BlogGo App!!

Hello Beauties,

Today I have a different kind of a post! Today I will be talking about the new BlogGo app by Dana who has the Wonder Forest blog! As you all may know that Google has its own blogging app, but trust me it's no good and a lot of people are not happy with it. Although they have done updates, it just doesn't cut it for us bloggers. So Dana had created a BlogGo app. I bought it from my Apple App Store today and instantly fell in love with it. Although it was slow in the beginning but it works great now! Sometimes there are issues with servers. In this blogging app you can basically do anything that you can do on blogger. I love how this app includes so many options. So let's get into a little in depth review of the app with pictures and stuff.

Here is what the main page of the blog looks like!  First of  I love the black color. It just makes the app look very "professional" I guess? There are 6 mini widgets that come within the app. Starting from the top it is the NEW POST widget: I love this one, you can create new posts with in seconds! The new posts widget has so many options, you can insert links, add images, left center or right your text, and the one thing I love about it is that you can Bold, Italics, and also Underline within the app. It makes writing posts so much easier. As you can see in the image below its very easy go figure everything out!

I also love how you can look at your past posts, and you can also publish, save, and schedule your posts. There is also a widget to read and approve comments. Also there is a widget called subscriptions  for all the blogs you follow. It lists out all the blogs, and when you touch the right it brings up the blog you want to read! I also love how the blogs come as "mobile view." There is also a widget where you can view your blog/s. And a settings widget.

You all can tell how much I love this app! I have just had it for a day and I am totally in love with it! I have wanting for someone to create an app like this for a long time! And finally its here. Purchase this app for $2.99 on the App Store. As of now it is only available for iPhone's. Here is what Dana had to say about her app release: BlogGo


I hope all of you enjoyed this post! Let me know in the comments below if you have downloaded this app! Promise me you are going to be impressed. BlogGo

Sally Hansen Navy Baby

Hello Beauties,

 Hope all of you are doing wonderful, and enjoying my blog. Today's Nail Of The Moment is Sally Hansen's Navy Baby.This shade is a deep dark navy blue. I love how in not enough light this shade looks black, but in natural it looks navy blue. I don't have a lot of Sally Hansen polishes, but I love the formula of their polishes. Also the brush is great, if you have big nail beds it applies perfectly. I also love the packaging of this Sally Hansen shade, the glass is great, and the color shows good too. One thing I was confused was that there is shimmer when you look at the shade, but it really doesn't apply on the nails. I have tried at every angle, but there is no shimmer. Here are the pics you can see your self how great this shade is!

Wet n Wild Sweet as Candy Eyeshadow Trio.

Hello Beauties,

Hope all of you are doing great. Welcome to all my new followers, and to followers who have been with me since day 1 thank you very much for your support. :)

 Today's post is going to be on the Wet n Wild Sweet as Candy Eyeshadow Trio. This trio consists of 3 really pigmented shades, the top one is a frosty white, then there is a dark chocolate brown, and the last shade in this trio is a berry sheer pink. These shades are really easy to blend and they go on smoothly. You can create a lot of different looks with only these 3 shades. As you can see these shades have a engraving in them one for Browbone, for Crease, and for Eyelids. It tells you where you can apply each color and create a great look. I love the Wet n Wild shadows, they are affordable and really great quality. I also love the packaging for these, it fits easily into my makeup bag without taking up so much space. You can find these at most of the drugstores, for $2.99 each (prices may vary). I want to get more trio shades, will be stopping by the drugstore this weekend!

PocketBac Anti-Bacterial Hand Gel

Hello Beauties,

Hope all of you are doing great. Winter is almost over and I am really excited about spring! Although winter has its perks but spring is amazing! Today's post I am going to share with you my most favorite product from the Bath & Body Works store, these are the mini hand sanitizers, which are great. These are usually 5 for $5 and regular price is $1.75 each. As you can see I picked 5 of them: Sweet Pea, Fresh Lavender, Warm Vanilla Sugar, Caribbean Escape and Simply Bloom. I love all of them but my favorite one is Sweet Pea it has the best sweet scent ever. These little sanitizer's are amazing for anyone, anywhere. I usually have 3 in each room of my house, couple of them in my work desk drawer, couple in my car, in my purse, basically anywhere I go I need them! They keep your hands fresh, and kill the bacteria what more could you ask for? 

Here are what they look like:

NYX Lip Smacking Fun Colors

Hello Beauties,

I am a big fan of NYX cosmetics! I love all their products, they are affordable and also great quality. Today I have review on the 3 NYX lip smacking fun colors, these are lipsticks and have great pigmentation.

The 3 colors I have are 501 Iris, 519A Lips Du Jour and 618 Georgia. 

First of all I love the packaging of these lipsticks. It's great I love how from the bottom you can see the shades of the lipsticks so you wont have a hard time. Also the black looks amazing on the cover. These are really great, I love how the color shows up on the lips, I always wear some chap stick underneath the lipstick. The staying power is not that great but it can last couple of hours. These lipsticks are really creamy, and the colors have amazing sparkle.

Iris: Gorgeous light shimmery pink. I love the shimmer in this. It looks great with cat eyeliner.

Lips Du Jour:  A simple shiny gold.

Georgia: It is a pink almost neutral, but it has a lot of shimmer. I am not sure if a lot of people like a lot of shimmer on their lips. But this looks great.

