Anastasia Beverly Hills Lash Genius Clear Waterproof Topcoat Review

March 30, 2012

This new product from Anastasia is really something that is innovative and different. It is a clear waterproof topcoat for your lashes. If you have ever wanted your favorite mascara to be waterproof, this is the product to make that happen. I always love the regular formula of my favorite mascaras, but I hate the waterproof. The waterproof formula will always make my lashes come down which drives me crazy. So this is an alternative that may work for you as it did for me.

Really happy that I found products that are now included in my regular makeup routine. Let me know if there are any that you have tried or use frequently!

Stila Cosmetics Convertible Color in Gerbera - Swatch and Review

March 27, 2012

I haven't used too much of Stila Cosmetics, but this Convertible Color that I got recently seems to be a new favorite of mine. This is a dual lip and cheek cream and comes in 9 different colors. I don't use a lot of cream blush, so I was already thinking this product was not going to be much use to me. Now that I have used it, I have completely changed my mind about cream blush.

Gillette Venus & Olay Razor Review

March 24, 2012

This Gillette Venus & Olay razor was another product that was included in my Influenster voxbox. This is the first time ever that Gillette and Olay have come together to make a gold standard in a razor. I have used this a couple of times since I got it, so I think now is a good time to do a review.

OCC Lip Tars Have New Packaging!

March 19, 2012

When I went The Makeup Show LA this weekend, I saw that OCC has finally re-designed their packaging on their lip tars! Hooray! I actually got this one (Anime) in my bloggers preview bag of products. No more slant tip, this one is more slimmer and defined so you don't get too much product. No more worrying about leakage in your makeup storage/bag! :)

This is so great! See all the OCC lip tars here.  What do you think of the new packaging? Let me know!

Kiss Nail Dress Fashion Strips Review

March 17, 2012

Kiss has recently came out with these new nail fashion strips and, as you saw in my previous post, I received them in my Influenter Voxbox. I was really interested in trying these out since I hardly paint my nails. I was hoping that these would give me a really cute nail design without me actually having to use nail polish. I suck at nail design so these seem like a better option. How were they are how long did they last? Click read more below to see.

NOTD - Sephora by OPI Betsy Johnson Too Too Scented Nail Colour

March 12, 2012

Photo provided by my friend. Her nails. :)

 Here is a bright pink nail polish that will make sure your nails are ready for Spring. This one is a Sephora exclusive and designed by Betsy Johnson called It's My Pink!. The interesting thing about this nail color is that it's scented with Betsy Johnson's Too Too fragrance. 

 The color is a opaque hot pink and 2 coats was enough. Once it dries, it does indeed smell like the fragrance. It's more if you smell them really close, but it's a nice addition in the polish. 

This Betsy Johnson nail colour is limited edition and available at Sephora stores and online for $9.50.

Aveeno Positively Radiant Skin Brightening Daily Scrub Review

March 6, 2012

I had ran out of my Aveeno Ultra Calming Foaming Cleanser, and went out to actually but another bottle because I love it so. While I was at Target though, I saw this Skin Brightening Daily Scrub and thought I would give it a try to help with getting rid of my dry skin. My face has been extra dry lately, and I'm thinking from this crazy weather in Los Angeles lately. It's been really hot and then the next day super cold. I have been using this for two and a half weeks now, so I'm ready to review.

NOTD - China Glaze Dress Me Up

March 1, 2012

I finally have a NOTD post and this one is featuring China Glaze Dress Me Up from the Capitol Colors collection.

This color is described by CG as "A stripped down dark rose pink crème". I love that it's not completely a nude brown, since it has a rose pink color to it. It is definitely opaque as I expected from China Glaze. I love all the polishes from this collection, I only own two so far and I need the rest. Haha. 

Do you own any from the Capitol Colors collection? Let me know!
