Matt Picks Monday

Today, I told Matt he couldn't pick ANOTHER Orly polish (haha), so he picked Zoya's Maya. Maya is a coral/salmon pink jelly that I recently got in a swap :) Two coats work well for natural lighting, but with a camera, it's spotty, so these pictures are three coats.

Zoya Barbie

Yesterday, I got my Zoya package from their last promo in the mail & just HAD to put Barbie on. I must say this is my new favorite polish :). It's a creamy shimmery pink that covered well with two coats, but I put three just for a little extra coverage.

that's all :) hope this inspires everyone's inner Barbie.

31 Day Nail Challenge Day Eight: Metallic Nails

For my metallic nails, I used Julep Sienna & stamped my ring finger with Zoya Noel :)

My first Birchbox!

Yesterday, my first Birchbox came in, and I didn't get home to open it until today
Inside contained
1. Jouer lip enhancer
     -Coming from a chapstick/lip balm addict, I like this product :) not something I'd use as often as chapstick/lip balm, but if I carried it with me all the time I'd use it daily.
2. Kate Spade New York Twirl (perfume)
     - I LOVE this scent :) it reminds me of Mary Kay's Velocity line
3. Thymes Eucalyptus body lotion & Kimono Rose body lotion
    - Not a big fan of Eucalyptus, but I love how my skin feels after using this lotion. I've yet to try the                      Kimono Rose
4. Zoya Noel mini
     -There's no other way to describe this one other than with a picture :)... or three

this one is done in natural light

another in natural light :) against the silver of my macbook

this one is done with iPhone 4 flash :/ doesn't really show the color that well.

5. Alex & Isabelle classic hair tie
     - this is one I'm looking forward to try :) I first saw it on a friend of mine's blog (Rainbows & Sparkles) and thought it would be an awesome thing to try :)

I'm excited about the products I got in this month's Birchbox, and can't wait to see what will come in the next :)
