How do you know you have Quality Nail Polish?

When was the last time you looked at a bottle of polish and thought to your self just what is a quality nail polish? We all know that some nail polishes are better than others by either the brand or maybe just the color. Its a shame that you can not open a bottle of polish to try it first before you buy it. The reason why I say that is if your bottle is thick and gooey you have a bottle thats really really old and not very good at all. I have found that some colors are the problem because they are too thick to able to put on your nails that doesn't take forever to dry and when it does dry you wear it for less than a day and it chips off. That is a sign of a nail polish thats not worth the money.
What you can do to make sure you have a quality bottle of nail polish to look at it really closely and if its looks thick it might be a problem. Shake it up and it doesn't move very well than put that bottle of polish back and pick up another one.
Light colors of nail polish seem to be better to wear and buy all the way around. The reason is when you put them on I am yet to find a light color polish to be thick and gooey. Personally my favorite light colors are Tink Pink

and Prom Night Pink both by BB Couture. I can look at all of her polishes and see it really move when I shake it and when I put any of her colors I don't find them to be too thick.
I have one color of hers that might be part of a contest when I call her on Monday.
Just so you know the polish price on my website is less.. You only have to pay 7.00!!
Just thought you might like to know that. Next time you pick up a bottle of nail polish think.. Just how old are you? Shake it and if it moves more like mud you don't want it.. look at another color. If you like light colors check out BB Couture Nail Polishes on my website today...

What is it about third party linking that so great about it?

I HAVE HAD IT!!!
Sorry but I am so sick and tired of third party link swapping requests!
Don't you realize that
the only site that helps is NOT yours or mine? I get requests for link swapping all the time
because Overallbeauty.com has a great Google Ranking. (Thanks Google 4/10 is great for a
three year old site) I have worked really hard at creating and maintaining a site that is worth
your time to visit it and buy beauty products off. I have articles and even poetry, quotes
and really awesome gift ideas.
I don't want to waste my time on sites that think using a third party linking is the way to go!
Example http://www.topsiteseeker.com I just got a link request from someone who uses this
site for swapping links. Where on there does it say who owns it? Plus the only thing it offers is links.
OPPS sorry looks like a link farm to me. Now I am sure its a nice site and it belongs to some great
people but its only links and I don't think it a site that I want my site involved with. And to top
that it has NO GOOGLE RANKING!! Which means if I link with it that could bring my own google ranking down. NOPE no can do!
Lesson for the day.
The whole idea about linking with other sites is to improve your standing with the major search engines and so that your customers if they can't find what they are looking for on your site and go off to one of your linking partners to hopefully find there what they are looking for. It makes everyone happy. Now linking farms want those visitors because they usually have something on there that makes them money. Ads etc. Fine great for them but it doesn't do a damn bit of good for sites like mine.
I won't do third party linking and do me a favor QUIT asking!! OK I done you have a wonderful day everyone and do stop by Overallbeauty.com and see if I got what you are looking for. If not ask me I may have it I just haven't added it to the site yet. ;)
I am going to go get more coffee before I bite someone....

Helped a friend stop a massage candle thief

Nothing upsets me more than people doing something they shouldn't and involving me. I carry a beautiful massage candle created by a good friend. Every now and then I see a massage candle something and I let her know because you need to know who your competition is right? I
offer her candles on my site.
Well I was checking out my keywords of what is bringing visitors to my site when I saw eBay
has been visiting and pulling a image off my website. I didn't say that was ok so I went over
to eBay to see whats up. I saw someone was selling a massage candle BUT she was using my
image so she was selling my bandwidth!!! OH no you don't!! So I told Cindy about it, the creator
she went looking on eBay as well and Nope that person didn't have the right to do so.
She talked to her and threatened her with copyright laws because she was not only using my
image, but she was selling the candle way too low!!!
So next time you see something that you don't think is right and you are a website owner
and someone is jacking your bandwidth, it pays to stop it. Made me happy, you see I am the
only one who is able to offer her candles for now and I will always help out a friend. Its don't
f**k with my friends because I will back them up and besides I lost money cause of her. :(

Ever Heard of Reader's Choice? If so tell them NO!

Have I got something to talk about today. I have a son that sign up for magazines that you pay so much a week. Not a problem, he got 6 magazines. Then he started having problems with them and wanted to stop all the magazines and cancel his account. Nope no can do! We were told that they can't stop magazines once they been ordered. Wait, if I can do it why can't they who sell magazines subscriptions for a living do?Something smells fishy now.
What is wrong with this picture? They want more than a child who has a low paying job can afford. These magazines were only for 2 years. Thats such a lie! Try for up to 10 years!

