Nail of The Day: Mint/Sea Foam Green!

Today I had a girls day and got my nails done! I absolutely love how it looks :) I love seeing the colors that other people wear on their nails because all the colors are so different and give me so much inspiration! Here is my mint/sea foam green nail look:

This is a close up of the detailing on the right hand corner on my nail. There are flowy, breezy, swooshes coming across from the right hand corner. There is also a glitter topcoat only on top of the black and white lines.

 This color is a mint/sea foam green color. I know that it is by OPI but the sticker that read the name was taken off--- sorry! If anyone recognizes it, please write it in a comment below!

Hope you enjoyed this Nail of The Day! I love this nail color and design! Try something similar and tell me how it works! If you know the name of this OPI color, please comment it below! Thanks-- enjoy <3

Gladiator Sandals :)

For summer, I love wearing gladiator sandals. They're more dressy that flip flops, but more casual than heels or flats. They come in so many, colors, styles, and designs! Here are three that I love:

 This pair i got recently for my birthday. I love the black color and the simple straps. The fun, tribal beading is bright and goes with basically all the colors. Tribal print is also a trend, and I think these are so adorable! 

(Forever 21)

This pair has a tan base and white detailing! I love the ruffles. They are girly and flirty. They are also a little more dressy. These are really nice for summer!

(Madden Girl)  

This pair is the one that is the most different. It has a little wedge, and zippers up on the back. It has the weave detailing up the foot and then the beige straps on the sides. These are really nice and they're neutral so they go with everything! I love this boho shoe! 

(Forever 21)

I love gladiator sandals for summer and I hope you found this helpful :) I have been pretty busy but I'll try to post everyday or every other day! Enjoy <3 Charlotte XO

LashBlast Fusion Mascara Review!

I know that this mascara has received so many great reviews but I wanted to give my thoughts for those who are interested! I absolutely loved this mascara! There was no clumps, I loved the wand and the packaging is really nice. Your lashes are not clumping, and end up long and luscious! :)

This picture is of when i got the mascara for my recent birthday. (http://islandbeauty33.blogspot.com/2011/07/birthday-haul.html)

The packaging is really nice and the wand is amazing! The wand is really wide, which i haven't seen before. The bristles have no clumps and lengthen and adds volume to your lashes so well(: It is also waterproof which is great for summer! I wore this the whole day while swimming in a lake and my mascara did not smear or run the whole day! This was also really nice because not only did it not melt off, but when i was in the water, the mascara remained waterproof while keeping the lashes full and lengthened!

I hope you enjoyed this review. I have been super busy because of family visiting. In a couple of days I'll get back to writing a post daily. Enjoy<3 XOXO

Nail of the Day: Tangerine and Glitter :)

I usually change my nails during the summer every 4-5 days. I usually get tired of the color and want to try something different. I went for a tangerine/orange color! I absolutely love this-- it is going to be the color of the summer! I also went with a unique way to color block (which is also a trend). On my ring finger, i added a glitter topcoat! Hope you enjoy!

My hand with these really pretty yellow flowers!

Up close!--- my ring (glitter) finger is in the shade Starry Silver Glitter by NYC! 

My hand! The tangerine color is in the shade Times Square Tangerine Creme by NYC!

Another shot of my hands with these gorgeous flowers!

I used the topcoat in 271A by NYC! Hope you enjoyed and look out for a gladiator sandals fashion post soon! :)

Birthday Haul! :)

My birthday was on July 3... yayyyy!! :) This is all the items I received for my birthday! Just a disclaimer, these things were all given to me as gifts, but I am very thankful and blessed for everything :)

I had asked for belts, because I nearly had any! This one is super adorable for summer, with the light beige color and the crochet detailing!  (Forever 21)

This is the close up on the beading of the pair of gladiator sandals that I got! I love the tribal print and fun colors! (Forever 21)

This is another belt I got in black. I like this because it is made for your waist, which I don't have a belt for.  (Forever 21)

This brown belt is really nice especially for school, but it does have the edgy metallic studs.  (Forever 21)

I really needed this facial scrub. I like how it is made to treat shine control. Even though I have normal skin, I can get a little shiny. (Neutrogena)

I really wanted this. I have heard so many great reviews and it is even considered a dupe for NARS Laguna bronzer.  (ELF)

I have heard so many great reviews on Lash Blast! I finally got it! And it's in waterproof, which is great for summer! (Covergirl)

I really needed this makeup remover because I ran out (:  (Neutrogena)

This was just a fun movie given to me, and it's really good!  (Defiantly Maybe, Target)

 This is my first crackle polish, and I am so excited to use it! I might do a review on this if you want:) (Sally Hansen, Walgreens) 

This is my second pair of gladiator sandals that I got. I love these! I usually don't like how this type looks, but these are adorable! The nude color is so cute too:) Look out for a post on gladiator sandals for summer!  (Forever 21)

I really haven't found that many shorts for summer, so getting this adorable, comfy, coral pair was amazing! (Target)

I really needed this powder brush because I was not using a proper one that would set my makeup correctly! (ELF)

 Selena Gomez is so gorgeous, and I loved her in her new movie, Monte Carlo! This was nice, because I hadn't listened to most of the other songs on this album. I am also going to her concert in the fall so I'll use this so memorize some songs, so that i can sing along during the concert. (Target)

 Like I said with the facial wash, these will be really helpful for shine control. And they're 50 wipes for $1!!! (ELF)

 These are just some really helpful sponges! (Sonia Kashuk)

 This is an adorable coral and beige striped shirt, it's form fitting and it looks great on! This is from Ann Taylor Loft!

 I really wanted to try this Tinted Moisturizer from ELF! We'll see how it works! (ELF)

 The next couple of pictures will show a set of three earrings i got! These are so adorable and wearable for all year round! This spells LOVE! (Target)

 Sparkly Stars! (Target)

Faux Pearls! (Target)

 This is the full picture of this tribal gladiator sandal. I'm in the middle of creating a tribal print post, so this will add to the look! Look out for that :) (Forever 21)

I am so thankful to all my family for these wonderful gifts! I will try these out, and hopefully get some reviews up! Hope you enjoy, and look out for further posts!! :)
