I'm sorry!
I've been absent since January! For that, I apologize. A close friend of mine got sick and it was unexpected. At first she was just making visits to the hospital, having pain, discoloration of her eyes. Next thing you know, she's getting a liver transplant. I don't know how she got sick so fast, she really takes care of herself! But now that she's finally home and recovering, I get hit with my own illnesses. Not nearly as serious as her, but it's tiring for me.
So, i'm sorry and i'll try not to go missing again!
I'll post an updated favorites list in a bit.

New Favorite Makeup Remover Wipes!
So I did a post in November about Neutrogena's Makeup Remover Wipes, and I mentioned that a major downside was that they are so oily. Good for people with dry skin, but not for me. I saw the Nighttime Wipes from Neutrogena and decided to buy them and try them. I love them! I remove my makeup at night, and the scent is really calming. They remove my eye makeup better than the other wipes, and feel much less oily.
You can get them for $7.49 at any drugstore. I highly recommend them!

Bathina "touch me then try to leave"... Cream
So sorry for my disappearance on blogger, but after I got over the flu we had company from out of town so I've been busy. But, I have a new review for you!
For the past year or so I've really wanted the Bathina "touch me then try to leave"…cream from Benefit (my favorite cosmetics brand!) and I finally got it thanks to a swapper from Makeupalley.com.
This cream smells so good, it kind of smells like light baby lotion and roses, but a sexier womanly combination of the two. It smells of roses and it makes your skin feel like rose petals.
I love the packaging, it comes in a nice box (which I kept instead of throwing it away) and the plastic container looks like frosted glass.
The lotion is soft and not runny from the container, it stays in place.
It feels nice going on to my skin, absorbs fast, smells amazing, and makes my skin really soft. For at least 20 minutes after applying this cream I can't stop feeling my skin!
It's especially awesome after shaving my legs, I applied it and the next day I could still feel how soft it had made my legs.
It's $30 but it's definitely something I would buy over and over again every time I ran out. It's scent might not be for everyone so if you have access to a Sephora or Ulta, try it out to see if you'd like it. It's a great product and I like it a lot. Here's where you can purchase it online.

Yellow nail lacquer
I've been trying to find a good yellow nail polish for a while now. I've bought three and none of them are quite what I'm looking for.
Ulta has a yellow called sun-sational for $5. You have to put at least three coats, I put four and it still looked like it could use one more. This dries pretty fast and doesn't chip so easily.

I put one coat of O.P.I's Lemonade stand by your man from the Retro fun in the sun collection over the Ulta Creme and it came out like this
Pretty much the same, just with a bit of shimmer. This O.P.I polish is exactly like Sunny Romance of Saint Tropez from CHI.
My index and middle finger are CHI, and my ring and pinky are O.P.I. Three coats each. They're identical, and both dry kinda slow but don't chip much, but neither are the yellow I want.

Lip gloss!
Here are a few Lip gloss reviews!
I tried out two lip glosses from Express, in caramel drop and hawaiian slam, both $7 at Express.
I love caramel drop, it's a very pretty color. It's a shimmery tan with a hint of pink. It applies easily, smells delicious, tastes sweet, and has a very pretty sheer color on my lips. I love the slight shimmer in it. I prefer this to the other, because Hawaiian slam has bigger shimmer and glitter in it. It still is very pretty, but a little too glittery for me. This one is clear with pink and green-blue glitter in it. It smells really fruity and good, and tastes good too. But when I am wearing it, I can feel the glitter which I don't really like. I do like these glosses though and I plan on buying more. They're not sticky, and you don't have to apply them a lot of times like normal lip glosses.
I got this lip gloss from Sephora, and I really like it. It's more of a special occasion gloss than an everyday gloss for me. It smells just like cinnamon buns, and it's slightly sweet but not that much. I LOVE this color, the picture doesn't show it well, but this is a very pretty transparent color with pink, gold, and green shimmer in it. I love how you can't feel the glitter and it's not too much, but this is a little sticky. I get very annoyed because my long hair gets stuck in it a lot! That's the only con for me, I'm definitely buying more of these glosses. They're $10 at ulta, sephora, and on philosophy.com.
