Beauty Overhaul Hits and Misses

Michelle Resendiz – Chicago, Il
Its the weekend Beauty Overhaul! This is a new weekly article that we are doing for all our beauty lovers out there. I’m going to go over all my favorite products, and show you the hits and the misses… all the things that I loved and all the things that I didn’t.
Highlights:
Nails Inc- I loved my new Nails Inc ‘base coat’ and’ nail polish’ color that we tried. You guys have to try this brand its amazing. I loved this way better than my OPI stuff, and I can see myself replacing everything in my collection with Nails Inc. Take a look at all they have to offer at Sephora.com
Carol’s Daughter- We love the new ‘dry oil mist’ that we tried this week. I got the Coconut scent and I’m absolutely IN LOVE! Get yours today at Carol’s Daughter.
There’s some misses in there too. There were a few things that I tried that I didn’t like too much so you will see in our video but before I leave you with our video here’s a couple of pics from my everyday life. My life as a video blogger, and Fashion and Beauty guru.

Fashion Week Nail Trends

Michelle Resendiz – Chicago, Il.
NY Fashion week always seems to have everyone on pins and needles waiting for some new fashion trends. The runways seem to be pounding with excitement and I know we are too, but have you ever really watched the trends on the runways? You can use those to help predict what ‘beauty fashion’ is going to be emerging this season. Take a look at some of my favorites and let’s watch this unfold.
This spring is all about color, but I can see many colors coming out. Spring is always about color actually! Everything is blooming and growing, becoming new, starting over, the weather is changing… it’s such a magical time of year. Some love the pastels and the light ‘easter egg hunt’ colors. I personally think this trend is going to be a hit this spring as well. When I think of blooming and new beginnings I think of the light pastel loves of mine.
Then there’s my bold beauty lovers. These guys love bold colors, and bold polish. Think Tommy Hilfiger runway show…. These guys would love Nails Inc. Who is my current favorite nail polish brand, and has some amazing colors for spring. They have things I wouldn’t normally use, but I tried them to go along with my Spring Inspiration and I loved them! Take a look at these!

The formulation is long lasting, ultra glossy, and easy to apply so that you get the best possible results every time. All of nails inc. polishes and products are named after iconic places in the UK and streets in London in order to celebrate the brand’s British heritage. The range includes shades such as “Piccadilly Circus,” “The Mall” (where you will find Buckingham Palace), and “The Thames,” the most famous river in the UK.

What else you need to know: Nails inc. has a huge color range including everything from super glossy cream shades, liquid metals, shimmery metallics, and glitter shades. Nails inc. really has something for everyone, every outfit, and every occasion
Nails inc. is sold at Sephora and the prices can not be beat. The quality of this polish is way better than OPI in my opinion, and the colors are classy and cool. I love Nails Inc. I am VERY impressed with their products, their company, and what they are about.
What to look our for this season? Here’s my Fashion predictions…. PURPLE! And Holographic Glitter’s.
Glitter Gal Purple
I have seen some amazing new colors coming out from Glitter Gal, and they are to die for! Something all in its own category. Visit their site to see all the amazing colors they have to offer.

Beauty Haul Hits and Misses

Hey beauty lovers! Here’s this week’s Affairs Magazine version of a Beauty Overhaul. I had some new stuff this week that I absolutely loved. It’s all explained in the video, but here’s a photo breakdown of all my favorite things. Also, if anyone wants those face exfoliation wipes I don’t mind sending them to you to try, but my advice is not to risk it. If you want them comment here, or on our Youtube, or @AffairsMagazine on twitter that you want them. The first person to comment is going to get them.
