I have been without a job for almost two months now, you don't know how happy i am! I have been getting pretty stressed out about not having a job, i feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.<br />
<br />
It's a temporary position with a huge home builder in the city, hopefully they fall in love with me and just decide to keep me =)<br />
<br />
I probably will be lacking in posts until i get settled but hopefully i can keep up with reading and staying current with everyone i follow!Kenziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04627443006120373526noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688012039671042582.post-75555482130185248132011-04-09T15:59:00.000-06:002011-04-09T15:59:33.210-06:00New items!Hi everyone,<br />

</div>I have always been so jealous of all the beautiful flake polish i have seen around the blogging community, though i can never find any for myself! A lot of the ones i love are all brands that we don't carry in Canada, which really sucks. I decided since i can't find a nice flake polish, i would have to make my own.<br />
I was wandering around Michaels a couple of months ago and came across a really weird looking glitter. It's made from cellophane and has a really great rainbow effect. Anyone remember that Rainbow Fish childrens book?? It reminds me a lot of the fish scales the main fish had!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy77YWiYAaUSO6zKGeqmi_MfK0HhzDaP2rjY2nDmm6lGjQRvFvfRSJGbrCuRzalNIehy56-etvBpuc68XgbZ2tLQZ0rtA2cmP6vj4sE150tbhcdtdSAcfXJm8GXetf9Xvgj1wkOv84AsTo/s1600/mani+shot.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy77YWiYAaUSO6zKGeqmi_MfK0HhzDaP2rjY2nDmm6lGjQRvFvfRSJGbrCuRzalNIehy56-etvBpuc68XgbZ2tLQZ0rtA2cmP6vj4sE150tbhcdtdSAcfXJm8GXetf9Xvgj1wkOv84AsTo/s400/mani+shot.png" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">All i did was add the glitter flakes to clear polish and apply it to my nails. I think the effect turned out really great, i added a top coat of seche vite hoping it would smooth it out a bit. It's still pretty rough feeling but i don't mind that at all. I used a pale grey polish by Love & Beauty for a base color for the glitter nails. All of the pastel colors are from Joe, which can be found at Superstore. The colors from left to right are Butter, Powder Blue, Kiss and Faded Violet.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">What do you think of the cellophane glitter effect?</div>Kenziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04627443006120373526noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688012039671042582.post-80074299257475733012011-04-05T12:28:00.002-06:002011-04-05T12:30:48.726-06:00Tokidoki Gelato Balm and E.L.F Hypershine GlossI was in the city on Saturday and although my conscious was screaming "NO!!!!!!!!!!!" i went into Sephora anyways. I did really well, restrained myself from spending (being jobless will do that to ya) and only walked out with one item, which well, i didn't even pay for because my boyfriend treated me =)<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilp1VR-DHylQ24aunQZHKAa8Vihb3jcrnLzzJZah8z47gsF6cwwWnwkGoA7_6l3u9z3tuwyjFaWXeCT7o5PfV_Zor3J7TKXqQqDmtr48L5VZU5lfQ3YcDxxwu09R6lP3p-2h-Ru7cbCbqz/s1600/tokidoki.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="331" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilp1VR-DHylQ24aunQZHKAa8Vihb3jcrnLzzJZah8z47gsF6cwwWnwkGoA7_6l3u9z3tuwyjFaWXeCT7o5PfV_Zor3J7TKXqQqDmtr48L5VZU5lfQ3YcDxxwu09R6lP3p-2h-Ru7cbCbqz/s400/tokidoki.png" width="400" /></a></div> I have been lusting after the Tokidoki Gelato Lip Balm Stains for awhile now. Seriously, how cute is the packaging? I picked Donutella, it's a sheer deep pink and smells absolutely delicious. The balm itself is so smooth and the color lasts for quite awhile. I am such a big fan of lip stains/tints, they add such great color for those like me who look silly wearing lipstick. I will for sure be going back to buy the other three shades.<br />

I was in Zellers not to long ago and came across an E.L.F section in the cosmetic department. I have never seen this brand in stores here, all the racks were empty except for a lip gloss set. For $2.50, i figured why the heck not. <br />
<br />
The set came with three colors, none of which had a name. All three have a very lovely smell and great shine. The formula is not sticky, which is a huge bonus. There is nothing worse than when a lipgloss is super sticky and your hair gets in it, then your hair is gooey. So annoying.<br />
<br />
All the colors look really great on, they added a really soft tint and went really great with my skin color.<br />
<br />
For those of you that have Facebook, i have decided to do a jewelry giveaway as soon as i reach 100 people! If you haven`t already, please go like my page and tell your friends!<br />

