New Years Makeup Tutorial! Silver Bells!

Watch the YouTube Video HERE

Happy New Year Everyone!!
I hope you all enjoy this makeup tutorial I put together using my new Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette! I was so excited to try out some looks with this and I love how it can be used for everyday wear into a NYE 'night out on the town' look. I also mention a drugstore substitute for those of you who don't have the Naked 2 Palette. I chose the Wet n' Wild Trio "Don't Steal My Thunder", but you can obviously use any other palette you have that contains a light silver and darker silver/black. I really wish I had some loose cosmetic glitter like THIS one in Silver from NYX to use. I have seen so many tutorials for the holidays and it looks so amazing! I just don't happen to have any for now, but I will do another tutorial (maybe a Valentine's Day look) when I get some. Feel free to also use false lashes to jazz up this look. I usually don't use them as I can't seem to find any that are comfortable enough to wear all night. If you have any suggestions please comment below!!

Thanks so much for watching and reading! I hope you all have a fun and safe New Year. Please head over to my facebook page or twitter and post pics of your NYE looks!! Knowing me, I probably will be in bed before 10pm and won't even get a chance to use this look :p I am dying to see what you guys come up with!!

Here is also another video on a recent haul including the Naked 2 palette and I show it next to the Naked 1 palette in case you're interested :) Click HERE to see the video!


Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hugs & Love,
 Amanda

ELF Nail Polish Trial: Old $1 vs New & Improved $2

Hi Everyone!
Since ELF stopped making their $1 Nail Polish and revamped it and are now charging $2, I decided to do a comparison and see if the reformulated version is any better. The funny thing is how pissed off people are that they increased it to a whole $2!! LOL. Anyways, I tried a color on when I first got them, but it was a nude color so I couldn't really tell how it was holding up. I was/am in the middle of a move and unpacking so I thought this would be a good time to test it out. I have put the old version on my left hand and the new and improved version on my right hand. I picked out the color "Dark Navy" because it is most definitely my choice color for Fall/Winter instead of my normal Eggplant or Black. I will be writing about how this works out over the course of 4-5 days of heavy damage potential.

At first thought: The first application I could already tell that the old formula needed 2 coats to be wearable. The new formula did a great job at covering in just 1 coat! You can see in these pics after 1 coat of each (Please forgive my nails as they have been totally thrashed from my move!!:

Here are the 2 side by side

DAY 1
Left Hand (Old Formula) with 1 coat:


 Right Hand (New Formula) with 1 coat:


 Left Hand after 2 coats:


Right hand after 2 coats


 I topped them both off with the ELF clear polish

DAY 2
They are both holding up equally well and there is no chipping. I have been unpacking boxes and washing my hands frequently today. I also have 2 young kids so I'm not exactly nice to my nails!!

DAY 3
Ah Ha! There is chipping on my left hand (the old formula) and nothing on my right hand. This is proving to be positive for the new formulated version!

DAY 4-5
I have to admit, I have been really hard on my nails the last day or two! I was packing, unpacking, cleaning and getting dirty! I noticed that the old formula did break down sooner than the new formula and had I not been so hard on them I think the new formula would have performed better anyways.  In the end they both looked pretty bad because of what I put them through. I may do another test of my every day usage and what "normal" people put their nails through :p
At any rate...
Below is my left hand (the old formula) You can see major chipping although my nails were trashed all together :p

Here is my right hand below with the new formula. My right hand is also my dominant hand so I thought it would have gone quicker just due to that fact, although it appears to have withstood the damage I did to it better than the old formula did.

Bottom Line...
This blog and test took a lot longer and more effort than I expected (lol)!! But since they doubled their price from $1 to $2, I wanted to give other Elfettes the peace of mind that it is in fact a better formula nail polish and worth the money :) I, however, was able to score a bunch of polishes during the cyber monday sale (50% off) and ended up getting it for the old price anyways!! I still would pay the full $2 because I notice that many colors go out of stock quickly and they no longer offer the old versions on the website anymore (besides some nail polish kits they have left over). If you change your nail polish weekly and aren't as crazy hard on them like I was, then this may not make a huge difference to you. I am happy with the new version and am glad ELF upped their game with these and actually gave what they said...a New & Improved Formula!! Great job ELF!

I hope you guys enjoyed this testing and blog post. Also, I am in no way paid by ELF for this review and these are my honest beliefs (as always). I appreciate ELF's amazing prices and I think their quality is only getting better which is making them pretty untouchable in my eyes.
ELF is still my #1 go to cosmetic company on the web!!

You can check out these nail polishes
They have 36 color choices and I'm sure growing!!

Let me know what you think about this blog post or if you'd like to see more "tests" of any ELF products!! Comment below, I would love to hear all your ideas :)


Thanks again & Lots of Hugs,
 Amanda
