of care of them as I should like my hands!


Here are some other bloggers who posted about Teal toes!
