NOTD: China Glaze Jungle Queen

One of the best things about fall? Darker nails! And dark purples at that!

For nail colors I generally love purples. However throughout the summer, I was so over it. I wanted bright, spring-y, happy colors. But now that it's fall again and darker colors are back I've fallen in love with my purples all over again!
 

The Halloween Tag

Happy Halloween Everyone!

With just under a week until halloween and many people celebrating this weekend I thought it would only be right to do a Halloween themed tag! Thanks Nikki at Fairest's Favorites and Kendra of Beauty by Kendra C  for creating this tag!

Fragrance I'm Loving

Hello Everyone!

I am the type of person that likes to change up my perfume. I will choose what scent to wear based on my mood, the season, where I'm going, etc. That is not to say I don't have favourites, but I do like to change it up.

Liebster Award

 

I was nominated for Liebster Award from the lovely Doctor Pretty! I just want to thank her for thinking of me! This is my first award and I am so excited!
As far as I know (and could find out) the Liebster Award goes around the blogosphere to recognize great blogs with less than 200 followers. It is a way to recognized and make other people aware of some great blogs!

Keep Reading to see who I've nominated!

Essence Peel Off Base Coat

Hi Everyone!! 

I'm super excited to talk about one of my new favourite things! Essence Nail Art Peel Off Base Coat (you can find it by scrolling through the products when you click the link). 

I got this for Christmas from my mom, who picked it up when she was in Germany (because I begged her for it). I know Essence is now selling their products in most Shoppers Drug Marts in Canada, but I haven't seen this product in Canada yet. So keep your eyes peeled. 

This isn't like the regular peel off nail polish that some of you may have had when you were younger. It isn't a nail polish. It is a base coat!

So how does it work? Keep reading to find out!

I ♥ Spring TAG

Today I thought I would do the I ♥ Spring tag that has been floating around youtube. This tag was created by Ingrid (you can check out her video here), but I was inspired to do this tag because of my friend Jamie (go check out her video here). 

I thought about doing a video for this, but I changed I decided to stick with what I know so I'm going to make you guys read it. Sorry (not really).

Keep reading to see a few of my favorite spring things!

My sister and I tend to share our nail polishes (so you might see manicures with colors that she purchased) but today I'm only going to share the ones that I purchased. I also have a few more polishes at my mom's place because I couldn't take them all back with me. These won't be included here.

I also realize this could get long, so I will pretty much just post the pictures and the names so you can easily scan through to see what you might like. Enjoy!

Family Time

Hello everyone!

Sorry that I haven't updated in the last week, I was a little distracted with my mom's visit!

She stayed with my sister and me for a few days. It wasn't her first time in Toronto, so she wanted to focus on just spending time with us :)

Here is a little recap of the few days that she was here. We did a little shopping, a little exploring, a little drinking, had some treats, and lots of coffee! 

My little fam :)

Too Many Lotions

Happy Monday Everyone!

I hope that you are all enjoying this rainy day! Actually I hope that it isn't a rainy day for most of you :)

I was going to include my body lotions in my last post about shower products, but I didn't want it to get too long. So here are my lotions. Enjoy!

Decluttering My Shower

Hello Hello! And Happy Weekend!!

I have some exciting news for you. Making It Sparkle has a Facebook page!! Yay!! Go "like" it here!

Moving on. For part two of my de-cluttering series I will be focusing on shower products. Check out part one here. I thought I'd include shampoo, conditioner, deep conditioner, and body wash. I also have a face wash and a razor in my shower but I'm not too worried about having to de-clutter those products ha!

Never Enough Lip Gloss

Hello hello!!!

If you read my previous post (click here), you will know that I'm doing a sort of "de-clutter my life" series (and repurchasing new products, obviously).

So I thought I would start with lip products, because I LOVE lip products. Pretty much I'm addicted to lip gloss. Talk to anyone that went to high school with me. At any given time you could probably find at least 5 different lip products my purse (and maybe one or two in a jacket pocket somewhere).

Recently, when this bright idea to de-clutter hit me, I chucked out all my old, expired, and gross looking products. This was before I thought that I would blog about it, so no picture of everything that got trashed, sorry. But who wants to see a pile of old and gross lip gloss anyway? However, this left me with a very limited collection.
