Duck Dynasty nail polish and beauty items

Who would have thought Duck Dynasty would have come out with a polish/beauty accessory line. I mean, they do have just about everything else, so it was due to come eventually. After seeing the spotted pictures on a fellow blog back in November, I freaked out and had to find them! But.......working in retail and commuting during the holiday season made my search very hard. I only got started with my search last week:( The line is only found at Walmart and is very HTF. Most has gone to clearance and some stores never received it. I have gone to 7, yes 7, Walmart's in 5 different cities to find  these guys. There's 2 I didn't get to, and believe me, I will find the time to complete my collection. I'm missing 5 colors and it's driving me crazy.  If you are on the search for these, look everywhere in the beauty department. I found many colors just thrown on random shelves, on a clearance endcap in beauty, on bottom shelves of in aisle displays and in boxes in the regular clearance isles.

I'm a huge fan of the show, and think the beauty line is a really cool idea. There's nothing DD that I would ever want to buy but now, I have my piece of the DD craze. The line including 15 nail polish colors, nail stickers, nail files, purse manicure kits, glue on nails, nail decals, temporary tattoos, tweezers, bath scrubbies  that has their head on it ( imagine showering with Jase, oh boy!!!) and Chapstick. The only pieces I really had to have was the polish of course  but I needed up grabbing nail decals, nail stickers , tweezers and a mani kit. I would fell kinda creepy using something that had the guys head on it to bath myself even it was Jase. 

Overall, the formulas  of the polish are pretty great. Equal to OPI or China Glaze. It's a wide selection of  pretty and unique colors. Not to mention the pretty cool names. The Si tweezers work good too. Along the line of the Revlon slanted tip tweezers. I would prefer for them to be thinner like Tweezerman but hey, as long as they get those pesky hairs, that's all that's important. I haven't tried the nail stickers yet, but I hope they will stay at least a couple of days. The nail decals I have used , and worked great! Just remember to use a top coat for a long lasting design.

If you across any of these items, especially the polish, grab it up quick!

Cindy Crawford Meaningful Beauty Creme de Serum review

It's been a crazy few months. I've finally had a chance to blog! I received a sample size of Meaningful Beauty Creme de Serum complimentary from Influenser for testing purposes a couple weeks. Yay! Another VoxBox! I have seen the infomercials about this line many times and was always interested. Meaningful Beauty claims that the Creme de Serum "helps protect, increase hydration and prevent the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles" I usually don't buy into these claims, but after using MB Creme de Serum, I really see a difference in my skin. The formula is very creamy, applies smooth and is very lightweight. The only drawback for possible users is the fragrant smell. It's a bit strong for a face treatment. It does bother me, but may for sensitive persons. My skin feels so soft and keeps my skin looking fresh and illuminate. My fine line around my eyes and lips seem less noticeable only after 2 weeks. I'd love to try the whole program, and see how it improves my skin. Overall this a great product that I will buy but feel that the price ,$64.00 at beauty retailers, is a bit high for the serum. I would probably just purchase from the Meaning Beauty website here and get the system for $39.99.

small vent

is it just me or are you all tired of seeing the same ol' collections year after year for the holidays? Or the same color/glitter/texture/whatever hot craze from different brands. Sooooo frustrating. Where is the creativity! China Glaze seems to be the best at switching stuff up and OPI the worse. So expensive and so boring!!! Need them to get on the ball. !!!!

MAC Prep + Prime BB cream compact

I have tried so many BB creams looking for something that will give me decent coverage without a heavy makeup feel but no luck. The closest I have found were Loreal Youth Code and Physicans Formula Super BB. Both had decent coverage and long wear, but settled into my lines and the colors just didn't match my skin tone.,I don't like the fact that a lot of these BB creams have only 2 shades to choose from. It really singles out millions of women who want to try BB. I saw MAC a cream too and I was super curious about it. But after reading the reviews and playing around with the tester, it was another no go for me. Pretty much, most BB are for teens and people in their 20's that have nice, pretty skin. Not older women with wrinkles, red blotches and saggy skin. Sigh. But I believe I have found a perfect one for us! I dropped by the MAC counter to see if they were getting Rick Baker line ( no they are not:((() and spotted BB compacts. The formula was nice and creamy and came in 9 shades! I asked the lady working to help me chose a shade and she applied light plus to one side of my face and light to the other. Light plus was abut darker than my skin tone and still showed all my flaws and did not blend well with my jaw line. Light worked out perfect. It came me enough coverage and I feel it really brightened my face up. It did not settle in my lines and pores and dried to a nice semi-matte. I'm just looking for a nice, lightweight everyday foundation and this is such a winner!!! You can find it for $30 at MAC counters/stores and of course online and yet again, it's available in 9 shades. I just looked at the wed site and they only had the fair skin shades up which is weird, but I'm sure they will all be up soon. Quick tip too. I prefer to use a small stipple brush to apply instead of the sponge provided. It gave me more control of my coverage. 

Day 12- stripes

I wanted to get a little creative so I tried  to do some texture stripes. I used Sinful Colors Orange Cream as a base then for my stripes, Sally Hansen Sugar Coat in Cotton Candies, Sour Apple and Bubble Plum. I think for my newbie ways plus I was high on cough medicine, it came out ok. I used a small brush from my bundle monster brush/dotting tool set. If I had slowed Dow and payed closer attention, it would have been more epic. But I'm with the results and toe it is pretty cute and unique:))

Nail challenge wrap up so far.

Hey there! So, my life has been crazy lately, and it's only getting crazier. I wanted to post on my blog everyday, but has not worked out. I barely can get my nails done and posted on IG. They are not as creative as I hope but I'm proud that I have not missed a day yet:)))

Day 3

Day 3 - yellow! I can say I have never had yellow nails. Never really go for that color and most of my yellows are so pale, it's boring. But, I did pick up Bananappeal from the SinfulShine line and I just love it! I didn't want to just paint them yellow. I was inspired by the awesome shade to do a little nail art. Ok, it's not my best work, but I'm still learning. Poor Homer looks a little wonky, but hey, it's all for fun:)
