NEW YOUTUBER TAG

Men's Degree Motion Sense Dry Spray

         It has been a while back since I got this. It was a sample that was sent to me, but I actually do not remember where I got it from. The reason it has taken me so long to write this review is that I actually never intended to use this. I was going to give it to my son.

        The last month or  so here in Nebraska it has gotten really hot and humid. My typical deodorant, which is Suave, just was not cutting it in this weather. I then remembered that I had this and decided to give the Degree Men's Motion Sense Dry Spray a try. Once I used it that first time, I was hooked.

     Yes, I know that it is a men's antiperspirant, but I really love it. It controls the odor and I do not feel so sweaty and gross. The can says it is the 48 hour antiperspirant, and they are not wrong. It actually does last 48 hours. I know this, because I accidentally tested it. The next day after my first time of using it I forgot to put on deodorant. I could not tell, as I did not stink and feel sweaty. So it does last a long time. Now, I have to clarify, that I am not sure it lasts 48 hours, because I went a head and applied some more when I realized I had forgotten my deodorant, which was half way through the next day. So I do know that it lasts 24 hours at least.

     It has a clean, musky scent which I like. I do not like sweet smelling deodorant, so this suited me just fine. The name of the scent is Adventure. I noticed on the Walmart website that it comes in many different senses, but the Adventure is the one that I received in my sample.

    Wal-Mart's website prices this at about $5.00. I have not priced this anywhere else, but that is about the going price for name brand deodorant or antiperspirant.

    I do highly recommend this for all you active people, be you male your female. It helps to control odor, especially in the hot days of summer. And, if you happen to forget to put it on the next day, you will still be covered.

Cofeemate Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Flavored Creamer

http://www.someecards.com/usercards/viewcard/the-older-i-get-the-more-crucial-that-first-cup-of-coffee-in-the-morning-becomes-0b210          

          I was looking around the Internet for a perfect quote to start off my blog. I ran across this quote which describes me perfectly. This quote was found on the website someecards. I cannot take the credit for coming up with something this clever.

        The reason I wanted to start with this quote is to show you how much of a coffee addict I am. I drink a lot of coffee. In fact I probably keep the coffee companies in business since I drink so much. I take my coffee with cream and sugar. Not just any creamer either. It must be flavored.

      Last month, I decided to venture out and try a new flavor. I purchased Coffee mate toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie flavored creamer. And let me tell you, I was hooked right after that first cup.

      This creamer has a smooth, chocolaty taste that should satisfy any chocoholic. I could not get enough of that creamer.

     The Coffee Mate website at https://www.coffee-mate.com/Products/default.aspx#01261d4d-cb2a-49b5-b755-d8a93d998e45    describes it as being the taste of home baked in a cup. They are not far off in that description at all. 

      The only con to this creamer, is that I could not find a bigger bottle than 16 ounces. Being a big coffee drinker like I am, that did not last long at all. I hope that Coffee Mate eventually comes out with a bigger bottle in this flavor, or I might have to petition my Congressman,lol.

      I highly recommend this product to anyone that is a coffee lover like I am. And, even if you are not a coffee addict, you will be soon after trying this creamer. You won't be able to get enough.

FAVORITE NAIL POLISH COLORS FOR ONLY $1

Miss Jen Fabulous

 Normally, I do reviews on products. Today, however, I thought that I would switch it up and do a review about a You Tuber that I absolutely am addicted to.

  I am talking about Jen of missjenfabulous. I absolutely love her videos, especially her nail art videos. When I see her videos uploaded and in my subscription page, I jump on it immediately no matter what I was going to do. I have to watch them immediately. 

  I started watching her about a year ago. I cannot even count the number of times I watch her Nail Art for Beginners play list from start to finish. She makes doing nail art look so easy. Jen is so good at doing these as she thoroughly explains every step. The designs are amazing.

  I am subscribed to a number of nail art vloggers, and there are only two that I constantly go back to for inspiration. Sara from Sara Beauty Corner, and Jen from missjenfabulous. Jen, though, is the first one that I turn to.

  I have been known to get out nail polishes and nail art supplies that I have, go to her nail art play lists, and sit there and watch her videos while doing my nails. The only problem with that, is that I constantly change my mind on what design I want to use.