All of the products i have tried are such great quality. They also do not test on animals, which is another great reason to be in love with their products.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW51uZpe-iB22GpesbJBLkkdiNd8znj5ZTTW0mV1Huv29W_qHJ-SfO07BNcPx65jxfutaKYykeJnFtoyFyzKC4DqaTt_F1U5Zi83cWiBvyr5Knt2tx9jouGliiHS1KrsiaxBPRbRrJgZnY/s1600/blush.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="241" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW51uZpe-iB22GpesbJBLkkdiNd8znj5ZTTW0mV1Huv29W_qHJ-SfO07BNcPx65jxfutaKYykeJnFtoyFyzKC4DqaTt_F1U5Zi83cWiBvyr5Knt2tx9jouGliiHS1KrsiaxBPRbRrJgZnY/s400/blush.png" width="400" /></a></div>I have been using a Hard Candy Baked Blusher for quite awhile now and i really love it. The color i am showing is called Living Doll, the formula is very light and easy to apply. It's a light pink color with flecks of gold. It is quite sheer so you can use it as a highlighter but it's also very easy to build into a darker shade. This shade goes perfect with my pale skin, it adds a really nice healthy glow to my skin.<br />

I believe there are seven or more different colors, i picked up Algae. The colors are very vivid and the glitter really lasts all day. Removal is also a breeze, soap and water take the product right off. I have been searching for a great glitter shadow that doesn't crease and go yucky instantly and this is it! I am for sure going to pick up some more colors, these really are great.<br />

</tbody></table>It seems cliche to say that your sibling is your best friend, but it really is true in my case. If i could hangout with her everyday i would. She is out of town for school and has been for the past 3 years. At least it's only an hour and a half drive, so we get to see each other at least once a month. She is almost done this year which means she moves back home in April. I am overly excited!!!<br />
<br />
This girl has gone through so much but always has the biggest smile on her face no matter what. It's always so refreshing being around someone so positive. I have always looked up to her, even as an older sister. She is the type of person i strive to be everyday. I wish everyone could be as caring and beautiful inside and out, the world would be a better place, that's for sure!<br />

I had just relieved my order of fake nails in the mail that same day so we decided to try them out. I have never used/painted fake nails before so it was super weird at first. You have so much more control with your designs though, which is awesome. Painting with my left hand is quite a task and it usually looks like a toddler did the job.<br />

