NOTD 13: Thanksgiving/Autumn Inspired










Here's whats on my nails currently. This is kind of a Thanksgiving/Autumn inspired look. The red is not too bright and the orange ties it all together. I took a lot of pictures, I'm feeling good this morning =]. Also another design I'm trying from the daily nail.
PRODUCTS USED:
-Beauty Secrets Base Coat
-Beauty Secrets Top Coat
-OPI in Little Red Wagon
-OPI in Chop Sticking To My Story
-Nabi Nail Art In Silver
-Dotting tool

NOTD 12 ! Vampy Cheetah?










PRODUCTS USED:
-beauty secrets top coat
-beauty secrets base coat
-China Glaze in Ingrid
-Nabi nail Art In Black
-Nabi Nail Art In Night Wine
-A gold nail art ( it doesn't have a name sorry ! )
The nail design I was inspired from actually had used totally different colors. I liked the look with dark colors more so i switched it up for my preference. I put down two coats of Ingrid. Painted on my red moon. And then attempted to do cheetah spots. I guess I did okay for not using Konad ! Everything was freehand. I had fun doing this design.
*I know I'm posting a bunch of NOTD but I'm just trying to catch up ! Bear with me 



Where Have I been ?!

AHh I feel As if I haven't updated this blog in forever. It has been a while though. I been updating on LUUUX though. I usually update both at the same time but lately I haven't been having enough time. I been spending a lot more time with my boyfriend, and doing a bunch of shopping for Christmas. Also just personal things I've been taking care of and dealing with. Hopefully this upcoming month of December, I'll be having some nice hauls and what not. I've also decided that I'm going to start doing monthly favorites. I'm going to start with November favorites. Which will either be up today or sometime later tonight. Also a new NOTD should be up early tomorrow, since I'll be doing my nails tonight but I only take my nail pictures during the day when the sun is right in front of my window. Also if you want to request anything just let me know in the comments, message me, of e-mail me. Any of the three work =]. I was thinking about starting a new blog where I look for recipes on blogs, and try the recipes out and tell you guys/gals what I think about the recipe and how it worked out and such. I feel like it would be something different and fun, but most recipes would be of baking since I love baking ! So yeah everyone, this was just a little update of whats been going on lately. I could always use a friendly chat too !

NOTD 11 Flowers








This is extremely late. I wasn't painting my nails because most of them broke, which really upset me. but i was tired of seeing them with no polish. So it was time to paint =]. I got this design from the daily nail. I saw her do this design and I loved it. It was simple and quick. I took my dotting tool and went to work !

NOTD 10 ... I think... =]











I was undecided as of what nail design I wanted to put on my nails. So I did two different ones. The first one didn't turn out the way I wanted it to but thats ok I think it still came out pretty nice. I wasn't doing my nails for a while since my nails are doing nothing but breaking. I get extremely annoyed when my nails break since it takes for ever for them to grow. Enough ranting and onto the products.

PRODUCTS USED:
-Usual base and top coats
-OPI Bare Foot In Barcelona
-OPI Alpine Snow
-Sally Hansen Black
-Nabi Nail Art In White
-Nabi Nail Art In Black

For the dots and the squiggly lines i used a toothpick since I didn't have a dotting too yet.

REVIEW: H2O+ Products

I was supposed to put this up yesterday but I didn't have the time. Better late than never anyways. Well I been using these products for a week now. I have to say I love this line of products. My mom had a favorite as well. I recieved these products complementary of BeautyStat, which I have a link to on the sidebar. Go check out the site =]. These are MY OWN opinions.
But on to the review :)

First up is the creamy face cleanser. A little goes a long way with this product. I really don't like the smell since I'm not a fan on citrus smelling things. The smell makes me a little sick but thats just me. I had a hard time getting this to lather. Maybe it was me not doing something right but I doubt it. After I dry my face when using this it leaves my face extremely soft, and I love that. This is  4 fl oz bottle which I think is enough products for a facial cleanser, plus as I said a little goes a long way.

