Instant Lip Balm - Temp. Fix

I don't know about you but I don't go anywhere without my lip gloss...my lips feel so naked without it.  So anyway my boyfriend and I were out at a Bulls Game this past summer - during half time I went to the bathroom to freshen up and blot my face and all that cutesy stuff we do when we think or shall I say we know we are super duper cute (sorry...watching too much Super Why! LOL).

soft sheer pink lip

So anyway, as I was taking the cap off my lip gloss my makeup bag was falling out of my purse (I never place it on the makeup counter...I'm a germ-a-phobe) and I dropped it on the floor...pissed at my inability to catch it I was livid and refused to walk around with dry lips...so I became creative and improvised.  I  grabbed my blush and stained my lips only placing a dab on both the top and bottom lip; next, I then took some moisturizing lotion I had in my purse and applied it on both my top and bottom lip.  I have to admit it didn't taste all that great but I DIDN'T CARE...it was a temporary fix and it had the consistency of a lip balm.

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails - Ice Queen #840

So I couldn't find what I was looking for at my local Walgreens but this simple glitter polish made me feel a little better...and the price wasn't bad either @ $1.99

Ice Queen is a really pretty clear base polish with micro silver glitter and blue and purple hex glitter.

• On my thumb (right) I placed two coats of polish to get a feel for the coverage.  The silver micro glitter gave a nice coating for only two coats. The larger chunks of blue and purple were sparsely placed using the nail brush.
• On my index finger I used one coat of Wet n Wild Shine Black Creme (424A).  This is an excellent polish providing nice coverage - it definitely competes with some of the more popular brands and provides great shine.  I purchased this polish a couple of months ago due to the rave reviews it received from various blogs I frequent - and can you believe it was only a $1.00 at my local Walgreens.  I used one coat of Ice Queen and loved how well all the glitter showed up...reminds me of the galaxy...LOL!

I will definitely be using this polish mostly for layering.  I did not use a top coat on either nail simply because I was only swatching two nails,overall I am content with my purchase and give it two thumbs up and looking forward to pairing it with various colors complimentary to the hex glitter.

The Body Shop Mega Sale

Did you miss out on the Cyber Monday Exclusive???

I love the Body Shop Body Butter but their prices not soo much!  It's a good thing I checked my email just in time to see their Cyber   Monday Exclusive Sale post Thanksgiving or I would have been extremely upset.

I had to read the advertisement twice because I just knew my eyes were playing tricks on me when I read that everything in their entire store was $10 bucks for any size product for multiples of three.

So without further ado here are the ONLY three items I was able to purchase due to most of their
products being sold out:

• Mango Butter (very dry skin; contains mango seed oil) - 13.5oz- original price - $25.00* This is one of my all time favorites especially for the summer...it's light weight with a tropical and exotic fragrance of mango's.  The only downside is that it is a little oily and can leave oil spots on your clothing...otherwise I LOVE IT!

• Shea Butter (very dry skin)- 13.5oz- original price - $25.00* This is my Winter favorite...its has a dominant musk smell and sort of woodsy. I believe it can be a unisex fragrance.  It moisturizes all day which is very important with the extreme weather conditions we experience during Chicago Winters!

• Coconut (normal/dry skin) -7oz.- original price - $18.00* I have been dying to get my hands on one of these since I purchased the mini a couple years ago...you simply can't go wrong with this body butter...it contains organic virgin coconut oil and is bursting with fragrance..it always puts me in the mind of a pina colada when I smell it! I must admit I was pissed that the jumbo (13.5oz) was sold out however I'm still grateful I got one.

Ok! enough of my rambling I just thought I would share a few of my favorite body products with you and not to mention I SAVED $38 BUCKS.

Tell me some of your favorite body products...I am always open to try something new.