I was surprised at how well these fit onto her nails though. There is nothing worse than a little awkward gap. Gluing them on was pretty easy, minus the two times the nail flipped around and got stuck onto my finger. There was a lot of screaming involved ripping them off my skin. I didn't know nail glue dried that fast, i had only touched the wet glue for maybe a second!<br />
<br />
I have seen quite a few people selling decorated fake nails on Etsy. Are a lot of people interested in that sort of thing? Would you ever purchase and wear them?<br />
<br />
I have been collecting quite a few goodies this past week for a little April giveaway! I am really excited to do my first one, i love giveaways because everyone has a chance to win products that you may not be able to find in your own country. Plus i really love meeting new people =)Kenziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04627443006120373526noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688012039671042582.post-44224895890246860752011-03-24T21:19:00.000-06:002011-03-24T21:19:48.643-06:00A well needed LUSH evening.I always love <a href="http://xxcmgxx.blogspot.com/">Christina Marie's</a> posts about her LUSH experiences so i thought i would do one of my own!<br />
<br />
I have really sore muscles right now so i thought a bath would be a perfect way to relax and soothe my poor body. I have a box full of LUSH goodies so i closed my eyes and picked a random bath bomb to use.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB-1FIYBGPryKs5uybcrNFHVpMqNsixDoSNV-GQu5yYyhmjDMlfNWSYDS_D78Yd-tJLAxBlN4TlOFiQN5LgGABKWQiSDPUrGS_OOgc1daFIrZUH3US5UNdSvZWESgRrf6_rPjBGFJ0mPXw/s1600/lush+bomb.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB-1FIYBGPryKs5uybcrNFHVpMqNsixDoSNV-GQu5yYyhmjDMlfNWSYDS_D78Yd-tJLAxBlN4TlOFiQN5LgGABKWQiSDPUrGS_OOgc1daFIrZUH3US5UNdSvZWESgRrf6_rPjBGFJ0mPXw/s400/lush+bomb.png" width="400" /></a></div>I think the one i picked is called Think Pink. I could be wrong, i had to Google the name as i have no clue what it's called. Please correct me if i am wrong!<br />
The bomb itself smelled delicious. It had a candy and flowery smell, it reminded me of cotton candy and strawberries. I wish i could have captured the scent and shared it with everyone.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivaMcyHYNLu1IZcE4mw5MN6b2xzo3FyQM7gHHqFktOH13svHcNBad2QsVnxR33-GwxOn7seEyhanqtv1eMVrvHDVeLth5JwolXVkaUSNbDZ1OX45s_96gtE7i_rLENFUvL4T6GMLS7nPGe/s1600/bath.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="115" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivaMcyHYNLu1IZcE4mw5MN6b2xzo3FyQM7gHHqFktOH13svHcNBad2QsVnxR33-GwxOn7seEyhanqtv1eMVrvHDVeLth5JwolXVkaUSNbDZ1OX45s_96gtE7i_rLENFUvL4T6GMLS7nPGe/s400/bath.png" width="400" /></a></div>When i placed the bomb into the tub it instantly turned the water a lovely pink color. There were a lot of chunks floating around which at first i thought were undissolved bath bomb pieces but after a closer look i realized it was multi colored heart confetti! I thought that was a super cute touch, i love the little surprises LUSH has in their products.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpYruusZJV9oUQp_Jj-52qFX4WVhtojex7-OEwS2LSfQyiHR6_3RiTTlNmAvjmZNqmQuBs0M_N9NzwtARSqjftf9M9okuf_qFw3OWc_eZlIJVkKNnKUolJ9JSVBTkdO4CbQWYVkhMatpcB/s1600/bath+2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpYruusZJV9oUQp_Jj-52qFX4WVhtojex7-OEwS2LSfQyiHR6_3RiTTlNmAvjmZNqmQuBs0M_N9NzwtARSqjftf9M9okuf_qFw3OWc_eZlIJVkKNnKUolJ9JSVBTkdO4CbQWYVkhMatpcB/s400/bath+2.png" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">One of our cats Friday can't resist water so she was also apart of it all! </div>Overall this bath bomb was a really fun experience. I loved the little hearts, the color of the water and the initial smell. The only complaint i have is that as soon as all the pieces were dissolved, i did not smell anything afterwards. This is always a disappointment for me as I love products that have a strong smell that lingers and stays on your skin well after you are done. That did not happen here. My skin did feel pretty soft afterward though!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpg9z8rRvcHLMIy8Q0FWjc_CwPSJful5yXeP5Oa9sSDnz0fAGuTOly2q0pBJCvK_5167Sc1sJ3sKU7fGKRKFdCkjMKKVMMHcvhwlfLckvxE7O6XVBWGPJfSJ8c8_zCF9JhF4UKh6mGik_7/s1600/face.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="203" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpg9z8rRvcHLMIy8Q0FWjc_CwPSJful5yXeP5Oa9sSDnz0fAGuTOly2q0pBJCvK_5167Sc1sJ3sKU7fGKRKFdCkjMKKVMMHcvhwlfLckvxE7O6XVBWGPJfSJ8c8_zCF9JhF4UKh6mGik_7/s400/face.png" width="400" /></a></div>After the bath i decided to use another LUSH product i have not tried. They are called Token to the Forest God. They are little tablets that you put in hot water, drape a towel over your head and then let the steam surround your face. I am very exhausted so i thought this would be a perfect time to use it.<br />
LUSH claims this product is supposed to make your skin feel refreshed and hydrated.<br />
The product had a really unique smell, it reminded me of a forest and citrus. When i towel dried my face afterward, i touched my skin and it did feel hydrated. It also could have just been the steam but i think it did add a little extra.<br />
On the LUSH website they state that you can put the leftover water in a spray bottle and leave it in your fridge and use it as a spritz/toner for up to two days. I didn't have a bottle to try this which i really regret!Kenziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04627443006120373526noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688012039671042582.post-89058522037884375042011-03-22T23:06:00.001-06:002011-03-24T18:11:57.169-06:00Etsy store is up!<div style="text-align: center;">Hi Everyone,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I had an interview yesterday, now playing the waiting game. I hate that so much! I kept myself busy making earrings. Got about 30 pairs done! I also opened an Etsy shop finally, i will start listing items on it tomorrow. I had to figure out postage rates before i could do anything, what a damn pain that whole system is.Kenziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04627443006120373526noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688012039671042582.post-39892499540128589452011-03-14T22:29:00.002-06:002011-03-14T22:33:50.001-06:00Dollarstore eyeshadows are the best.<div style="text-align: center;">Not even kidding, i love them so much.

