My June 2012 Birchbox

So yesterday I received my second Birchbox which actually had made me semi-meh for it.  There are actually three items in it I was not fond of receiving at all.  I am thankful though that Birchbox did send them to me, but it just is not for me.

Nail Polish: Essie Mojito Madness

I received this polish from Klout.com and would not be possible without you many followers!  So thank you for making this possible!
I was so excited upon getting one of Essie's summer collection polishes for free.  At first they made it sound like it was more than one, but either way I was happy.  If you know me, you know I love my polishes!
Oh Mojito Madness you are one serious gorgeous lime green color.

I say this would look super nice with some hot fuchsia shade on top of it.  Got to do a nail look with this polish soon. 
I love the formula of Essie nail polishes.  Though sometimes I try to avoid spending $8+ on polishes, they are still worth the grab here and there.
Do you have a favorite Essie polish?  Did you get the Essie perk from Klout?

My current nails: Neon and Black

I actually woke up today at 6:40am and got to doing a gradient splatter scene on my nails, since I couldn't go back to sleep (thanks hubs for allowing the alarm to scream).  I was suppose to do my nails yesterday but after five designs on my hand, I was just not feeling it.

A little FiS moment

I did a little FiS and picked up some goodies.  I am still trying not to spend so much at the moment.  Since a lot of family or coming down and the two special love of my life boys' birthday is coming up SOON.

First off is a Japanese brand called Detclear, which is basically a brightener and peel toner that removes dead skin, black heads, and such.  There is a gel solution of it as well, but I ended up accidentally picking up the liquid solution.  Which honestly doesn't bother me one bit.  I love being able to see results of how smooth my skin feels after using it, and the gunk it picks up.  I will be picking up the gel solution after this bottle is finished.  It has a slight smell of fruitiness, but it isn't anything overwhelming.

I ended up picking up three Wet n Wild Megalast nail polishes from Walgreens.  B2G1F deal.  The colors from left to right:  Heatwave , Tropicalia, and Bite the Bullet.

So there you have it, my little splurge moment.  Like I said I am still trying not to spend so much.

What did you buy lately?  Are you on a no buy?

 

Check out Klout!

Klout has to be a social networking blogging best friend!  You should really check them out if you're a blogger!  You could receive chances to earn perks, which basically are free items to discounts etc.  From full size to samples.  It's just a wonderful program out there, and it doesn't hurt to try.
So here are the items I have received lately:

Lipton Tean & Honey iced tea packets:  I actually had received this two weeks ago.  Just been that busy.  I obtained 10 samples and inside the little packet there were coupons with it.  The flavor was Mango Pineapple.

Essie Mojito Madness:  I am a total nail polish freak.  So when I had obtained this perk I was super psyched.  And more excited that it was a full size bottle.  I'll discuss this polish later on. 

Trident & Trident Layers:  I received this on Saturday and was actually surprised.  I honestly thought I was going to just get a single pack.  I was telling hubs that the box felt heavy, and wasn't sure if I was getting something else from Klout.  Upon opening it I ended up discovering that it was actually a box of Trident in both the Klout boxes.  WHOA!  Hubs was seriously shocked and kept asking me if I paid for them haha.  "Nope!  Totally free!"  In each box there are 12 packs.  Awesome perk! 

So like I said, if you're into social networking, or you have a blog check out Klout and see what goodies you could pick up!

**I was given a free product or sample because I'm a Klout influencer. I was under no obligation to receive the sample or talk about this company. I get no additional benefits for talking about the product or company.

Do you have a Klout?  If you do let me know, because you never know I might drop by and toss you a K+ :)

Nails done? Mhmm! Finally!

So I finally had time to do some actual nail work on my nails, other than my typical nail gradient splatters (which I still freakin' love).
I kept it simple and just used four colors.

Nails done? OH YEAH! Check!

So here is a shot of my current nails, my typical gradient and splatter look.  If you would like to know how I did it, you could spot it on my tutorial page.
