Nars Andy Warhol Collection

I just heard that Nars will be releasing an Andy Warhol Collection this October. Details won't be out until next week but I am so excited to see all the products when they arrive! I have read that some items will be sold exclusively in Sephora stores, while others will be also in department stores. Can't wait!

Shade of the Week: Splash of Grenadine

Essie - Splash of Grenadine

Wet n Wild Megalast

Of all the inexpensive, drugstore brand nail polishes, Wet n Wild's Megalast has quickly become my favorite. For $1.99 per bottle, the polishes really superceded my expectations. I love that I am able to swipe on two coats of this polish, without being too thick or too thin, and the polish dries within minutes. I don't have to watch what I do with my hands for a few hours, as with so many other nail polish brands. I also really like the thickness of the brush because I am able to cover more of my nail with less strokes. My two favorite shades of the moment are Wet Cement and I Need a Refresh-Mint (pictured second and third above). Wet Cement is a perfect taupe, in my opinion. I Need a Refresh-Mint was a good change for me. When I saw it at Walgreens it reminded me of a Tiffany's blue. I had several mint shades already, but this shade seemed more Tiffany's-ish because it is more on the blue side than on the mint green side. All in all, I would definitely recommend this brand if you are a fan of quick-drying polish.

To sum it up here are my likes about Megalast:

* Thick brush for faster, more efficient painting

* Large selection of matte shades

* Polish dries within minutes

* Polish lasts for days without chipping, sometimes weeks (especially on toes)

* Only $1.99 per bottle, sometimes cheaper when on sale

Yogurtland and Hello Kitty Reunite

Hello Kitty is back at Yogurtland for the second time! I had to go this week for the arrival, just to get my HK spoon and cup. The HK Yogurtland collaboration is so cute, I wanted everything in the store. They are selling adorable keychains, plush HK, buttons, tote bags, and a couple other cute accessories. There is different artwork on the cups for the characters, each featuring a different city. The schedule for the arrival of characters is as follows:

* July 10th: Hello Kitty - Hollywood

* July 24th: TuxedoSam - Miami

*August 7th: Badtz-Maru - San Francisco 

* August 21st: Little Twin Stars - Honolulu

I already love Yogurtland any time, rain or shine, so this is just a bonus for visiting this summer. I am hoping to buy the t-shirt, and maybe some keychains.

4th of July Style

It's that time of year again to celebrate our nation's independence day! I always look forward to celebrating 4th of July with close friends and family, sometimes at the beach, sometimes at a BBQ, sometimes at a park (this year I'll be at a bbq). I love going all out for any holiday just because it is an occasion to dress up or do something different with your hair, nails, clothes, home, etc... Which brought me to this post... I am dedicating this one to Fourth of July styles, since there are so many cute options out there!

I love a cute pair of classic Vans.

DIY: Magazine Holder

I wanted to share some pictures of a DIY project I worked on last week. I decided to try to make myself a magazine holder to stash all my Vogue issues, which were previously lying around everywhere in my room. I came across a quick and simple tutorial on pinterest and seeing that it only required a cereal box, scrapbook paper, scissors and glue, I decided to give it a try. 

It was fairly simple to make and didn't take long at all. Because I am out of Mod Podge at the moment, I used Elmer's Spray Adhesive. I would definitely recommend the tutorial if you are looking to make yourself a magazine holder, which could hold papers or mail too, if you don't want to use it for magazines. I plan on making a second one for the rest of my magazines. To see the detailed instructions on how to make your own magazine holder, click here.
