Impress Nails Review
I'm going to make this short and sweet: I did NOT like these nails. I don't know if it was just the fact that they were too long on my nails or if I didn't put them on right, but they were not fun. They were difficult to work with and then they were difficult to wear. I was not a fan, and I am glad that I didn't spend a bunch of money on them. Have you every tried these?

Naughty Bath Fizzy Review
Here is the promised Review of Fortune Cookie Soap's Naughty Bath Fizzy. First off, let me say that I loved how this smells. I honestly don't know what it smells like, but it's GOOD. That was a definite plus.
What you do with this is drop it into your bath water and it fizzes up, changing the color of your water and fizzing the whole time it dissolves. It also released the same smell that it had before.
The downside: This made a black ring ALL over my tub. I had to get out and clean it so that it didn't look like it hadn't been cleaned in forever. Now, it did come off pretty quickly, but the black color did mean I had to immediately clean it, which I feel like kind of defeats the purpose of using this fizzy to relax.
Overall, I would give this bath fizzy 3/5 stars. It smells great, it's an adorable concept, but for me it just wasn't worth having to clean my tub right after. If the smell had been to die for, then maybe it would have been worth cleaning up after.
**Don't get me wrong, I still love the company.

Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Shampoo and Conditioner Review
Garnier Fructis has a new shampoo and conditioner. It's called Triple Nutrition. It's meant for people with dry, damaged hair, which is definitely me. I've always got split ends. Boo. I decided to try this out and see if it lives up to what it claims.
What it claims: Made of weightless avocado, olive, and shea oils, Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Shampoo and Conditioner is for magnified shine and hair so healthy, it bounces back to life.
How I thought it worked: I wasn't a huge fan of the scent on the shampoo, but the conditioner smelled fruitier and nice :) The smell stayed for quite a while (until I drown down the freeway with my windows open!). My hair felt really soft and nice today, and while the shampoo kind of made my hair tangled in the shower, it was easy to work with throughout the day. This was a good shampoo and conditioner to try!
Would I buy this? Actually, Yes. Honestly, every Garnier product that I've bought in the past has been a dud. This one was definitely an exception to that. It smelled great, and my hair felt great after I used this. I would definitely think about buying this again when I run out of my current shampoo and conditioner.

Taylor Swift Wonderstruck Enchanted Perfume Review
Taylor Swift has a new perfume out called Wonderstruck Enchanted. It's a spin off of her original fragrance, Wonderstruck. The original Wonderstruck came in a pretty purple bottle and had little charms dangling from the top of the bottle.
Wonderstruck Enchanted is a little bit different this time around. While the bottles look identical, the color of the bottle itself is now red. It's super pretty, and it still has the charms dangling from the top, although they are different charms.
I honestly couldn't tell you the difference between the two scent-wise because I don't own the original, even though I wish I did. I remember smelling the original, and it had a tinge of fruityness with a bunch of floral scent. I think this one is the opposite, because it was VERY fruity, and kind of sugary smelling, but it had a floral hint to it as well.
As far as the scent goes, it smells amazing! I really loved it, but I wasn't super impressed with how long it stayed on my skin for. Granted, I put it on in the morning, and then walked 15 minutes to class in 105 degree heat, so that could be a major factor. I think these two scents should have been flip-flopped. I prefer fruitier scents in the Spring and summer and the more floral scents in the fall and winter. It still smells amazing though, and I think I'm going to get this scent since I never ended up buying the original purple bottle.
Have you smelled this new fragrance? And would you buy it?

The Dark Knight Rises-Day After Review
How was the Dark Knight Rises you ask? AMAZING!!!
Since it is still the same day of it's premiere, I thought that I would give you a couple of my thoughts devoid of any spoilers.
First off, I went to the midnight premiere with my friend. She loves the Batman franchise, whereas I was really just there for the fun of going to a premiere. That being said, I didn't know much about the Dark Knight trilogy, but the movie did a great job giving back story where it was needed. I had no problem understanding what was going on at all.
Also, to anyone who has no faith in Anne Hathaway as catwoman, you will be amazingly pleased. My friend that went with me didn't want Hathaway to play catwoman, but she told me later on that she felt that Hathaway had exceeded expectations and done an amazing job.
The movie itself was a little long (almost three hours) but I think it is necessary in order to set up the movie and complete the action. There was a lot of action, in general. I wasn't bored at any point, or feeling like they needed to speed things up. And the end of the movie is exciting, unexpected (for me at least) and the perfect ending to the movie.
If you get the chance, go see it. I haven't seen Magic Mike yet, even though everyone is raving about it, but I can guarantee that The Dark Knight Rises is much more worth your time and money (at least in my opinion).
I've only had about 3 hours of sleep because I went to the premiere, so I'm sorry that this isn't the most entertaining post to date, but by tomorrow, I'll start getting back on my normal kinds of posts :)
