TSF Review: Sinful Works Professional Nail Polish


So here is my mani I did yesterday. (sorry for the poor quality picture) 
This color is called Neon Melon by Sinful Works and I HATE this color! I had to do so many coats of the color i lost count after 5. Not good at all, plus when it dried it matted. I don't like when my color looks like that i like a little shine and this color clearly wasn't what i expected. I don't like saying bad things about products but this just wasn't at all a good experience. I only paid $1.99 for this color and I don't mind but I wont be getting bright colors by this line anymore.

TSF Review: Biotin

So Fashionista's since I've been back in Brooklyn I've been taking these Biotin pills because i heard from a few different people about the great results they got from taking them. Let me tell you these work wonders! Its been a month and honestly my hair has grown so much and my nails just keep getting longer. However I didnt notice it at first because I was constantly clipping my nails. If you want longer hair and nails they sell Biotin at any GNC or Pharmacy store located nearest you!

TSF: Update !


So Fashionista's I used the free gift I got from Sephora for my birthday gift. First of all its super creamy which I love! I don't like when shampoo's are super watery or not smooth. It smells amazing I can still smell it after I conditioned my hair. I absolutely LOVE this! I'm so gonna see if I can purchase this because I want MORE! I would recommend this highly if i knew whether or not Sephora sold this to the public. If they do then go get it! If not then I'm totally sorry your just going to have to wait for your birthday.

Sephora is tugging at my heart strings.

From Brooklyn to Manhattan

Hey Fashionista's, I know I haven't been blogging regularly lately but I'll try my best to get back on it. I've moved back to Brooklyn and I'm searching for a job so that pretty much takes up my days. Today I had a very good lunch date with my oldest sister Jenn's best friend Danilsa. It was such a good lunch (we went to Ruby Tuesdays on 7th) , I ordered a grilled chicken salad. I always said I would never be one of those people who order a salad   but I didn't wanna order something that would mess up my stomach because I wasn't feeling so great. Any who, I got to the city a little early so I killed some time and hit up Starbucks over on 6th and ordered (for the first time) a tall Extra Coffee Caramel Frappuccino. It was amazing but it wasn't so smart ordering a cold drink when I wasn't wearing any gloves. I then headed to Sephora back on 7th with the intention of just looking. Of course that didnt happen and I ended up purchasing make-up and some facial cleansing wipes, I also received my free birthday gift early!



My free birthday gift (my birthday-march 15th)
Flavor: Vanilla Birthday Cake
Uses: Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath
Since I cant use perfumed soap on my skin because of eczema I'll be using this in my hair. Hopefully no one will want to eat my hair. 


So since I moved back to Brooklyn I never really noticed that I forgot my makeup brushes. I'm also running out of foundation and I lost my concealer. I'm the worst when it comes to keeping my make-up stuff together but I'm getting better at it. My last foundation was from the VS brand and I wasn't to happy with the coverage and look of it. I wanted to try something different so I walked around Sephora and the Sephora stored brand makeup was right in the front so I looked around. I noticed these kits and decided I wanted to try it out. As you can see on the box it comes with Smoothing Primer, Buildable Cover Concealer + Concealer Brush, Mineral Compact Foundation + Powder Brush and Double-Sided Sponge. Inside the box it comes with a card that tells you how to apply all your make-up. I'll definitely do a review for this after the month is up.


Finally but not least, I bought these Express Cleansing Wipes. It cleanses and removes all types of make-up even long wearing make-up without leaving it oily. It contains HydroSenn+ which is a softening ingredient. I'm super excited to use these because since I rarely wear make-up I never used wipes I always just removed my make-up and exfoliated.

My experience in Sephora was amazing as usual. The Buildable Cover Complexion Kit was originally $78.00 but was on sale for $34.00 (thats such a steal!) and the Cleansing Wipes were $9.00 (very inexpensive). Sephora is a bit pricey but for good quality make-up you have to pay up. If your just starting out into make-up I recommend you start out with drugstore items. There the best and usually most brands are good quality. I have 94 points with my beauty insider card, when you hit 100 you receive a free gift so sign up today! Its FREE!
