Milani Jewel FX Nail Polish in Gem - Dupe!


Remember when Milani came out with their Jewel Fx line last year?  Yeah, I never jumped on the bandwagon.  Regretfully I am now just catching up with what I missed - and I would rather do this at an understandable price.  So, I found this unnamed nail polish at Rue 21 the other week (Why do they not name their polishes?!?!!?) and it looks just like the Milani Fx nail polish in gem which I used a multitude of times before.  What do you guys think?

Rue 21 Beaute! Nail Polish Review (Shade 28)

     So the other day I went to Rue 21 to spend some of my Christmas gift card and right when I was about to check out - I saw this tray full of a variety of various beautiful nail polishes   Then, I looked down and saw that it was only two for five dollars (the usual price being $4 each) so I gave in to my ever growing obsession of collecting nail polish that I tend to not use.  *sigh*

     Lately I've been adoring the elegant style of the women of the 1920's and 1950's.  I know they usually wore red nail polish but guys I am so red-nail-polished-out from the popularity of it when I was elementary school that I didn't have the nerve to repress these memories.
     Please excuse my sloppiness!  This nail polish was surprisingly beautiful!  It is so natural looking yet it is not flesh colored or completely transparent.  In the light it has a lilac coloring with sand brown undertones.  I really want to paint my room this color now.  So if anyone is around my skin tone (Mac NC45) and want an elegant slightly nude daily nail polish - this is it!  I only applied one coat of it and it went on soooooooo smoothly! It dried quickly as well.  So far no chipping and it is pretty opaque for just one coat.  I will definitely be buying more of their nail polishes again :)

Besos
And would it seriously kill them to name their polishes?!!?! Gahhh!!!

Maybelline Dream Fresh 8 in 1 BB Cream Review in Caramel

     So this post is covering my experience of using the Maybelline Dream Fresh 8 in 1 BB Cream in Caramel.  I got it from Walmart for about $8 or $9 i think?  

And it is great however it is not for me.  This is a BB cream which means that it is a tinted moisturizer except with skin healing properties which it most likely doesn't have considering the price.  It is a good product if you want little to no coverage and you are headed to the beach or something like that.  It doesn't rub off easily, however where me and the product did not see eye to eye with is the fact that it had no sort of concealing properties at all.  That was my only problem because without concealer I look sleepy! haha.  Here I added the video I made reviewing the product on Youtube.
