I don't think I've seen this polish before. I'll have to keep my eye out for it! Thanks for the post!

So I guess you can say I like the idea of potted flowers better except fresh cut flowers look better in vases. Does that even make sense? :P I'm not particular to a certain flower but I've always loved the look of calla lilies and lilies in general. Love how simple they look. :) I love fresh cut flowers but I always feel bad that having them around means a plant out there is missing its reproductive system and that doesn’t really sit well with me.

]]> Comment on Shiseido The Skincare Day Moisture Protection Enriched SPF 15 Cream Review & Pictures by Carmela http://www.swatchandlearn.com/shiseido-the-skincare-day-moisture-protection-enriched-spf-15-cream-review-pictures/#comment-117079 Carmela Wed, 22 Feb 2012 21:13:01 +0000 http://www.swatchandlearn.com/?p=29051#comment-117079 I'm so glad you're enjoying this! I'm still trying to finish a Garnier Moisture Rescue (which I'm actually thinking of repurchasing as I love the texture of it!) and the last of my Clinique Dramatically Different stash before breaking out my own jar of this. I do like to rotate my moisturizers depending on the season or the state of my face. I had a bout of really bad skin months when I tried a Neutrogena moisturizer that didn't work well for me at all. I switched to Clinique after that fiasco in an effort to calm down my angry skin. It worked. Since then, I've been cautious with picking new products to try. The Garnier one, my mom in law got as a sample and gave to me (it's a full-sized sample!). I find it might be even better to use during the hot summer months as it has this really neat cooling effect. I also tend to use moisturizer with higher SPF during the summer.

I would totally not put it past Gaga to don a frog inspired outfit. In fact, I'm pretty sure it would be more stylish that that infamous meat dress! This is actually a really pretty green. I like the dusty, almost soft quality it has. It's vibrant but not in your face. Really enjoying these new versions of pastel shades for sure! Thanks for the laugh!

It's such a great color to throw on top a mani. I usually only use it if I'm not feeling a design 100%. Put on some GE, and it pulls the look together in an instant! :D Golden Enchantment is one of my favorite polishes! It’s such a great color to throw on top a mani.

I have other glitter polishes that I feel ruin the base color (or limit your options for layering combinations) because of the tinted base. But as far as holographic glitter goes, that's a win every time! I love to add glitter to my tips to mask wear if I really like a particular color. But if the finish isn't banged up at all, I tend to just file my nails down so the color looks fresh again. I've recently gotten such a kick out of crackle polishes that I feel like I'm the absolute last person to enjoy it. Lol! I’m not a fan of that yellow tinted base.
