CND VINYLUX WEEKLY POLISH  I know summer is officially over but I love blue nail polish. It is so beachy for me. I was so excited when I found this at Loxa Beauty because I needed another light blue nail polish since the one I had was officially finished. I had never used CND Vinylux polish before only their gel polish, but since I love that so much I figured I would give it a try. First, let me say it glides on creamy and smooth which is awesome for someone like me who is challenged in painting my nails. CND Vinylux is a weekly or seven day polish. Basically, it is like any other non-gel polish as far as applying goes.  Just make sure to use your top coat. Wait a minute in between coats and then apply a thin layer let dry and repeat. I like three coats of polish, especially with any lighter colors. Then I will use my glossy top coat. I liked that this polish was a little like their gel polish in the way it has a thicker coat when it dries. The polish ...

What's not to love about these palettes from The Balm Cosmetics . I tried my first palette from The Balm Cosmetics on a whim because I was going out of town and wanted an easy makeup routine. Lucky for me, I found this cute little California palette which by the way I was traveling too so I had to have it. Can I just say it is amazing and I cannot wait to buy more. This particular color scheme gave me a light natural look.

It is so easy to use because you have everything right there. I also love that you can double the eyeshadows as eyeliner and the highlighter can be used all over. The palette is...

Planning a wedding is one of the greatest experiences you will have in your life. Part of this experience is your beauty, hairstyle and makeup needs. How you look on your wedding day is something you will remember forever. Plan your hairstyle and makeup ahead of time and you will look simply radiant. Consider having your hair and makeup done by a professional. Schedule a trial run. Don't make any drastic changes to your hair until after the wedding. Make sure you are comfortable with the person you have hired to be a part of your day. Your makeup should be similar to how you normally wear it "you only better" unless you are going for a specific look that has been agreed upon in the trial. Try false eyelashes for more dramatic eyes. Waterproof mascara and eyeliner is a must! Take along pressed powder for touch ups. This is especially important for your wedding photographs.
