Package from Michelle :)

 Hooray, a blog post! Just a warning though, the next 2 weeks are going to be crazy because 5 of my college apps are due...so I'm trying to write all of my essays and fill out the forms as fast as possible! Oh, and I apologize for the quality of the photos that you're about to see....I took them at night :P

I won Michelle's giveaway (check out her fantastic blog here) and somewhat recently received the prize. I was so excited to receive the package as it was coming from Australia! I'm super in love with the country (and the people...and the accents...and the food...and the stores....need I go on?) and so it just added to my overall excitement :P

Michelle was so kind! She sent a box of Beautysnapz Cuticle Conditioners, along with a bag of Aussie sweets :) I am a bit ashamed to say that the first reaction to seeing the bag of candy was ripping it up and eating a strawberry-flavored chewy right away xD Sooo good! And there is a great variety of flavors- strawberry, raspberry, lemon, orange, and blackcurrant ._.

The concept of this is so cool. I'll post a review of these soon, but in the meantime, check out Michelle's review here.

I truly love receiving packages <3 Once I get a job, I want to send out a bunch of care packages/surprise gifts. As for now, I'm just broke -____- Hopefully once I finish my college apps, I will be able to focus on getting a job! *crosses fingers*

Package from Jane :)

Today I received a package in the mail from Jane (of Jun3Bugs) :) I recently participated in her Junk Food Game (it was really creative!) and was 1 of the bloggers won won a prize. Needless to say, I was very excited to see the package sitting in my mailbox today :P

^ Ummm I'm paranoid about putting up "too much info" on the internet so I went a little crazy with Photoshop...haha :P

Funny story- I don't give out my last name over the internet (I'm super big on privacy haha) so I emailed Jane and told her that she can send the package to "Jessica Jessica" or think of something creative! So I literally laughed out loud when I saw that she sent it to "Jessica the Great" :P

Inner packaging....super cute bear!

I love handwritten notes :) (P.S. Jane, I don't mind that it's not essie nail polish! I love everything you sent me :D)

The goodies! I was so excited when I pulled everything out!

One of the things Jane sent me was The Face Shop Pearl Essential Mask Sheet...I've read great things about this mask so I can't wait to try it :)

Cute mini notebook

LOVE the color of this nail polish...it's a really pretty red.

Eyeliner and an eyeshadow palette...the eyeshadows look so pretty! You can't really tell from the pictures, but some of them are shimmery and yeah....they're just really pretty :)

Thank you Jane! I loved everything that you sent me~! I'll put up reviews of the products in the (near) future :)

Revlon Crazy Shine Nail Buffer Review

 I recently posted that I won Mallory's giveaway. I received the Revlon Crazy Shine Nail Buffer and wanted to share a review of it :)

 Product Name: Revlon Crazy Shine Nail Buffer

Price: $3.49 (I received this item for free via a giveaway)

What It Claims: "Now you can get a topcoat shine in seconds with this nail buffer from Revlon. Suitable for bare or polished nails, the teardrop-shape buffer is compact in size and easy to control. It produces a shine that lasts up to three days. "

Ingredients: N/A

Packaging: Comes in the basic cardboard/plastic packaging

Contents: A teardrop-shaped nail buffer featuring a green side and a white side

How to use it: The green side smooths and even outs the nail surface while the white side polishes the nail. So far, I've only used it on my natural nails- however, the product claims that you can use it even if you are wearing nail polish!

Pros:
1. Results in ridiculously shiny nails!: After spending less than 2 minutes, all 10 of my nails were super shiny. They looked as if I painted a clear topcoat over them! My mom saw my nails and even asked me if she could borrow the nail buffer :) This product really works!
2. Easy to use: There are only 2 steps involved in the whole process, whereas most nail buffers have 4-6 steps. I have a 6 step nail buffer, and it just can't compare to the Crazy Shine...the Crazy Shine is so much faster to use, and it results in much shinier nails.
3. Travel-sized: It's about the size of my palms, so while it's not miniature it's certainly not bulky. I can just toss this into my purse and go out, knowing that I will always have shiny nails no matter what :P

Cons:
1. The longevity:  I am not 100% sure about this, but it seems as if the surfaces are sort of thin. Meaning, they may not last for a long time (2 years and up), especially if you use it on a daily basis.

Overall: I give it a 10/10.  I truly love this nail buffer! It seriously looks like I applied a clear topcoat onto my nails- it's that shiny. It also works so much better than my 6-sided nail buffer. Ultimately, this nail buffer did and is everything it claims to be/do! I highly recommend purchasing this! :)

**Even though I received this item via a giveaway, I express and will always express my honest opinion!**
