NOTD - China Glaze Concrete Catwalk

 This is one of my favorite nail polishes that I have bought recently. China Glaze Concrete Catwalk is from the new Metro collection, as you can see from my previous post below. 

This color is described as a Steel grey creme. I have been loving creme polishes more than ever lately. This was very opaque and only needed 2 coats. I feel like I need to apologize for my nails being so short. I had decided last month to get arcylics (bad idea) and ended up taking them off. I couldn't get used them. What do you use to grow your nails healthy and long? Any recommendations would be great to hear! My nails are barely starting to look normal, so now I can wear polish and feel like my old self. Haha :)

Anyways, how much do you love this color?! I know, I will let you tell me. :)

China Glaze Metro Collection Swatches

China Glaze Metro Collection is one of my favorite collections that have came out recently. There are 12 amazing shades that are beautiful colors for Fall. I have 5 of the 12 polishes swatched on a nail wheel. I only used a nail wheel because it made it easier to swatch them all. I will be featuring each one in a NOTD post as I wear them. All of them were super opaque and easy to apply, as usual with CG. Now, China Glaze did send me 3 of the polishes and I bought the other two. I just wanted to state that in my post. Now here are the swatches!

I hope these swatches help out. I love all of the different shades, it's so hard for me to pick a favorite. I even want to go back to Sally's and get the rest. If I do I will have a second post on the rest that I can find. 

Which polishes are you wanting from the Metro Collection?

Pure Fiji Coconut Sugar Rub and Coconut Body Oil Review

  I had never heard of Pure Fiji until I was contacted recently to try out a few of their products. Most of the products focus on skin care that include lotions, creams, scrubs, nourishing oils and body butters. Pure Fiji’s mission is to provide high-end spa products, which utilize botanical benefits, herbal curatives, and remedies that have been employed by the Fijian people for years. So today I have 2 reviews: On the Coconut Sugar Scrub and the body oil. I will start with the Sugar scrub.

Brand Bests #15 - Senna Cosmetics

I feel like this Brand Best post for Senna Cosmetics is long over due. Senna has some of the best and most amazing quality products that I have ever used. This brand is more on the pricey side, but you definitely get what you pay for. Everyone should know how my Brand Bests posts work, but in case you don't, let me explain. These are products from one brand that I personally think are "Brand Bests." Does not mean I have tried every single thing from them, only that these are my favorites of what I own. This is my own personal opinion with each product, as it should be. So, here are my Brand Bests from Senna Cosmetics. 

Senna Cosmetics Eye Colors - $16.50

Senna has great eye shadows, I preferably like their metallic and matte ones. They are really easy to blend, are very pigmented, and always last all day long. I only have a couple, but I do have some new ones from Fall coming up that they sent me that I will definitely be swatching and reviewing in a separate post. My favorite color is Flare, which is a light cream color. I use it as my highlight or an all over color for simple nude eyelids.

Senna Cosmetics Mineral Mix Buff & Brighten - $35.00

I love how this has a finishing powder and a highlighter in one. I love the powder, it makes my makeup look complete without it ever looking cakey or overdone. It's a very sheer translucent powder so it's not like you can go overboard with this. I also really enjoy the highlighter. I use a blending eyeshadow brush for the highlighter, giving me a subtle shine.

Senna Cosmetics Cream Lipsticks - $18.00

Senna has many different types of lipsticks, but I love their Cream lipsticks the most. They are so pigmented and for me, they have been long lasting as well. Very smooth and the color range they offer is amazing. I have swatches of their lipsticks here and here.

Senna Cosmetics Lip Lacquers - $19.00

If you want to try anything from Senna, I say you try their lip lacquers. They are my most favorite thing that I own by them. I love these lip glosses! They are semi-sticky, but not like that crazy sticky where it gets stuck to your hair and it's annoying. These will stay on for hours and they have a great smell to them. Double win. You will definitely find one in a color that interests you.

That concludes my Brand Bests post on Senna Cosmetics. I hope you enjoyed!

Beauty Budget - Burt's Bees Facial Cleansing Towelettes Review

 Who else uses makeup wipes on a daily basis? I feel like they are so much more easier and faster to use. I always use the Target brand facial cleansing wipes. They are about $3 and always work really well. I was recently at Walgreens when I was reminded I needed more makeup wipes. I saw these Burt's Bees (Which I had no idea Burt's Bees even made cleansing towelettes) and decided to give them a try. Usually I love everything from Burt's Bees, so I knew with my sensitive skin that they couldn't be that harsh.
