The Shimmer Me Box August 2017

Press Sample Tomorrow morning The Shimmer Me Box August 2017 is launching… and it’s a pretty freaking good one! The constant makers in the Shimmer Me Box are Colors by Llarowe, Tux Polish and Native War Paints. Each month will have a guest maker, and the August 2017 guest maker is Pam from Girly Bits Cosmetics! You’ve seen a lot of Pam’s creations on my blog over the years, so it was nice to see her involved in another box. The August 2017 Shimmer Me Box has a theme of Summer Vamp, so while last month was a lot of bright, warm shades – this month we’re dipping into deeper, vampilicious shades perfect for Fall (I know it’s August, but Fall will be here in a snap, so just brace yourself) Let’s take a look!

Press Sample It’s almost August 1st, so that means I have the Girly Bits August 2017 Color Of The Month Duo to share with you!

Girly Bits July 2017 Color Of The Month Duo

Press Sample It’s almost July 1st… so that means the Girly Bits July 2017 Color Of The Month Duo is almost ready to launch, and I have them to share now! This month we have 2 sparkly microglittery creations for you! Because June launched late, that duo is still available as well, so if you missed it, it’s not too late. Girly Bits is back on track for July though! Let’s jump into both shades! Sand Of A Beach Sand of a Beach is a champagne/light gold holographic and glitter mix, in a semi sheer base. I used 3 thin coats for these photos, but 2 medium to thick coats would work as well. I used a thick top coat for a smooth finish, but if you don’t have a thicker top coat, you might need to double up on top coat. Due to the base being fairly sheer, this can also…

Jeulia Interchangeable Round Cut Created Rainbow Topaz Skull Ring

Press Sample I have a fun little review for you all tonight! I had the opportunity to pick out a ring from Jeulia to share with everyone, and after looking through their enormous selection of high quality fashion jewelry for awhile, I settled on the Jeulia Interchangeable Round Cut Created Rainbow Topaz Skull Ring. I picked this out for a couple reasons, but the main one was the stone. I have an affinity for color shifting stones (and polish!) like this. Plus… skulls. I will say I had about 15 pieces initially picked and had to whittle it down to 1, and it took me about 2 or 3 days to do so. There were tons of fashion rings on there that had me oohing and ahhhing for awhile. This beauty won me over though. Jeulia Interchangeable Round Cut Created Rainbow Topaz Skull Ring is 5 carat total weight and the…

Girly Bits June 2017 Color Of The Month Duo

Press Sample It was in the 100’s today, but I spent the day swatching in air conditioning! My son spent the day with his father, so it was just me and Nick relaxing, watching Netflix, and working on projects! First up from my swatch session is the Girly Bits June 2017 Color Of The Month Duo! I’m kinda loving both of these shades, but the berry one is the one I have to say people need. It was my favorite – but of course you should grab both. If you grab them during the “early bird” period you get a small discount on them. The Early Bird special is good through June 25th. Let’s take a look! What The Hell Was I Thinking? What The Hell Was I Thinking? is a berry shade that has a pink to gold shift with silver holographic micro flakes mixed in. I used 2 coats…
