Product Overview: Hard As Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream

While watching one of RissRose2 haul videos on youtube, I was intrigued by a product that she mentioned/raved about and decided to try it.  The name sounded very promising, Hard as Hoof nail strengthening cream.  In the video she mentioned that this is available at Walmart for under $5.  It took a while for me to go buy the product since a Walmart isn't exactly close to me but finally during the Memorial Day weekend holiday I was able to pick it up.

This product has a very pleasant smell.  It came in cherry almond scent.  It is very creamy and just takes a small amount to apply to your nails.  The directions say  to "massage into nail bed, cuticles, and undersides of nails three times per day or as often as needed.  May be used over nail polish."  I was in dire need of a product like this since I recently took off acrylic nails and my nails are left a little damaged.

I have just been using this product for a few days but have been applying it three times a day to my finger nails and twice a day to my toe nails.  I will continue to do this for a month and then return with a full on review.  I am hoping to like this product *fingers crossed*.

Spring Cleaning/Closet Organization

Its that time of year again when its best to spring clean.  I figured my closet is always the best start since I am looking to add some new spring/summer items to my wardrobe.  If I am adding some stuff in, might as well clean some old stuff out that is no longer being used.  While I am in total violation of all of the tips I am going to list below to closet organization, I plan to follow these guidelines to have a better well organized closet and better yet, keep it that way.

Closet Organization Tips:

1.  I saw this great quote on Instagram and I think it perfectly sums up how one should clean their closet.

2.  Bulkier items that would take up more space if hung such as sweaters, jeans, etc should be hung.  This can conserve a lot of space.  Plus in terms of sweaters, they maintain their shape more if they are folded rather than hung.

3.  Try to set up your closet in a way so that you can view everything.  Its my belief that people, especially women, get constantly caught up in the "so many clothes and nothing to wear" mode because we can't see everything in our closet.  What attracts me most in shopping and buying new things at stores is because everything is set up so nice and organized.  If our closets were set up this way, getting dressed would be that much more fun.  Plus after cleaning, you would get more use out of everything you own.

4. Try to organize by color, season, fit, pattern, etc.  This can help when getting dressed daily.  This may also help with shopping, if you are trying to add more variety in your closet, you can clearly see what colors, patterns, etc you are missing.

5.  Take dry cleaning clothes out of the plastic garment bags before placing in the closet.  That garment bag just makes the closet look bad.

 

And finally...

6.  Invest in some containers, hangers, dividers, etc. that will help better organize your closet. The container store, Target, Ikea and other places have great finds to help display everything in your closet.

Current Makeup Wish List

It is inevitable that I, like any other person who really loves makeup, have a constant wish list running through my head of things I am thinking of buying next.  I currently have 5 tops things that I am going to buy...eventually.

The first product is the Revlon Precision Lash Adhesive.  I have passed over buying this product for a very long time but was convinced to wanting to try it after watching a recent video of ItsMyRayeRaye on YouTube.  When she mentioned that this has a thin liquid liner type brush applicator and that it dries way faster that duo, I was sold.

After attending this makeup class last month by the wonderfully talented, funny and humble celebrity makeup artist Renny Vasquez, I knew I had to have this product when he mentioned using it.  I have again seen this many, many times and saw reviews on YouTube of this but wasn't quite convinced. Since this can be used on all skin types without making one look ashy, I will definitely be heading to a Sephora soon to grab this.

The next product I want to purchase is the Clinique bottom lash mascara.  I saw this at Sephora last year and it was only $10 but I didn't buy it...silly girl.  But hearing that this works great for grabbing all of the bottom lashes I am definitely going to grab this.

I have been getting more into highlighting lately and saw that the MAC mineralize skinfinish in Soft and Gentle would be a great product that I think would compliment my skintone when I am feeling a JLo day and want to really beat my face.

I have never been into using brow gels, I just fill mine in and go.  However, every tutorial I watch on filling in eyebrows, brow gel is used.  More so the colored brow gels that many companies are releasing lately versus the clear kind.  I want to try the MAC brow gel in either girl boy or show-off.  Not sure which one would be best for me.
