Today's shout out goes to ShopTrokm on Etsy! I'm loving their unique phone cases that have a cool twist. Not only do the offer different and fun phone cases, it's also a wallet. These cases are perfect to take for a night out, bars, clubs, and parties. The array of designs are fantastic and will satisfy anyone's style. They also offer these wallet/cases for many types of phones. The quality is great and very durable. The blue case is for my iPhone 5 and the black one will be for my cousin who has the Samsung S4. The store is located in California so shipping will depend on where you live. Everything on the website is very affordable. The customer service was amazing and very cooperative. I appreciated the card  that came with the cases on how to clean and keep them looking fresh! Also they just launched a website that includes everything on their etsy store.

Sonia Kashuk Self Tanning Towelettes REVIEW!




Memorial Day Weekend is nearby and I wanted to get some color before joining any festivities! I have seen these tanning towelettes in Target for over a year now. I've never tried tanning towelettes before and haven't seen many reviews using this particular brand. I decided to try them out and see if it actually delivers. Sonia Kashuk Self Tanning Towelettes retail for $9.99 without tax. The box includes 4 towelettes and meant for the face and body.

What it says on the box:
  • A quick and simple way to get an even, sunless glow for fair to medium skin tones within hours
  • Easy to apply and dries in seconds
  • Exfoiliates skin for even and consistent tanning
  • Individually sealed, perfect for use on the go
  • One application lasts up to 7 days
What it claims:
 "Each Sonia Kashuk golden tanning towelettes is concentrated with a self tanning formula to give you a quick even application with no streaking, mess or fuss. Golden tanning towelettes will produce a uniform, natural-looking glow within 2 to 4 hours. For a deep tan, apply another tanning towelette after 4 hours. To maintain your tan, reapply as needed, or 2 to 3 times per week. For a darker result, apply more frequently. Light citrus fragrance, Results may vary."

Directions:
Unfold towelette and apply to dry, clean skin in circular motion. Wash hands immediately.

My experience:
I exfoliated my skin prior to using these wipes and followed the directions. One wipe WILL NOT cover your entire body. I had to use two wipes for a full application. One wipe for the bottom half of the body and the other for the upper half. I noticed the towelette dries extremely fast. Since the towelette is clear you can't really tell the area you went over or did not go over. Which can lead to not having a smooth application. The color did develop within hours and looked very natural. I'm very pale with sensitive skin and it gave a slight natural tan. I did have blotchy-ness in some areas due to not knowing if you went over the area well. I tried to go over the area with a third towelette the next day and that seem to blend everything in. I almost forgot to mention that YOU'RE PALMS WILL TURN ORANGE! I suggest you wear gloves when applying this all over your body. The color seemed to last the seven days. Would I repurchase this again? Maybe. If I already have a tan and want to get a little bit darker, I would repurchase. If you're really fair and pale I wouldn't suggest it for the price and the fact you only get 4 towelettes. I'm going to try other brands of tanning towlettes and do a comparison post in the near future.

Nail Polish of the Day

I'm obsessed with this nail combination. I used Pink & Proper by Milani High Speed Fast Dry nail polish on every other nail. Then I used a mini Sephora by OPI nail polish and sadly it doesn't have name on it. This nail polish was in a mini holiday set back in 2011 I believe. It's a beautiful metallic rose gold shade.
