Essie's Fall Collection Skirting The Issue!

Tweet

Yay! I received another nail polish from Essie through Klout. I received Skirting The Issue Color from their Fall Collection. I love love the color! This is one of my favorite colors, so I was extremely happy when I opened the box. The color is a burgundy wine. Very Fall/Fierce/Halloweeny, just how I like it!

I took these pictures in front of my window because I wanted to use the outside light. The color looks more reddish as you can see, but if you look at my pinky finger on the left picture, you can see it looks a lot darker. I have three coats on, plus a top coat of Seche Vite. You can use two coats if you like because it has good pigmentation. I had to wash my hair the next day, so both of my index fingernails were chipped on the corners right after. I was not happy about that.

Maybe three coats were too much, plus the Seche Vite is a bit thick. That might have been one of the reason that it chipped. I'm going to try another top coat soon to see if that makes a difference. I have been looking at reviews on YouTube, but I haven't decided yet. I'll post about it when I do.

Anyway, I'm in love with this color. I'm going to do my nails again and this time I'm doing my toe nails as well!

Klout Perks - Essie's Luxeffects Stroke Of Brilliance!

Tweet

I am a proud owner of my first Essie's nail polish thanks to Klout! Yesterday I received the Essie's Luxeffects Stroke of Brilliance nail polish in the mail. I was so excited I had to do my nails to see how it looked. Even though I had done my nails two days before, lol. I love it! I love the color, the size of the glitter and it dries really fast with a good shine. Which is always good in case you don't have a top coat available or you are in a hurry. I took these pictures with my cell phone so they might not be the best.

I tested it with three different colors (should have taken pictures) to see how it looked but I wanted the glitter to show well so I chose a light color. The color is Easy Going from Sinful Colors (don't pay attention to the polish around the cuticle!) followed by a coat of Seche Vite. It's a very light pink. I was never one to wear light colors on my nails because I'm trigueña, but decided to give it a try. Now I like them!

I am definitely a FAN of Essie's Luxeffects nail polishes. I'm still a glitter girl/woman even though I'm no longer in my 20's, lol.

Freebies!

Tweet

I got a freebie in the mail from Latina magazine. It brighten up my day, lol. I mean who doesn't love to get freebies in the mail? It's a string sling backpack. Perfect for when you don't want to carry a purse around. My daughter is going to make good use of it that's for sure. Thanks to Latina magazine! 

I also received some coupons for Land o Lakes eggs from Vocalpoint. Problem is that unless I go to Target to buy the eggs I won't be able to use the coupons. The supermarket I go to doesn't take coupons. I have to go today to do grocery shopping so I'm going to ask again. The last time they looked at me like I was from another fucking planet. Pissed me off. You would think I was at a posh supermarket! I guess some places don't want to deal with the extra hassle of having to do coupons unless is from their own store. It sucks because these days I need to save on everything I can.

Talking about savings. I cut off my phone with Cablevision over a year ago. The triple play promotion I had expired so I was being charged full price for the phone and internet. I decided I wasn't going to throw my money out the window like that. Yo no soy rica!/I am not rich! I now use MagicJack, but to my surprise the company just raised their prices. From $19.95 to $29.99 for the regular MagicJack. Guess it was a matter of time. I forgot I needed to renew mine, found out when I went to make a call and got the message. That's how little I use the phone. I tried renewing my plan but their site wouldn't take my card. They put a trouble ticket but never got back to me. Right now I can only receive phone calls so of course I have been in need of using the phone a lot lately. Hay que joderse! Have to contact them to see if they will still give me the old price since it wasn't my fault that their site wouldn't take my card. Wish me luck!

Freebies In The Mail!

Tweet

I love freebies! I mean who doesn't? This past week I received a freebie from Target. I had forgotten about it so it was a nice surprise to open the mailbox and find something else other than a bill, lol. As you can see from the photos below it was not a small freebie. It even had a cosmetic bag which I ended up giving to my daughter. Everything came inside the cosmetic bag. The Pond's towelettes turned out to be very good so we are getting those. 

That's one of the benefits of getting freebies, you get to try products before buying a regular size. The shampoo and conditioner samples I usually give them to my daughter or son because they have short hair but I got a haircut yesterday and it is short as you can see by the picture below. I haven't had my hair that short in years but I guess it is true what they say, as you get older you don't want to deal with long hair that much. Now I don't have to cut it in at least 4 months or son. Anyway, now that I have short hair I can take advantage of the freebie shampoos and conditioners!

While we are talking about freebies, my daughter just went to Dunkin Donuts and they gave her a free trick or treating bag. You can see it in the photo below, cute right? Nice thing is it can be used when doing grocery shopping, etc. I love freebies!♥
