Foodstirs Review- June 2017

Foodstirs is a monthly baking subscription box that ships baking mix kits straight to your door!  The kits contain only organic and non-GMO ingredients, and best of all, the company was founded by Sarah Michelle Geller :)  Each kit costs $19.99/ month with free shipping.  You may still be able to use the code MSA30 (from mysubscriptionaddiction.com) to get a 3-month subscription for $29.00 which is basically half off (normally 3 months would cost ~60.00).

This months recipe is for Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes!  Each kit comes with a recipe card and nutrition info.  Read more after the jump!

Green Nail Polish Comparisons

I wasn't a fan of green nail polish until recently.. I never thought that I would end up with six different green shades! See below:


Indoors without the flash:

L to R: Essie- Turquoise and Caicos, Essie- First Timer, Essie- Mojito Madness, Pomegranate- Enchanted Lagoon, Pomegranate- Royal Brat, China Glaze- Kiwi Cool-Ada

Essie- First Timer

I could not wait to purchase this color.  This is really the only Essie color that I have been interested in purchasing since their winter collection.  It definitely didn't disappoint, it was just different than expected.  This color was exactly what I was hoping Mojito Madness would be.  A medium Kelly green.  Not exactly light.  Always remember to take into account that the nail polish will be 2-3 shades darker than it looks in the bottle.  Anyway, the formula was phenomenal! Very smooth and creamy.  Definitely a one coater.  I wish that Essie would make all of their formulas this way.  Anyway.. onto the pictures! All pictures show two coats of First Timer + 1 coat of seche vite.  My cuticles are a mess, you have been warned!

Essie- First Timer, indoors, without the flash.
