This one smells amazing! Cinnamon apple but very lemony in a good way! MMMMMM.. best smell by far, theres sparkles (not too many/not as much as dragon's egg) it has yellow and blue swirls! It's amazing, takes very long to fizz out. By far a really cool new one and great experience! I can't get over the great smell on this one!

Polishes -OPI - Funky Dunkey
gabriellavascocastro 9/5/2010 10:52:00 PM
Such a nice bright purple that is dark enough to wear for fall and those times of the year but just a good color for ALL year because it's bright. It applies super well, it takes ONE coat and the color is flawless. I always put two just to make my nails thicker and less prone to breaking anyways though! I really can recommend this purple that is grape-y, the blue-ish undertones make it super wearable for pale gals like moi, but also for warmer gals that can pull off every shade. EDIT: as much as I loved this, I gave it to my bf's mother, she loves vampy shades and I don't use it so much!

Polishes -China Glaze - Blue Sparrow
gabriellavascocastro 9/5/2010 10:50:00 PM
GREAT color, awesome because it dries instantly but looks quite matte. Adding 2 generous top coats makes this color ridiculously good lookin' P! It's really bright and beautiful! Hard to remove, but so easy to apply because of the quick drying time.

Polishes -OPI - Pinking of you
gabriellavascocastro 9/5/2010 10:44:00 PM
Greaaaat for just glossy pinky nails. If you want the outfit to speak then this color is for you. NOT streaky at all. AT ALL. Rare for sheer shades. Great light-pink-non-nude-sheer-glossy nails! :P Hey it's an OPI, hyphens are necessary!

Polishes -China Glaze - lemon fizz
gabriellavascocastro 9/5/2010 10:37:00 PM
Goes on pretty well, nice and thin consistency. Great shade to bring out a tan.. yellow is hard to wear but I enjoy it because it isn't a mustard yellow nor a too greenish yellow! Great pastel! I was good with I think 2 coats.

Polishes -China Glaze - Purple Panic
gabriellavascocastro 9/5/2010 10:23:00 PM
SUCH a nice magenta! I feel like a rockstar with this shade on.. great for fair or deeper skin tones... a must have looks great..It dries kind of matte, so you then need a topcoat but once you do that it is SO NICE!!! I might even need a backup! And, the fact that it dries kind of matte makes it such a SPEEDY manicure!

Lip Gloss -Yves Saint Laurent - Gloss Pur #3 Pure Coral

I really dont understand why nobody tells you this before you buy Yves St-laurent glosses... I felt like I was going to get such a quality gloss for 40$.. FYI your not! By gel-like texture people mean it is liquid-y and doesnt distribute evenly the color.. the brush splays too much product gets in the cap but worst of all.. IT LASTS 10 minutes! I realllllyyyy love this color dont get me wrong the orange-ish shade is the perfect sheerness to make it wearable, the packaging is to die for.. just divine. I just wish somebody would put up the review that it doesnt last.. at all! I dont know why nobody else openly states how little the lasting power is. So if you dont put any lipstick underneath or if you dont put anything but lipgloss and hope it will last.. it will last about as much at 20 minutes.. and it smells amazing looks fantastic but theres no sticky feeling and you will need to reapply all day.

Treatments -LUSH - Marilyn Hair Moisturiser
gabriellavascocastro 7/20/2010 1:41:00 PM
I have been using the product for about.. a few months now! I can honestly say at first I saw nothing, and now I see LOTS of difference. I wouldn't use the whole thing on all my hair because I find it wasteful.. so I have made my own recipe.. I wet my own hair first(damp not soaking).. I don't think more product equals more result when using this... then I mix 2 tablespoons of this in a bowl with 1 tbsp of water and 1 tbsp of pure squeezed lemon juice. Then I mix it all over my hair! But I don't leave it in for 20 minutes but rather would leave in for 1 hour to 1.5 hours.. if I'm lazy then only 30 minutes.. but I only leave it in if I go outside! That's the trick!! You put it all over and go in the sun for 30 mins to 1.5 hrs! At first the results were subtle for my light brown hair but now my bf's parents say I am a blonde! If you are a blonde this might make your hair more yellow than a salon would so I would recommend perhaps a blue shampoo to remove brassiness! To tell you the truth, I find it really works in the sun! And, I would recommend it to anyone who goes in the sun just to lighten hair. It also makes hair SUPER soft, because it is a deep conditioner .. I probably wouldn't use it the same way if you just wanted a deep therapy for your hair. But it is now my HG hair lightener!

Scrubs -LUSH - Buffy the Backside Slayer
gabriellavascocastro 6/24/2010 3:28:00 PM
I llovvveee this, great for soft summer legs!!!! One of my must haves from Lush! To be honest, I don't love the smell but it's so faint it really doesn't matter because it won't drown out the smell of my perfume! It makes legs soft, smooth, moisturized (I have DRY legs) and scrubs dry skin.. well like a scratchy feeling but it grips well doesn't just slash around sugars, I'm not sure if it rids cellulite but either way it's great!

Polishes -OPI - Absolutely Alice [DISCONTINUED]
gabriellavascocastro 6/22/2010 1:59:00 PM
Beautiful! Crazy glitter but fine glitter rather than chunks. Opaque in 2-3 coats no bottom coat of a color needed. I feel like a mermaid when it is on my toes! Tryyyy it, it really is awesome in the sunlight, I have never loved such a cool blue glitter ever before it was always creme pastels before this one!

Polishes -OPI - Nailpolish in Pink-ing of You
gabriellavascocastro 6/22/2010 1:57:00 PM
This color is just.. so so. Nothing special, just something I needed to add to my collection! I needed a beige-pink nude nail color with no shimmer. I thought it might make my nails look almost jelly-like but it doesn't really. Needs 4 coats in my opinion.. at 1 and 2 coats it looks like clear polish. Very pink for a beige but I like it, although I enjoy other colors much more it is just a simple clear beige that I have added and I will need it on lazier days or when I really want to showcase an outfit not a nail!? Though it does last!

Conditioner -LUSH - American Cream
gabriellavascocastro 6/17/2010 11:14:00 AM
I love this stuff it smells AMAZING, it's conditioning, it doesn't cause buildup with conjunction to the blonde by lush. It's perfect for bouncy shiny hair that smells good. I really like that this smell goes well with the smell of my shampoo and they can make my hair smell and look amazing. I love using the blonde shampoo to make my hair baby soft like when I used to NOT kill my hair with straightening blow drying anddd coloring (which I haven't for one whole year so it's been growing out!!:) yay) so this stuff is awesome to use with the blonde shampoo because it doesn't add a bunch of residue or make my hair fall out like some companies have been rumored to do lately. It is conditioning and smells great! Try it out! UH OH: edit;; I don't love it now.. not moisturizing enough.. better for not damaged hair! It left my hair begging for more.. but my hair is in need of intense damage repair!!!.. it is in the process of growing out:P ..

Bronzers -Maybelline - Maybelline Bronzer - SunLight
gabriellavascocastro 6/14/2010 2:41:00 PM
This is a verrryyy light bronzer but it didn't make me completely different from the rest of my body which i really liked. Its more subtle and believable! I will use this on days where i wear strapless shirts etc to look more natural. It's definitely not HOOLA but I like this as a cheaper alternative.
