September Favorites

Hello Dolls!

I would like to apologize for not posting a lot this month, school has taken over my life. Being said, I do have my monthly favorites that have been my savior during this crazy month! Without these products, I honestly don't think I would have been able to survive this month.

1. Botanics Rosewater Spritz Spray

I am in L O V E with this spray!! I use it every day for my "2 pm pick-me-up" and I don't know what I would do without it. You can find it at Target and this company has a makeup and skin care line that I reviewed, which I will link here.

2. Jamberry nail wrap

I did a review last month about this product, and honestly, it has become a September favorite. To see more about this product, you can click here. I really love this nail wrap because it is really perfect for the busy girl on the go! It takes no longer than 10 minutes to do your nails without needing to dry them!! What more can we ask for?

3. Up & Up Oil Absorbing Sheets

Let me just say that these have been my lifesaver this month! I use them right before I spray my face with the refreshing rosewater spritz, and it leaves me feeling fresh for the rest of my day.

4.  Lilly Pulitzer Agenda

Is anyone really surprised that I added this to my favorites? Yes, this has been a monthly favorite of mine, but honestly it has been my savior this month, because I would have been lost without it. If you need any help on organizing your agenda, you can click here. 

5. Lifeproof Phonecase

I am not one who likes to spend a lot of money on their phone cases, however, I couldn't afford to keep replacing the screen on my cracked iPhone anymore. So I went to Target and bought the Lifeproof case and I love it! I even personalized mine and got it monogrammed to make it more fun! This case protects your phone from water, dust, cracks, and it just absolutely amazing! Worth the $80!!

I hope yall enjoyed seeing my favorites for the month! I will try to post more often, I apologize for not doing so, school has been hectic!

XOXO,

Product Review // Mani Monday feat. Jamberry

Hello Dolls!

If it's one thing we all love it's a good manicure that LASTS! A couple weeks ago I was approached by a rep from Jamberry to do a review on their nail products, and I thought "why not? maybe my readers and I will enjoy it!", and I have to say I did.

Jamberry is a company that specialized in nail products and care. The product I was asked to review were their nail wraps, which are similar to the Sally Hansen gel nail wraps. I know that y'all love coupon codes (as do I), so I asked if I can have a code for y'all and I was denied the option because the company doesn't provide them; but I will say it is worth the cost for sure!

Here is how the product works: 

• Pick a design
• Prep your nails
• You can put the wrap on your bare nail or over a polish color
• Use a blow dryer to make the wrap hot
• Apply wrap to nail
• Apply more heat from blow dryer to secure wrap onto nail
• File away the excess wrap on your finger
  
  And then you should be good to go for SEVEN days!

So here is the package that my sample pack came in. I got a catalog, two sheets of samples, an amazing nail file (like seriously I was so impressed with it), a cuticle pusher, and one of those spongy toe dividers. 

So here is the nail design I chose, it is a cute pattern that is white and clear (and is meant for another color to go underneath). 

I chose to paint my nails in the color "Bikini So Teeny" by Essie

Then I applied the wrap onto my ring finger

Here is the nail wrap seven days later!
On the top is my left hand, the wrap was perfectly in tact for all seven days!

On the bottom is my right hand, you can see the wrap did peel off a little bit, but in the products defense, I was having problems with application on my behalf (my finger was hurting from the heat application).

Overall, I would recommend this product to everyone! Honestly, this stuff lasts and looks good as new for the entire week! (Which is so important for me because I'm constantly doing stuff that would ruin my nails like cooking or cleaning dishes). My only "problem" with the Jamberry nail wrap would be application because using a blow dryer on my nails kinda hurt (because I'm very sensitive towards heat in general).

I hope you guys enjoyed my very first product review!! I really did enjoy this product and really hope y'all do too!

XOXO,
