*Press sample sent for review

Today I have a very special post! Ellagee's Winter Magic collection. This beautiful 6 bottle collection of gorgeous glitter topper polishes are simply magical. These are some of the most sparkly-est polishes I have had my fingers on in a long time........ and then let's talk about the packaging! OMGoodness... each bottle has a tiny sparkly crystal ring. I gives it the cutest dazzle. This brand has quickly jumped to the top of my favorite indie brands!! I absolutely adore Christmas time, and these sure are a special little gift!  
They all applied beautifully, and I love the idea of having a separate baggie of glitter to add to your manicure just where you intend them to be. Pre-Order will start on November 1st!! To Pre-Order yours click here

It Cosmetics Sweet Rose

*Press sample sent for review

Happy Sunday guys!! I have a wonderful lip product for you today from It Cosmetics. Their Vitality Lip Blush Hydrating Lip Gloss Stain in Sweet Rose! This is THE perfect color I think for any skin tone. My goodness, this lippie is AMAZING!! The color is a gorgeous mauve rose with golden shimmer throughout. I am seriously head over heels about this gloss. It is perfect. There are 4 colors in all in this specific line and I NEED them all! lol :) This gloss is super hydrating and feels great on the lips. It has a very nice slip to it. Not too slippery that is slides off your lips but enough to make you feel like your lips are being hugged all day. It is not sticky at all. And after wearing off, which for me was about 5 hours without eating or drinking, it left behind a simple rosy stain to my natural colored lips. Wait until you guys see this gloss 



 Cute silver packaging 

 Gorgeous sleek tube

 Curved doe foot applicator 

Again with the beautiful packaging 

How stinkin' cute is this when you open the box!?

Sweet Rose 
A mauve rose with golden shimmer 
Can you see the shimmer? It's so fine you'd never feel it on your lips! 

Sweet Rose 
soooo incredibly stunning! It's in my purse, because I don't wanna be without it! 

They sale on the website for $24.00 

I know I am not the only one that is over the moon about this gloss! Definitely check it out!

Zoya Velvet Matte collection

*Press sample sent for review

So Zoya re-released their Velvet Matte collection. ....and boy am I SOOOO glad that they did. I think matte polish wasn't too appealing to me for quite some time. Every now and then I would see a manicure that was matte and really like it. More often than not though, I wouldn't particularly care for matte polish. ....... then I got a hold of these little babies. I.FELL.IN.LOVE! These are gorgeous and I love the way they apply. They were so smooth and silky. Velvety!! They looking stunning on. I literally did the -hand in the air twist, and wiggled my fingers. lmbo They look really sophisticated! I think that sets them apart from most other matte polishes. I used 2 coats on all of these below and no top coat! 


Dovima, Savita, Posh, Veruschka, Loredana, & Harlow
