V-Day Talons

My top 7 Valentine's-themed nail art designs. 

I'm not one to get super mushy about Valentine's Day. Well, not mushier than I usually get on a day to day basis. But I do enjoy hearts and flowers and candy and pinks and reds and anything that gets my man to suggest dinner out somewhere is okay in my book ;) To view the original posts and tutorials, visit my pinterest board ♥

Tainted Love

My favorite fragrance find of the past year has been Tainted Love No. 62 from Tokyomilk and its notes of dark vanilla bean, orchid, white tea, and sandalwood. So perfect for cozy candlelit dinners or taking a walk in the rain.

Kiss + Makeup: Sinful Colors Lip Shine

I wouldn't consider myself a makeup connoisseur, but having started my making up around age thirteen (with clear mascara and white eyeliner, wtf?) I have tried my share of products. It wasn't until my twenties that I was able to afford trying higher end products, of which I have a few hardcore favorites, but I still love the harmless fun of spending a few dollars at the drugstore to add a new lipstick or nail polish color to the collection. While picking up some necessities at Walgreens, some lollipop-hued sticks caught my eye, as did the $2 price sticker. Sinful Colors latest line of Lip Shine is amazing quality for a drugstore product; most glosses I would describe with words like gloppy, gooey, sticky, or stinky. But not m'new fave!
