KBShimmer Birthstone Collection Review

*Press Sample

Hi Lovelies! Today I'm back to share with you, you guessed it, more KBShimmer polishes! This time, 6 pretty, glittery shades from the Birthstone Collection.

I wasn't sure how to choose which 6 shades to get, so I went with birth months of my family and friends.

Garnet: Garnet is a deepened burgundy red polish loaded with metallic flakes.  A hint of holographic dust adds sparkle and shine to this polish.  

I am wearing 2 coats of color, without topcoat. This shade was picked for my sister, who has a birthday in January.

Diamond: Diamond is a pale silver polish loaded with metallic flakes.  We amped up the holographic dust to max out this polishes sparkle and shine.

I am wearing 2 coats of color, without topcoat. This shade was picked for my dad, who has a birthday in April.

Black Pearl: Black Pearl is a dusty black toned polish with holo sparkle. It is loaded with metallic flakes that take on a golden hue giving this this polish a warm blackened green look. 

I am wearing 1 coat of color, without topcoat. This shade was picked for me! My birthday is in June! However, I must say I was a little disappointed that traditional white pearl was chosen, I would have loved to see a nice sparkly white shade.

Ruby: Our Ruby polish is a warm blue toned red loaded with metallic flakes.  A hint of holographic dust adds sparkle and shine to this polish. 

I am wearing 2 coats of color, without topcoat. This shade was picked for my hubby, who has a birthday in July. (Of course my fur-baby Molly has a birthday in July too)

Sapphire: Sapphire is a rich navy leaning blue loaded with metallic flakes.  A hint of holographic dust adds sparkle and shine to this polish. 

I am wearing 1 coat of color, without topcoat. This shade was not picked for anyone in particular in my family (no September babies here).

Pink Tourmaline: Pink Tourmaline is a vibrant pink loaded with metallic flakes.  A hint of holographic dust adds sparkle and shine to this polish.

I am wearing 2 coats of color, without topcoat. This shade was picked for my mom, who has a birthday in October. Just like June, I wish that this one was based off of October's other stone (Opal).

There you have it! The six shades that I picked from the KBShimmer Birthstone Collection. These shades will be available at kbshimmer.com starting 1/1/2016. And check out the Press Release for more information on the special jewelry giveaway promotion going on with the polish release as well!

Irresistible Me Hair Royal Remy Hair Extension Review

*Press Sample

I recently was contacted by Irresistible Me to see if I would like to review one of their products. I jumped on the chance to do something different on the blog and I have always wanted to try out hair extensions. My hair is thin and takes forever to grow so I was hoping these extensions would give me a fuller look in addition to length, and I was not disappointed.

If you want to see what my "normal" hair looks like you can hop over to my Instagram.

Anyway, let's take a look at how I was rocking these extensions over the weekend!

I LOVE THESE!!!! I wore them all weekend and felt so confident in my look while I was wearing them.  The color of the extensions is slightly lighter than my natural color, but lucky me, I had highlights that I was letting grow out so these blended PERFECTLY. I can't wait to try these out for the workday sometime soon!

Some information about the hair extensions that I received:

• Type: Royal Remy
• Color: Ash Blonde
• Length: 14"
• Weight: 200g

In the box I received numerous clip in extensions; 1 four clip waft, 2 three clip wafts, 4 two clip wafts, and 2 one clip wafts. One waft came packaged separately so that the user could test the color before opening up the whole package. I really liked this feature, because had a ordered a different shade that didn't match so well, the large bundle would still be able to be used again if I had to return them. 

Given my hair was so thin, I found I didn't even need to use all of the wafts. In the pictures and what I ended up wearing out all weekend, was 1 four clip, 1 three clip and 2 single clips; you really do get a lot of hair for your money. Since the extensions are made from 100% real human hair, you and wash and style them as you would your own hair! 

Here is some additional information about the Royal Remy line from Irresistible Me: "Royal Remy is our premium line of clip-in hair extensions. We use top of the line hair and a special treatment unique to Irresistible Me to add extra silkiness and durability and make these the best hair extensions you can find. The thickness of the hair is amazing – it’s the same from the top to the bottom of the weft which will provide a lot of body and bounce while wearing them. This line is very easy to blend with your own hair and can be very easily styled, cut, colored and curled. Ultimately, the Royal Remy hair will last longer and is the closest match you can find to completely unprocessed hair. If you’re looking for longevity and volume, the Royal Remy line is the best choice you could make. "

I would absolutely recommend these extensions to anyone and everyone looking for an easy way to switch up your hair for anything from a special event to daily wear. If extensions aren't your thing, Irresistible Me also has styling tools, hair care products and accessories.
