China Glaze Crackle Glaze Nail Polish Review

Now I know I'm super late on this crackle trend. When it first came out with OPI a few months ago I was searching and searching and couldn't find it, so I kinda gave up on it. When I was in Colorado last week I saw it at an Ulta I visited and I had to try it.

I decided to pick up the China Glaze Crackle Glaze in Black Mesh

The first time I applied it, it didn't come out how I expected. It was in big lines instead of random crackles. During this madness, the nail polish spilled all over me and my computer and ended up messing up the design.

So I decided to take it off and reapply it. I noticed not much product was coming on the brush so I decided to shake it up and that was the hallelujah moment. After I shook the product, it applied and crackled nicely.

Point Black Period.... I love this nail polish. I think its something different from just putting on a regular, boring coat of nail polish.

The one thing that is my personal problem with it is the color for MY skin tone. It doesn't make my hands look as feminine as I like. I think the black is too close to my skin tone, next time I see a crackle nail polish I will definitely pick it up in another color (White, Blue, Pink, Silver...something other than black lol). I've had it on for a couple days now and it has barely chipped and I didnt even put a top coat on it.

I would give this product a 5/5. If you've been thinking about getting the crackle nail polish you should at least try it. Just remember to shake it up lol.

by the way, the color I used underneath it is O.P.I's Elephantastic Pink

Have you tried crackle nail polishes? Or whats your favorite nail polish trend?

Whats In My Travel Make Up Bag

This is everything I took with my to my trip to Colorado. I only wore make up for a couple days but I like to have all of this with me just in case. This may be a lot for some of you guys or maybe too little. I don't bring any eye shadows because i usually don't wear anything on my eyes.

Here is my case. I found this under my sink with a bunch of other bags I have. I didnt even know I had it. Im surprised all of this fits in this bag.

On top is my concealer. The label wore off but I think it is from Covergirl.

The two liquid foundations are Maybelline's Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Foundation in Dark 2 (Caramel) and Dark 3 (Cocoa).

The powder foundation is from Maybelline as well.

It is the Mineral Power Natural Perfecting Powder foundation in Dark 1 (Tan).

I brought two different foundations because since last summer I have been in between two different shades.

The gold mascara is the Voluminous Million Lashes by L'oreal.

The middle one is Great Big Lash Mascara by Maybelline in Blackest Black.

The one on the left is Maybelline's Great Last Clear Mascara ( I use it to tame my eyebrows).

I only brought two mascaras, the million lashes for a dramatic look and the great big lash for an everyday look.

The top is Line Stiletto Liquid Liner by Maybelline.

The second is Automatic Eye liner by Ulta in black

the third is Metallic Eyes Automatic Eye Liner by Ulta in Golden Eyes.

The fourth is a lip liner in a redish pink ( a little girl bought this from me so I dont know where she got it from lol)

Cetaphil Moisturizer Review

Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion for all skin types

Its Claims:

"This everyday, lightweight moisturizer is ideal for all over body hydration."

• Helps restore skin's natural protective barrier
• keeps skin moisturized and hydrated
• Non-greasy formula leaves skin immediately soft and smooth

It is definitely one of the best moisturizers I've used. I mainly use this product on my face, I feel it is a little too light weight to use on my body (I like to use heavier creams on my body). I believe that all of its claims are true. I bought this maybe a year ago and i still have some left in the bottle (but i don't use this everyday). I'm sure if I used it everyday I would have gone through it a lot quicker.

I wish this product had SPF in it, that would make it perfect.

This is the first product I've purchased from Cetaphil but i definitely want to try their cleanser.

Have you ever tried Cetaphil products? Whats your favorite moisturizer?
