Steel City Reflections – Mary Sanderson Swatches

Steel City Reflections Mary Sanderson Swatch - Swatches Natural Light

I reviewed Winifred Sanderson, one of the sister polishes to Mary Sanderson a while back.  It is part of a trio by Steel City Reflections, a local Hamilton based indie nail polish company.  Now I have Mary Sanderson for you.  It is described as a blood red holo polish with larger burnt orange holo glitter. Against […]

Why I Choose Batiste Dark & Deep Dry Shampoo

I have really thick long hair and drying and straightening takes a while, so dry shampoo is a must-have in my life.  Anything that helps me go an extra day without my hair just being in a greasy top-knot has to be a good thing.  But not all dry shampoos are created equal and with […]

China Glaze Elfin Around Gradient Nails

We are moving in a little over six weeks and have been sorting all of our belongings so that we are not moving stuff we don’t move.  It happened when we moved here and some stuff is still in a box in the closet “to do something with”.  My nails, however, are suffering from all […]

Get Your Feet Summer Ready With Footlogix Medical

Footlogix Intensive Care Moisturizing Mousse

Zoya Lake Swatches & Review

Zoya Lake Review and Swatches

When I saw Zoya Lake in person, I knew I had to have it,  Lake appears almost grey in some light and more blue in others making it very wearable.  Zoya Lake is part of the 2016 Whispers collection which arrived in stores in early February. When I saw the press release for this collection, […]
