"Can I get a Untz-Untz?!"

Well, my summer is officially over halfway over.

:/

Teachers have to be back in less than a month.

BUT, I'm still in summer mani mode,

so I'm keeping those coming.

Today's mani features the happy glitter from CG's Electric Nights collection,

'Can I get a Untz-Untz?" over CG's 'Boho Blues':

'Can I get a Untz-Untz?" has variously sized lime green, purple, neon green, and neon blue glitters.

I didn't really even notice the purple glitter until I swatched it,

and I'm glad they used all of the the 'cool' colors for this glitter.

I actually really liked it over 'Boho Blues', as well.

As with the other glitters from their summer collection,

formula was GREAT, and I didn't have to fish for any glitters a single time.

:D

That's saying something!

*FeStIvAl* look

Well, it's that time of year!

Festivals are everywhere you go.

I recently just came back from Bonnaroo,

and the amazing Electric Forest started yesterday.

There are a million & a half things you'll see at festivals,

but all the bright/neon lights/colors are one of the first things I think of aside from the music.

As such, I decided to revisit my Sleek Acid palette & create a fun, festy look!

I used:

UD Primer Potion

Various Sleek Acid palette shadows

Covergirl Line Exact liquid eyeliner

Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara

The blending isn't quite as good as I would have liked,

but it's not too bad.

Either way, to me- it's fun and definitely something reminiscent to me of a festival!

:)

CG's 'Point me to the Party'

I have a lively, happy glitter for ya'll today.

After being at Bonnaroo this past week,

I'm all about some bright/happy/neon/hippie stuff.

Hence, I FINALLY watched 'Point me to the Party' from CG's Electric Nights collection.

I've swatched it over Essie's 'Muchi Muchi':

This reminds me strongly of a neon glitter that Polish Me Silly (previously Lush Lacquer) put out a couple years ago.

Consistency was great, and I actually did NOT have to fish for glitters- which was awesome!

I love it :)

GG's 'More to Explore'

This is the last polish I have from CG's Spring Roadtrip collection,

and it's a nice Summer polish, too. 

Here's 3 coats of 'More to Explore':

'More to Explore' is a bright, peach cream. The formal was 'eh', as was the formula for most of this collection. By the time they released Electric Nights, however, they made up for it.

Regardless, this is a beautiful, happy color that I love wearing on my short, messed up nail :P

CG's Electric Nights Summer collection- 'Treble Maker'

Happy Weekend!

It's a nice, long 3-day weekend for tons of people here in the States.

Lots of sunshine, boating, drinking, eating, and general partying is going on :P

As such, I have a bright, party-isn neon for you today.

I have to apologize in advance for my nails.

I had to pack up my classroom for the summer,

and the boxes/moving were not kind to my nails :/

Anyway, here's 2 coats of 'Treble Maker'.

'Treble Maker' is a neon lime/blue-green that is sure to draw attention.

Formula was good; not streaky or thin like CG's Spring collection.

Opacity was good- it only took 2 coats to reach :)

Cocktail Makeup Series- Kiwi Blueberry Mojito

It's that time again!

Now that the warmer weather/summer is basically upon us,

it's time for my annual Cocktail Makeup Series :)

Today's look is based off of this gem that I found on Pinterest:
Kiwi Blueberry Mojito

This bad boy looks DELISH.

(Find the full recipe here!)

These colors are two of my favorite to play with on my eyes,

so I was really excited to create a variation of this for my series.

Here's my look:

I used:

UD's Primer Potion

UD's 'Sabbath' & 'Heroine'- crease

Sugarpill's 'Afterparty' & Sleek's 'Bolt'- highlight

Sleek's 'Powi' & 'Cream Soda'- inner corners

Sleek's 'Pear Drop', 'Mint Cream', & 'Cricket'- lid/lower lash line

Covergirl Clump Crusher mascara

Colourpop Cosmetics - Julep

I have another one of the four lippies I purchased the other day to show you!

This one is another pink, but it's much more toned down than 'Go Fish'.

Here's Julep:

Julep is described as "a bright red coral" cream... but I don't know about the 'red' part :)

This was really a gorgeous color that's perfect for Spring or Summer.

The creamy texture to the hippie was great,

and I would definitely suggest it for the upcoming season!

:)

Colourpop Cosmetics- 'Go Fish'

Happy Mother's Day!!

So I know I've been MIA of a week or two again,

but the end of the school year is truly winding down now,

(I have ONE full week left!)

and my schedule is crazy busy.

However, I finally took some time to blog about 1 of the 4 new Colourpop lippies that I ordered a week or two ago.

Today's post is about 'Go Fish'.

This is the first Hyper Glossy lippie that I've tried.

I usually prefer a matte finish,

so I was skeptical about liking this one.

Here it is:

'Go Fish' is described as a "vibrant, coral-red"... but it's more of a vibrant, hot pink ;)

Either way, IT'S AWESOME.

I couldn't believe how much I loved it.

Summer is a perfect time for a lippie like this,

and I can't wait to break it out :)

CG's Electric Nights collection- 'Glow with the Flow'

Ittttttt's almost May!

What?! How is that even possible?

Anyway, May = summer, and summer = neons.

THUS, I have yet another neon from CG's Electric Nights collection :)

Here's 3 coats of 'Glow with the Flow':

Just as it looks, 'Glow with the Flow' is a vivacious neon pink :)

It's probably one of my favorites from the collection, as simple as it is.

Consistency was good, and it took 3 coats- but it was opaque after that.

I love it! :)

Caribbean Cruise

Hello, everyone!

I just got back from my honeymoon, (Princess Cays and Turks & Caicos),

and I did a Caribbean inspired look for it :)

Summer in October, hey hey.

Here's my Caribbean Cruise, last-of-summer look:

I was focused mainly on that Caribbean-water blue on the second half of the lid :)

It matched my dress perfectly, and I thought it looked exactly like the water outside our window!

I used (all UD shadows):

Too Faced's Shadow Insurance

'Vanilla'- inner corner

'Deep End'- second half of lid

'Prank' & 'Revolver'- crease

'Madness'- highlight over crease

Covergirl Line Exact eyeliner

L'Oreal mascara (to be reviewed soon!!)

What do you guys think of this look?

Remind you of the beach?

Back from Hiatus... time for Hemp! ;)

Sorry for my mini hiatus, everyone!

We've been in the process of moving, and we've just now got wifi hooked back up.

I still don't know if I'll be able to post as often as I used to,

but it will definitely be more often than lately!

Anyway, I figured I'd start my return with a bong, i mean, bang :P

I came across this brand Hempz in Ulta several months ago,

and finally a couple weeks ago I went back & scooped up some stuff.

Here's their self tanner & a body wash:

I'll do a full review of both of these products soon,

but so far, I will say- WOW!

The self tanner works wonderfully, and the body wash smells

AMAZEBALLS.

Have any of you ever tried this brand?!

I'm super curious to know what your experience has been!

I have high hopes for these products,

but I will keep you posted :)

Revlon Matte Lip Balm- 'Unapologetic'

Ya'll know I love these matte balms form Revlon.

I'm finally posting about another one today that is bright & perfect for summer.

Here's 'Unapologetic'.

As always, this baby went on super smooth.

It's staying power is redonkulous,

and the bright pink gives you a perfect pop of color.

:)