BUT get this! While he is trying to close his account with Reader's Choice he started getting bills from YET another magazine company! For real! And he now owes them as much as he
does Reader's Choice.. The bill for both added up is almost $2000.00 Yes you are reading this right.
He was signed up for a second magazine company for another 6 magazines! What the hell??? He was signed up by someone saying that they are him. Now who in their mind would do that to a child? Me thinks someone is running wild and now we have no idea how many of these magazine companies he might be signed up and now much money he might still be owing and not know.
Kind of scary when you think about it, is it not?

I called one of the magazines to see if I can close his account with them and cancel them, I was
told that only International Magazines can close his account. HUH? Who's are they?
I called another magazine company and asked them the same question, I got told that it could
be closed only by Budget Reader Services. What? What happen to Reader's Choice? Both magazines were signed up for 10 years! Huh? What happen to only 2 years?
Be warn everyone if Reader's Choice or any magazine company calls you telling you about this
great deal only so much a week don't go for it. In fact HANG UP!!!
They are going to mess with his credit, he now has two accounts wanting even more money!
Its such a mess that I have to warn you about this. I have even heard of people like this
signing up for credit cards in your name and using it as if they are you!

When we talked to them on the phone wanting something so simple as how much he has paid and how much he owes I got told this."Our computers can't do that I guess I could write you out something." What company can't create a simple form bill statement?

Please do ever go for this because it comes under "if it looks too good its no good for you!!
Now if anyone can help me with saving my son's credit and life please email me at
beautyoverall @ gmail.com (remove the spaces) and give me ideas of what we can do.
We been hearing horror stories of what has happen to other kids catch up in this.
Its wrong, and they can't be allow to get away with this. Share this information Coffee blog
readers, save other people's children today!
Thanks for listening to me bitch..

smoky eyes. Ok putting on smoky eye makeup.. Tell me what you think ok?

How Tamz Came to be.. Thanks to TV Friends!

Hair Care Please...
I was going through some old magazines I had to see what I should keep for business reasons
or just throw away. I keep articles etc to help me write better articles ..Nothing worse than trying to write about something only to have your facts all wrong.
I used to get Jane Magazine before they changed and became all oh I don't know how to really explain it only they changed and I didn't care for it.
As I was about to throw away my very last one something caught my eye...The name of the piece was "Glitter wishes and powder puff dreams ~ If you're product obsessed, start your own beauty biz already."
Ok Ok no big deal right? Wrong!! It started off with "Even Estee Lauder had to start somewhere."
I started reading it and low and behold I read this: Have an ultraspecific vision ~ That's how Atlanta sisters/business partners Elizabeth White, 27, and Jacquelyn Stafford, 23, created
Tamz, a hair product designed to tame unruliness, a few years ago. Jacquelyn got the idea when she was watching Friends and noticed that Jennifer Aniston's It hair was marred by random flyaways.
OH MY GOD!! Here was a article about the beginnings of a hair product I offer! I had no idea that it was thought up because Jacquelyn was just watching TV one night and there was a product need right there in front of her face! WOW huh?
I went of reading and the article talked about how Elizabeth contacted some distributors in the US by looking under COSMETICS MANUFACTURERS in the phone book.. I am not making this up!
She then found that they were all so far out of her money range that she just Googled it and send out a mass email till a company in Taiwan replied. They worked out a deal and then started testing it out on girlfriends hair. lol They started out thinking of making the packaging pink and green but the focus groups said it reminded them of Maybelline New York Great Lash so in the end it became a simple brown in color.
The end of the article told you to be prepared to lose your social life. When they get together with friends Elizabeth says its all consuming.. all she talks about. They want it to be a international sensation and is thinking about a line for men, maybe for your eyebrows who know??
I would like to thank Jane Issue DECEMBER 2005/JANUARY 2006 for this amazing information about a product I offer! You can visit Jane at http://www.janemag.com

What I mean is after working so damn hard to make a name for myself, I got invite from one of the biggest woman's site to become one of the blogs they showcase as well as if I carry their ads I can make a few dollars. Humm oh how can I turn that down? I will be carrying their ads on Overallbeauty.com as well as Beauty-Blog/

That won't happen to me I love my Coffee Blog Readers!!
Besides that a few things happen that I need to say something about. First off my oldest son now has his first girlfriend (WOOT!!!) but last week her only brother took his own life by setting in front of a train at 4:00 am. The young man was having problems after trying to turn around his life by getting off drugs, drinking and smoking. He tried to take it all on without help from Doctors which can be the worse thing as we found out. I never got to meet the young man but Derek did and its been hard on him as well as Liz his girlfriend. I feel the most sorry for his Liz's Dad who had a fight with Josh the night he took his life. He is feeling like its his fault when we all know thats not true. This family someday become part of ours so we are here for them. Liz feels like I am her Mother in Law already..

May Josh rest with Peace in the arms of the our Lord..

For Sale one Cell Phone Bag

Been creating handcrafted Cell Phone Bags again. This yarn makes each bag different from the rest. I have blues and blacks and pinks yarn and going to get more today so I can tell you want the brand name it is.

