TY for your support! 💓 What are Lip Gloss Nails? Lip gloss nails are sheer or semi sheer light pink or nude nails that are super shiny like lip gloss. It's a sophisticated, clean, minimalist look. The polish can be a cream finish or a slightly shimmery polish as long as it is super glossy. A jelly finish nail polish would be perfect to achieve a juicy lip gloss finish. Otherwise, add 2 coats of high gloss topcoat to any f...

  We love our sugar! Especially when we are stuck at home. I know I have a weakness for anything chocolate. A few pieces of Dove Dark, vanilla buttercreams covered in dark chocolate, chocolate cake with buttercream frosting and ohhhh, fresh bake chocolate chips cookies!!!🍪 To die for!!! But, we all know eating a lot of sugar is bad for us. But, why is sugar bad for us when it tastes so good? It's just plain not fair. The American Heart Association, back in August 2016, issued new recommendation for kids and the amount of sugar they should eat.

It could cause an eye infection.  Where does mascara contamination come from? Mascara contamination comes from bacteria, fungi, or Demodex mites from your own self that enter the mascara tube each time you apply the mascara. Most mascara contains water that ...
