NOTD

For today's Nail's I used Broadway Nails- Nail Dress Stick on Wraps. That I had won in a giveaway from

outinapout I have never used them before but they are super easy to use!

You just select your size, apply and smooth, file and your ready to go! I applied a clear coat over top so they last longer. To take them off you just peel them off, not searching for nail polish remover and pads.

So much easier then painting your nails at 10 at night haha don't have to wait for them to dry.

Review- L.A Colors 5 Metallic Eyeshadow Palettes

Today's review is on L.A Colors the 5 Color Metallic Eyeshadow Quads.

I have never used any of their eyeshadows before, every time I went to buy them, the store never had the color's I wanted. I have some of their lip products. So this was a first and a great buy!

 I picked up three pallets.
L-R EP23 Serenade, EP24 Unforgettable, EP46 Stormy
All swatches are only a one time pass, I didn't pack on the color on my arm, what you see is from one swipe! Very pigmented!!

 Serenade. I love all of these colors!

 Unforgettable. You can't see one color because by some miracle I actually got a tan! But it shows up on my eyelid.

Stormy. These are all grey's and look great with the other colors. Also makes a great smokey eye!

If you don't have any L.A Colors what are you waiting for! You can find them at Cherry Culture and I found these at my local dollarstore for $3!
You get a great color payoff and it last's all day!
I'm sure it would last with the heat wave that most of Canada is getting and the United States. (not me we are at +10!)

Making Cold Process Soap

If you never made cold process soap before then you should really really read This! It will tell you everything you need to know and for safety reasons please read.
Then you will need to know what equipment you will need for making soap read This!
Everything thing I used is from voyageur soap and candle It's Canadian and they have really fast shipping!
Alright now that you read the safety and equipment needed let's begin.

1 lb Hemp/Coconut/Olive Oil

5 oz Coconut Oil

5 oz Hempseed Oil

5.2 oz Olive Oil

2.3 oz Lye

6 oz Water

Fragrance/Essential Oil .7 oz

Directions!

Suit up in safety goggles, gloves and long sleeves. Add the lye to the water. Stir well taking precautions to not breathe in the fumes. Set the mixture to the side and allow it to cool to approximately 110F. You can put the lye water mixture outside if you are not in a well ventilated area.

Add all the oils together and melt. Allow them to cool to approximately 110F, or within 5 degrees of the lye water.

Add the lye water to the melted oils, carefully. Stir vigorously until trace occurs. Trace looks like a thin pudding. A stick blender will help speed trace along. If you are stirring by hand, this recipe may take up to an hour to trace.

Once you reach trace add your Fragrance or Essential oils.

I took my soap out early just for photo's they won't look like this once you reach 5 days!

Pour your traced soap mixture into your molds. Pop out after 3 to 5 days and allow to sit for a full 4 to 6 weeks to cure and finish the saponification process.


And don't worry it's gonna look green it's from your Hempseed Oil.
Enjoy!

Review- Sally Hansen Crackle Nail Polish

I was really excited when I found this at Walmart! I had my eyes on the China Glaze and OPI crackle polish but never bought any.
So I bought a Sally Hansen Crackle Polish for $6!
I comes in 8 different shades

I love all the color's and it was so hard to pick just one! So I went with my favorite color Pink.

I was really impressed with this polish, it crackles right away so make sure you get enough polish on, because you don't want to make more then one pass.
I have a light pink for my base, if I had a black or a dark purple I'm sure it would look better.
I really recommend getting this polish, I might even grab more.
The price is perfect! I'm not sure where else you can find it because I have only seen it at walmart for the first time on Tuesday.
If you have tried this polish what do you think of it?

Review- Sigma Flat Top Kabuki F-80

I received a Sigma Brush from Sigma to review, so here it is finally!

I really love this brush! This is the first Sigma brush I have and ever used and was really impressed with it, I already knew that it was a good company from all the other reviews that are out there, and I haven't heard that much bad stuff about them.

I use this brush to apply my contouring powder and it works really good for under the cheek bones I was using the e.l.f bronzing brush, but this one has replaced it. 

You can find this brush on Sigma Beauty for $16 which is a really good price for a great brush.

If you don't already have this brush you should really get it! Buy Here

This brush washes easy and dries to it's original shape. The handle is just the right length and the right thickness for my hand. The bristle's are nice and short and dense bristles and buff's the powder into the skin.

You can use this brush with powder or liquid foundation. To give you a flawless finish.

I give this brush a A+!
