Something kind of scary I found out...

I have some cuticle oil laying around that I never use because I LOVE my Julep rollerball one! Thinking I would use them more if they had a different container, I ordered some empty rollerball bottles off of Etsy.

That's when I got to thinking- Self, you are gonna make your own nail polish in a month or two. How cool would it be to make your own cuticle oil as well??

Genius, I thought, and how hard could it be? Get a base oil, add some nice smell and boom! Cuticle oil!

Well, this is when my research uncovered some seriously scary stuff!!

(I look so cute and innocent, but read on to find my scary truths!)

McEvoy Ranch Body Balm

I was in my college's shop looking for some stuff on sale (got some flip flops for spring break for $10 bucks! Whoo!) and saw some samples of a new product on a little table..

Something that is very well known about me- I have a sensitive nose. Not like, anything that smells is gross to me (although powerful smells can give me a headache) I more mean that my nose really really REALLY likes good smelling things! Bf just sighed because I zoomed to the sample table and started sniffing like a hound!

Picked up some "Body Balm" because it looked seriously amazing and get this... it smells like basil!!! I fell in love at first sniff! Ahh Italian goodness be mine! My only concern was, how am I going to get this where I want it without making my palms greasy?

Solution: Makeup sponge. Win.

Swisspers Cotton Pads from Amazon

Here shall be a post that isn't nail polish, but is equally amazing! Taking off nail polish can be a pain (sometimes the prettiest of sparklies are the evilest to get off!) and buying cotton pads and other removing cloths can be expensive. And also kind of lame, at least in my opinion. I didn't really enjoy picking up face pad things at Freddies almost every time I go there, and I visit Freddies three times a week normally!

So like I said a couple of posts ago, I checked Amazon for the brand of pads I use, Swisspers, and found a deal!
 

To clarify, each pack that looks like this

...has 50 pads in it, and there are six of these packs in one order for a total of....

...300 cotton pads. And unless you have very stubborn polish, you can clean all ten pretty fingers with one pad. Sometimes more. 

I'm not even kidding, and Amazon isn't paying me to tell you this (although if you click on the link up there and buy it they will give me some compensation xD) but this is a FANTASTIC deal! I get Amazon Prime shipping, ordered it Wednesday (Feb 8) and it was here Friday (Feb 10), and even if you don't have Prime in my experience Amazon doesn't take its time shipping things to ya!

It's now Feb 18, and I haven't even gone through half of my first bag! I'm doing my nails AT LEAST once a day, sometimes more, and I'm using them to cleanse my face too. Sheesh!

Hope this helps y'all out!

<3 and sunshine!