  I am not even close to being as good as her. I struggle with the designs, as I have a shaky left hand and bad eye sight. I have a hard time doing my non dominant hand. I keep hoping that I will eventually get better at it.

  So if you are in the mood to learn some nail art, I highly recommend that you turn to Jen's YouTube channel. She will definitely inspire you, and you will learn so much from her. If you decide you want to check her out, I will leave her channel link below. If you like these kinds of reviews on You Tubers as well as products, leave a comment below and let me know.

Review of Coastal Scents Ultimate 252 Palette

  Today, I thought that I would write my review about Coastal Scents Ultimate 252 Palette. I have had this palette since March, and I absolutely love it. Some of the colors in this palette are not as pigmented as the others, but that easily solved by putting it over a cream base.

  This palette comes in a sleek,black case. It is plain, but yet stylish. The lettering on the front is in a silverish grey color. It just says 252 Ultimate Palette, and then under that, it says Coastal Scents. I am going to insert a picture here so that you can see what it looks like, I have to ask you to ignore how bad it looks as it was my fault. I had some finger prints on it and tried to wash them off and removed some of the writing. The one thing I do like about the case, is even if it has all those colors inside, it is not big and bulky. It is slim and rather easy to handle.

As I said, in my last paragraph, there are three trays located inside. Each of the trays has a small red ribbon that hangs out a slot on the side. This makes it easy to remove each of the trays to get to the one that you like. I could not get all three trays in one picture, so here are the two pictures of the trays and all the beautiful colors contained in each one.

  Here are some swatches as well. There are too many to swatch all of them, but I thought that I would show you a few of the colors. There are no names that I could see on the back for the colors, or numbers either.

  As you can see, the colors in these trays are absolutely gorgeous.

 There are so many different looks that you can get with this palette, that it is unreal. I do have other eyeshadows, but I tend to reach for this one the most. The pigmentation on these are so good, and they blend really well. They are not chalky or too powdery. You do, however, get a tiny bit of fall out but not that much. 

  You cannot beat the price of this palette either. It costs $29.95, the shipping price does vary, however. They charge by the weight, unless you order $50 or more, then it is free. I will put the link to this item below, if you want to check it out.

  I do highly recommend this product. It is of very good quality for the price that it is. And with all the different looks you can come up with, not sure how many other palettes you would need in your collection. Here is the link to the palette and the Coastal Scents website.

Inspired Nail Art Design

    I was trying really hard not to wear nail polish till my nails grew out. I was using cuticle oil nail strengthener, but no nail polish. Then I ran across two videos on YouTube that had some beautiful nail art that did not require any tools and I caved in. The design I am about to show you was inspired by superWOWstyle, https://www.youtube.com/user/SuperWowstyle and Sara from Sara https://www.youtube.com/user/SaraBeautyCorner.

  Here is a picture of this beautiful design. I have to say, also I broke down and did this for the Fourth of July, even though it was about over by the time I did it. 

  This was a really simple design to do. I will list the steps that I did and hopefully that will help. I should of taken pictures of each step, but I was being an air head and did not think of it at the time. The glow you see around my nails is cuticle oil and not nail polish. So without rambling anymore, here are the steps.

  1. The first thing you want to do is to apply a base coat to protect your nail.

 2. The second step is to paint your nails white. Let this dry before moving on to the next step.

  3. The next step is to put a little bit of red nail polish or acrylic paint, which ever you prefer, on to a piece of paper, or paper plate or something along that order.

 4. You then dab your finger tip into the nail polish, dabbing some of it off onto the paper or paper towel so you have just a little on your finger tip.

  5. You then do the same with the blue color.

   6. The final step is to let this dry for a few minutes, clean up any mess on your skin with acetone and a small brush. Then apply your fast drying top coat and you are done.

  You can do this technique with any colors you choose. It does not matter where you place your red and nail polish on your nails. You can put them randomly on your nails.

  So you see, you can do beautiful nail art without any professional tools. If you want to see more great nail art, check out those two channels that I posted above.

  I hope that you enjoyed reading this and learning a new way of doing nail art. Until next time, you all have a wonderful day.

  

  

Favorite Nail Polish in My Collection

  Over the last few months, I have turned into a nail polish addict. I add to my collection every time  I have the extra money. My collection does not have any high end nail polish as of yet, but I am looking to eventually add some.

