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 …

Review, Before/After Photos: Mē Smooth Hair Removal System: Best Device For All Skintones: Underarms, Bikini Line, Legs, Arms

Who wouldn’t want to be hair-free in just 7 weeks? After years of shaving and waxing to achieve smooth, hair-free results, I contemplated laser treatments (for my underarms and bikini area) but it’s just too darn expensive!

Well, about 4 weeks ago I received a great gift to test out: the revolutionary Mē Smooth System! ($395.00 at www.mepower.com Sephora and QVC). This is the FIRST FDA-cleared, dermatologist-approved and clinically proven hair removal system that is safe for ALL SKINTONES.

Even those with the darkest skintone can use this system. The Mē Smooth …

Makeup Review, Before/After Photos, Swatches: Dior Diorskin Airflash Spray Foundation: In 10 Shades

Truthfully, I have been wanting to try the Diorskin Airflash Spray Foundation ($62.00) for ages, but was timid to because I had heard it can get on your clothing, scalp, etc. I also heard that you have to shake the product vigorously each and every time in order for it to apply well.

Makeup Review, Before/After Photos, Swatches: Ole Henriksen Perfect Truth CC Crème, Eye Crème: Best Cream For Dark Spots, Redness: 2013

While on Sephora‘s “What’s New” page online, I stumbled across the new Ole Henriksen Perfect Truth CC Crème ($36.00). I went to my local store and asked for a sample, as it had just launched!
Upon application, it felt delightfully light on my skin and has a Broad Spectrum SPF 30 to boot! I really do like the way Color Correctors (CC) work, as I notice results immediately.

I am a fan of the Ole Henriksen line already, as they have vitamin C in their products – a key ingredient that acts as a natural skin …

Makeup Review, Swatches: Susan Posnick ColorMe Mineral Color Powder – For Face And Eyes

I have been told many times — by many different people — that a woman without color on her cheeks lacks pizzazz. Well, I’d be lying if I told you that I believed that… I don’t think it has anything to do with color on your cheeks, but I do LOVE blush.
Blush adds a little flush of color to your cheeks. I especially love when a blush has a multi-use function, like being able to apply it as an eyeshadow.

Susan Posnick has done it again with another awesome product: ColorMe …

I am a huge fan of the Ole Henriksen Truth Collection, and use many of their products in my daily routine, so I was delighted when asked to review the New Pure Truth Youth Activating Oil ($45.00). It smells absolutely delicious! I know that vitamin C always plays a large part in the Ole Henriksen line, as it’s a natural skin brightener.
This oil has pure, unfiltered, unprocessed and cold pressed rose hips oil to maintain its highest potency — activating the skin’s natural reparative abilities. Vitamin A, C and essential fatty …
