Polish My Life Classic Cremes Winter Collection 2015

*Press Sample

Hello lovelies! Today I have a quick post on the Classic Cremes Winter Collection from Polish My Life!

This post is going to be quick because I really don't have much to say besides... these are AMAZING!

I can't even with the formula... Holy smokes! A lot of these could easily be 1 coaters but I like very thin coats so all of my swatches are 2 coats + topcoat! Onto the swatches!

The Alps

Vail

Tahoe

Telluride

The Rockies

It's no secret that I love neutrals and boy are these awesome! My favorite being The Rockies, *sigh* so perfect! These are fantastic for anyone who needs work appropriate colors, they apply like a dream and they have a great dry time I only waited about 45 seconds between coats lol. Polish My Life does cremes so well I can barely handle it!!! These are a must have!

These retail for $10 a piece or $48 for the set + sh.

10 Perfect Nails Cuticle Oil review

*Press Sample

Hello everyone! I hope you're well. Today I'm bringing you a cuticle oil review. You all know how much I love nail care and cuticle oils!

10 Perfect nails cuticle like is a blend of coconut oil, vitamin E oil, Jojoba oil, grapeseed oil and biotin.

I like to apply a small drop of oil and spread it around my cuticle with my clean up brush.

I then let it soak in for a bit anywhere from 5-15 minutes, or overnight when I'm feeling like my cuticles need extra pampering.

I've let the oil soak for 5 minutes and gave each finger a gentle rub. 10PN cuticle oil works great. Your fingers will be nice and moisturized! I'm currently loving this oil for overnight deep soaks. My skin was starting to take a turn with the sudden temp. change here. Lots of over night soaks for me please!

My (sample) bottle is in the scent Honey Almond, but it also comes in Peppermint, Lavender, Lemon, Jasmine, Mango Grapefruit, Coconut Ginger, Gardenia, Wild Orchid & White Tea and Japanese Cherry Blossom.

The cuticle oil retails for $4.75 for 15ml

She also has cuticle cream on her site in the Lemon scent. It retails for $5.99 for .25oz pot.

Custom ordering is available if you're allergic to any of the ingredients. 10 Perfect Nails are only available to ship within the US.

Holiday Collab Duo ft Dollish Polish & Polish My Life

*press sample

Hello lovelies! I hope you're doing well. I am finally feeling a bit better. I really hope it stays that way. Today I have a pretty Holiday Collab duo to share with you!

This duo contains a shade from Dollish Polish and a shade from Polish My Life.

Onto the polish!

First up Dollish Polish "Wild Currant Frost"

3 thin coats + topcoat. This is one pretty crelly! I love all of the berry shades that this one brings to the party.

Polish My Life Plumberry Sugar

Super pretty in the bottle and on the nail. This one left me with some staining, though I've heard that didn't happen to everyone. So, it could just be that my nails are super porous because they do stain, or my basecoat just wasn't good enough. So I'd double the basecoat just to be safe. The staining won't deter me from using this because it's so pretty. And the coats go on like butter.

If you're interested in this duo I'd grab it while you can because these are a limited supply. You can purchase the duo on December 4th on both Dollishpolish.com and Polishmylife.com

Thanks for hanging out with me! Until next time.

Xo, Lo

Lauren B Beauty swatch & review

*Press Sample

Hello everyone! I hope you're well. Today I have two beautiful polishes from Lauren B Beauty. Lbb is a new brand to me and I was really excited to try these out. Lbb carries polish and hand care including cuticle oil and a growth serum. They also have remover wipes and nourishing hand creme. Let's see the polishes!

Nude No.3

This is number 3 of 5 nudes in the Lauren b beauty line. I really like this shade. This is 2 creamy coats + topcoat.

Hollywood Blvd.

I love this topper! It's so fun with all of the bright shredded glitter. The base is a bit thin so sponging might be a better way to apply this one. The shards of glitter do stick to the nail nicely and I had no problems making this manicure smooth with two coats of topcoat. I think it's super pretty and could compliment a ton of base colors! I also like their sleek tall bottles. The brushes aren't too long or too short either. All in all I am a new Lbb fan!

Lauren B beauty polishes retail $18-$28 usd on www.Laurenbbeauty.com

Follow along on social media for future info and swatches!

Wouldn't Hollywood Blvd. be a fun topper for a new years mani? Sigh, I love ALL of the glitter... just give it all to me... I'll take it!

That's all for today lovelies. Thanks for hanging out with me! Until next time...

bb creme

NYC BB Creme & BB Radiance powder review

*press sample

Hey guys! Today I'm bring you a review on the NYC BB Creme Instant Matte in the shade 02 medium and BB Radiance powder in Naturally Beige. NYC also brought out a bb creme bronzed radiance but I skipped using that for this days make up. I wasn't feeling too great but hey sometimes I just want to wear make up and I wanted to try these out!

This bb creme is said to be hydrating while at the same time being matte. I wore one layer and it has a light but decent coverage. It has a very light feel and dried nicely. Definitely matte without being overwhelmingly matte.

*warning* this next photo is many HOURS later including a trip to the urgent care.... The look on my face is because I have strep throat and a super bad ear ache... Smudged mascara and all, I'm still going to share it because.... My face make up was still looking mostly decent!

Aren't you glad I warned you lol. Well let's move on from that and get into how well this bb creme and powder held up!

I didn't end up super oily like I have with other bb cremes. It did break down some but this was like 12 hours after the first pic was taken. I can't believe how much I like this to be honest. I'm glad I got to try these because they're great for day to day wear and they're price friendly. I also think these would be great to give any young girl who is just starting to get into make up and doesn't want a heavy full coverage foundation.

The only downfall I can find is the range of colors is very, very limited. Like 2 shades limited... for each of the bb cremes and the powder. I hope they add more to this line because for the inexpensive price, they're well worth it.

The NYC BB Cremes & Powders retail for $3.99 and can be found at drugstores and mass retailers nationwide.

I hope you enjoyed today's post! Thanks for hanging out with me. Until next time...

Rimmel Keep Calm Lip Balm

Hello everyone! I hope you're doing well!

Rimmel released 6 lip balms, the Keep Calm Lip Balms that are said to increase the moisture in your lips by 22% versus untreated lips. Today I have swatches of three of them!

Let's take a look at them and I'll let you know what I think.

Please excuse my blotchy skin... These were taken right on my return from being sick, but I wanted to show you what they looked like on my lips. Onto the balms!

Keep Calm and Shop: Clear

Keep Calm and Kiss: Pink blush

Keep Calm and Rock: Berry Blush

These balms are long lasting and did keep my lips moisturized. I wish the pink blush tint was a bit more opaque but for a balm it's decent. The only real downfall for me is the smell. I'm not sure it's scented, it didn't say it was anywhere... But they have a slight sweet chemical-y smell. I'm not sure if it wore off after a while or if I just got used to it, but it would definitely benefit with some sort of scent or absolutely none at all. These are super affordable and if a slight scent doesn't deter you I would give these a shot. I'm not sure how well these would work on severely dry lips. But for everyday I think I need a hint of color balms, I think these are ok.

Rimmel Keep Calm lip balm retails for $2.50usd and can be found at chain drugstores and mass retailers nationwide.

Are you a lip balm fan? Do you have a favorite tinted lip balm? Anything you think I should try?

Until next time!
