One of my B-Day Gifts


I am sure that you have seen many reviews regarding this new addition from Tarte.

At first I was not interested in this palette, but when I was at Sephora I thought,"oh well, it's my B-day", so I bought it. I have used it only once and I am sad to say that I am not too impressed with it. To be honest, I don't know what I was expecting from this palette, but it seemed more of a normal traditional makeup palette. It is no different than others that I have purchased which cost cheaper and offered the same pay off. Speaking of pay off, the only brightness you get is from the silver, which is the one that I have placed a red dot on. This color gives a great payoff, as for the others, they are okay.
The eye liner is superb, it is nice a creamy and doesn't smug. If you are considering it for the love of the show then get yours before it sells out. If you are more into the colors, thinking they are spectacular, then I would miss this one and spend your $ on something worth wide.

Inspiration from a fantastic artist


Kayla's blog is filled with nail polish designs, images and reviews. Well needless to say I was inspired. I love nail polish and love to decorate my nails. My nails are real, they began to grown when I started to take prenatal vitamins. My nails were never strong, they would break at a drop of hat. I started to take the vitamins while I was in nursing school because my instructor told me that taking prenatal vitamins were the best vitamins that a woman could take.
It was about 3 months I started to notice my nails grown strong and hard. At first I didn't link it with the vitamins but when I stopped taking them to see if it was the vitamins, my nails started to break. It was the weirdest thing to watch.

Kayla's designs gave me the inspiration to do this design. Though it is not as perfect as hers, it is still nice. I went out for my B-day with these and I cannot tell you how many compliments I received. Thanks Kayla for the inspiration, continue on!
