#3.Rumors say this will be the bag color but I also think it could have something to do with this months theme as well, this would make an adorable bag! I really hope it is.

Review on NutraNail 5 Min Perfect Gel Manicure.

I finally had some free time to try the new gel nails kit I bought about a week ago. I purchased this at Layton's Drugs , reg price $14.99 on clearance for $5.00. They only had a few shades so I bought Moonstone which is a dark gray shade. I was actually really nervous to try this after I read the instructions because it did sound kinda complicated and I am not the best at doing my nails. I have never had a gel manicure so I wasn't quite sure how it would turn out.

So this kit comes with 3 bottles of product, the activator, the nail polish itself and a brush cleaner. It says to start out with clean nails (obviously) and to push back your cuticles and also make sure your hand and nails are lotion and oil free.

Step 1: Is to apply the activater to one hand, you are not to let this dry before applying the polish, it says to immediately apply your first coat of polish and then once your done change brushes with the brush from the brush cleaner bottle. It says to do this after every five nails. I started to get a little worried at this point because the polish goes on really watery and streaky but the instructions did say it would be streaky. One thing with this is that you have to move quickly.

Step 2: I repeated the same thing to my other hand and let them dry, At this point I thought it looked terrible! lol and I was skeptical so once they dried I started with the same process over again, for every coat you have to reapply the activator first and then immedialty apply the polish let and try and repeat. The second coat looked much better it actually started going on like real polish. I still think I'm going to go back in later with a third coat as I do see some streakiness still on a few nails

Ok so I did this 3 days ago and still have it on my nails. First thing is I hate the color,  normally I love dark colors which is why I chose this one but this grey is so lack luster, it's just not cute. Honestly I don't find it any shinier than regular polish with a top coat and it is so much more work for  pretty much the same result. This process was pretty time consuming and not worth it in my opinion. Also my nails started to chip on the first day and have only gotten worse! I would either stick with going to a salon and getting a gel manicure or just going with regular polish with a top coat.

I took photos of everything but I accidentally deleted them and obviously I cant retake them.**


UPDATE---> I went to remove this yesterday, I had to purchase the remover made especially for gel nails as regular nail polish would not work which sucked! It was $7.99 and it completely ruined my nails upon removal!! They are yellow cracked dry and it looks like it poisoned them! I do not recommend this to anyone and I would never ever use this again!

Another Avon Haul...I know I know already.... :)

Ok so my latest Avon order came in today while I was at work so I figured I would come home and blog about it. This one is pretty small but I figured I would share with you guys anyway. I believe I spent just over $20, I know Avon can sometimes be more expensive but I do only buy the items on clearance.

The first thing I got was the Avon Moisture Effective Eye Makeup Remover Lotion. It is a 60ml size bottle and I paid $3.99 for it. I got the new Avon books today with my order and found out that they have it on clearance for .99 cents now! So dissapointed but I guess if I like this I can stock up on a couple more. I have not used it yet but I opened it up, it doesn't really have a smell and it seems to be a lotion consistency opposed to like a watery consistency. I have been looking for a new makeup remover and just figured I would try this one. I will update if I do end up liking this.

I also got the Avon True Color Eyeshadow Duo in the Sunkissed Duo. I believe the shades are Shell and Refreshing Coral. I actually did not buy this for myself, I am slowly trying to accumulate some X-Mas gifts early so I am planning on giving this to my mom becuase she loves Avon. I still may swatch it, My mom wouldn't mind..lol. It contains a pinky shade and then a little peach shade which I think are good neautrals for my mom. The packaging is actually really cute, it is the standard black packaging with some cute little flowers on the bottom corner. I bought this for $3.99 and I believe the regualr price is $6.99.

(so sorry for the terrible pics guys I promise I am working on it!)

 

 

I also bought another 2 liners in the Glimmerstick collection, I already own the eyeliner in Blackened Night and also in Purple Haze and then 2 of the Glimmerstick Cosmic liners in Vivid Grey and Electric Pink which I hauled in my last Avon Haul. The first one I got was the Glimmersticks Liqui-Glide eyeliner in black which is supposed to be like the original but more creamy, it is a retractable pencil but it is supposed to glide on like liquid liner so we shall see.. I havent tried anything yet that I bought besides for just swatching them on my hand. These were both $3.99 a piece and I believe the original price is $7.99.

I also got the Glimmersticks Brow Definer in the shade B03 Dark Brown, once again it is a retractable pencil and I am interested to try. I bought this because I never use brow pencils, only powder and I wanted to branch out to see if I could improve my eyebrow routine.I will definitly be making sure I share with you guys weather or not I like this.

