BEAUTY BOX - March Steven and Chris Luxe Box

March 28, 2013 / BY Maria - Pink Petals
I wasn't sure if I was getting a box this month because I unsubscribed in January and didn't know when they charged for the next box. I received some emails regarding shipping but still haven't even received the tracking information for this box. I went to get the mail anyways and there it was! Here's what I got in this month's Luxe Box.  Bourjois | Healthy Mix Serum Gel Foundation (53-Light Beige) Full size: 30...

NOTD - Chevron Nails

March 22, 2013 / BY Maria - Pink Petals
I've decided to try and attempt chevron nails without using tape because it can be hard cutting tape without it sticking together. I looked around my room and found those hole punch stickers which I never ever use.

NOTD - OPI's My Lifesaver

March 06, 2013 / BY Maria - Pink Petals
Spring is right around the corner and I think transitioning from deep to vibrant polishes is the best way to start off the season! Here I am wearing My Lifesaver by OPI which is a beautiful opaque mint blue. On my ring finger, I drew a cherry blossom branch, mimicking Arizona's Green Tea design. These are all the polishes I used to create this simple look. I used Revlon's Calcium Gel Hardener as a base...