I am having a hard time narrowing down which ones to go ahead with, so i have been asking friends and strangers to tell me their favorite designs. All of the designs are so different from one another, so having multiple opinions from people with different tastes helps so much.<br />
<br />
If you are interested in helping me out, please send me an email and i will send you all the designs i have on the go right now. <b>kenzie.conrad@gmail.com </b><br />

I finally sat my butt down and did a quick mani last night before i headed out to a hockey game. I wanted something bright and colorful as i am very tired of winter.<br />
<br />

They applied a lot easier than i thought they would. Sometimes when i take a quick glance at my hand i think the watermelon is a lady bug and the rest of my fingers are leaves. Maybe that will be a mani in the future! <br />
I apologize for the state of my cuticles, i did not clean them before i took the picture. =(<br />

I have been looking for the Wet n Wild Coloricon palettes everyone has been loving but i haven't been able to find any for the life of me. That all changed as I found two last night that i've been wanting, I'm Getting Sunburned and Don't Steal My Thunder. I think i may have done a little victory dance when i saw them, i hope no one was watching!<br />
<br />
The colors are so shimmery and they are also very pigmented. You can enlarge the photo for better detail. Wet n Wild always surprises me with the amazing quality of their products, especially for how cheap they are. <br />

This is the first time i have seen the Salon Effects in a store in Canada so i was extremely excited when i saw the display case. I sure hope these work better than the ones i bought on eBay.<br />
<br />
The Wet n Wild polish has five colors of glitter in different sizes. If you look at the full size image you will be able to see it closer. I can't wait to use it!Kenziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04627443006120373526noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688012039671042582.post-55085537032267198572011-03-02T13:33:00.000-07:002011-03-02T13:33:49.753-07:00What goes up, must come down.Hey everyone,<br />
<br />
Sorry I have not posted in awhile, life has been pretty hectic and I have had no time to sit down. My poor mum fell off her horse on the weekend and broke her shoulder, so between that and returning from my trip to BC i have had no time to do anything.<br />
<br />
I know i promised that water marble tutorial and i swear i will have it up as soon as i can!<br />
<br />
Hope you're all doing well.Kenziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04627443006120373526noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688012039671042582.post-91524028444653281982011-02-17T15:41:00.002-07:002011-02-17T15:48:23.554-07:00I'm baaaaaaaaaack.Hi everyone, sorry it's been so long since my last post. I had a temporary job for a couple of weeks and i was super busy. Anytime i had a chance to sit down after work i would usually just fall asleep on the couch!<br />
<br />

I had a bunch of points saved up so i thought i would go and see if there was anything i liked. I ended up using 60 of my points so all of this stuff cost me only $22.<br />
<br />
I love Glysomed hand cream and i was running out so i went to grab another bottle and noticed that there was also a Life brand version. It was half the price so i grabbed one assuming it will do just as great of a job.<br />
<br />
I have never used an eyelash curler before so i thought i would give it a try. I have pretty long natural lashes so i never thought i would need one but i thought i may as well give one a go since a lot of girls are in love with them.<br />
I needed a new mascara and i used to be in love with the Covergirl LashBlast mascara so i thought i would give another one a try. I have been using Gosh wonder volume for almost two years now and i love that mascara so much but i am a sucker for trying new things to see if i can out do my favorite products. So far that Gosh mascara has beaten anything i have ever tried in the past so we will see how this new mascara stands up to it. <br />
<br />

I love this brand a lot, i use a ton of their products. The camera i am using does not like taking macro shots for some reason so i had a super hard time trying to take swatch photos. You will just have to take my word for it, all of these colors are super lovely!<br />
Clockwise from the top - Spa, Paradise, Greeny. <br />
Greeny looks black but its a very deep green with a little bit of gold.<br />
<br />

It's called Happy Booster by Physicians Formula. I use a lot of their products as well as i have very sensitive skin. The blush is a lot brighter than the normal shades i wear but i still really like it. It is very shimmery and comes with a cute little brush but i find it applies the blush super weird and uneven so i will be sticking to using my normal brush when using this.<br />
ALSO, there is a $6 mail in rebate with this product! <br />

I have never seen a lip gloss in the shape of a lipstick, super cute. I cannot wear full cover lipsticks as i think i end up looking absolutely ridiculous. I have super thin, almost non existent lips so i look like a clown. I do love tinted glosses though so i threw this in my basket as soon as i saw it.<br />
Once again i wasn't able to take a swatch picture but it applies as a light pink glossy finish.<br />

