Playing Around With Polyvore

I never heard of this site until a few days back. They have contests running for prizes. I have always loved making collages. This is just a fun way to do them in a virtual environment. No glue or scissors needed. Everything is available, just one click away.

The last one in the second row was my first attempt. I used a template for that one, and just dropped and dragged the items into the windows. All the other ones, I created using various backgrounds and items to create the collages.

What do you think? Have you tried Polyvore?

Sugar Nails

I didn't know what to name this. 

I thought they looked like sugary nails.

These are the nails I used.

L-R:LA Colors white glitter, Borghese Patina Pearl, Sally Hansen Lavender Cloud, Kiss Nail Art Paint Pink Glitter & Gold Glitter, CG Boundless Color Ruby Dust

•  One coat of Lavender Cloud over the white tips.
• Three coats of Patina Pearl over Lavender Cloud tips.
• LA Colors white glitter from tip to mid-tip.
• CG Ruby Dust over nail bed to mid-tip (meeting edge of white glitter).
• Kiss Nail Art paint pink glitter at bottom of white tip.
• Kiss Nail Art paint gold glitter swipes on white tip.

• I used fimo slices of butterflies, ladybugs, dragonflies, and a few leaves.
• And added different colored rhinestones.

I got this hand-made bead ring from the balloon fiesta last month.

I like how they turned out. And they're fun for me to look at. :D

Hope you all have a good weekend!

Thanks for stopping by!

Target Cosmetic Bag with Samples

Awhile ago, nouveaucheap posted that Target was doing another samples giveaway. 

Luckily, I got in on this one. 

The cosmetic bag was filled with these samples:

• L'Oreal Youth Code (day/night cream)
• Pond's evening soothe with chamomile & white tea (5 wet cleansing towelettes)
• $20 worth of Target beauty coupons (these expire 11/15 so I'll have to boogie to use them.)
• Tresemme' Naturals
• Garnier Fructis
• John Frieda Full Repair

My daughter got the first Target Cosmetic Samples giveaway earlier this year.  Here they are in comparison. Not sure all that she got, but she said it was different than what I received.

Did you get any of these cosmetic bags with samples from Target?
