Influenster Bonus Badge Goodies

I know it's been a while but I wanted to stop through and share what I recently got in the 

mail from Influenster. After finishing out my Lovebox that i got back in February from 

Influenster I qualified for 2 separate "bonus badges" which entitled me to some 

extra goodies. 

The special bonus gifts came directly from Kiss and New York Color  

First is the from Kiss I got the Kiss Nail dress Stickers in Peplum and some Kiss Nail

Artist metallic accent stickers. 

You've seen me model several of the amazing Kiss Nail Dress Stickers and with them

the possibilities for nail art and design are endless. The Peplum design is just as 

amazing as all the rest and has sparkly geometrically shaped jewels on a black 

nail based background. Great to dress up some jeans and a tee or be the talk

of the town all dressed up from head to toe. 

That's right the Kiss Nail Dress Stickers can also go on your toes which makes them 

Summertime sandal suitable indeed. 

The Nail Artist stickers are pure fun and you can dress up your: nails, toenails , or 

try an accent jewel on your face. 

Definitely great fun w/ these Kiss products. 

New York Color sent me out this LE (limited edition) palette in 

Dark Shadows. 

It comes with shimmery shadows in: Black (crease/contour), Gunmetal (crease/contour)

Silver (lid) and White (highlight). It also comes with a Primer, it's own 

Illuminator and a duo ended applicator with a sponge tip and brush on the opposite side. 

This Dark Shadows palette is great for a traditional smokey eye or you can get super

dramatic with these gorgeous dark colors. It's also very compact which makes it convenient and 

you have everything you need in one little package. Just pack it in your makeup bag and go. 

I'll definitely be testing out some looks with my newest goodies and I'll 

be sure to take pictures when I do. 

Til then talk to you later Gl'Amouristas. 

Green Berry-Nana smoothie

Beauty just isn't about putting on makeup, fancy jewelry or gorgeous digs; it's also about being healthy both inside and out. Being that I'm on a journey to a new me physically I thought I'd share with you one of my new breakfast drinks.

The Green Berry-Nana smoothie.

You've probably seen tons of green smoothies,

but I felt inclined to share my twist on it and it's one

I'm pretty sure you'll like.

If you're hesitant about the green part that's spinach that makes it green. Sure it sounds a little odd but after it's all blended together you can't even taste the spinach.

Here are the ingredients:

1 c of soy milk (I use Silk)

1 med. banana (frozen)

8 med. sized fresh strawberries (frozen)

1 6-8 oz container of Strawberry-Banana yogurt

(I use Krogers carbmaster)

2-3 c Baby spinach (I used 2 c)

*Note: Make sure your banana is peeled and the strawberries are stemmed and cut before freezing. This makes things so much easier.

Place everything into the blender in layers,

 and blend until smooth.

Be aware you may need to blend a few times a push

some of the contents down into the blender with

a spoon because the spinach takes some time to blend.

The calories apply to the products I used so if you use something different they may be higher or lower, but not by much.

After speaking to one of my nutrition gurus I'm going to switch my soy milk to almond and incorporate some flax which will give me the Omega-3 and fiber I need.

Have you tried any "green" smoothies, and if so what flavors? If not would you ever try them?

Til next time Gl'Amour-istas Look, Feel and Eat healthy.

China Glaze Prismatic Collection

Sure it seems as if I've gone nail polish crazy and you're probably right but who can pass up holographic and glittery? Not me my friend; these two finishes are trending yet again and when you can find them combined it's definitely a treat.

As I was browsing one of my favorite nail sites (head2toe.com) I ran across China Glazes newest Prismatic Collection. GORGEOUS!!

Yes ma'am.

Excuse me for these pictures but I tried

to capture all that's in the bottle and I just simply couldn't.

The glitter and holographic effect is amazing in these

six amazing nail polishes. They cover in 1 to 2 really nice coats, which means you don't need a base color.  

Also very typical for most glitter polishes

these dry rather quickly so they're

pretty reliable if your in a hurry.

Not all of the bases are clear some do have holographic tints to them and the glitters range small to large hexi and in various colors. I was stoked from the pictures alone but again I say the pictures don't do these girls any justice.

I haven't gotten around to swatching them because I'm

letting my nails rest right now, but please check

back because I will be swatching them soon.

Are you into holos, glitter or both?
