Morgan Taylor Trick 'r Treats Halloween 2017 Set - Press sample

With Halloween just around the corner now is the time to start planning out your mani... or manis if you're Halloween crazy like I am. Morgan Taylor is keeping with tradition by offering their annual Halloween themed mini set.



Formula: Nice consistency
Finish: True white creme
Coverage: 2 coats
Notes: All White Now is one of the best whites I own. It applies smoothly and is nearly a one coat white.

Little Black Dress

Formula: Nice consistency
Finish: Jet black creme
Coverage: 1 coat
Notes: Little Black Dress is my go-to one coat black. It's great for stamping or a quick, chic black mani.

Orange Crush

I finally had the opportunity to sit down and review my #31dc2017 posts. I'm still kind of exhausted? from doing thirty one days of nail art, but I'm happy I decided to do it. Today's post is a round up of all of the looks I did for the challenge.

Leeloo Soap Late Summer / Early Autumn Haul - Press sample

Autumn is in full swing so I thought I would do a review of my late summer / early autumn Leeloo Soap haul. Shorty after hurricane Harvey hit Texas, Janah announced that all profits during the next couple of days would be donated to several charities in the area. I saw this as a great opportunity to stock up on my favorite soaps for myself and for gifts. This haul went from large to massive when she included some delightful new products for me to try.

Pumpkin Spice Soapicorn

This is the original Leeloo Soap Soapicorn. I fell in love with it when I first spotted it back in 2015. I didn't pick one up at the time, but in the back of my mind it haunted me. I finally picked up an original Soapicorn with this order. The original Soapicorn is scented with strawberries, raspberries, citrus, and applies. It's a cheerful scent that I think most people would enjoy. Just like the Pumpkin Spice Soapicorn, this is 7-8oz bar that retails for $12. Unlike the Pumpkin Spice Soapicorn, the original Soapicorn is available year round.

Miscellaneous Summer Soaps

In addition to the autumn scents I picked out, I also ordered a few brighter scents. Some of the bars I ordered were gifts, and a few were sent by Janah as a bonus. I picked out Lemon Poppy because I  love all things fresh and lemony. All of Leeloo's lemon scents smell like the real deal, which is why I love them so much. Janah also included Blossom and Amethyst with my order. These are all fresh, clean scents that are great for any time of year. These 5oz bars retail for $7 each.

Cute Ghosts & Bats feat. Bohemian Polish - Press sample

Normally I am full of Halloween manis this time of year, but I am still a tad worn out from the #31dc2017 challenge. So far, I only have this single Halloween mani to share with you guys, but I am hoping to change that very soon. Today's post features some cute little ghosts and Bohemian Polish's Matte About Fall Collection.


On my middle finger I'm wearing Bohemian Polish Grenadine. The base color on my ring finger is Bohemian Polish Orange Pop, and my pinky is Neutral Gray.

Born Pretty Store Galaxy Holo Flakies - Press sample

I've finally jumped on the loose holo flakie train thanks to Born Pretty Store. I had been avoiding the loose flakies for a while now since I don't use gel polish. After playing around with a few sticky clear coats I discovered you can kind of mimic the look you would get with gel. This look was inspired by Cosmetic Sanctuary who figured out how to use powders with regular polish.