Nail art in the form of a sticker you just stick on your nail? Sounds too perfect! I searched for them all over the city but i don't think we carry them in Alberta yet, atleast not at any of the places i looked. I looked on eBay to see if i could find them but they were around $25+ each to ship to Canada! I ended up finding a different brand called Crazy Strips and ordered a houndstooth design to try.<br />
I sure hope the Sally Hansen brand is 100% better than this piece of garbage. I would never recommend this brand to anyone, i think they are complete utter pieces of junk. Every sticker would crease when i applied them, leaving the design bumpy and ugly. If you enlarge the picture you should be able to see some creases, the picture made it look way better than it does in person. Also, unless you have perfect rounded nail beds these will not fit your nails either. You can see this problem in the picture of my thumb. There is huge gaps on both sides, which i then filled in with silver polish to help blend it. I put 3 coats of Seche Vite on each nail but it didn't help, as i am typing this right now i can see flaps of the stickers hanging off my nails. Gonna be taking these babies off and setting them on fire as soon as i am finished here. I am really disappointed (mostly the fact i spent $13 on these, ugh) as i think the design looks really awesome, hopefully another brand will work out a lot better than these did.<br />
<br />
I am off to Vernon B.C until the 22nd so there will be no more posts until after that! I am going to be doing a water marbling tutorial next week as i got a lot of positive feedback on my previous post. I read that a lot of you had trouble with it and thought it was very messy so i would like to share my tips with all of you so you can all enjoy it as much as i do!<br />
<br />

Here is the outcome!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlq1lnzKHz4T4SFEkqKTwQv9S_zaPfr6KxdR0VEzmBwD7bEfJxtnITKq4oQFb4NOYY0FFg-mOFEzZ-uhwbAwKYlC42TE5qBIeF-KIYPGptXCz7M90zD7khc3ksMngO1NbOjKrqAIdaOj3I/s1600/joyce2.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="259" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlq1lnzKHz4T4SFEkqKTwQv9S_zaPfr6KxdR0VEzmBwD7bEfJxtnITKq4oQFb4NOYY0FFg-mOFEzZ-uhwbAwKYlC42TE5qBIeF-KIYPGptXCz7M90zD7khc3ksMngO1NbOjKrqAIdaOj3I/s320/joyce2.png" width="320" /></a></div> My mum really wanted water marbling done and the outcome turned out pretty swell. Every time she pulled her fingers out of the water there were always a lot of OHHHH's and AWWWWWW's. I like water marbling because it's a surprise everytime!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9sx8-NoTLi6B8IzwW_fozr0LdTsEheswiGUON8LzhPiFbUf-nYgYxXbMwmx0jEspYYwtctuZhS4u8SswX1oHhGDSVJm_rHqaknB28A3peuPucIVxEneNUVFMtuqzYwCA0NVlqKCwU22wx/s1600/alyssa.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9sx8-NoTLi6B8IzwW_fozr0LdTsEheswiGUON8LzhPiFbUf-nYgYxXbMwmx0jEspYYwtctuZhS4u8SswX1oHhGDSVJm_rHqaknB28A3peuPucIVxEneNUVFMtuqzYwCA0NVlqKCwU22wx/s320/alyssa.png" width="320" /></a></div>My sister wanted pink and glitter. I did a slight pink gradient and added a bunch of loose round glitter to the tips. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I am keeping this post short as i have to run and meet my sister to pick up her new car. She was in a horrible accident a few weeks ago where she flipped and totaled her car. I still can't believe she walked away with only a bump on her head and a few bruises. <br />

