Physicians Formula Extreme Shimmer Eyeliners

I grabbed these without hesitation since the Physician's Formula Gel Liner Trio is my holy grail of the eyeliner world. From the Shimmer Strips collection I present 2 Custom Eye Enhancing Extreme Shimmer Eyeliner Trios . The Green Eyes collection presents purple, green and black. Blue Eyes are lined with black, brown and navy. Each of these shades have been metalized with silver micro-shimmer. @pf cosmetics Upper with flash. Lower without flash.

Surf Spray. Swatches from Revlon's Parfumerie.

This is a fun shade! Surf Spray *Yes, I have called it smurf spray by accident. A few times.* is part of Revlon's Parfumerie collection. This vibrant aqua lacquer is packed full of shimmer. It requires 3 coats for full opacity; I found 2 coats is quite streaky and even though the lacquer levels off it takes a while to dry. This is my second of 3 Parfumerie lacquers.

Sunbaker. Butter London's Statement Maker.

A shade that summons the beaches of Summer's past, it is perfect for a Fall fling, too... just make sure you're ok with one night stands because this shade chipped the very next day. About 12 hours to be exact. I applied 1 coat of basecoat but did not finish my nails with a topcoat. Sunbaker offers the rare 1 coat coverage but I preferred the second coat for a richer look. The shade is an amazing rusted orange shimmer. Not glitter, a fine golden shimmer. Because of the significant chipping, I rate Sunbaker 3.5 stars. It's not the first shade that I would grab if I were painting my nails the night before an event. xoxo •Nancy-Lee

Revlon Parfumerie lacquer, Moonlit Woods

Click image to enlarge for detail. This is my first of 3 Revlon Parfumerie nail polish reviews. These shades translate from the bottle to the nail perfectly. The scent, the scent is a spicy floral, comes after the lacquer starts to dry and lasts for about 12 hours. I did not find it overpowering but it was noticeable. Moonlit Woods is a gorgeous metallic steel purple. This formula is thin which causes a sheer, streaky finish. I applied 3 coats to reach the full opacity I was looking for, though, disappointingly it started to wear off the edges by the first nights end. I did not apply a top coat because I did not want it to interfere with the scent . Wearing for 3 days, it was very easy to remove and did not stain my nails. I must admit that I love the vessel! There is something awesome about the shape and size of the jar and knob top, which I find comfortable to hold. I rate Moonlit Woods 3.5 stars out of 5. While the shade is beautiful, I wish this lacquer offered 2 coat cov...

Josie Maran : Blemishes R Gone Argan Acne Clearing Pads

Back in June 2012 I made a haul which included Blemishes R Gone Argan Acne Clearing Pads by Josie Maran. I didn't use them ri g ht away, which is why this review is coming 7 months later. As an adult acne su fferer I am looking for a new product to add to my arsenal because my current acne fighting favourite is no longer sold.  

100% Pure; Organic Dark Chocolate Mocha Body Scrub

I like the philosophy behind this product a little more then the product its self. Like all 100% pure products, the smell is intoxicating - you do want to eat it - a mix of chocolate and coffee grounds. The scrubbing particles are good and robust and do not dissolve once they hit your moist skin. The downside is, it does leave a brown residue on my skin, so I have to scrub first and wash second. Also, I have to spend a fair amount of time cleaning my shower... The shea butter mixes with the dirt and soap on your shower floor making it super slippery if you're not careful. I have purchased it twice, once to try and the second time they were sold out of my Strawberry Lemonade, but i wouldn't go out of my way to buy it as a staple.  Probably my least favourite of 100% Pure's scrub collection, I rate this 3.5 out of 5 stars.
