BOSCIA brightening mask
BOSCIA Brightening mask
So I got this to trial out.
First, let me say that when I was applying it, it was like tar. I thought there is no way this is going to peel off my face. It is super thick. BUT I was pleasantly surprised! It was actually pretty easy to peel off and came off in large pieces. I was only left with a few remnants of the mask post peeling. I was able to just wash those off. My face felt super smooth after and was slightly red. After about 5 minutes, the redness was gone and my skin did look radiant! I am definitely a fan and plan on buying this one once I use up some of my other products. I have had my eyes on this for awhile!

Baby Foot Peel
So I was skeptical of the baby foot peel. Was this thing worth the $25 price tag?? Would my feet peel and look like a baby's? I mean, I dont have horrible feet, but I would use a little more sloughing of the skin than the standard pedicure.
Well this was the process of putting it on. I have to say, it is slime-y and gel-y. Overall, difficult to walk in. I kept the "booties" on for about 1.5 hours. The instructions said for an hour and I figured it wouldnt hurt for an extra little bit.
HOLY HECK! I got out of the shower on Monday and BAM! My feet were peeling everywhere! It was awesome! I followed the instructions though...only soap and water on your feet...no lotion, creams, etc. It works. Today is Wednesday and my feet are like 95% peeled off. CRAZY!
Also, I know that the package says its a one time use, however, I definitely think that you can seal the booties and share with a friend. I actually did this and gave them to my mom to try out. This way, you get more bang for your buck. I can vouch that these things work if you follow the instructions! The photos dont lie. The hardest thing that I found was that I wanted to peel off the skin. I did a little and it didnt hurt at all while doing it or after, FYI. But I tried to refrain from doing so. Now there is peeled off skin all over our condo. HA! But it was worth it!

Julep Freedom Polymer Top Coat
I purchased it! I tried it out today. It dries in like 3 minutes, even without curing it under a 60 watt bulb. It acts like regular polish and smells like regular polish. I actually put it over my OPI no chip. I will update this post in a week or so with details on how well it works and if its work the $18! :)
UPDATE: So I put this over my no chip and my no chip lasted FO-EV-VA! It lasted 2+weeks which never happens because I am constantly washing my hands due to my job. My no chips usually only last for about 1-1.5 weeks so this definitely extended the life of it. It did start to peel off the top on day 13ish, but my no chip was still fantastic underneath. I am a fan.
I am going to try it on a regular mani this weekend and will update how long that lasts for me. Updates to come!
UPDATE:
So I just got a brand new pedi today. I put the Julep polymer coat over the top coat. It was dry in about 2 minutes. I did notice this time, it was a little thicker when I applied it. A bit more difficult to smooth out...however super shiny! See below pictures. I will keep you posted on how well it stays with normal polish!

Face makeup LOVES!!!
Ok so since I have been getting ready for my wedding, I have been trying out all of the newest, latest and greatest stuff.
My first new find...MAC Mineralize Foundation with SPF 15. Let me tell you, this stuff melts into your skin that causes a smooth and perfect finish! I absolutely love it. I actually even bought the stippling brush for that airbrush effect as well. Its great! Go to MAC and enjoy. It also doesnt feel heavy. I never wear foundation and I love this one.
Sonia Kashuk Concealer is a great drugstore buy! I saw this on a youtube video (actually on like 3 different ones) so I knew that I had to try it out. I found it at Target. It is great. There is 3 different cream concealers that work to neutralize, cover, perfect my imperfections...including my eye bags...BOOO~! Also, there is a powder to lightly dust over top. It hid my under eye bags great and it goes on smooth with awesome coverage.
Laura Mercier Secret Camoflauge Concealer...amazballs! Be careful though because it is thick. I usually use this stuff just where I need it over top of my Sonia Kashuk Concealer Palette for extra coverage. I also like that there are two colors to blend it out over my cheeks.
Chella Beautiful Blonde Eyebrow Color Kit. They are the most amazing company. First I was addicted (and still am addicted!!!) to their Anti Fatigue Eye Masks. If you havent tried them, DO IT! You wont regret it. But, this pencil, brow gel and highlighting pencil is amazing! I usually use a brow powder and was slightly hesitant to try a pencil because I think of my grandma with the thick, drawn in brows BUT this pencil was great. It was a perfect color for my lighter brows. Also, I like it because I can create a more natural brow with the pencil and small strokes. Also, I liked the highlighting pencil because I was able to have more control over where it went and smudge it in as needed. The brow gel definitely was easy to apply and it held my brows in place all day. I like that is like a mascara brush as well.
