So what are you waiting for???? Buy your ticket now and join in on the fun!!! I'll be there so make sure to say hi!!

Nails & Nail Aid

Glammies I listened to what you guys want to see on Glam 2 Go. One of the top things to see more of is (drum roll please)........ NAILS! Now this is hard for me since I'm a makeup artist/esthetician and tend to keep my nails short. I don't do acrylic since it kills my nails and gel is not bad but I don't have the time for the upkeep and I don't want to spend the money on it. So............I'm in the process of growing my nails and getting them strong to start my mission of nail art and swatching. I'm trying this products I found yesterday name Nail Aid.  It's a dupe for Sally Hansen 4 n 1 and it cost a less (Nail Aid $3.89 and Sally Hansen $7.36) Review to come soon on it.

Have anyone of you heard of this, tried it, or do you have any nail tricks to share to get my nails on point?

M.I.A!

So I know that a few of you have noticed and commented on my lack of posting and my overall MIA. I want to apologize for being gone for so long and my lack of communication. A lot has happened in the last year and life has taken over. Having a 1 year old now that thank goodness is doing better and a crazy schedule of business and work that has had me really crazy lately. But I will share with my Glammies the rest that has been happening in a video so you can see and hear from me what's going on.

As you can see my internet is working for now and I will take full advantage and post my giveaway for the holiday. Once video is done I will post on here for your viewing.


Thanks again for the love and support.

Love,

New OCC Nylon Lip Tar

Viviscal Final Review

The trial with Viviscal has come to an end. Booooooo!!! But no wait no Booooo since it went very well and I'm going back for more. Why you ask and does it REALLY work? Well, I'm going back cause it really does work and I'm so happy with the results. On my previous review I talked about my hair loss and thinning after having my baby Stormy and after taking this vitamin for 3 months I must say what a difference. Here are studies break downs from Viviscal.

Before starting I cut about 4-5 inches of hair. I was left with my hair just touching the top of my back. Now my hair is at my shoulders and feeling healthy, soft, and shiny. I also noticed that my nails grew faster, longer, and stronger. My skin hasn't looked this clear and healthy in years and I have brows again!!

Alright here is the proof. Before and after pics below.

Before

After

 The difference from both the pics are in the before my hair was blown out and after is my natural curly hair. 

As you can see from the pictures my hair has grown in and the front of my hairline is all new growth. That's where you see the little curls in front. 

Overall my experience was great and I will be making an order very soon. Especially since they have this great deal going on their site. Buy 2 get 1 free so you're paying $99.99 for a 3 month supply. 

Now I want to hear from my Glammies if you have tried it and your feedback. Let's chat! 

*The company Viviscal provided me and 24 other bloggers with 3 month supply of product for an honest review. I was not paid for this review. 

Makeup Forever Aqua Cream Shadows

Let me start by saying that I really do love Makeup Forever! With that being said I was so excited to see that they came out with these new Aqua Shadows to add to the aqua family. Now if you have used their Aqua Creams then you know the staying power and these don't disappoint. Let me also say that after these swatches I had to scrub the heck out of my arm to get these babies off. 

Now just cause they're waterproof don't mean that it's dry or hard to apply. NOPE! They are so easy to apply and creamy. They blend lovely and as a mami again, it's great for a quick makeup and out door look. Perfect for anytime but since summer is here and it's perfect timing to unveil such a great product. 

Pictured above is a swatches of 5 out of 12 Aqua Shadows. From left to right is OE Matte Black, 22E Pearly Cooper, 26E Pearly Peach, 4E Matte Taupe Grey, and 30E Pearly Pink Beige. $20 *Shop at home has 12% cash back on Sephora.

This is what Sephora has to say on their site.

What it is:
A smudge-proof, long-lasting eye shadow pencil that enhances and intensifies the eyes. 

What it does:
Aqua Shadow’s intensely pigmented, waterproof formula provides immediate, rich color that will not smudge, crease, or fade. Created with silica powder, its ultra creamy texture glides effortlessly on the eyelid and blends easily for an even result. Incredibly simple to use, Aqua Shadow quickly creates a multitude of dynamic and colorful looks. 

What else you need to know:
Available in a wide range of 12 colors with matte and pearly finishes.