I have frizzy curly hair that i have spent years trying to manage. I could not get my curls to look nice for the life of me, so i always relied on my straightener. This did not help my frizz problem at all, as all heat styling tools damage your hair over time. I dye my hair a lot too, which does not help at all. I have tried countless amounts of curl enhancing products but the majority of them just left my hair feeling greasy and heavy. I am very low maintenance with my hair and it has always been my dream that i could one day shower and leave my house with my hair wet, knowing that i won't end up looking like a poodle that licked an electrical socket by the time my hair dries.<br />
Anyone with annoying curly hair knows how frustrating your hair can be but i have finally found a solution that has tamed the wild beast!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis4RVGOlkG9wVH9JjZ-E9XhS1s6x8Evt0BI4AR614wm4C8NepfoxrBqtZcHD0YV6f1Cc8-sG18HghqDs0CiilnozWVzfgDbmR0PICrVmvaq65KTeBUcc5BL4bzg5kq-IMKo3-lUweydA7B/s1600/shampoo.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="279" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis4RVGOlkG9wVH9JjZ-E9XhS1s6x8Evt0BI4AR614wm4C8NepfoxrBqtZcHD0YV6f1Cc8-sG18HghqDs0CiilnozWVzfgDbmR0PICrVmvaq65KTeBUcc5BL4bzg5kq-IMKo3-lUweydA7B/s320/shampoo.png" width="320" /></a></div>I am always on the hunt for a good shampoo that helps keep your hair color vibrant and shiny. Again, most of the products i have used were really heavy on my hair. When my hair was dry it felt like someone dumped a bucket of Brylcreem on my head, which is cool if i was Ponyboy.<br />
I was interested in trying out some of Lush's hair care products as i love everything else they offer. I asked a sales clerk to recommend which shampoo and conditioner would work best with my colored hair and she recommended <a href="http://www.lush.ca/shop/products/hair/bottled-shampoos/daddyo">Daddy-o</a> and Coolaulin. Daddy-o is a violet based shampoo which is good for keeping blonde hair from getting that brassy look but she said it would work well on all colors. This shampoo is SUPER light on my hair, you only have to use a little amount and it smells so good. It<i></i> also makes my hair super shiny even when my hair color starts to fade over time. Coolaulin is a very light conditioner, i am not in love with the smell but it works pretty well. To me it smells like a Pina Colada that's had dirt mixed into it, yummy. My hair is always super soft after wards though. I would like to try another one of their conditioners to compare results.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrmWb3BsHZLjzzDz0jDYHWFs_fQmIOHI0boXd7B8YO4TflO34IpMKOBWd5rSPPHIxzDXuHxglrUXhWgouyFVjmS1VnH8GXVwTUeskcZflcG2EDzArdVF9JJWj0tZalP1x3pWBeOyH5q2QL/s1600/redken.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrmWb3BsHZLjzzDz0jDYHWFs_fQmIOHI0boXd7B8YO4TflO34IpMKOBWd5rSPPHIxzDXuHxglrUXhWgouyFVjmS1VnH8GXVwTUeskcZflcG2EDzArdVF9JJWj0tZalP1x3pWBeOyH5q2QL/s320/redken.png" width="224" /></a></div><br />
These next two products have saved my uncontrollable hair. After i towel dry my hair i apply both of these products and they have done wonders for me. I was recommended to use Redken Ringlet 07 by my sisters friend who works at <a href="http://www.chatters.ca/index.html">Chatters</a>. It is a curl enhancer that actually works. I still can't believe i found a product that does what it says. I only use about half a pump, let my hair air dry and i get perfect soft curls. No frizz, no afro, just curls. I love it. On top of that i add a tiny amount of Biosilk Silk Therapy, it adds a ton of shine to my hair and also makes my hair super soft.<br />
<br />
<br />
And that's it! I finally have hair i can leave naturally curly without looking like i belong in an 80's rock band.<br />
<br />

Pretty stoked that i actually got them straight on both of my hands first try! I have really shaky hands so i am pretty amazed with myself.<br />
My ring finger is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in "Rockstar Pink" and all of my other fingers are Nicole by OPI "Yellow, It's Me". I added a top coat of some glitter and a layer of Seche Vite and voila! I picked up these colors the other day and thought they really suited each other. <br />
<br />
I had a pretty productive day today, ended up cleaning my whole house and purged my closet. My sister will be super happy about that. I was planning on hitting the treadmill today but yesterday i injured myself being an idiot. I thought it would be a good idea giving my boyfriends chin up bar a go. Pretty sure i pulled every single muscle in my armpits haha. I have been walking around like Mary Katherine Gallagher with my hands in my armpits.<br />
<br />
I just purchased a lot of plain fake nails from eBay. I am going to give fake nail painting/decorating a go. I see so many lovely designs out there but i know there is NO way in hell that i would be able to replicate a design using my left hand on my real nails. I have never used fake nails before so hopefully they are decent!Kenziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04627443006120373526noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688012039671042582.post-62402430792153298702011-02-01T14:32:00.000-07:002011-02-01T14:33:58.782-07:00Aspirin & honey mask.I came across this homemade mask on a few blogs and since I am always on a constant search for facial products i thought what's the harm in giving it a try. People were raving about how soft it makes your skin and that all your blemishes and zits will vanish. They say you will start to see results within two weeks. Sounds too good to be true, huh? <br />
Aspirin is made from salicylic acid also known as Beta Hydroxy Acid. This ingredient is found in a lot of the acne products you can buy at the store. BHA is also an anti-inflammatory which i think is the main reason it works so well at calming and repairing your skin. If you are allergic to Aspirin i think its pretty obvious this mask will probably make you spontaneously combust so trying it would not be a good idea.<br />