* Valentine's Day Nails! OPI If You Moust You Moust & Julep Maven America

Hello Beauties,

Happy Valentine's Day! Hope all of you are having a great day and enjoying with your Valentine! Today's post will be for my manicure on Valentine's day! The colors I am using are:

OPI: If You Moust You Moust: This shade is from the Opi Vintage Minni Mouse collection. It is a bubble gum pink color. I adore this pink shade so much. Its the perfect pink color for V-Day. I have 3 coats on. I thought of using a red shade instead of pink, but when I was going through my collection I was hooked on this color and had to use it.

Julep Maven: America-The Beautiful: I love this shade. I received it in my Julep box in July 2011. It is a glitter red shade with silver blue glitter and silver stars. I love the blue glitter in this shade, it pops out so much and looks great. They reason I chose this shade for my V-Day nails is because the red undertones makes it perfect. I have it as my "tips" on my nails, I also love the gold glitter in this shade. There are not enough good things I can say about this shade.

Let's move on to the pics:

NOTM: L'Oreal The Muse's Attitude 791

Hello Beauties,

Hope all of you are doing great. First of all I just want to welcome all my new followers! It is really great that you have joined my blog. I hope you enjoy my blog. Thank you for all your support.

Today I have a NOTM which is Nail of The Moment. The color I am wearing is The Muse's Attitude by L'Oreal it was from their Fall 2012 Runway collection. This is one of my favorite green toned colors. I love this on the nails, and it is perfect for any season. The Muse's Attitude is a pretty teal color, with the perfect glow and a metallic shimmer. I love the deep glow in this color, it is amazing how the color kind of changes from blues and greens depending on where the light hits. The formula is great I am wearing 2 coats on my fingers without a top coat and it doesn't chip for at least 2-3 days. I also love the bottle, love the glass square. This shade is really pretty.

Here are the swatches:





                                                   Hope you all enjoyed this post.

Maybelline Color Tattoo Audacious Asphalt & Tenacious Teal


Hello Beauties,

Hope all of you are having a wonderful day. You guys know how much I love Maybelline products. Today I will be reviewing 2 of the Color Tattoo's, in Audacious Asphalt and Tenacious Teal. I absolutely adore these 2 colors. They are perfect alone on your eyelids, or you can also use them as a base for eyeshadow. They do not crease, but if you have oily lids you really do need a primer. The lasting power is good. I had mine on for more then 9 hours and they stay pretty good. Lets get into the details about the shades.

Audacious Asphalt: I am so in love with this shade. It is a dark blue sort of like gunmetal color. It is a shimmery color, which I love. I wear Audacious Asphalt on my lid alone with some think black eyeliner and little bit of mascara. It turns out to be an amazing look! Especially if you don't have a lot of time 3 steps and you are done. Oh and another things about this gorgeous color you can create a smokey eye with it!

Tenacious Teal: Is a medium blue with silver shimmer. I love this shade for summer or spring. This is also one of the shades you can just apply on the eyelid alone. The one thing about this color is that it is very difficult to blend, other than that everything is great about Tenacious Teal.

Here are the pics and swatches:

CoverGirl Eyeshadow Palette in Sugar Coated

Hello Beauties,

Hope all of you are doing great. I believe that eye shadows are a must in every makeup collection. Today we are going to take a look at Covergirl eyeshadow palette in Sugar Coated.

This is a quad palette, with a dark shimmery forest green, a really dense taupe, a light teal, and golden brown. These colors together make a great look.

One thing you can see in the swatch is that the pigmentation isn't great at all. I had to swipe each color 2 or 3 times in order to show up. In my swatches I didn't use a primer underneath, but even with a primer the pigmentation isn't great. This is really disappointing I love all the colors, you really need a good primer in order for the colors to show up.




The one reason I really like this palette is because you can create so many looks with it. I love how it has a golden brown color. You can pair the green and golden brown together, and blend in a little bit of the taupe and it creates a great look.

Over all when I saw this palette in the store, I absolutely fell in love with it. But when I came home and saw that the pigmentation wasn't great at all it was a big turn off.

                                            Hope you all enjoyed this post.

Zoya Color Your World In 2013

Hello Beauties,

Hope all of you are doing great. Who doesn't love deals? I know I do! Todays post is going to be about Zoya Color Your World in 2013. From January 7, 2013 to January 13, 2013 Zoya was running a deal which was Get 3 nail polishes for free just pay the shipping. Now you know I can't pass a deal like that and I love Zoya nail polishes. So I went ahead and placed an order, there was so much to pick from but I could only get 3. After looking at the colors I ended up getting Jules, Skylar and Kalmia. Such amazing colors. Let me give you a little more details about each color.

Jules: This shade is from the Intimate Collection, I adore this color. It is a pale champagne shade with dark gold flecks. It needs 2 coats and the shimmer is metallic and is the shade it self is really sparkly. In the sun this color looks amazing.

Skylar: From the Spring 2012 True Collection. Can't say enough about this shade! It is a purplish blue with silver shimmer. It also has some gold undertones when you look at it under the light.

Kalmia: From the Truth Collection, it is a red gold deep shade almost metallic. The only bad thing about this shade is that you can lightly see the brush strokes. But other than that the color pay out is amazing. This is a perfect color for fall!

Here are the swatches:
