4 Summer Must-Have Essie Polishes

I love reviewing beauty products but my true passion is nail polishes. I could probably describe my polish stash as hoarding but I prefer the term collector. I have probably over 100 polishes from tons of brands and I'm always on the lookout for new ones to add to my collection. I've recently started buying from a lot of indy brands on etsy, but there is a special place in my heart for Essie products. Here is my list of six must-have polishes for summer 2015!

1. Blossom Dandy

Blossom Dandy is the perfect mint color. This reminds me of sherbet on a sunny day. It would look extra great with a chevron accent nail.

2. Garden Variety

Bolder than Blossom Dandy, this teal polish looks like the crystal waters of the Amalfi coast. Makes me want to sip a margarita beachside!

3. Pret-A-Surfer

I usually like to wear shades of blue and dark reds in the winter but I just couldn't resist adding this blue to my summer list! Its a deep cornflower blue that would pair really well with deep grey accents.

4. Sunset Sneaks

I really like this color because it adds a twist to the traditional bright red for summer but softens it and gives it an extra feminine touch by dulling the color out to a muted crimson.

Lush’s Jason and the Argon Oil Shampoo Bar Review

I suck. I know. I am horrible, horrible, HORRIBLE. I have been absent for nearly two weeks. There have been a few things to cause this, most of which is house hunting and packing. House hunting sucks. I used to think that would be fun to look at houses, I was so wrong. In a few weeks time, we have looked at roughly 16 houses. We have loved 4. By the time we stepped foot in the house, they already had several applications on it (we are renting, not buying—which means we get to do this again in a few years when we are buying. JOY.) We even got to be the first people to view a house within hours of it being “on the market”, but it already had four applications on it before we got ours in the next morning…FOUR. We kept getting passed over since we had to put in a 30 day notice for our apartment, and apparently, that’s too long of a wait for someone to move in. To remedy that problem, we put in our notice for our apartment. Our realtor told us it would be no problem finding a house we like...

Dry Shampoo Showdown - Round 1

It’s finally summertime! That means time for warmer weather and sweatier locks! This is the perfect time to talk about one lifesaving hair product, Dry Shampoo. Dry shampoo is a lifesaver, the one beauty product I could never live without – EVER. That’s right ladies, I would choose dry shampoo over mascara or lipstick! Dirty hair is a big no-no, at least in my book. Because of the hair genes my daddy-o passed on, I have fine, blonde, oily hair. Shampooing daily is obviously pretty time consuming and has a tendency to strip your hair of the natural oils. When that happens, your scalp tends to over compensate causing more oil production, which is not the best thing for us oily haired gals and guys! While daily shampooing might be the right choice for some, its not the answer for me. I found giving a few days between shampooing (using dry shampoo between) has really helped a few things: My hair has adjusted to the oil. I can go 3 days, sometimes 4 without having to shampoo my hair (...

IT Cosmetics VIP Dinner

This past weekend, I was lucky enough to be invited to a very special VIP dinner hosted by IT Cosmetics , along with fellow Dallas bloggers! The dinner included some divine food, champagne, fabulous makeup, and some incredibly fun company at Five Sixty by Wolfgang Puck atop Reunion Tower in Downtown Dallas. We were also treated to makeovers and a meet & greet with the Co-Founder, Jamie Lima. Being so new at blogging this was my very first experience like this, and let me tell you it was a great first experience. The night started off with some wonderful appetizers, that unfortunately I did not snap pictures of! The tables were also decorated with some of IT Cosmetics products! Adorable! Once we sat down for dinner, we learned more about the company and their products. I had known of the company prior to this due to the New Beauty Test Tube last spring. I received one of their fabulous brushes, which made me want to try the other prod...
