Life Changing Beauty Product??

SHU UEMURA Art of Hair Essence Absolue Nourishing Protective Oil

A friend of mine brought this product to my attention.  She forwarded this article to me from Birchbox.  You can also buy it on Amazon.  I have to say, the girl that wrote the article is pretty dang convincing.  I have NEVER spent this much on a beauty product...EVER!!! 

So my question is....have any of you tried this product?  What did you think...Love?  Hate?  What is the most you've ever spent on a beauty product and what was it??  Maybe we can all go in together and separate it in smaller bottles....that way we could all afford it! :)

One more day left to enter my Scentsy bar giveaway!!!

I'm also linking up with Tara over at Fabulous but Evil for her Nail Files Linkup.



Sinful: POPARAZZI

 You may be wondering WTF when you look at this picture!  On my trip to Alabama, I was in WalGreens with my 3 year old niece, Addy.  She saw this nail polish and yelled as loud as she could "Oh Aunt Kari, this nail polish is BEAUTIFUL!!!"  So what did Aunt Kari do??  Bought it for her, of course!! 

My 6 year old niece, Lili, just HAD to paint my nails that night.  See her painting them here.  She was oh so excited!  They were globby, thick, and not so neat!!  But she thought they were just gorgeous!!!  So I let them dry and tried my best to get the polish off of skin around my nail.  Almost a week later, I am STILL wearing this polish!  It has chipped off and doesn't look quite as gorgeous now.  Lazy?  Yep.  Don't judge!

Seeing all of these Nail Files posts make me want to join Julep again!  They have some AMAZING colors!!

Nail Files and a Giveaway

Today I'm linking up with Tara and Vicki  for their fabulous linkup party, The Nail Files. Essie : Turquoise and Caicos Julep : Ivy Annnnd...I'm doing something a little special for my readers today - a nail polish giveaway!!  I am admittedly copying Christina over at Easily Entertained .  :) She recently did a nail polish giveaway (that I missed out on..boo) and I thought what a GREAT way to get rid of some of my overflowing collection of polishes!!! You will win 8 bottles of nail polish including brands: OPI, CHI, Ulta, Avon, 2 Glitter Pots from Julep, and an Ulta Lipgloss! I apologize for the lighting - I will try to get a better picture and upload it. All of these polishes are slightly used (maybe 2 or 3 times) except for the CHI brand and the green Ulta one - those have never been used.  The glitter pots and the lipgloss are also brand spankin' new. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Loving Lately: My Discovery of MAC Cosmetics

I am 29 years young and I have JUST discovered MAC.  Yes, it's true.  I have apparently been living under a rock.  In a bubble.  Something!!  I ran out of foundation this weekend and decided to give it a try.  And O.M.G. I am so glad I did.  Ok - here are my face issues... 1. Oily Eyelids - eyeshadow creases within an hour...not fun. 2. Oily Face - makeup disappears and the shine is outta control...not fun either!! 3. Acne Scars - the dark spot kind...ugh!  4. Acne - why do I have acne at 29???  It just isn't fair to have to use acne treatment AND an anti-aging cream!!  I went to the MAC counter with absolutely no makeup on whatsoever....I was not lookin' pretty!  They were having a special event to market their "after hours" collection  and there was a model there with her husband who is apparently a famous NBA basketball player from the LA Clippers.  I guess I should've gotten a picture bu...

TRIA Hair Removal Laser

Ok...I'm just going to jump right into this.  Let's talk about hair.  I'm not talking about the hair on your head that you want people to see and love.  I'm talking about the unwanted hair that you loathe and want noone to see!  Embarrassing subject?  Yep!!  I have a medical condition called PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) that has many, many side effects that makes it extremely difficult to get preggers but that's another subject we won't get into right now.  One of the most annoying effects being facial hair!!  There, I said it.  Since high school I've had to deal with this embarrassing situation.  Back then, I hated it and I would cry because I thought I was the only one dealing with this.  Now that I'm older (and wiser), I can laugh about it.  And the more I talk to people about it, the more I realize women everywhere are dealing with this "lady with the beard" issue.  I seriously could join a circus, people....
