Garnier Fructis Damage Eraser
When I got my sample kit I was'nt going to use it because there was no ingredient list or anything. I knew it was from Loreal but with my allergies I decided to wait. Slowly I saw others using it so I gave it a go!
I can honestly say I may not have cut off my shoulder length hair to 1/2 inch had I found this sooner.
The smell, texture and the bright orange packaging of the full size set bblew me away. It's creamy but light and my hair has ALOT of volume! It feels and smells great, and this is a brand I would TRULY buy. I have used garnier hair products for about the past year and I find it was the only line that came close to helping my hair.
Good job garnier!
I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

It's a Trap-eze - china glaze
I forget where I first saw this but the first time I tried to buy it it was sold out. Finally I snagged some!
it;s a barely lavender/lilac base with tons of glitter of all shapes and many colors...I used 3 coats with seche vite in between the coats. I find it works better with thick, heavy and gritty polishes like this. I read one review that said it was hard to apply....I didn't find this at all. i found the glitter distributed very nicely. One thing i really like is the almost pearly glow of this polish!
This was taken in the sun
This one taken indoors
Sometimes i'm not sure if I like this polish but there is something about it I really like! I'm not normally a fan of china glaze but I REALLY like this polish....enough to try more of their polishes! Good job China Glaze. This was a fun one to enjoy!

Beyond The nail - FINALLY a SUPERIOR neon yellow nail polish
FINALLY!!!!! my search for neon yellow is OVER!!!! Thanks to Toronto based Beyond The Nail!
ok seriously this was my first ever handmade polish purchase, and my 3rd neon yellow. So I approached this purchase with great desperation.
I saw a post on facebook about their neon polish and had to try it. I found it and noticed it's also UV reactive (which I care nothing about, but you might) It looked perfect and a bonus is, like us, they too are from Toronto! shipping was fine and I purchased and waited. Shipping was fast however the downside was in the meantime I'd had my nails done with other polish......NATURALLY the day I get my nails done my beyond the nail polish comes.....so I have actually waited about 2 weeks to post this as I just got them done again today!
so I painted 2 coats of white (which always looks horrifying)
you can find them below

check them out...i'm so glad i did!

Than once i got home I painted 2 coats of neon yellow with a coat of seche vite on top. This polish has none of the streaking or chalkiness neons always have....no lumpy pigments...it's oddly.......PERFECT.
(awful hands for polish blogging hahaha)
Customer service is great and this shop also offers tons of adorable decals for nails and mountain of other colors!

My Craftsy Experience (not good)
so I have long been a fan of craftsy...I've got some awesome patterns and tutorials free from them and they often have good sales for fabric. I couldn't pass up the fat quarter mystery box.....so I took the plunge.....
I waited and waited and waited and finally it arrived! I opened it up (swear to god there was a gasp and almost tears) and was shocked at the level of shit I received.....now I know it's a mystery box BUT almost every single fabric is from blank quilting ,,, in fact only 2 are from KIND OF mainstream lines....
The kicker was the doubles, triples and quads of fabric I got. I can see a double or 2 but this is insane...and the fabric is soooooo crappy!

These are all doubles, triples or quads!!!!!
This is all that came in singles
on the left vertically is all the repeats, the right is the singles....kind of off a bit no?
I contacted craftsy and the most they were willing to do was refund my shipping and duty....wow 22$...still out the 40-50$ full of shitty fabric that I will never use! had the listing said you will get several repeats...in fact we won't make much effort at all....singles will be few and far between, it would have been A) far more honest and I would not have bought it! Would I EVER shop on craftsy again...perhaps,..if t was a huge sale.... would I ever TRUST craftsy, refer them to a friend, share or promo them on any social media in any way like I do most honest shops....nope...not a chance.... I buy alot of fabric...if not for me than for my supply shop.... I figure craftsy will be missing a few hundred dollars a year that I spend with fabric shops....
I'd like to say they cared....but considering they wou;dn't do much i'm not sure what to think. I now it's a mystery box but sorry for my french this is blatant bullshit! and very dishonest.
all the fabric was paid for by me, and I really wanted to tell you how awesome it was........but it wasn't.... Or how awesome they were in helping me.......but they weren't
eventually this will happen to enoough people and word will get around..... I hope it's sooner than later so nobody else like me ends up in this situation!

Etsy shop review - Loops and dots
Needed some small gifts for my son's teachers. I headed to etsy....perhaps some custom notebooks this year!!!
I came across Loopsanddots on etsy . what a great shop!!! and local to boot!
I purchased 2 of these custom notebooks! here
it was so easy I just let her know the color I wanted and what I wanted to say on the cover.... I was shocked at how fast they were done, and since she's out in my area at times she asked if it would be ok to pop them into my mail *THRILLED* no chance of a postal mix up.
I also had a little book made up to write stuff down about my son...those can be found here
The wrapping papers were just digital download sheets readily found all over etsy! I was so impressed from everything from start to finish! The gifts were loved and if I ever needed something custom like this I would RUN back to this shop in a heartbeat!!!!
all items are purchased FULL PRICE by me therefore an actual non bought review is what you can expect here! as with all items on my blog!
