Paint 'em Dark, Paint 'em Light

So I have become a nail polish fiend lately, and I love the winter months because I love a good moody hue on my nails.

The problem is it is not always easy to find shades that you want to wear again and again.

Unless you go to Deborah Lippmans line.

Here are two of my most recent purchases:

(thank you Birchbox!)

DON'T TELL MAMA

They describe this on the Deborah Lippman website as mood ring green/blue - divine.

WAKING UP IN VEGAS

This one is described as putty-licious gray (creme). Mmm.

I will say I was weary of this color because gray I think can instantly make it look like your nails have died, but this really is light and creamy.

Also, I got these both for free via Birchbox! Premium sized samples from amazing lines every month and I earn points to get things for free??? Win/win.

I love that site and with the points I have earned from referrals and sending in reviews on the products they have sent me I got $32 worth of nail polish for free! You can pick anything, but as much as i love Deborah Lippman it is hard to pay $16 a bottle. Free is more like it.

Email me if you are interested and I will send you an invite. It is totally worth it.

I Love a Box in the Mail

So, when I first found out about this I was a little skeptical, but now I think it could be the best thing ever!

Hello Birchbox!

Birchbox is a wonderfully monthly package full of *DELUXE* makeup samples from some amazing brands like NARS, Cargo, perfume from anyone and everyone to name just a few.

I dont know about you but I am not a makeup girl, but whenever I catch a bad photo of myself I think, "I could use a little something so I dont look washed out." (My mom just fell off her chair)

Well, I dont want to peruse makeup aisles and counters for hours and hours, and spend mounds of money on what I think will work (which usually doesnt). That is where Birchbox comes in.

All you do is fill in your beauty profile and for $10 a month they will send you 4-5 *DELUXE* samples of what they believe to be worthwhile and useful products. Dreamy.

Here is a glimpse of my first box:

A lovely card with a list of what is in your box and what it is used for.

Hello beautiful package!

All of my goodies.

I just got this baby today but I am hoping to do some test runs this weekend since I have another wonderful wedding.

If you are interested, let me know and I will send you an invitation from moi!