  Today, I thought that I would list here some of my favorite colors in my collection. I will be showing swatches of each color. I will also be  sharing the good and the bad of each of the brands. The best part about these polishes is that the most expensive one is $2.00.

  The first one I want to talk about is the most expensive. It is by Wet 'N Wild. It is in their Megalast line. It is a gorgeous shade of red. The name of this polish is called Rebel in Love. I think that is a perfect name for this color. This bottle cost me $2.00 at Dollar General. One of the things I love about this line of polishes is the width of the brush. I can normally apply one coat in just one swipe. Rebel in Love is a one coater. It is very opaque. The only negative I have about this polish is that you have to be careful as it has a tendency to run down the brush. 

  The next three that I want to mention come from the brand Broadway Nails. These can be found at Dollar General for just one dollar. There are a lot of shades, but for now I only have four of them. One of the shades I will be discussing I do not have a picture of the swatch as could not get a clear one as it is too dark on the swatch wheel for my camera.

  The color I want to talk about that I do not have a picture of, is a beautiful shimmery grey color. The name of this polish is Gunmetal. The name pretty much describes this color to a tee. It is really pretty on the nail. As you can see by the picture the amount of the shimmer is pretty light.

  The next polish from the brand Broadway Nails I want to mention is a very pretty blue. The name of the color is Bowling Ball. I do not know how they came up with the name of some of the polishes, but nonetheless it is a beautiful color.This one is fully opaque in two thin coats or one thick on. I do have to add with all of the Broadway Nail polishes, you have to be careful as they have a tendency to run down the brush, so you will have to wipe it quite a bit to keep that from happening, but the color payoff is well worth the extra work.

  The third one that I want to talk about from the Broadway Nails line is a beautiful neon orange. You do not need a white base under this one, but a white base really makes this color pop. The name of this color is Sunflower. Again, I do not know how they came up with this name, as to me sunflowers are yellow. I have a thing for bright orange nail polish so could not pass this one up. This one does take two coats to be fully opaque, as it is a sheer formula.

  The last one I want to talk about from the Broadway Nails line is a really bright in your face green. The name of this polish is Central Park. This polish is a little sheer and does take three coats. It is, however worth it. I love this color, especially for summer. It is so bright that it pops on its own, but on top of a white base it really pops.

  All in all I do highly recommend this brand. For a dollar, you cannot beat the number of shades available as well as the color payoff. One of the other downfalls to this polish, however, is that it only lasts a couple of days or so before it starts chipping.

  The next three polishes I want to mention come from LA Colors. They are found in Dollar Tree, Family Dollar and a lot of other places. They cost a dollar, and come in a bunch of different shades and formulas. They have glitter toppers as well as creams. The down fall to LA Colors is that the formulas on these are hit and miss. Some of them go on really nice and smooth, and the other ones go on a little streaky and patchy. They also chip pretty fast as well.

  The first shade I want to mention is a really pretty coral shade. The name of this shade is Frill. I really love this color, and I have used it in some nail art and it works wonders. This color, however, is a little sheer, so it does require three coats to be fully opaque. It applies easily and is not patchy or streaky when I have used it.

The next polish I want to discuss from LA Colors is a bright fuchsia colors. If you have not seen a trend yet, I tend to gravitate towards bright colors,lol. This color is a great polish and is opaque in one coat. The formula on this polish is really good for a dollar nail polish.The name of the polish is Electra. I really like this color, and tend to use this one quite a bit, just by itself or in nail art.

The last color I want to mention from LA Colors is a pretty, shimmery silver.  I use this quite often as just an accent nail. It has a lot of shimmer to it as it is a metallic nail polish. The formula on this polish is really good, even though it takes two coats to be fully opaque. The picture of the bottle did not come out real good. I had a hard time getting a good swatch on the wheel that would look good in pictures. I am sorry that I cannot show you what it looks like on. But if you are looking for a beautiful metallic silver, check this one out. By the way, the name of this polish is Live.

  That is all the ones that I wanted to show you today. I am sorry that this blog is so long this time, but this is just scratching the surface of my favorite nail polish colors.

  

  I recommend all of the brands that I posted about here, as they are really affordable and they are of really good quality for the price that you pay.