I use LUSH Aquamarina (can be seen in the middle of the above picture) as my cleanser. It is SO gentle on my sensitive skin. It's made with aloe vera, seaweed and calamine powder. I could go on forever about this product, well all of their products, but i will leave that for another time.<br />
After your face is clean you can begin making the mask.<br />

I used a small dinner plate. I then put my hand under the tap and dribble a few drops of water on top of the pills. I try not to add too much or else is just turns to soup. This will make the tablets dis solve.<br />
*I unfortunately could not find uncoated Aspirin for the life of me so the tablets in this picture are coated. After i let them sit in the water for awhile i took a spoon and crushed them. It can be a bit tricky as the pills are very slippery and they will shoot out from under the spoon like a bullet. I end up spending a lot of time in a race with my cats trying to get to the tablet before they do. Uncoated tablets would be WAY easier.*<br />
<br />
<u><b>Step 2:</b></u> Add as much honey to the crushed tablets as you wish. I add around a tablespoon. If you end up adding too much honey just add tiny amounts of water until you get the consistency you want. The honey makes the aspirin stick to your face as well as the enzymes in Honey are proven to help rejuvenate your skin. Which i know is 100% fact as a lot of lotions/shower gels i use have honey in them and they make your skin incredibly soft.<br />

I massage the mask into my skin as i apply it to exfoliate my skin. The crushed up tablets work great for that. Avoid your eyes just like you would with any regular mask. After the application i leave it on for 15 minutes. My skin is very sensitive so my face does get a minor warm burning sensation. It does not hurt to the point i scream bloody murder but my skin does get very warm. I was alarmed at first thinking my skin was just having a bad reaction and i would wash it off having a scab for a face. Not the case at all.<br />
<br />
When your 15 minutes is up, wash the gooey mess off. While rinsing i rub my face in a circular motion to give one last good scrub. When rinsed you will notice your skin has a nice tingly feeling and your skin is instantly softer and smoother. You can now apply your toner and moisturizer. I use Garnier vitamin enriched toner. I have used this toner for a long time and i have always loved the fresh feeling it gives my skin. I also really love the smell. For a moisturizer i use Garnier moisture rescue. This is a newer product for me but it's very light. My skin reacts badly to most moisturizers and i usually break out really badly from them. I have never had that problem with this moisturizer and it has SPF 15 which is a bonus. Because this mask has BHA in it, your skin is more susceptible to the sensitivity of the sun so try and use something with SPF in it.<br />
<br />
Now you're all done! I use this mask twice a week, i have heard if you use it anymore than that you're skin will become immune to it and it will stop working.<br />
<br />
I have very dry sensitive skin with problem areas on my forehead and chin. My nose and forehead get very dry but they are also the spots where i break out the most. I have found all the acne products i have used in the past really dry out my skin and make my breakouts and redness worse. Since i have started using this mask, the redness of my skin has almost completely vanished. I have been using it for two weeks now and i am happy to say i don't have a single zit on my face. My skin is a lot brighter as well and i always have such a nice glow to my skin. I am so thankful i found out about this mask as it will save me so much money and i can now rest knowing i have found the cure to my annoying skin!<br />
<br />
For those who give this a shot, i hope it works as great for you as it did for me. =)Kenziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04627443006120373526noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7688012039671042582.post-45699414164273875102011-02-01T00:01:00.000-07:002011-02-01T09:41:59.274-07:00My poor bank account.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKo_ji5PXJD5vZlE72sU1uzVAd2UJ40R88fL34L4IREBAZKv1xt0DMfkS62TgviqYLCLTw2_cgnOVKhTpRI0H5GI9zPQf4OrHKDb1wbdn8n3KaNalW6spTyUHd-DIqgc-hIrk_Fq7MnslK/s1600/IMG_3737.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br />
</a></div><div style="text-align: right;"></div>A glimpse at a few things i picked up today at Shoppers Drug Mart. All the polish i picked up today was on clearance! I am a super cheap shopper so if i see a bargain bin you better move out of my way because i will plow you over.<br />

