LEX Cosmetics

hey guys sorry its been a week since i have did a post. I just have been so busy lately its been unreal. but i have an exciting post today. this week i received 3 polishes from LEX Cosmetics. and man oh man did i love them. These Polishes are made by Alexa (the owner). and these polishes are great . they dry supper fast and are super pigmented. They are amazing!  sweet words could never express how i feel about her company. not only does she make great polishes, each polish has there own story and something about the color creator. and that's not all, Each of the polishes have a great charity/fund that a fraction of the money goes to that organization. So without further a due here are the polishes i got.


Aren't they just amazing!? 




Cayman Cabana

This color was made by the owner, Alexa.
" Cayman Cabana is breezy and bright, perfect for the summer days or as an escape from the cold winter nights. It's reminiscent of the colorful homes found in the Caribbean and Virgin Islands and happens to be the color of the gorgeous ocean down there. If you can't make it to the Caymans, this color can at least take your mind there. "
                    *With Cayman Cabana $1 will be donated to World Wildlife Fund *





Toast

This color was created by Kate
"I chose the name because it reminds me of what you're wearing when hanging in on a weekend with your boyfriend, watching movies and making breakfast in bed... hence 'Toast'!
I like it too because its casually elegant - perfect for everything from a job interview to a first date and it's great to compliment bright spring colors because it's neutral. "
When Toast is bought $1 will be donated to Habitat for Humanity


Wino

This color is created by Elisa
"The rich color of deep red is bold and beautiful like that of wine. We have recently seen many chic/trendy/urban women across big cities sporting this color. Strong, fun/flirty, confident women who enjoy a night out, dining, and of course, wine. I like to consider these ladies wino (s): women who love wine, love themselves, and love life. The color not only reflects the personality of wine, but also the personality of the woman that wears it. Bold, confident, and beautiful."
When Wino is purchased $1 will be donated to Children's Heart Federation


What Alexa id doing is just an amazing thing. You can help her help the organizations by puchasing some of her polishes and reading her messages. on her website you can also vote for the new upcoming color. You therefore, have your own say, which i think is great  (i voted for Keylime Margaritas) yay.... So head on over to lexcosmetics.com and take a look its so wonderful what Alexa is doing.

have a great day everyone  and stay happy and healthy♥,

BlogSale for Japan's Victims

i have added some new things to my blog sale the past couple of days. i decided to make all the money made from it, to go to the victims in Japan. What happened in Japan was horrible. When i first found out i was deeply concerned about my cousin who is stationed over there where it happened. but thankfully she was unharmed. but many families were broken and torn apart. So lets give back and so we care about them, even though we dont know them. So please help and buy something! i will be posting more things very soon!

NOTD (my mommy's nails)

so a couple of nights ago my mom asked me to do her nails. which was a so surprising because she does her own nails ( i guess thats where i get it from). so if course i said yes! (:  so i let her pick out what color she wanted, she demanded a pastel for spring. ( opi: rumples wiggin') and she wanted a cute konad flower in the corners.  so here is what her nails turned out like. i took the pictures a couple of days later so they arent as fresh looking  but still look nice (:








she loved them and thats all that mattered to me! it made he so happy when she went to work the next day and everyone was noticing her nails and asking her who did them.  she told me she was so proud to say her daughter♥

awwhh i love you mommy!
love,
liz
