Sally Hansen Gel Nail Polish Review:

First things first, I have to tell you that I'm a nail bitter.  I'm currently working on that.  And at the time of these pictures, I didn't really care about how my nails looked, so they're not the best looking nails.  The second thing I need to tell you is that I'm terrible at painting my nails.  I'm always cleaning up after myself, which leads me to never painting my nails, which leads to me never getting better at it.  

This nail polish is supposed to last 14 days.  It didn't for me.  Now, you're probably thinking, well that's because you bite your nails.  But since I knew I was trying to get an acurate review, I kept my fingers away.  First it started at the corners, and then the next thing I know the whole tip is completely gone.  The polish catches on things which makes it worse.  For me it lasted four days. But to be nice, that is probably longer than normal nail polish. 

I was planning on doing more experiments with the gel, but I just haven't really wanted to.  Like I said earlier, I don't paint my nails often.  But while I was reading online, some people have said to put top coat on every few days, I didn't do that.  Then I was wondering if I could use it with a different brand of nail polish, and according to someone online, you can as long as the other nail polish is 100% dry.  

To get a duo match, a color and the top coat, it costs around $15 from Target.  

Pros: Nice colors 

Cons: Didn't work for me, price

Did you have better luck with these? Let me know!

Wet n' Wild Cherry Frost Lipstick Review:

When I first tried Wet n' Wild lipsticks, I didn't care for them.  I found them to be messy and easy to mess up, but now I really like them.  I have four from from the long lasting line, and I have two from this line (but I can't find its name anywhere...).  Cherry Frost was my first from this line. (What's up Doc? was my second!) 

When I was looking at this lipstick in the store, all I saw was red, but it actually has little gold sparkles.  They're not big enough to see on the lip unless you're really, really, close to the lips. (And let's face it, no one should be that close to your face.)  I can't even get them to show up on camera.  But,  just know that they are there.  I also didn't know if this was going to be a matte lipstick, creamy lipstick, or high shine.  It's a creamy lipstick with shine to it.  Feels creamy, but has glitter in it to make it shimmery.  It's also long lasting.  I wouldn't eat with it, or else it will be all over your face.  (It's always all over mine.)  I can drink with it, but after sipping from a bottle for 2 and a half hours, I always need a top off.  But without eating and drinking it lasts on me for three hours before I feel as if it's too faded.   It doesn't stain at all and it's really, really, easy to remove.  This lipstick is also the first lipstick I have ever gotten on my teeth. 

I've had this lipstick for a while now, and I've only used it a few times. It's not that it's bad, I just like others better. If I'm going towards a Wet n' Wild lipstick, I'll pick "What's up Doc?"  I really love that shade.  I'll probably start leaning towards it again when I have more clothing options to pair it with. 

Pros: Price! 99 cents!!, staying power, feel 

Cons: Gold glitter. 

Have you tried any of these?  Let me know your favorite shade!

Recipe: Lemon Butter Baked Cod

The other day, my mom asked me to find a recipe for Cod, and I found a few on Pinterest for her to pick from, and she chose this one, and it was a really good choice!  This dish was so good and buttery, but hardly any calories!  It's definitely going to be made again!  Plus it was so easy to make and clean up was a breeze.  There is nothing better than an easy dish with easy clean up.  Loved it! 

Ingredients: 

2 lb cod fillets 

1/4 c butter 

2 Tbsp Lemon Juice 

1/4 c all purpose flour 

salt and pepper 

dash of paprika 

Directions:

Cut the fillets into serving sizes. (Mine were pre-cut.)  Melt the butter in a sauce pan, and add the lemon juice to melted butter. 

In another dish, mix together the flour, salt, and pepper.

Set up a little assembly line.  (If you'd like, I think it makes things easier.)

 Then dip the fish into the butter lemon mix, coating well on all sides.

After they're coated with butter, dip the fillets into the flour, also coating well on all sides.

Place the fillet with the side that had the skin on it down, and repeat until you run out of fillets. 

Places the coated fillets into an non-greased baking dish, drizzle the remaining butter mix on top, and sprinkle with paprika.

Bake uncovered, at 350, for 25-30 minutes.  

Enjoy!

Milani Fierce Foil Eyeliner Review:

I have had this eyeliner for some time now.  I'm pretty sure this was part of my birthday present, which I bought about a month and a half after my birthday...So, I've had this eyeliner at least since the start of the summer.  When I first picked it up, I didn't notice that it was supposed to have gold bits in it.  If I had, I don't know if I would have purchased it.  I like glitter all over my body, but when it comes to my eyes, I try to stay away from it.  (Odd I know.) I finally noticed the gold speckles, and that it's called a foil eyeliner, when I was taking the pictures.  I know, so smart.  I thought it was pretty, I just didn't know if it was for me, turns out, it is.  I love this eyeliner, and it's my go to nowadays.  

When I use this eyeliner it comes off as a blackish gray with a little tiny bit of gold to it.  But, the gold is really hard to see.  I've tried using the brush that came with it, but it doesn't work with how I apply eyeliner, and it's a little to small for how I hold my brushes usually.  No biggie.  This eyeliner has a really smooth application to it, which isn't surprising.  It's amazing.  When I wear this eyeliner I put it on at 7am and I don't take it off until 9:30 to pm.  So, I can officially say that this eyeliner has some really nice staying power.  It doesn't smear either.  

Now, it's not very bold.  You can tell I'm wearing it, but it looks more like I smeared it out after applying.  So if you're going for a bold look, I don't think this is the best.  I've never tried to build it up, so I can't say much on the build up.  I like the same look over and over, and huge bold wings aren't me.  (Truthfully, I don't have the patience.)  

I bought this at my local CVS, and I paid around $8 for it.  That's a pretty good price!  

Pros: Staying power, smooth, nice color, price

Cons: I haven't found any. 

What is your favorite Milani product?  Let me know and maybe I'll try it out!
