Review, Before/After Photos, Swatches: Ciaté Corrupted Neons Manicure Set: How To Apply Glow-In-The-Dark Neon Nail Polish

Being that I had such a ball with both the Chalkboard and Very Colourfoil Manicure Sets from Ciaté, I actually requested to try out this new Corrupted Neons Manicure Set ($25.00)!
My daughter and I tend to write words with invisible ink like Trust, Faith, etc. on our inner arms, so I already had a black light to see the glowing effect!

Hot neon shades by day light up the night, with the corrupted top coat allowing the polish to glow under UV lights. I know other companies have created cosmetics to …

Makeup Review, Swatches: Lancôme Color Design Eye Brightening All-In-One 5 EyeShadow & Liner Palette – New Peach Opulence Shade

I love when a cosmetic palette comes with suggested instructions on where to place their colors! I find that so very helpful and even if you use the colors any which way you’d like to, at least you know one was created for an overall base, another for the crease, another to be used as a highlighter, etc. Lancôme Paris Color Design Eye Brightening All-In-One 5 Shadow & Liner Palettes ($49.00) do just that!
Not only can these shadows be applied wet or dry, but they are formulated with vitamin E, …

Makeup Review, Designs: Essie Sleek Stick Nail Art Decal Collection – How To Apply Nail Stickers

It was inevitable that Essie would come out with their own nail appliques/stickers (shown in So Haute! above). Nail art is bigger than ever, and I truly wondered why Essie had not done these when Sally Hansen introduced their Salon Effects (yes, my obsession!) — I do believe Essie waited to find the right time to launch.

Once, a fellow BeautyStat writer e-mailed me a pic from her local drugstore showcasing the new Essie’s Sleek Stick Collection. I felt my adrenaline pumping faster and faster! I knew I had to get my hands …

There’s something to be said about seeing natural gray-silver, uncolored hair. For the second time in my life, I actually stopped a woman to let her know how very gorgeous I thought her hair was.

Makeup Review, Swatches: Essie Repstyle Magnetic Nail Polish Collection

Meeting Essie Weingarten, founder of Essie, back in September was a real treat for me — we got along beautifully. There was a time that I remember only seeing Essie‘s polishes in most salons and spas, and have always admired her clean ad campaigns and the catchy names of her polishes.

Essie & Nicole
Since being bought by L’Oréal a few years back, I had hoped the company would keep Essie polishes as they were… and, sure enough, they did! The brand Essie is still everywhere I go and her campaigns are as witty …

How Do Nail Hardeners And Strengtheners Work: The Best Cuticle Hydrators To Treat Dry, Brittle Nails

Autumn leaves have started to fall. Calm winds gently creep in and so does the cold weather, resulting in dry, cracked skin and nails. So, as I was unpacking my woolen clothes and warm socks a couple of days ago, I looked at my hands: dry and chapped nails? Many of us face the same problem. With loss of moisture our nails get dry and dull, lose their luster and shine and get brittle, too. There are lots of products out there likely to give you harder and stronger nails, …
