Literary Lacquers M&M

Today I have a few polishes from Literary Lacquers newest collection, Magic & Mysteries, plus one from a past collection that is stunning and worth another look as well. 

As always Amy blows us away with stunning holos and amazing glitter combos. She like the Yoda of indie polish.
All of these polishes apply like a dream and have amazing coverage. All of these photos below are of 2 coats each. Check 'em out

Influenster YSL VoxBox

Today I have an amazing review that I was soooo excited to share with you. I was one of the VERY lucky Influenster's to be sent the YSL box!! OMG!! I know right. I couldn't believe and I stalked the mailbox like an insane woman would. I swear my mailman probably thought I was waiting for gold to be dropped off at my front door. LOL! Well in a way it kinda is. 

SO when I open my package there is a beautiful golden box....

....and in that box is the most gorgeous gold tube with 3 letter that can melt any girls heart... YSL!

I have used this mascara a handful of times now and I have to say I am more than impressed. 

It stays put. It didn't make my lashes hard and crunchy. 

It's not waterproof, but I don't believe it claims that it is. Which is fine by me. I always end up pulling out my darn eyelashes when I go to remove waterproof mascara. Best part.... I wore it ALL day and it didn't bleed or flake on my skin!!!

My lashes look AMAZING!! They are full of volume and they look long and luscious! I am in LOVE!!! 

I am very particular about my mascaras and have thrown out and tried more than I can count. I have been called wasteful, but I can not stand a mascara that doesn't live up to my high standards. 

This one really does though. 

REMASTERED FORMULA 

CLAIMS: 

before- without mascara

(IGNORE the huge bag!!! Don't judge my bag)

with YSL mascara

with YSL mascara

with YSL mascara

This retails at Sephora for around $32

It's bittersweet really, I'm in love with a very high end expensive mascara........ but some things are WORTH splurging on! 

If you have tried this or are looking to (which I give a definite thumbs up), let me know what you think!!

Hi loves! Today I have CND's new summer 2015 collection 'Garden Muse'. These colors are hot hot hot! I am over the moon with Butterfly Garden! There are 2 repeat colors in the Shellac.
