Revlon Top Speed Sheer Cotton

I decided to go with a really crazy and funky pedicure this week. So to balance things out, I wanted very subtle nails. Revlon's Top Speed sheer cotton is just that. It is perfect for weddings, work, bridal parties, interviews, and etc. It's very clean and classy and gives your hands a well-manicured, polished look.

My Fossil Glitz Watch

Okaaaaaaaay...so it's not the Michael Kors Dylan. It's the Glitz by Fossil. It's definitely a replica of the Kors' Dylan which could run you around $300+. This watch is only about $80. It doesn't have as much exquisiteness or intricate detailing as its predecessor, yet it's still quite a nice watch. It's a boyfriend style analog watch with stones surrounding the dial. It has chronograph functions and comes in a couple different colors. All around, I'd say it's a pretty neat watch. Michael Kors' Dylan still makes my mouth water...But the Glitz makes my pockets sing.

Voluminous False Fiber Black Lacquer Mascara Review

Well, I bit. But don't I always when it comes to Loreal's mascaras? Honestly, I had a very good reason this time. I'd ran out  of my Voluminous False Fiber mascara. And it appeared to have ran out at the best time. When the Black Lacquer version of this mascara hit stores!

I wish I could title this section False Fibers vs False Fiber Black Lacquer. But for the most part, it seems to be the same exact mascara - just a different packaging and a darker shade. The brush is exactly the same, too. So far there are only a few differences that I can tell in it's performance. (1)The formula seems less drying. (2) My lashes feel slightly lighter than when I use the original. (3) I also notice that the Black Lacquer smudges - just a bit- as it wears throughout the day. I never had that happen wearing the original. (4) It also doesn't dry as fast. The original Voluminous False Fiber mascara required you to work quickly in between coats.

Overall, you can't go wrong with either the Black Lacquer or Voluminous False Fiber mascara. Just take a peek at my results. It dramatically volumizes and lengthens with little to no "clumpage". You can literally see my lashes go from thin to thick.

Impress Press On Pedicure Review - Broadway Nails

This design, wild girl, is so fabulously fun. It is Impress' Press On Pedicure and this is how it looks straight out of the box. I hadn't filed or shaped them yet. I absolutely adore the designs. I've received quite a few compliments on them. So these will definitely be my Memorial Day feet. They just scream B-E-A-C-H! The best part. It only took me 2 minutes to apply.

They last! The tips come pre-glued. This isn't that weak, worthless glue either. The "press-on" nails of the past lacked strong hold. This stuff is very tacky and have great holding power. I've been wearing them for 4 days and I'm confident I can't get at least 4 to 5 more days out of them.

Super cute packaging! The tips come in a nail polish bottle! Wild girl actually comes with several design patterns. So you can create an unique pedicure every time you purchase it. Impress Pedicure retails for about $8 and I'd definitely buy them again. They had plenty of solid color options, too. I just chose to do something more daring...being that it's the holiday weekend and all.

Nicki Minaj Booty is Fake!

Fake. Faux. Fiction. Phony. Falsified. Hey, I can go on and on with "F" words to describe Nicki's assets. To be completely clear, I'm not sure if it's real or not. Nor do I really care. But would you be here had I titled this post anything different? Really, honestly? Let's face it. Whether it's Nicky, Kim K, or J-Lo, people are obsessed with their a$$. You may not want to be as volumptious as these ladies are in the rear, but  every woman wants to accentuate their curves sometimes. Hmmm...got bodycons?  The answer doesn't have to be surgery or 1,000 power squats everyday. It can be as simple as an undergarment. Check out some of these curve-creating, bum-boosting secrets. They don't just slim like spanx. They also lift and plump :-)

Shea Moisture Moisture Retention Shampoo Review

I am no stranger to Shea Moisture products and have mentioned some of their body bars on this blog before. Shea Moisture is a natural-based product line that you can find at some Targets and on Amazon. I am a sucker for anything proclaimed as all-natural when it comes to my skin and hair. So I didn't hesitate to pick up the Moisture Retention Shampoo. It is for dry, damaged hair. And, according to the packaging, is suppose to heal, grow and strengthen hair as well.

Argan oil, sea kelp, and shea butter are the 3 main ingredients. But I'll dig more into the ingredients in a bit. The shampoo is thick and lathers up A LOT. So depending on the thickness of your hair, you may only need a little. I was expecting my hair to feel moisturized to the touch after using this shampoo. But it didn't. It wasn't easier to detangle. It didn't define my curls. I just wasn't impressed with the results.

In addition to the non-impressive results, I must admit I'm a little concerned about its claim of being "all-natural." Generally, shampoos with 100% natural ingredients won't lather as much. Moisture Retention Shampoo lathers up a lot! That leads me to believe it's not 100% natural. For this reason, I will only use this shampoo every 6 to 8 weeks when I want a deep cleansing. I also recommend doing a pre-treatment with this shampoo. Saturate your hair with either coconut oil or olive oil for about 15 to 20 minutes prior to shampooing. Overall, I'd say Moisture Retention Shampoo is an okay product if you're looking for a shampoo with Shea Butter infused. It's a little overpriced in my opinion ($22 on Amazon). But like I mentioned earlier, a little will really go a long way here.
