Pinkalicious

I didn't post yesterday because I was having too much fun doing this!

And my friend Molly wasn't the only one who got pinked…

It's subtle, but I like it! Would you go with the pastel hair trend?

Hair Hue

I made a purchase yesterday.

Whatever shall I do with it?

I'm leaning toward this.

Ombre pink tips. Maybe not half my hair. Just 3 inches or so. I figure, why not? It's temporary!

Emma Stone Makeup Tutorial

I filmed this tutorial a while ago and finally got it up! Here's the Emma Stone makeup look you wanted to see. I really like how it turned out. It's classic, but the lip color is super fun and perfect for Spring and Summer.

Perfectly Posh Review

At the prom boutique I worked at last week, there was a booth selling something I didn't recognize. That's a rarity for me when it comes to direct sales companies. It was something called Posh Boutique. It reminded me of Lush, and I loves me some Lush.

She had set up body butters, bath bombs, lotion bars, lip balms. I was in girly spa heaven.

One of the first things I noticed about the products was the scent. Julia, the consultant, had an entire table of them, but the scent wasn't crazy-strong. Sometimes when I visit other stores (which shall not be named), I am overwhelmed by the smell. It always smells good, but after a few minutes I get a headache. With Perfectly Posh, it smells amazing, but not overpowering.

Julia was gracious enough to give me some product to review.

The Bominator in Slap! Wired Mango Caffeine Fizz, Chunk! Bath Bar in Chatter and Lipshot LipBalm in John Doe.

I tried the lip balm first since I could pop the top off and use it anywhere. John Doe is a minty detoxifying formula. I'm not sure how to tell if my lips have been fully detoxed, but I do know that they're really soft. My lips absorbed the product without leaving a greasy film. I noticed a lasting difference from this one!

The bath bomb smells delish. I have a little mango obsession, so this was right up my alley. The caffeine in the product isn't to wake you up, but to reduce cellulite. I think it will take me a few more baths to reduce this girl's unsightly dimples, but I have that chance. Each Bombinator has multiple uses. Just place it in a plastic bag and drop it on a hard floor. I can't wait to use it again!

The Chatter soa is a citrus-scented bar of luxury. It's really moisturizing with natural glycerin. And at 7 oz., it will last me a while too! I'm not used to using bar soap, but this might have converted me. It gave me soft skin while still making me feel clean. That's impressive coming from a girl who loves her bath pouf.

All-in-all, Perfectly Posh gets a rousing thumbs-up from me. Prices are spot on for the quality and Julia was super fun to work with.

If you want to order your own Perfectly Posh products, be a hostess or sign up as a consultant, visit Julia's website.

Aw…SNAP!

Notice anything different on my sidebar? Scroll down. A little more. There it is! See that orange button down there? Yup. I'm going to my first bloggers' conference!

It was really random how it all came together, but I could not be happier!

SNAP! is a 3-day conference targeting handmade craft, event planning and DIY bloggers. Granted, I'm technically none of those things. (Does DIY hair count?) But I know I'll be able to apply 99.9% of what I learn there to make my blog cooler, bigger and better.

I can't wait to go, then come back and share the awesomeness with you all! The question is…can I wait 2 more weeks?!

Gradient Nail Tutorial

I've tried a few different tutorials on doing gradient nails so I decided to try it for myself! Using my sister as a guinea pig (thanks Sis!), I used a messy, but cool technique with a makeup sponge.

1. Paint your nails a base color. Since you'll be sponging on the polish, the color isn't as intense as painting. You'll definitely need something as a "background".
2. Choose your colors. The most I would do is 3 unless you have long nails. Then you can fit more!
3. Clip a makeup sponge in a shape roughly the size of your largest fingernail. Liberally paint the polish on your sponge since it will soak it up.
4. Apply the nail from the sponge to your nails. Do this as many times as it takes to you reach the opacity you like, reapplying the polish to the sponge each time. Just to warn you, it will make a huge mess! Clean up the edges using fingernail polish remover and a cotton swab.
5. Apply a clear topcoat. This will not only protect the polish from chipping, but it evens out the texture from the sponge.
6. All done!

Let me know if you try this look. Send some pics or pin it to Pinterest if you like!
