Tagged: Top 5 Fave Nail Polishes +1 least favorite

So i was tagged by Retailtherapy (check her out!) to do this post. I am always drooling over her posts so i am really happy i was tagged, thanks girly!


Here goes my top 5 roster:

L-R: Aruba Blue: Essie, Bermuda Shorts: Essie, Bachelorette Bash: Essie, Creme Brulee: Revlon, Timeless: Milani

 

Timeless is the first color i have purchased from Milani and i LOVE it! i am wearing it right now matter of fact. i literally just did my nails 2 hrs ago

I really like it. And the Milani polish went on nice and smooth, no streaks or gloopiness. Very creamy and easy to apply. I will definitely try some of their other colors.

Sidenote: my nails look soo goregous! hahah, self love ladies, it's ok in moderation :)

 

My least fave polish:

 

L'oreal Nail Polish: Mango Get-em. Ok so i LOVE the color. The polish? not so much. It was really streaky and just a horrible polish to apply. I really liked the color though, it was such a shame. I literally had to take it off the next day it looked so bad. I am not a pro when applying polish but i do know enough to apply color well and nothing i did helped.

 

So thats my selection, Retail tagged everyone i wouldve tagged off the top of my head but i want to tag everyone who reads this so YOU'RE TAGGED! :) come back and post a link in the comments section ok?

Nail Polish Haul - 4 Revlon + 1 Milani

i went looking for  2 Revlon colors and came out 5 polishes! And none of them are the colors i was looking for lol.

 

Right to left: Hushed Blush (hard to see but it's a blush color with golden tone), Timeless, Posh Pink, Power walk pink (breast cancer support polish), Pink Freeze.

When i was a little girl i hated pink. Green and blue were my fave colors and you wouldnt catch me in pink to save my life, so its funny that i am now obsessed with pink. I guess i was denying my inner barbie all those years :)

Oh btw, my little box that i keep my polish in is now overflowing:

I couldnt even close the lid! but after some tetris like manuvering i got it closed

Yes! thank you nintendo :)

Review: Neutrogena eye makeup remover (oil free)

 

So i wanted to do a quick review of this eye makeup remover for you ladies so that you would have a fair warning if you're considering purchasing it. And in hindsight, i shouldve taken pictures of me removing my eye makeup. Drat! i will update this post this weekend with those pics.

Anywhoo, the reason why i wanted to give fair warning is this product is supposed to be oil free. Let me show you a pic of the bottle after sitting on a counter and settling:

 

 

Looks like a whole lotta oil-like substance to me. Also (and this is were i needed to show you pics) there is an oily residue left on the skin so i don't know what ingredient is in it that causes the greasy-slick that is left on the face. There isnt any oil or petroleum ingredient that i am familiar with listed on the bottle so i'm stumped.

Regardless of that though, this is a great product. It removes eyshadow and waterproof mascara very well without needing to apply very much product, pressure or rubbing. There is a extremely faint scent that i cant really identify as it is so faint but what i can smell reminds me of baby oil...(I am telling you girls, i SWEAR there is oil in here somewhere lol. I am CONVINCED!!). It is a small bottle and like i said, alittle goes a long way. I use it with my trusty jumbo cotton pad:

Love these pads! I can use 1 pad to remove all my face makeup. and they are nice and fluffy :)

 

Overall i give this product a 3.5/5, i would have given it a 5/5 except for the fact that it leaves the skin greasy and i was looking for oil free product to avoid adding oil to my already greasy complexion. But honestly it works well so i will continue using it until i find something better.