These next purchases were just mainly for stocking stuffers. I got two hand creams. One is the Moisture Therapy Soothing Oatmeal which is for dry, itchy skin. It is a 45 ml bottle and it was .99 cents. I have always loved this stuff, my mom always used it so I bought it for her but I'm going to get one for myself as well next time. The other one is just I think one of the regualr hand creams ,it doesn't have a name . It is just the one in the bright yellow flower container and it is also 45ml for .99 cents. I just got a little mini size of the Hot Apple Pie Bubble Bath it is 50ml and it was also .99 cents.

Ok so here is the recap:

Avon Moisture Effective Eye Makeup Remover $3.99
Avon True Color Eyeshadow Due in Sunkissed $3.99
Glimmersticks Liqui-Glide Eyeliner in Black $3.99
Glimmersticks Brown Definer in B03 Dark Brown $3.99
Avon Moisture Therapy Soothing Oatmeal Hand Cream .99
Avon Hand Cream .99
Avon Hot Apple Pie Bubble Bath .99

Coming soon (real soon) my review on the Pop Beauty Texture 3D eye shade palette!

Doing swatches right now!!

Review on Loreal Paris Skin Expertise Collagen Micropulse Vibrating Eye Corrector.Retail $34.99

Today I am doing my review on the Loreal Paris Skin Expertise Collagen Micropulse Vibrating Eye Corrector. I hauled this in my Drustore Clearance Haul if you would like to read that click here:

http://beautygurlonabudget.blogspot.ca/2013/09/drugstore-clearance-haul.html

This is a two part process. The bottom half of the tube unscrews and that's where the product itself is. You apply the eyecream and then unscrew the top where the vibrating eye roller is. You then are supposed to turn it on and roll it over your undereyes for approx. 2 seconds. I did it for longer, more like 30 seconds. I already said in previous post that I did see an immediate result with using this. It does reduce the darkness under your eyes and they did look more awake. I was happy with that but I really wanted to see if this would make a difference in the 4 weeks as suggested on the package. I have been using this religiously once in the morning and once before bed. I will say I did really enjoy it because it kind of felt like I was pampering myself a little bit everyday so I liked that. Now do I still have wrinkles and fine lines are my eyes after using this for 4 weeks? Hell yes! I definitely still do, I'm going to honestly say that I did not notice a drastic difference after these 4 weeks. Not to say it didn't do anything cause like I said it does decrease undereye darkness it's just that I am not sure it actually made a dent in my under eye problems...

Would I buy this one again??

Definitley not for $34.99 that's for sure, I do not think it is worth that at all but if it was on sale again for the price I purchased it for (7.99) then yes I think I would.

Lipliners for Fall

I have been looking for some fun new lipliners for fall and just happened to stumble upon these at my grocery store. They are the brand Joe Fresh which is basically just my grocery stores brand of clothes and cosmetics. All the lipliners were on clearance for $1.44 reg price about $4.99, so I bought every color (they only had four) At first when I bought them I thought they were going to be the pencil type but was pleasantly surprised to see that they were retractable, I love that so much more than pencil liners. Also another cool feature is that they have the self sharpener on the other end which I personally have never tried before.

The shades I bought were Plum, Cinnamon, Poppy and Pink.In order from right to left below:

 

(This one is my fav in Plum and I am so sorry for the horrible pics, they are all taken with my phone, I am working on it I promise! :)

 

 

 

 

Ok so lets start from right to left here on the above photo of the swatches.

The first shade is swatched above is Poppy which as you can see is a nice red shade. The second fav of the bunch, gorgeous shade love the way it looks on me, good quality, easy application what more can I say. I give it an A+

Alright so the second shade swatched above is in Plum. My fav color of all of them and also my fav lipliner/lipstick for this season period! This looks sooo nice on me and my skin tone. I have gotten sooo many compliments on this from coworkers and I myself LOVE the way it looks on my paler skin. So Fall!! The swatch almost looks brown but it is a deep dark plum shade which does have some brown undertones. It is absolutly beautiful for fall and I highly reccomend this. ( especially for the price)

Next is the the third shade pictured in the above swatches called Pink. It is basically exactly what it says, a pink shade, very pretty, very basic I like it alot but yeah I'm not raving about this one girls.

The last swatch is the shade Cinnamon. This is your basic nude shade of the bunch. One thing I will say about these liners is that all the shades I got looked good on me....that never happens. I have dark dark brown/black hair and paler skin so not all colors suit me but all of these just ended up working. I was very pleased and I am thinking about buying some more for gifts. I might even do a giveaway! If these are still on sale when  I go next I'm going to buy all four pictured above and give them away to a lucky reader. I will post details in a future blog post. Comment below if anyone is interested in participating!

My Favorite Nail Polish of the week!

Am going to start doing blog posts on what my fav nail polish for the week is and what I wore the most that week. To kick things off I have been LOVING this deep dark red shade called Sanguine from the O.P.I. Go Goth set I bought a month or so back for $2.00. It is so gorgeous, has a smooth application and is perfect for fall right now. Below is how it looks on the nails, I really want to get one of those nail polish swatchers. Not sure where to buy those..