The Nicole polish is a matte which i am really excited to try as i have never used a matte polish before. All the Sally Hansen polishes have crazy amounts of multi color glitter in them, if you enlarge the picture you will be able to see it better.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7Av-1PnxR-6i_HQGg_btiCKtPVgEd-5Z2gNA4HGDtpbiSgwolbMlybChvhHhbLEm6-1HiAf88eTawH_b2IwB0h_0OWbqKzEhuDZke1fL1A_3uNm17EvfYXVV3hw6TwOmHKHdmdv5o-ZDc/s1600/IMG_3737.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7Av-1PnxR-6i_HQGg_btiCKtPVgEd-5Z2gNA4HGDtpbiSgwolbMlybChvhHhbLEm6-1HiAf88eTawH_b2IwB0h_0OWbqKzEhuDZke1fL1A_3uNm17EvfYXVV3hw6TwOmHKHdmdv5o-ZDc/s320/IMG_3737.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>I also picked up a few other random items. There are a ton of products out there for hardening & strengthening your nails so i thought i would give one a try. I picked a brand called Witchcraft which i have never heard of before. It is a protein hardener that you can wear under your nail color or on your bare nails. The box says this formula will help stop nails from splitting and flaking. The tips of my nails tend to flake a bit after wearing polish for long amounts of time so it will be interesting to see if this formula helps.<br />
<br />
Next in line is Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri drops. I have seen people using speed dry drops on their nails and was interested in using them as i always have a tendency to smear and ruin my polish when i think its dry and it really isn't.<br />
<br />
I have been looking for a good hand repair product and i came across Sally Hansen's Manicure In A Minute. I am extremely low maintenance so if a product claims to work in minutes i am all for it. The formula contains vitamins A, E, C, grape seed oil & chamomile. The consistency is very gritty like the feeling of rubbing sand on your hands and it smells like oranges. It actually reminds me a lot of the hand scrub you would find in a mechanics shop, if you have ever used that stuff. It smells exactly the same. I used this product tonight and it did make my hands feel extremely soft. You can definitely tell there are a lot of oils in the formula because your hands become super shiny.<br />
<br />
Last is a gloss stick by Quo in the shade Blaze. It's a shiny/shimmery coral color, sorry i didn't think to take a swatch of it. This lip gloss smells SO good and it goes on really well. I have never used a lipgloss in stick form before and I would definitely buy one of these again. <br />
<br />
Tomorrow i am going to post how to make and apply a honey & aspirin mask. I came across this nifty little trick a few weeks ago and it really is amazing for your skin. I was skeptical when i first read about it because it sounds super weird, but it has cleared up so many red spots i had on my face and gives me this really great glow to my skin!<br />

I didn't realize it was going to be such a messy pain in the butt! Everyone makes it look so damn easy. I was getting pretty frustrated, then again i was trying it at 10pm, and decided instead of doing all of my nails i was only going to do a couple accent fingers. Before i received my kit I searched google on what brands of polishes work with Konad, as i did not buy any of the special polish. The list i used can be seen <a href="http://sassestampingstampede.wordpress.com/polish/">HERE.</a> </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A lot of the Sally Hansen Xtreme wear colors were listed so i tried a few of those first. I tried Black Out and found that it was too sheer for me. I happened to have another black, it was an Art Deco nail art bottle. I figured why not give that a shot and it actually worked a lot better. The Art Deco polish was a lot thicker than the Black Out. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

I chose the middle image as well as the heart shaped pattern on top. For my base coat i used two coats of Xtreme Wear in Twisted Pink. I then applied the Art Deco black to the heart shaped print and applied it to the tips of my index and thumb on both hands. It was really hard trying to figure out the best way to line up the stamp to my nail but after a few tries i started to get it straighter and straighter. I have a feeling this stamping shiznit is going to just take a lot of practice but eventually i know i will make it my bitc....female dog.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I then used Xtreme Wear White On to apply the bow. I placed it on my nail so that it was overlapping the heart pattern just a tiny bit. The white polish i used was a little sheer as well but i had no other whites to try. You can see a bit of the black hearts underneath the bows but nothing too crazy. Ontop i added a layer of Wet n Wild Kaleidoscope and then added a top coat of Seche Vite (I LOVE THAT CRAP!).</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Once again this photo was taken on my phone.... I do have a nice camera i swear! It seems every time i do anything with my nails i am either running out the door after wards or going to bed. I guess i really don't have an excuse to go to bed early anymore, as i am jobless. Maybe i will end up being the next Nick Twisp and have a rebellious alter ego, hopefully without the gross mustache.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
