Me Encanta Tu Blog Award!

I was tagged for the blog award by KarenD of Frazzle and Anipolish. (You all should check out her blog. She has amazingly clear swatch pics, info on new polish and sales.) I am pretty excited about this award. It is my first blog award and I am so grateful. Plus, check out the awesome award- the blog world must have some how found out my obsession with Spongebob ;x

The award came with questions to be answered:

1. Why did you create the blog?
I actually started this blog a few days before a job interview to kind of develop a few pieces to showcase my work, as I didn't have any recent articles/papers written. I didn't get the job but I am glad that it pushed me to develop further within social media and writing because I really enjoy it!

2. What kind of blogs do you follow?
I follow a ton of nail blogs and beauty/fashion blogs. I also follow a few soap making blogs because I just have a slight infatuation with them =]

3. Do you have a favorite make-up brand?
I don't really wear makeup, except eyeliner, a little powder and the occasional mascara and lipstick. So I can't really say!

4. And a favorite clothing brand?
My favorite clothing brand is Armani Exchange. My bf works there and ever since he started I actually gave the clothes a chance. I always thought they were too expensive but they fit well and most of their items are good quality.

5. What make-up products are essential for you?
I always wear eyeliner!

6. What's your favorite colour?
Green

7. What's your favorite perfume?
This is pretty typical but my favorite perfume is Fantasy by Britney Spears.

8. What's the film you liked the most?
I have way too many but the one movie that I could watch over and over is Selena.

9. What countries would you like to go?
I want to travel the whole world but I would love to go somewhere exotic, like Brazil.

I am tagging the following blogs for this award:

A Day in the Life of Dollface

Candy Coated Tips

LinZ Lacquer

Blue Tape and Nail Tips

Tis' the Season! feat. American Apparel Peacock

American Apparel Peacock is an awesome navy/dark teal colored polish. This is my first American Apparel nail polish and I must say I LOVE the brush. It's amazing! This applies ok. I found the polish to be slightly thick in the bottle but not bad when applying, if that makes any sense! 

For the stripes, I used Milani 3D. I have mentioned this polish a few times on this blog and have used it in previous posts. I adore this gold holo!

For the bow on the accent nail I used Lori Anne Metallic Red. I have never heard of this brand, it is just something I had in my stash. If any one knows more about these nail polishes I would love to know. The formula is thin but not as sheer as I expected it to be for having such a thin formula. The brush for this polish is awesome as well. As a little highlight for the bow I used Jordana White Pearl, which is a frosty white polish!

The stripes and bow were done using a dotting tool. Not perfect, but *oh well* =]

*CLOSED* BOOTY SHAPERS REVIEW (no...not THAT booty!) and GIVEAWAY

Sponsored by Tomoson.com

I HATE creased boots/shoes. My mother is always telling me to take better care of my boots. I'm one to just throw them in the closet, but get very upset when I see a crease that wasn't there before. So when Booty Shapers sent me an item to review, I was excited. Booty Shapers are inflatable inserts that you slip into your boots to keep them from creasing and for storing upright.

First of all, the packaging is cute and compact. If I can't store it easily, I don't want it. But with Booty Shapers the conveniently small packaging make it great for storing. The pattern on the Booty Shaper itself is cute as well.

With Booty Shapers, the directions are pretty simple. All you have to do is blow up the inserts (just like a balloon) and slip them inside of your boots. However, saying one thing and being able to do it are two different things. These were a little difficult to inflate so I suggest if you have a pump, use that. I ended up sticking a straw into the blow hole in order to blow it up because it was just not working by using my mouth alone.

The Booty Shapers do have a strong plastic odor to it, so I suggest letting them air out before you even attempt to inflate them and insert them into your boots. 

The best thing about Booty Shapers are that they are reusable. However, if you want to deflate them, it may take a while.

In my opinion, Booty Shapers are a simple way to keep your boots from folding or increased creasing when they are not being worn. If you are willing to have to struggle a bit with inflating the shapers, then I suggest these are the right things for you and your boots!

Booty Shapers retail for under $10 a pair and is a great stocking stuffer for that girl you know that LOVES her boots. They are available in different patterns and 3 sizes: Small (for ankle and calf length boots), Large (for calf and knee high boots) and Extra Large (for knee and thigh high boots)

They are available at select Bed, Bath & Beyond, CVS.com, Drugstore.com, and Organize.com.

REVLON PERPLEX SWATCH

Below are swatch pics of Revlon Perplex. This is two coats with one coat of Seche Vite.You could get away with one coat of Perplex but you may get some bald spots. I am really liking this color. I am a little disappointed, however, that the bottle shows more purple shimmer than what actually shows up on the nail ;/ This deep plum color is awesome either way though! (These pics are color accurate.)
