All my favorites........

     OK, so I will apologize now because this entry is going to be a shameless plug for all the fashion and beauty sites that I have found and have come to love.  We all have them....that one website that has a bunch of cool tips and cute things that we love, so we check it on a regular basis.  I have a couple that if you haven't ever been on the site you should check out.
     So the first one is a blog called polishandpearls.com.  The girl that runs the blog, Jen, is adorable and has a great personality.  She also has a couple of channels on youtube that I watch regularly.  If you want to see those I think you can find the links on the blog page.   Basically what she does is goes out and finds products that she likes while she is shopping and then posts her opinions about them.  She has everything from brand name high end items to drugstore finds and everything in between.  She talks about clothes, hair, make-up, jewelry, and my favorite, nail polish.  This girls collection of polishes is positively insane.  She also does make-up tutorials, hair tutorials and nail design tutorials.  Everything is cute and fun and I love it!!!
     Another site I frequent is a blog on blogger called a girl and her polish.  She posts different nail designs she has done and what colors and brands she used to do them.  She also showcases different collections of different brands of polish.  Some of her designs are really pretty and all the colors she uses are fantastic!!
     Keeping with the nail design talk the next site I'm going to tell you about is a channel I watch frequently on youtube called cutepolish.  I believe you can also find this girl on twitter, facebook, instagram and a few other places on the net.  Cutepolish (or the girl in the videos that we still have no idea what she looks like) showcases a plethora of adorable and easy nail designs.  She takes ideas from her subscribers and fans and comes up with a design that only takes a couple of minutes to create.  She now even has he own top and base coat that she sells!!!  Her designs go from adorable to chic and everything else in between.  I've tried a couple of her designs and they look amazing!!!  She posts a new design every Sunday (usually, sometimes Monday) and as far as I have seen, answers any and all questions that her fans and subscribers may have to ask.  She also recently started promoting Disney and once or twice a month comes out with a Disney inspired design.  Awesome!!
  The last two I am going to tell you about are two that I actually fell in love with just this morning.  Thank you to Jen from polishandpearls.com for getting me hooked.  One is called youbeauty.com.  Youbeauty is one of those sites that has tips and discussuons about EVERYTHING!!!!!  Beauty, relationships...you name it they pretty much cover it and they have a TON of quizzes that you can take if you like to take quizzes. (Lord knows I do!!)  The other is called littleblackbag.com.  This site is cool and as soon as I get the money to I am bound and determined to try it out.  When you sign in to this site it asks a bunch of questions about what styles you like, make-up, accessories...etc.  Then what you do is you pick either the $49.99 or the $29.99 option and look through what their stylists have put together for based on your tastes.  Once you pick one or two items they put them in a virtual "bag".  When you check out they give you a couple more items at random based on your tastes in your bag.  You get a couple of days to trade and swap items in your bag with other people before your items get shipped to you.  The great part about it is you are only paying the $29 or $49 and getting items that are worth almost twice that!!!  Brand name stuff that you probably wouldn't normally spend a ton of money on is what you are getting for one low price!!!  How AWESOME is that???!!!!  I love to shop so to me this is a dream come true!!! 
     So that's all I have for you ladies....I hope you check out some of these sites and enjoy them as much as I do...Until next time......
