8ty8Beauty Supply



Okay....I am very happy to tell you guys about this site that offers nailpolishes for cheaper prices than any beauty supply store! I'm talking about the good brands: OPI, China Glaze, Orly, etc. I recently ordered some China Glaze nailpolishes from the site and I absolutely LOVE them. I am really into the matte colors right now so I got some cool blues, purples, and oranges. I almost like this brand better than the OPI for some reason. In my past experience, I have had this brand stay on longer than the OPI, and I think it might have something to do with it having nail hardeners in it (so that's great). The colors usually stay on me for two weeks and what I do to keep from chipping is use the Sally Hansen Hard As Nails top-coat every four days or so. This top-coat is AMAZING and is the best one I have yet to come in contact with; plus it was cheap and you can get it at any drugstore.




Anyway, I was really happy about the service of the company and the amount of time that it took to get to me. One thing to note about this place is that once you make your order, you must call them 24 hours later and tell them that you want your order to take priority (it does not cost you anything, it just lets them know to ship yours out sooner because they get a lot of orders in a day). Not only do they have nailpolishes, but they have any kind of nail tool, toe rings, decals, waxes, files, etc. for the beauty buff that wants to get a break in price.

Revelon Colorstay Mineral Mousse: A great buy!


I am not typically the one to go for a drugstore brand, but Revelon has come out with an AMAZING new line called the Colorstay Mineral Mousse. I tried it out and i must say that it is a great buy. The finish of the product makes your skin look very blended and almost satin-like (that sounds kind of wierd, but all i'm trying to say is that it looks amazing on your skin haha). It is great for long days with its longwear application, which is perfect for me because I am going to Vegas on Friday morning and it is HUUUUUMID out there! You do not need a lot of product to cover your face and the consistency is exactly what the bottle says...mousse. I must say that it covers any dark cirlcles that you may have very well in addition to having a satin finish. Mentioning the packaging, I think that it is great for Revelon to put a tamper-evident sticker on the outside of the bottle to make sure that nobody has used it prior.


Now i must say one thing about this product for all the people with dry skin: this product might not be for you because after i applied it to one of my friends that had more dry skin than I, you could see some dry patches in some areas. This product is great for combination/oily skin, especially in the summertime because it stays on all day and there is no need to reapply and have "cakeface." What i recommend if you have dry skin at times and you want to use this product is to make sure and exfoliate well before applying this and you will have a much more smooth finish. Overall, I think that this is one of the best new products out there now and I am sure that Revelon will continue to wow us with their new inventions.
