You know when you find a product that you just have to tell every body about? This is that product. Meet The Silver Soap from Cor. This is truly unlike any skincare product that I have used. Don't think of it as another facial soap - T hink of it as a former tube of creamy foaming cleanser which has been dehydrated . Trial Size

Wow. This is an amazing shade. The way the copper dances off of the cobalt is truly an intergalactic experience. One of the more expensive lines of polish that I own, Ray of Light is an electric indigo nail lacquer that is part of the 3D Holographic collection that is proportionately speckled with copper glitter. I start and finish as usual: First one coat of Nail Foundation form Butter LONDON and I top it all of with Hardware top coat. In between, I started with my first coat of Ray of Light. It went on with a gel-like consistency. It was goopy but not in a dried-out way. It was more like the product was a bit separated even after a through mixing. I waited about one minute and applied the second coat. I could see the same goopy consistency as I pulled the brush from the bottle but like magic, it smoothly and evenly melded together providing a gorgeous finish.

This is one of those wooohooo purchases. I *knew* I spotted these 'somewhere' and was super excited to score them at CVS last week on a Buy1Get1 50% off sale. See, I grabbed a set of MAC Ruffian press-on nails in DemiLune and they are pre-glued. Hoping to make my $24 investment go beyond one wear, I was actively looking for glue strips sold separately and was pretty confident that I would find them in either a drugstore or a beauty supply store. From Nailene, this 24 tab set retails for $3.19 per set and is said to wear for 5 days. I'm not planning on wearing my press-on's that long but it makes me feel better knowing they will not pop off at an inopportune time.

Reporting for Duty: We're Locked+Loaded with this universally flattering iridescent brown. It is the first in a series of four army-themed loose powder eyeshadow pigments created exclusively with BeautyARMY. Not a rich mocha, this shade is more of a fawn satin with a touch of gold and the tiniest kiss of mauve taupe. This final hue is not noticeable once the shadow is applied and you might not have detected it had I not said something. Shimmering without glitter or frost, Locked+Loaded provides best results when when you start with an eyeshadow primer. Sprinkle some of the Locked+Loaded into the cap and dip your applicator using a swirling motion to pick up product and...

  A refined, chic, greige. I couldn't have said it better myself. This is exactly what I would e nvision if you told me to mix beige and gray. With a creamy opaque finish Miss Fancy Pants covers evenly with only 2 coats. I have noticed that essie polishes tend to thicken during the application process. By the time I get to my 8th finger on coat one, the brush seems to be a tad goopy. Even when I close the bottle and wait a minute or two between coats, it is still thicker than when I started. With that being said, it has never wrecked my finish, the polish is always streak-free and even. I am only wearing two coat of Miss Fancy Pants - no base or top coat. This fabulous shade is the ultimate neutral; not nude and boring but not too industrial either. This full size glass bottle retails for $8.00 and is available at your favourite drugstores and chain-store salons. I rate Miss Fancy Pants 4.5 out of 5 stars . If you're looking for a different kind of neutral nail, this polish...

I had the pleasure of attending M•A•C Glamour Daze holiday 2012 event with the uber fabulous Franci, editor of The Fashion Palate . We lived the ultimate big girl dream: sipping grapefruit laced cocktails & nibbling on canapes, we swatched, tested and played with makeup! Hamming it up with the staff!

Coral Poppy, Pink Tulip and Summer Ros e. See my review with swatches of Coral Poppy, here ! A few days ago I reviewed Coral Poppy, a spirited reddish orange, a perfect compliment to the colour of the year. I have since ha d the opportunity to review 2 more shades of Sk i nn Cosmetic's Twin Set: Pink Tulip and Summer Rose. Just like the Coral Poppy, I found t hese full size lipsticks to be just as creamy and rich with quite an opaque velvet finish. The other end of the perfectly palm-sized container reveals a beautiful gloss that I swatched alone and over the included lipstick giving me a shiny pout. It is packed with Vitamin E, Soy and Aloe to soothe even the driest of lips.