I been working on saving my hands again. It seems my hands are older than I am these days, so I do work on simple things like Cell Phone Bags to pass the time away while I think about writing. I work with my hands and think about articles I want to write about it. It seems if my hands are busy then I think a bit clearer. Am I the only one who does things like this I wonder?

Anyway got a friend who wants to see what I have been working on and since I am thinking about selling these, I want your thoughts about these as well. I super dig this yarn!! Its out of Japan really fun to work with. I can't remember the name of it but I am going to get more today so I will be able to tell you want it is later on today. I do not change this yarn the colors you see is part of the yarn itself. That is why I think its so cute! Every Cell Phone Bag I make with this yarn will never been the same. Each Cell Phone Bag handcrafted with this yarn will not be the same.
My question to you is, what would you pay for a Cell Phone Bag that will always be an original?
Your Bag will never be the same as anyone else's! I have patterns for butterflies and flowers that I can make out of beads as well. To really make it yours! May even make it so I can put your name on it in beads. I got ideas, what do you think of my work?

I have given up on contests for a while at least. Here I am willing to give away a FREE TAMZ thats so neat but no one is willing to play along with my little game. Its simple, go to the store, find Oct 2006 Shop Etc magazine. Look close to the back for a page that has the image of TAMZ on it. Tell me the page number and guess what? The TAMZ is yours!
What is so hard about that? TAMZ is great for those who have baby fine hair that are forever standing up no matter how much hair spray you put on them. Its great to use on your bangs to get them to lay flat against your forehead so as to hide a high forehead. Its to great for helping keep your hair parted with making the top hairs lay flat. NOW?? Does anyone want to play along with my little game? If you find the page TAMZ is YOURS!!

Contest ends midnight Sept 30th!!

Two more days and the contest is done. I still do not have a winner!! Now how hard is it to find the magazine Shop Etc and find the page its one? How about I help you out with the image of what magazine you need to be looking for? I will work on that, but you need to get busy and find Shop Etc and tell me what page Tamz on.

I am thinking of doing more reviews as I get products to try out. I get some from other website owners who would like to offer their products on my website. I got Olivella that way. They contacted me and asked if I would be interested in offering their skin care line. It's smells like you are in a spa everytime I use it. And when I had hand lotion I would share it with others and thats the reaction I got from as well. Oh darn now I can't do that one. OH well..
Anyone has something they want me to review well its time to speak up! Ok its really super late and I got emails to answer. So stop on by Beauty-Blog by me and see what I thought about the body wash and body lotion/

Newest Secrets for Beautiful Eyes

Everyone has secrets for making sure their eyes are the number one item one sees when you mean them for the first time. This is a few tips on making sure your beautiful set of amazing eyes are your number one show off item today! Your eyes should be the focal point of your makeup. There are general rules for color depending on you. Here are a few ideas for finding the perfect look for you. The darker of the eyes, the deeper the eye product needs to be. Darker skin tends to absorb colors. You will need to use rich eye colors such as, Gold, deep grays, violets, coppers, navy and brown. For those who are light-eyed beauties, you should select taupe, light grays, ginger, khaki, and some blues. Experiment till you figure out colors work for you. Remember there are not true rules just simple ideas that have been found to be better over the years. When you are doing your eyes, it always good idea to keep a matte white eye shadow on hand. It will open the eyes, when applied on the inner eye, and it lifts the eyes when applied at the brow bone. It will also soften a harsh look resulting from a heavy hand. Ever wondered how to wake up sleepy eyes? How about applying navy mascara over your regular mascara? Concentrate on the tips and outer corners. Don’t have any? Simply dip your regular mascara into blue eye shadow and the coat. When doing your eye makeup after finishing your eye shadows, don’t forget to use a eyelash curler. It will make your eyes look wider, more alert and even more youthful. you have already put on your mascara. Your lashes could stick to the eye lash curler causing them to be pulled out when you try to remove your lashes from the eye lash curler. Many still seem to do it but It is just not a good idea to do. Quick tricks when using a eyelash curler. Go ahead and curl twice for a rounder curl. By placing the open curler near the lash roots and squeeze gently for thirty seconds. Squeeze again gently about 30 seconds about mid-length and your lashes with thank you. Then just go head and apply your favorite mascara. Do you realize that a good well-groomed eyebrow will perfectly frame your face? Did you also realize that you are missing an important beauty asset if your eyebrows are not properly groomed. A properly shaped brow makes your eyes look bigger and your cheekbones higher. Do not think that just because you may wear eye glasses, that a well groomed set of eyebrows are still seen, helping your eyes be noticed no matter what. A beautifully set of properly groomed eyebrows gives your face strength and expression. If you are going to take care of your own eyebrows, first have them done by someone who is trained in the field. The reason is she will be able to give you the right look with your eyebrows and teach you how to keep them groomed properly. Copyright 2006 Kim Snyder, owner Overallbeauty.com.
