Fit Skin for Life with Mama Mio. A skincare haul.

I am a sucker for deals. One morning @MamaMio tweets, ' Spend $45 and you will receive a full size, Clean Slate Cleanser, for Free .' You know me, I'm all over free and this free was worth $32.00! I quickly look through the Mama Mio site on the hunt for something exactly $45 or as close to it as possible .... And fate stepped. I was in the market for a neck firming product and low and behold I discover Nexercise , a firming neck and jawline concentrate for $45!

Girls Run the World but I'm running for remover.

Girls might run the world but this shade had me running for remover. I think I got a bad bottle; it was separated with very thick purple pigment on the bottom and a very thin, water-like ingredient on top. I shook and shook and shook the bottle to mix the varnish and thought I did a pretty good job right up to the point of application. What looks purple dried a matte, cranberry t one; It was NOT the same shade represented in the bottle. The second coat o f Nasty Girl dragged some of the first, off. The third took a very long time to dry and I ended up smudging three of my nails. I decided to add a 4th coat for this photo and it just looked too thick. *sigh* No, I will not be wearing this again. Did you purchase the Girls r un the World set? Did you experience any issues with this or any other shade ? xoxo •Nancy-Lee

I am all about orange right now. I love it. I almost crave it. I do crave it. Countess Colour Pigments .

Celebrating the Festival of Colour with a Stila Cosmetics haul

I am the first to admit, I am not a huge makeup girl. I don't usually go gaga over cosmetics but I have really been into brights lately. I can't seem to get enough pinks, purples, oranges, blues and greens so when I received an email from Stila announcing a few new products, I found myself instantly smitten.
