From The Vault - Glitter and Gradients

Hello, Fireflies!

Happy Saturday!  I've dug into the vault to bring you some glitter and some glittery gradients that I created way back when, but haven't been seen - until now!

Hyko, hyko un-de! #HYKOBauanaNaturals

Press Sample.  All opinions are my own.

Hello, Fireflies!

In this serum from Bauana Naturals, Hyaluronic and Kojic Acid gets shortened to Hyko!(TM) and it makes me think of that great Mardi Gras song, Iko Iko.

Was my skin as lifted as my spirits after listening to this catchy song? Maybe!

Prom Nails with the Beauty Blog Coalition! #BBCChallenge

Hello, Fireflies!

It may have been awhile since I saw my senior prom.  I may have worn a very fashionable side ponytail with giant claw bangs and frosted champagne nails.  But I owned it, baby.  And, whatever you wear to your prom, you should, too.  But if you're still looking for ideas, I've teamed up with a bunch of creative ladies from the Beauty Blog Coalition to bring you some ideas.  I put together 5 different nail art looks, from subtle to smashing, all with a touch of glitter for that special day.

Chocolate Holo Swirls

Hello, Fireflies!

It's nearly the end of the month, and I've just time to squeak in the last nail art for this month's NCC challenge of Candy and Sweets.  My favorite treat is probably chocolate, and I tried a new kind this month that I thought was lovely enough to eat - and paint!

Melt My Makeup! Battle of the Balms

Hello, Fireflies!

Taking off makeup is the worst part about wearing makeup, isn't it? I've used wipes, water-only eraser towels, cleansing oils, micellar water, oily removers... you name it.  So, when these new melting balms came on the market, I picked up the ELF one, and then picked up the IT Cosmetics one, so I decided to do a side-by-side removal to see which worked better for me!

Reviva Revisited - New and Improved Night Cream! #RevivaLabs

Press Sample.  All opinions are my own.

Hello, Fireflies!

A little over two years ago, I got a chance to try Reviva's earlier incarnation of this cream-with-the-long-name.  Now, it's back, and better!

Purple, Sparkly and Swirled

Hello, Fireflies!

Still no official theme for today's Sunday Stamping challenge.  So, I'm doing my own thing.