Next is the renewing prep tonic. Which is a toner. To me It's just another toner I didn't find anything that I liked specifically. The only Problem I had with this was that it kind of burned and irritated my skin in some areas. It says It's a alcohol free toner. It may be because I have really sensitive skin. I never really use a toner so that could be way as well. I feel like I'll run out of this product quick for some reason. It's a 7 fl oz bottle which is a quite bit of product, but I've been using it for a week and I feel like It's wasting quite quick.

The gentle refining polish is an exfoliator. It is really gentle which I like because I hate the rough kind like St Ives as an example. I only used this once since I don't exfoliate everyday but if I find something I don't like about it I will let you all know through an update post. The box says that is has fine grained bamboo extract and It's supposed to hydrate your skin and help improve resiliency. I havn't used it enough to tell you if those things are true or not. But I can tell you that It's a nice scrub. This is a 2.5 fl oz bottle but you need very little of this so it should last a while.



This is the deep moisture cream which I an in love with ! I had really dry skin around my nose area and above my eyebrows when I received these products. So I thought this is the perfect time to see if this really works. I would apply this after I cleansed my face with the cleaner and used the toner. After I let this cream sink in I then would put some Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment over that ( a little sample that came with the Sea Pure line ).Within two days my skin was back to feeling soft, theres was no dryness of flaking of my skin at all. I was so surprised. If you have dry skin I definitely recommend you trying this along with the hydrating treatment. The jar is 1.7 fl oz. I think this will last a really long time because again you only need the smallest amount.


On to the perfecting eye cream. Yes I used this product but on my skin I guess it wouldn't really show results since the skin under my eyes isn't really damaged or anything like that. So instead I had my mom try this out instead. The box says the cream is supposed to help visibly repair and refresh the delicate skin around they eyes while booting skins cellular renewal cycle. My mom claimed that it made the skin under her eyes appear brighter since she had such dark circles. I'm taking her word for it since I didn't pay much attention. I do use this product because they say its good to use a eye cream even if you don't exactly need to. It's a .5 fl oz jar. Which yes that is a small jar but with these products you honestly don't need much at all.


This is a small sample they gave me from they're Face Oasis line. I have two other samples of the same five from other lines, but I didn't find use for those. But this is what I put over top of the deep moisture cream. The smell reminded me of windex I don't know why. I would love to purchase of a full size of this product. The bottle is a .27 fl oz. 

* Overall I love this line of products. When I run out I will be buying more. Maybe I'll try a different line they have. When I do I will be sure to let you guys and gals know ! I would like to thank BeautyStat And H2O+.

Opening Box Day: H20+ Arrived !

So about last week Friday my UPS man came to my house and left a note on the door saying i had a package. I Knew what that package was since I wasn't expecting anything else. So I was highly upset at the fact i would have to wait until Monday for UPS to re deliver my package. Around 6:30pm I finally got my package from H2O+. I wanted to to an opening box day video that day but it was already dark and i didn't have good lighting. Finally today, which is Wednesday I have time to not make a video but to take lots of pictures. I had to work fast because the sun was leaving my window quick. In exactly a week from today I will tell you guys how these products have been working for me.

These are skincare items from the company H2O+, they sent me the items from they're line called Sea Pure. I did receive these items complementary from BeautyStat. These are my own opinions about these products.









 These pictures are all over the place I'm sorry about that but trying to arrange them on this is really frustrating. Any who ! My first impressions are that the packaging it NOT cheap at all. I actually really like the packaging i think its nice. All of the products have the same citrus smell to them. I personally am not a fan of citrus smelling things, but this is the smell of something i would like to put on my face. Because you know sometimes you smell something and you think EW I don't want to put this on my face it smells horrible. That because most of those products that have bad smells usually have a lot of bad chemicals that are actually bad for your skin. I also noticed all of the products saying 98% Natural and 100% vegan and biodegradable. I was sent 5 full sized products and 3 samples from they're other lines.They have 7 other lines along with the line they sent me. They gave me a discount code for you all as well !

From November 1st to November 20th you can save $10 on your entire purchase of $30 or more ! Use the following code at the checkout: 100275.
