Korres Quercetin & Oak Antiageing Eye Primer Review

Hello again! Long time, no blogs, huh? Well I'm back! This is my review on a product I was sent from Beauty Stat. I have used this product for a little while now and my sample is finally gone, and from my expeierience, I love it. I tend to have dry skin and I think this product was made for dry skin because it just works wonderfuly. It has a peachy color to it so it evens out your skin tone and apparently it helps with aging. Well, I haven't noticed anything in that department but its because I'm only nineteen years old (I'll be twenty in November). I also liked this product for a primer/base concealer for under my eyes! I am young and life is short and lets just say I'm a night owl, so in turn, I have dark spots/circles under my eyes and I need all the help I can get to cover those bad boys up and let me tell you, this product helps! My concealer stays on, my eyeshadow stays on, it doesn't stink, it doesn't crease for me, so all in all I LOVE IT! I'm not sure how much the full size costs and I'm hoping I can get it other places than Sephora but all I know is I'm getting some more!!!!!

Sally Hansen Salon Effects: Real Nail Polish Strips

Hello again ladies! I recently purchase two boxes of these nail polish strips from my local Walmart. I got them for $8.50 each. I got this champagne color and a zebra striped set. I put the champagne color on my nails because I work in a restaurant and we have to have light or neutral colored nails. I ended up putting the zebra striped ones on my big toes only and painted the rest of my toes a teal color.
The application process was easy. You just rub nail polish remover over your nail, peel off the clear plastic layer and then apply the nail polish strip and rub it on your nail for a good 15 to 30 seconds. I did notice however the my hands were getting a tiny bit sweaty while doing this so some of the strips toward the end didn't want to stay on. I would recomend sitting in front of a fan or stopping halfway through and dunking your hands in ice water for just a minute or so.
As far as wear and tare goes, I did find that my fingernails started chipping at the tips after a few days, but I think its because I use my hands for everything at work because I am a waitress. But the zebra print is still on my toes and looks PERFECT! (Besides the line of just nail where my toe nails have grown.) I did try to go back a week later and put the rest of the zebra ones on my nails. That didnt go so well because the strips were brittle now. So I do need to point out that you need to use the strips immediatly after opening the package.
Would I buy these again?!? Absolutely, but only for my toe nails because its been 3 weeks and the zebra print toe nails still look amazing. Maybe if I didn't use my hands so much I would buy them for my hands but until I get out of the restaurant business, I will be using these nail polish strips for pedicures only!

E.L.F. (Eyes. Lips. Face.) Cosmetics: Eyeliner Pen Review

So, upon entering my local Dollar Tree, I knew I was determined to head down the makeup isle. As soon as I started discarding the familiar L.A. Colors products, I noticed something new: ELF COSMETICS!!! I had seen e.l.f. cosmetics in places such as Target, but never thought I'd run into them at the dollar store. They only had two different items, this eyeliner pen and an eyeshadow brush, so I bought both.

Let me just tell you this, I only got to use this thing ONE time. It started drying out by the time I was done with my second eye. I then turned it upside down hoping that it would run to the tip, but unfortunately there was nothing left. Good thing it was only a dollar. . .

How to: Preserve Sexy Red Hair!!!

Tip #1: Use a professional dye. Either from beauty supply stores, or get your hair colored at a salon. (Easiest way to tell if its professional quality: Does it come with gloves, a developer, and a conditioner? If you answered "yes" then it probably comes in a box right? "Yes" again?! Well then you're hair color is NOT professional quality. Go to Sally's Beauty Supply and find ones that come in small tubes. This is JUST the pigment, or the color part of your hair dye. Then you need to read the tube or small box and find out what volume developer you need to purchase. If you have lighter hair you usually only need a 20 volume, Medium maybe a 30 volume, and for dark hair you need a 40 volume.)

Tip #2: Do NOT put color on dirty hair. The old wives tale was for back in the day when the chemicals were WAY stronger and the natural oils in your hair would help protect against the damage.

Tip #3: DO NOT wash your hair for AT LEAST 48 hours. This will help the pigment really soak into the hair. Hot water and shampoos will make your hair prematurely release the pigment.

Tip #4: Get a clear or red gloss/glaze for your hair. I would wait a week to let your hair rest and recouperate. Then follow the directions for the gloss/glaze that you purchase.

Tip #5: Try to find higher end, but affordable, shampoo specifically for color treated hair. If it is sulfate free and/or specifically meant for red heads I'm sure it will help even more.

Tip #6: PROTECT YOUR HAIR DAILY!!! Use things such as hats, caps, scarves, etc., to protect your hair from the sun. Use caps durring tanning bed session. Also use heat protectants when using hot tools to style your hair. (Hot tools include but are not limited to: Straighteners/flat irons, curling irons, and hair dryers.)

I hope some or all of these tips helped you girls. I'm sure most of these tips can be applied to all hair colors. With all my love, stay simply beautiful.

Queen Helene Royal Curl

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen.

I recieved the Queen Helene Royal Curl line to test out for two weeks and then blog about it and tell the world what I thought. Well let me just begin by saying that I am so glad I did NOT spend my hard earned money on these products. I used them as directed for 3 days straight and by the third day the ends of my hair were SO DRY that I was disgusted with my hair. I don't know about you but my hair has always been dry and curly and frizzy. This line did nothing for my hair but dry it out more. I deffinitely DO NOT recomend this product AT ALL!
