Essie Nail Polish Dupes~!

Hey Guys~!

At the beginning of the week my friend Tiffany and I were talking about nail polish, were girls don't judge our conversation topics...Anyway we specifically talking about Essie nail polishes, since we both like a lot of the colors. But for $8 or more a bottle, I personally don't like buying them. Our idea was to pick out a few Essie polishes and find matches for those colors. This won't be a review, since buying all these polishes would be expensive. So let's start~~!

Neutral Taupe


Classic Red


Dark Maroon


Cobalt Blue


Mint


Olive Green


Pale Pink


Pink Glitter


Warm Toned Purple


Muted Red


Those were ten Essie nail polish dupes, based on the color. My friend and I had a really fun time doing this, so if you want other dupes posts, let me know in the comments below. Thank you guys so much for reading and I hope to see you at my next post.

Winter Vacation + Holiday Haul~!

Hey Guys~!

Sorry for not posting anything this month. I've had tons of projects and exams are coming up too. I'll try to post as much as I can in these last two weeks of January, and when February comes, I promise there will be more content. Anyways, recently I got back from my trip to Florida, and now I'm back home where it's freezing cold ;_; I thought I'd share not only what I got there, but also what I got as holiday presents from my friends and family. I don't celebrate Christmas, but I do exchange gifts. So let's start~~!

I'll start with what I got in Florida. I went into this really cute dollar store and got a few things. First thing I got was this set of three notepads. I love the design and thought the color scheme was super cute. I like having little notebooks like this in my bags in case I need to write something down.


Next thing I got was this compact mirror. The design on the front reminded me of a dress up game I used to play online. What I didn't know when I bought it was that there is a comb inside the mirror that you need to take out in order to open the compact. Also I have no idea who the picture is of inside the mirror...


Lastly from the dollar store I got this really cute squishy key chain. I've seen these on countless websites and at conventions for a ton of money, but I had always wanted one. I found this one there and it's a little green tea cake with little stars and a berry on top. I plan to put it on my bag for school or on a wallet.


At my last trip, I bought a perfume which was Lolita Lempicka. This time I got a different perfume and it was one I'd been looking for, and it is Daisy by Marc Jacobs. I got the 3.4 oz bottle, which was bigger than I thought it would be. It's a floral scent, but it also has light musk scent, which I absolutely love the combination of the two.

And now for my Holiday presents~!! I mostly got money from my family, but I did do a gift exchange with my friend Tiffany, so I thought I'd show you guys what she got me. It's this set of Benefit tinted lip balms and mini tints. I love tinted lip balms, so I'm really excited to try these and review them for you guys.


So that was my mini vacation/holiday haul. If you guys are interested on a review on anything shown, let me know in the comments below and I'll try to work on the review as soon as possible. Thank you guys so much for reading, I hope you had an amazing winter vacation (if you have one), and I'll see you at my next post.
