The Body Shop Summer Essentials

The Body Shop Summer Essentials Mango Sorbet - Mango Sugar Scrub - Peppermint Pumice Foot Scrub

Last week I shared some of The Body Shop’s Summer Essentials for your face and today I have some of my favourites for the body to share.  Summer is all about fresh looking skin and since I am pale and need to fake tan, major exfoliation!  On top of that, spending the summer in sandals […]

Cirque Dear Dahlia Swatch & Nail Art

Cirque Dear Dahlia Swatch Stamped

Taking a break from the alphabet nails series this week to share a retired shade from Cirque with some nail stamping.  I wore this last week and had to take some photos to share. Cirque Dear Dahlia is a fuchsia jelly with multi-dimensional shimmer that shows mostly green but has gold to red shifts.  The shimmer […]

Purple Smoosh Mani with Avon Purplicious, Lavender Sky & Sterling

Avon Sterling - Lavender Sky - Purplicious - Swatch Stamped

I loved the smoosh mani I did with the CND Flirtation collection and since the Canadian Beauty Bloggers theme of the month is purple, decided to go for another smoosh for Mani Monday.  This time I used three Avon Gel Finish polishes, Purplicious (darker purple), Lavender Sky (lighter purple) and Sterling (silver shimmer) over a […]

Smoosh Stamped Manicure with CDN Vinylux Flirtation Collection

CND Vinylux Flirtation Smoosh Mani Stamped Closeup

Do you remember the CND Vinylux polishes I got with my #CNDRescueKit?  I was sorting my recent polishes and just had to use these again so decided on a smoosh mani using all four of the CND Vinylux Flirtation collection polishes.  While pretty, I like something more so added some stamping using a similar blue […]

The Body Shop Summer Essentials For Your Face

The Body Shop Summer Essentials Honey Bronzer and Drops of Youth

We all have things we can’t live without and while some are staples for us, others change by the season.  Bronzer for example is a summer must have for me so I don’t look like a ghost while all year round, I look for anything to help my skin which likes to take combination to […]

Sinful Colors Queen of Beauty

Sinful Colors Queen of Beauty over Quo Turquoise Moonlight Swatch Sunlight

I own a single polish with a name starting with Q and it is not the most exciting choice for #alphabetnails.  Sinful Colors Queen of Beauty is a plain silver glitter in a clear base.  No holo, just smallish silver glitter.  There is nothing wrong with it, just with so many colourful polishes it seems […]

International Cat Day Nail Art

International Cat Day Nail Art - Stamped Cat Paws Nail Art Swatch - Quo Barely There

It is International Cat Day and that calls for some kitty themed nail art! The first look is simpler, a stamped look using a single stamping image from Bundle Monster’s BM-S162 plate using Quo Barely There and the brown shimmer polish from one of the first sets of Mariposa polish I reviewed.  Since it is […]

Avon So Very Sofia Fragrance + Matching DIY Nail Wraps

Avon So Very Sofia Fragrance Review

Avon recently sent me their latest fragrance to try out, So Very Sofia by Sofia Vergara.  It promises a bold and feminine fragrance with top notes of passion fruit, base notes of herbal patchouli along with delicate Flor de Mayo Orchid, the national flower of Colombia, Sofia Vergara’s native country. I will admit that I […]

Watermelon Day Nailart with Bourjois So Laque Peach & Love

Watermelon Nail Art Bourjois Peachy MdU Forest Swatch

Natural Light – Direct Sunlight I was torn between wanting to do watermelon nail art for Watermelon Day (we really do have a day for everything) and my regular alphabet nails post today.  I don’t have a watermelon coloured polish beginning with P so I decided on a sour watermelon candy nail art look instead with Bourjois […]
