Sammi's Mani: Nailtini Nail Lacquer in Frappe

Hi, everyone! These kind of posts are like a "here's what my nails are painted like right now" and a nail polish review in one, so I'll be talking about the formulation of the products I used to achieve the look. Today's manicure is really simple, but I still wanted to share it with you. For this week's manicure, I used my Nailtini Nail Lacquer in Frappe that I received in an Ipsy bag months back. If you're interested in learning more about Ipsy and their monthly beauty subscription service, you can see what I received in May's Glam Bag here.

Monthly Favorites: May 2013

Hey, friends! The beginning of May feels so long ago, doesn't it? Well, at least that means it's time for my May favorites! I decided to include some non-beauty items in there, too. Just to spice things up, and to show you that I am a real person who does things beside apply makeup. :)

Skincare:

Olay Night of Olay Firming Cream ($6 ~ 2oz) 

I absolutely love this moisturizer. I've been using it for years, and though I try new things, I always come back to this. I haven't found a thick cream that moisturizes nearly as well, yet doesn't over-moisturize my T-Zone on days when my combination skin decides that on a day it's going to be a little more oily. It's my favorite night time moisturizer and without it, my face will feel really tight when I tr to smile come the morning! You can find this at any drugstore near you.

Tag: Seven Deadly Sins of Beauty

Hi, everyone! Today I'd like to do a fun little tag I've seen on a few other beauty blogs. Don't worry: it's much shorter than the last one I did! Feel free to do it in the comments below. I'd love to read your answers! :) 

1. Greed - What are your most expensive and inexpensive beauty items? 
I don't know if this counts since it is a skincare tool, but my Clarisonic Mia 2 costs $149 on HSN, where it was purchased. Technically it was a Christmas gift so it was free, but it's still the most expensive beauty item I own.

Products I've Used Up: May 2013

Hi everyone! Today I'd like to show you some products I've used up. I'll share with you what I liked and didn't like, and whether or not I would repurchase. The list is short this month, since I just did one last month, but I still thought I would do one so these posts don't get TOO long.

Review: Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-on Manicure

Hey, friends! Today I'd like to give a more in-depth review on the press-on nails I received in my Influenster VoxBox earlier this week: the Broadway Nails imPRESS Press-On Manicure set.

Outfit of the Day: 5/16/13

Hey, friends! It actually felt like summer today back on Long Island, so I decided to take advantage of the warm weather and bring out my shorts for the first time this season! I just thought I would show you guys what I was wearing today, in case you're curious about who the girl behind the computer screen is. :)

Now that school is over for the semester and I'm back home, I'm able to take time getting ready again since I don't have to rush around everywhere, and it feels good!
