Product Review: Revlon ColorStay Nail Polish

Via TheLadida

I have been searching forever for the perfect shade of blue nail polish for the summer. I happened to see this at a 1/2 off, going out of business sale and thought it might be nice. What I wasn't expecting was the most impressive nail polish formula ever. The color is great (Coastal Surf...it looks a touch lighter and more aqua here) but this Revlon ColorStay Polish goes on beautifully. One coat is almost enough by itself. It stays super shiny for WEEKS and it literally does not chip for WEEKS either (I only had it on my toes though...). This stuff is amazing! It looks fresh and crisp forever and is so maintenance-free it's ridiculous. Plenty of colors to chose from (30!) and reasonably priced, as opposed to many of the brands coming out lately. Get it here!

Product Review: Malibu Heat Beach Glow Body Lotion

I've recently developed a serious Bath and Body Works addiction out of nowhere. Between the summer and the sales and the smells, I cannot help myself! In my latest haul I stumbled upon the Malibu Heat Beach Glow Body Lotion, highly recommended by the staff, and decided on a whim to purchase it. So glad I did! It's a bronzer, which isn't evident in the name; probably because it doesn't so much turn you brown as give you a nice warm glow and takes you up just a few shades. It looks very natural and goes on smoother than any other bronzer I've ever applied. Seriously! No streaking, no blotches. It has a lovely, creamy, pearlescent texture and smells like Malibu (oranges, pineapples, coconut). That said, it is glittery. Very glittery. But the glitter is very small in size. More of a shimmer really. Gold in color. Not for everyone but I happen to love some shimmer on sexy bare legs for a summer night out. Makes them look very sleek and toned. Super moisturizing. It's a body lotion first and foremost, with a few summery perks thrown in for good measure. Great product! My legs have never looked better and I will definitely be a repeat customer. Buy it here!

Product Review: MAC Prep + Prime Translucent Finishing Powder

I cannot help but sing the praises of this glorious product (and MAC isn't paying me to either!). Seriously, if you are in search of a great finishing and setting powder this may be your HG.

Product Review: Mint Julep Masque

Today we're talking about a product that I have fallen in love with in the past 9 months: Queen Helene's Mint Julep Masque. I'm not being paid to sell this product (I wish) I just honestly enjoy it and wanted to share it with you.

If you have oily skin this is a great option. Beware because different types of clays are used for different skin types and skin issues. Didn't notice a huge difference right off the bat. But then I used it twice a week for 3 weeks and my pores looked smaller and my skin looked much cleaner and purer. Literally, I ran into an ex at an event that 3rd week and even he commented (twice) on how glowing my skin looked. (I told him it was a new mask but he didn't seem too inclined to believe that so I told him it was my new boyfriend.)

But seriously, it's a great little product, it's cheap, it works. So when you're feeling like your skin is starting to look a little grainy and greasy and could use a deep cleaning, slather this on for 15 minutes. I stick to twice a week when my skin is needing some help, otherwise, once a week. I'm also prone to cysts and it has really cut down on those as well. Deep-cleaning your skin and pulling out those impurities is actually really important and helpful. Pick it up here and give it a try!
