Michael Kors Nail Lacquer Review

 I couldn't WAIT to pick up a nail lacquer from the NEW Michael Kors beauty line. First off let me start off by saying Michael is one of my favorite designers, from his super high end designs to his affordable finds for frugalistas such as myself. I went into my local Macy's and saw the quaint display of 3 perfumes that all have coordinating lip sticks, glosses, bronzers and nail colors. 

I chose the color envy because I have an ongoing obsession with plum/berry shades. 

The formula: This polish has a wonderful formula the first coat glides on. Not gooey, thick, or streaky and this polish is great for a beginner at home manicurist. 

2-3 coats does you justice and a good top coat is always recommended. 
Here are my nails after 4 days of wear. Now keep in mind I am a mother so i do wash dishes (with gloves), I am always cleaning, washing my baby and doing other things with my hands so 4 days was pretty good for me. The sales woman said typically those who don't do a lot of work with their hands or house work can get up to 8 days of wear. 

The price: $18 USD

The verdict: Love these polishes and i personally will be picking up more, i suggest you ladies pick up a shade too!

MASCARA, MASCARA, MASCARA!!!

 Covergirl's flamed out mascara  
I really love a mascara with a wet formula and this definitely has that! The brush isa a Little weird and short but it actually did a good job of adding a little volume to my poor baby lashes. I actually prefer to use this in conjunction with other mascaras. It doesn't create any miracles on its own. All in all you can skip this item in your shopping cart
Almay get up and grow mascara. Is a really good mascara! Definitely more of a dry formula but I still reach for it! Not a lot of volume is given but the length given to my lashes pleases me! The brush is tightly packed with bristles and it
Is easy to apply mascara at the very base of my lashes. I love this and
Think it's worth giving a try!
Rimme London ScandalEyes mascara
Eh....it's okay. I wanted to love it, wet formula and a huge wand was right up my ally. However this mascara lacks performance and the wand isn't effective please SKIP this item.
Maybelline falsies BIG EYES mascara. 
Um...not sure what the hype is but this mascara is seriously OKAY. If you already have beautiful long and voluminous eye lashes I could see why this would be a favorite. The formula is okay dries pretty quickly for me, the upper lash wand is pretty slim and able to get close to the lash base but it just didn't give me ANY life! I love the lower lash wand it definitely gave my sparse lower lashes some much needed attention. I say SKIP this honestly you can use any mascara on your bottom lashes!
