Origami Owl Review

Happy Sunday. I've been sucking more than normal lately, for that I apologize. I'm currently looking for a new job and I've had some deaths in the family this week. Let's just say I'm looking forward to next week! Today I have something a little different for ya. I'm sure you've heard of Origami Owl, but have you tried them yet? This is my 1st experience with them and let's just say it won't be my last! I was so exited by receiving these pieces, that I didn't think to take any pics of the presentation and the cute little boxes that they come in. I was like a kid in a candy store when my mailman came! Let's get started!
I saw that Origami Owl came out with a charm that said Love You More. My husband and I say that multiple times a day, so I knew I had to have that one. I also chose a J as well as a K. One of the things I love most about Origami Owl is how versatile everything is! It doesn't matter if you wear jeans and a t-shirt everyday or a suit for work, they have something that will work for everyone! Let's look at the pictures.


For my chain, I chose a 24in silver curb chain. It has a very secure clasp since it used a lobster claw clasp. It also has an extender on it so that you can find the length that works best for you. 




I enjoy that the rings on the charms are large enough that you can easily switch between different Origami Owl chains. They offer several different colors as well as lengths. I wear this necklace each and everyday for work. It has become my staple piece of jewelry. Another thing that I think is awesome, is the prices for Origami Owl pieces are VERY affordable! So you aren't going to break the bank treating yourself or picking up gifts for the holidays.

Above The Curve Glow In The Dark Collection

Happy hump day!! Hope you've had a good beginning of the week so far. Today I have for you 3 polishes from Above The Curve. If you've been reading my posts from the get go, you know that I have a huge thing for glow in the dark polishes. So when I saw that Above The Curve was coming out with some, I knew I had to get them. They didn't disappoint at all! Let's get started!
I'll start out with It's Electric. It's Electric is a bright neon purple that is full of bright blue flecks. As if that wasn't enough, it also has just a hint of holo. This as well as the other 2 dry matte, so if you want it shiny, make sure that you put a good top coat over top of it.


For my mani I used 4 coats of It's Electric and topped it with just 1 coat of Ellagee Glass Topcoat. The formula on all of these was excellent to work with and they are also fast drying as well.




Next I'd like to show you Lite Brite. Lite Brite is a light orange that also has a hint of holo. I like that this is a softer orange and not a super bright in your face orange. I think that will make it easier for people to wear year round. 


For my mani I used 4 coats of Lite Brite and also topped it with 1 coat of Ellagee Glass Topcoat. 




Lastly, I have Glow With The Flow to show you. Glow With The Flow is a bright pink glow in the dark polish that like the others have a hint of holo in it. 


For my mani I used 3 coats of Glow With The Flow and topped it with 1 coat of my Ellagee Glass Topcoat. As I listed above, the formula as well as the dry time on this was superb! 




If you haven't purchased any of Above The Curve's polishes, what are you waiting for?! They always have some sort of fun going on at their Facebook page. They donate $1 for EACH bottle of polish they sell to Shriners Hospitals for Children. So not only do you get some new polish, you are also helping out a good cause. You can purchase Above The Curve polishes on their etsy or their big cartel  site. With Halloween right around the corner, how awesome would these glow in the dark polishes be with some sort of nail art over top?! You can purchase these as a set of mini for only $12 or a full size for just $23. That wraps it up for tonight. I hope you all have a good rest of your week. Until next time, take care!! XOXO

365 Days of Color Lip Balm

Hello there. I want to apologize for the long silence here lately. I have spent the last month moving and this past week I was in the hospital for some serious medical issues. Hopefully I still have a few of you out there. It has been cooling off quite nicely here where I am. Makes me super excited for Fall to come. I was given the opportunity to review a new line for Sunny, and I couldn't have been happier when I found out it was lip balm! I almost have as much lip balm as I do polish.
I was sent Chocolate Mint to test out and it smelled almost good enough to eat! I always apply my lip balm before I go to bed, it is just a habit I have. I was pleasantly surprised that when I got up the next morning, my Chocolate Mint was still on there! It applies like butter and it isn't sticky at all.


As you can see in my picture above, she lists all the ingredients on the back of the lip balm so it makes it nice and easy to read. 


I think one of the best things about getting a lip balm from 365 Days of Color are she currently has over 41 different flavors!!! Even your local beauty supply store doesn't have that many!! This will be in my pocket of my jeans at all time this winter. Sunny is also coming out with a Halloween Box tomorrow Sept. 15th for just $22 plus shipping. You will be able to grab yours between 9-10am pst. You can find Sunny on Facebook and your can purchase any of her body products in her Storenvy. I've been using her cuticle oil for over 2 years and I never leave home without it. If you can, seriously give her Halloween Box a try. You get lip balm, cuticle balm, hand cream, hand scrub, cuticle oil and her amazing intensive cuticle oil. Stop by her Facebook page and there you can find all the scent info she has listed on her page. 
That's all I have tonight. I'm headed to the couch to rest for the remainder of the evening. I hope you all have a great start to your week. Until next time, take care!! XOXO
