Wishlist Wednesday: Origins Make A Difference Plus+ Treatment

Wishlist Wednesday is a feature I've seen on many blogs, where bloggers describe what they have their eyes on. I thought this would be a great feature to start, as there are always products that I am itching to get.

Empties, Recyclables, & Throwaways #1


Finishing a product is probably one of the most satisfying feelings known to man. Pumping out the last bit of moisturizer or scooping up the last glob of a facial mask really makes me feel really good! This first edition of ER&T consists mostly of skincare products that I used up awhile ago, but thought I would be worth mentioning them here.

Current Top Tune: Let Her Go


My latest go-to song has been Let Her Go by Passenger. Tanya Burr mentioned this song in her May 2013 Favorites. In the video, she said that she had showed her friends the song, who at first said it was alright. Now they're in love with it! This is what exactly happened to me. I listened to half the song after watching Tanya's video and just thought it was ok. I've since heard it on the radio twice & am now hooked. The song has sweet lyrics and is a great listen if you want to just chill out.

What songs have you been listened to lately?

The Perfect Summer Red Polish


Spoiled by Wet n Wild is one of those nail polishes brands that seems to be flying below everyone's radar. As a nail polish fanatic, I've never really read about the brand on other blogs. They don't come out with collections like Sinful Colors. It's a brand exclusive to CVS stores and their online store.

The color that I've fallen in love with from this line is Breakfast in Red. It's a bright warm color, almost orange toned red. It's not a very deep red which makes a perfect color for summer. It's not too heavy and serious. I love red on the nails because you can never go wrong. This type of a red in particular is a great pop of color.

I've not only fallen in love with the color, but also the formula. It's thinner formula, but packs a punch. It can be a one coater, but I usually like to stick with two to get closer to the color in the bottle. The Spoiled nail polishes feature a wide brush, which I prefer. You really only need one or two strokes to cover your nail. I haven't been using a topcoat lately because I've found that they make my nail polish chip faster. I've been using OPI Nail Envy & L'Oreal's One Stop Base (200) together for my basecoats.

Spoiled nail polishes are sold exclusively at CVS stores and CVS.com. What nail polishes have you been sporting this summer?
