China Glaze Golden Enchantment Swatches & Review (Layered Over Cult Nails In A Trance)

China Glaze Golden Enchantment Swatches & ReviewWhile looking through some old folders on my computer, I found a manicure I wore quite a while ago.

The flash photos didn’t look so hot, but since I had a bunch of other photos in different lighting, I thought it was still worth sharing with you.

It’s an oldie, but a goodie – China Glaze Golden Enchantment!

In this post, you’ll see it layered over Cult Nails In A Trance, which I’ve previously reviewed. I think that Golden Enchantment looks the best layered over olive greens.

China Glaze Golden Enchantment lives up to its name. The holographic glitter makes an excellent top coat that transforms your base colour into something truly magical!

China Glaze Gaga For Green Swatches & Review

China Glaze Gaga For Green Swatches & ReviewWhen I first heard of China Glaze Gaga For Green, thoughts of Lady Gaga dressed as a frog on a glittertastic lily pad came to mind.

Although Gaga For Green isn’t that dramatic, I still really loved wearing it because of how fresh and clean it looked. Plus the formula didn’t croak. ;) It applied well.

Shiseido The Skincare Day Moisture Protection Enriched SPF 15 Cream Review & Pictures

Shiseido The Skincare Day Moisture Protection Enriched SPF 15 Cream Review & PicturesEver since using a Neutrogena moisturizer and not being too impressed, I’ve been on the lookout for an effective daytime moisturizer.

The Shiseido The Skincare Day Moisture Protection Enriched SPF 15 Cream sure is a mouthful, but it’s worth saying!

I really love this daytime moisturizer because it feels great on the face, it isn’t greasy, it absorbs well, it hydrates like a dream, it works well under makeup, and it even has SPF 15.

Yeah, if that’s not enough raving, I don’t know what it’ll take to convince you that this Shiseido moisturizer is amazing! (And what’s even more amazing is that my friend, Carmela, from Polished Indulgence was able to find it at a warehouse sale for just $28 CAD!)

However, there’s one thing I found out about it that made me deduct a point from the Final Verdict score. Otherwise, it would be my holy-grail daytime moisturizer. Wondering what it is? Find out!

February 2012 Topbox Review & Pictures

February Topbox Review & PicturesAfter receiving a complimentary Topbox back in November with a full-size Deborah Lippmann nail polish that made me squeal more than Wilbur at the thought of bacon, I had to sign up for the service!

The February 2012 Topbox arrived a few days ago, and when I saw the cylindrical container, my heart skipped a beat. I was so excited to see what top products were waiting for me this time.

Are you curious, too?

I took the February Topbox aside and asked if it would be brave enough to bare it all for my readers. At first, it seemed reluctant, but then when I brought the camera out, it was full-on supermodel diva mode! Heck, it was even ‘smeyesing’ as Tyra Banks would say.

Despite all the pomp and circumstance, was I impressed? There’s only one way to find out!

Cake It's a Slice Smoothing Brown Sugar Body Scrub Review & PicturesHave you ever used a body scrub before? The Cake It’s a Slice Smoothing Brown Sugar Body Scrub was my first!

I love how most of the ingredients are natural. And I think that this product will appeal to a lot of people because it’s formulated without parabens, mineral oil, petrolatum, and other ingredients.

During the winter, my upper arms can get dry, even when the skin on the rest of my body is fine. So I test-drove this Cake body scrub on just my upper arms to see how well it worked.

Let me tell you more about this Cake body scrub!
