Review: Willow Tree Minerals!

First off to let you all know Laura was kind enough to send me a couple samples to try out and review for you guys!!! So thank you so much for the opportunity Laura! 

She sent me 2 items to review a nail polish and an eyeshadow! 

So to let you know a little but about the company and brand everything is natural!! Everything is healthy for your skin and nails as well, which is great! 

The nail polish is is hypo-allergenic and non-toxic. Free of foul odors, toxic chemicals, formaldehyde, toluene and acetone! It does no damage to your nails or the environment. It is a water based formula and cruelty free!! Another cool fact is that the bottles to use are made out of recycled glass and since the polish is water based it can be disposed of and won't pollute landfills or the air! 

Now as for the color she sent me I'm not exactly sure what the name of it is but the product is called Bug Me Not. You get .5 fl. Oz. which compared to an OPI your getting the same amount! 

Now here is one coat of the polish applied to my nails: 

Here is the second: 

Here it is with a top coat: (I'm using color club clear coat) 

This polish is very unique and dries matte! Which is awesome. (To me anyway!! )

Now here is the eyeshadow which is called Cinnamon Silk Shadow, again I'm not sure the name of the color but it is beautiful!! 

I'm also not sure how much of the product you get and if this is just a sample size she provided me for reviewing purposes.  Here it is just swatched on my hand!! 

I absolutely love the green iridescence it has to it! I love applying it to a white base to make the green pop!

 

So those are the two products! I will be doing a review video as well! To go in depth a little more! I hope you enjoyed this post and be on the look out for the update post for the video!

How to find out if a product or foundation is silicone based!

How to find out if your foundation is silicone based or not?

Look on your ingredients list, if you didn’t know the ingredients are listed from most quantity to least quantity. So for example if you were to see ‘Water’ or ‘Aqua’ listed first that means that there is more water in it. But that doesn’t necessarily make it a water based foundation. Because if the 2^nd word is something like silica, dimethicone, cyclopentasiloxane, actually all you have to do is look at the end of the word, if it ends in –cone, -siloxane, -silicate or –silicone ß that is your silicone ingredient, it is most likely a silicone based product. Now if you get to the middle of the ingredient list or below the middle and you haven’t reached a silicone ingredient then it will most likely be a water based foundation.

Why is silicone used?

                Silicone – lets your skin breathe, it also fills in any pores or fine lines you have. It’s also a lot smoother and will most likely give you an “airbrushed” or “flawless” look.

Will I break out because of silicone?

                Well, that I am not sure of. Because everyone’s skin is different. Some are sensitive, some are oily and or combination, etc. But I do know since it does fill in your pores you could experience severe to minimal breakouts. For me I have been using a silicone primer and I have dry/combo skin and I haven’t had a break out. I think that you would be more likely to break out from a product you’re using because of the talc and possibly the fragrance in cosmetics.

What brands use silicone?

                Well as I have found the majority of foundations use silicone. From high end to drugstore there is some form of silicone in almost all of them. I do have a list made up and I will be posting that as well.

But I hope this helped you for the most part. If you want to know more about this just let me know in the comments on my blog or even on twitter, instagram or my channel.

As always thank you for reading!!

Emily xoxo

Nails in a Month April 2013 - Support Autism!!

Hey guys so this month, I made the decision to support Autism by wearing the color blue for most of the month!!! I think I did a pretty good job with sticking to my decision. The video will be uploaded within this week, and I'll do an update post saying that it is uploaded! A favorites video is coming as well, so would you like a post for that too!? Let me know in the comments! Alright now let's get started! (Oh and these won't be in order by any means lol, check out my instagram link at the bottom!)

So for everything I used for my typical manicure hasn't really changed since the previous month but I wasn't able to get a post up last month, but here are the items:

• Sally Hansen Maximum Growth - I've been painting this on my nails before my base coat and then over the top of my nails before my top coat! It seriously has worked and I LOVE it!
• OPI - Ridge Filler, which is my favorite product to use as a base coat, since I have peeling nails and on some of them there are mini ridges.
• Beauty Secrets Top Coat- and I use it for a top coat and that's it! lol
• Famous Names - Dadi Oil, which I love the scent to but it is just a cuticle oil and it is 95% organic which is one thing I like about it but, I'm not sure that I would repurchase it. But it is great.
• OPI Avojuice Lotion - Mango - Uh, YUMM! lol The smell of this is amazing and it isn't greasy!!
• Demert Nail Enamel Dryer Spray - to help dry my nails faster if I'm running out of time or just because I have little patience (mostly little patience, haha)
• Butter London Nail Polish Remover in Branwen's Berries - Love this to clean up around the cuticles because it is acetone free and it's not harsh and doesn't dry out my cuticles! (Unfortunately it's almost gone)
• Beauty Studio 35 Strengthening Nail Polish Remover - Just something from Walgreens nothing exciting, it gets the job done and inexpensive.

Alright so as far as colors go I do have pictures that I took off of my instagram:

 This fun little duo is Loreal Paris - Now you sea me and on the ring finger, OPI- Polka.com from the Euro Centrale Collection. (I absolutely adore it!)

 Second: Essence - you belong to me. Perfect mint color, that I freaking love!

 As far as these two pictures above go, I used essence - you belong to me and just added strawberry milkshake by ciate to add in some pink and used some caviar pearls for some fun!

 Headliner - Ciate and on the index China Glaze - optical illusion from the prismatic collection!

 Absolutely loved this look! China glaze - frostbite and on the ring finger Sinful Colors in hottie. On the index I just used some white pearls and made it into the shape of a heart!!

 I actually really enjoyed this and not something I normally do, Revlon - Colada Fizz and NYC - Starry Silver Glitter. Just nice and simple.

 Loreal Paris - Royalty Reinvented and on the ring finger OPI -polka.com again!

 Favorite color of all time!! Thank you Makaila :D Orly - Fancy Fuchsia!

Also a new favorite which took me by surprise is OPI - Pussy Galore from the 007 Bond Girls Collection! This is a liquid sand color and is what I am currently wearing and also listening to Summer of 69' by Bryan Adams!! (LOVE)

Alright as for my lil' toes I only wore two different colors, just because I hate changing them, pain in the butt!

• At the beginning of the month I wore Orange Blossom by Love My Nails a really pretty orange with a gold sheen to it.
• Second my favorite color of all time and what I am wearing and plan on rocking it for awhile is Orly - Fancy Fuchsia!

Well gals that is it for my nails in a month! I really hope you enjoyed and please please please, check out my channel. It would mean so much to me!! I work very hard to create videos. Click here to visit my youtube channel and hopefully SUBSCRIBE!
