Omg please don't get me started on this! This is the worst nail trend ever! Why?!!!
I bought this yesterday at Target ($5 something so ill call it $6) thinking "Oh cool! It's like the Zoya polishes" I wanted to try those out but I love Sally Hansen so I purchased this. Worst mistake ever I got it in the purple color thinking that I have waaaaayyyy too many nudes, reds, blues and sparkle. It looked cute in the bottle but when painted on it reminded me of Pepto Bismol. The texture of the "candy coating" made it feel like I had scaly fingers and looked like that crappy ceiling popcorn.
It was an all over NO GO, I will avoid this stuff like its the plague. It definitely wasn't as cool as I thought it was going to be. But if by chance you love the look of ceiling popcorn in the color of diarrhea medicine be my guest and buy away! Now excuse me while I go buy myself some nail stickers to cheer myself up.

One day left until Generation Beauty
I hope everyone has got their ticket already because today's the last day for the half off coupon otherwise you're spending 150 smackaroos to get in. Unless they put that crap on groupon or something the day of.
So very excited to go! I'll be dropping in after work just to register early then pop out since they have nothing formal planned that day. If they have something good I'll consider staying longer. Or maybe grab a cocktail from around there and go home. It is Friday so it might be busy just because. You never know. So cocktails when I get home? Or cocktails with you?
But all days I'll be tweeting and instagraming or whatever so if you want to follow someone going to the event you can follow me.

Vaseline spray and go moisturizer review
I have a problem with ashy skin and dry elbows and knees. I guess I'm supposed to scrub and moisturize but sometimes I only have time for one of the other or even neither of them.
Then I come across the new Vaseline spray and go. I stood there in the store and thought "jeeze what lazy chick needs this crap?" so I left it on the shelf in hopes it would collect dust and disappear for good. Nope! Didn't happen. I kept seeing it there taunting me.
"hey lady, you know you want me. "
It taunted me. So I broke down and got the cocoa scent. It was 5.99 at Target which is more than I like to spend on drugstore brand lotion but who cares? I had to get its voice out of my head. Plus who am I kidding, I'm VERY lazy about moisturizing anything but my face.
I brought it home, took a shower than sprayed away. It has a nice cooling mist that goes on somewhat easily and with a little effortless rubbing in I was perfectly moisturized and I didn't have the heavy skin feeling or funky scent. It smelled like cocoa butter but without the feeling of the buttery formula. I am now an instant fan of this product. It is truly perfect for the girl who gets up early, showers then rolls back into bed because it's so damn comfy until she realizes she has 10 minutes before she has to leave for work and dresses and forgets to get her lunch from the fridge.

Influenster! I got an invite!
Yes, I did get an email this morning from influenster inviting me to get a vox box. I did take the survey but then went "wait a sec..." and realized I never came around to figuring out how to get badges and all that jazz. So I went to town clicking, reading, retreading and reclicking until until I understood the basics.
Oh the tests! If you want to be distracted for a couple hours just take all the quizzes. Then review items...then answer things on the Q&A. 4 hours flew right by and I am addicted. You can't make me stop! Just you try, okay?
So hopefully I get it and I can have some more things to review here.

Generation beauty - contest alert!
Hey, contest alerts everyone! These aren't held by me but I am out of common courtesy posting my contest finds for the Generation Beauty 2013 event.
Itsjudytime posted a contest alert for those living in the LA area and has 3 tickets available. She also has a promo code for tickets but it's no better than the genbeautybag code. Both are for 50% off. Don't forget to subscribe to her because her reviews are pretty cool.

ALSO! There's a hashtag event from Pixi to win tickets. Use #generationpixi in an instagram or twitpic of Pixi products or a look created with their stuff for a chance to win. There is no update of when that will end but if there are anymore contests I find out about I will definitely keep everyone posted on it!
Hope to see you there and good luck!
