"My Favorite" Night Balm...and My Least Favorite Nail Polish

OK so I have a mixed review today for you guys =) I hate writing negative or bad reviews on a product, so I figured I would combine it with a good product review. The two new items I bought - were Sally Hansen Insta-Dri nail polish in Petal Pusher, and CO Bigelow's My Favorite Night Balm.





This is the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polish. As you can see, it looks like crap. I applied 3 coats of this color - Petal Pusher - because it was very watery and sheer. Usually that would be fine, but it dried like THIS. Very uneven, bubbley and rough. I'm not sure why this happened, because I have another color of Insta-Dri polish that I actually LOVE. So maybe it was just this particular color that was bad. As you can see, it's BAD.







OK so now for the positive one, yay! I bought this night balm last week at Bath & Body Works, and it's fantastic. I've always kept a lip balm in my nightstand and try to apply it every night before bed. This balm is specifically for "night" so I wanted to give it a whirl. It's very thick, but not sticky at all. It's very moisturizing and seems to be repairing my lips nicely. No matter the season, my lips can get dry and cracked so I'm always on the hunt for a great lip balm.





Shiney and ready for bed yay! haha






Hope you guys had a great day today! xoxo

Lickity Split Lime

Bright!


<3



I love this! This is my first Sally Hansen Insta-Dri nail polish and I really like it. In a fit of rage, I ripped off all of my gel nails. One broke, so instead of just letting it be I took them all off, causing my nails to look like crap. To cover up the creases (even after I filed and buffed them they still have dents) I wanted an obnoxious nail polish as a distraction. My boyfriend's favorite color is green, so I wanted to do a neon/lime green polish - he loved it!

The Insta-Dri really does live up to its name - I have trouble not touching anything (texting, reading, etc) after I paint my nails, so a polish that dries fast is a must. It's weird having short nails again, but I think i'm going to give my nails a break and keep the gels off for a while.

You guys like the color? Does anyone else like Insta-Dri? Happy Makeup Monday! =)
