CVS SAVING MONEY!
I just went to CVS with my friend Julia, and I only had 14 dollars with me, so did she. Together, we each bought Maybelline mascara, NYC Color lip gloss, and Covergirl eyeliner. Now, if we had gone separately, then we wouldn't have been able to afford the makeup. We went to CVS, searching for mascara, eyeliner, and lip gloss that we could afford, but was good quality. We looked for all of the buy one get one fifty percent off signs in CVS and grabbed 3 mascaras, 3 lip glosses, and 3 eyeliners. After comparing prices, we picked "one by one" volumizing mascara which should have been $12.98 for two, but we ended up paying $9.47 for two. Then, we got NYC color lip gloss which was on sale for $2.99 each, we had a total so far of $15.45. We then grabbed our last item, Covergirl "perfect blend" eyeliner which was originally $10.48 but we got it for $8.23. If we had each bought these items individually, we would have each paid $14.97, but paying together we each paid $11.84!

Fourth of July Nails!
FLAG NAILS: These nails are patriotic, cute, and easy! Start off with a base coat of white nail polish then, in one of the lower corners, paint a square about a quarter of your nail. Then, take a toothpick and make red stripes. Use the other end of the toothpick to make white dots on the blue section. Voila! A flag!
FIREWORK NAILS: These nails are a little more advanced, but they are still cute and easy. First, paint all of your nails red, then, with a toothpick, make a white dot somewhere off center and then draw white curved lines coming out of it. Then, draw blue lines coming out of that. Apply a sparkle coat on top and wait for it to dry. You can skip the next step, but I think it really adds to the design. Take the glitter polish and put a gloopy dot over the white dot you made, then place a rhinestone over that, wait for it to dry before doing the next nail, once all of the nails are dry, apply one last sparkle coat ad voila!
