Went a little WILD!

I have been experimenting with nail looks lately. I've grab inspiration from Pinterest, Instagram and as of late, Youtube. One particular Youtuber to be honest. CutePolish.  She does a video every Sunday, and comes up with the cutest designs. Best part? She makes it very easy to recreate. 

The week before last, she did one called Ombre Leopard nails. Now, when I recreated them, I didn't really go for the Ombre look, but I loved the spotting of the design, so I did follow that.  I included the original video and then below you will find my pics of my take on it.
 Enjoy!





What I used:

Base- Sally Hansen "White On"
The leopard spots- SinFul Colors in "Easy Going", "24/7", "Pink", "Dream On", "Black on Black"

Hydroxatone #AntiWrinkleSPF

Disclaimer- I was sent this product for review on behalf of iFabbo. All opinions are of my own.


I have been on the hunt for a really good skin care regimen, for day and night. I have found one that I am particularly fond of, but when iFabbo mentioned to me that I had this lovely cream waiting for me, I had to jump on the chance to try it. I have heard rave reviews on this and had to try it for myself. 

"Hydroxatone is an AM/PM Anti-Wrinkle Complex that contains SPF 15, Hyaluronic Acid ( which helps to retain moisture in the skin), Matrixyl3000 helps to promote natural levels of collagen, hyaluronic & fibronectin and Argirline which is an anti- aging peptide specifically designed to provide fast results." 
                                                       credit- iFabbo

Two things that stood out to me right away just from the name itself was Anti-Wrinkle and SPF 15. 
Although I may look 25, my younger years are far behind me, and thanks to skin care creams such as this, I have been able to maintain my "gasp" 36 years to look younger. Besides the usual drinking loads of water ( which I have to tell you, I hated as a kid and most of my adult life), eating healthy ( well I try). Having a good skin care regimen is key to keeping your face fresh. 

I used this product mainly at night, since I didn't really have a night time regimen that really worked for me. 
I used the cream after cleaning and toning my face before going to bed.  



Love the jar it comes in

It comes in a very pretty palm size jar with a mirror like lid. It's got a "whipped" consistency, so when you grab some, it's very soft and light feeling. A little does go a long way. ( Found out the hard way) I grabbed too much the first time, and my face was just a mess. Once you rub in the small amount, it dries very smooth on your face. 




I've only been using Hydroxatone for a few weeks now, and I have notice my skin being not so dry as it normally is when I wake up in the morning. So I think I will continue to use it to see if any other changes occur.

You are probably wondering why I was rambling all off these beauty and nail products off. Well, I was making my list of goodies that I would get with an amazon gift card. 
This beauty blogger has been "touched" by the Fairy Hobmother!


The Fairy Hobmother


I must say that I was fairly skeptical about this whole Fairy Hobmother deal, but I thought why not. On behalf of Appliances Online, the Fairy Hobmother just wants to spread joy across the blogosphere with your help of spreading the word about his mission and in return will spread some gift cards as a thank you!

It is said that if you comment on a post that talks about him, that he may pay you the same visit. I took a chance, and about a week or two later I was contacted. It's pretty exciting actually. It's like waiting for the tooth fairy! 

Want to see if he will pay you a visit? Well then, comment below what an encounter from the Fairy Hobmother would mean to you. Be sure to leave your email address and blog information so that if he does want to sprinkle some fairy goodness your way, he'll know how to contact you!
I can't promise he will contact everyone that comments, I actually won't know who he contacts, but it's worth a shot right? I did it out of pure excitement of the chance for the encounter and it happened! 

If he does contact you, let me know on Twitter @MarleneFrierson :) 

Good Luck lovelies!
