Quo really stepped up their game with their holiday sets this year.  Affordable but great quality, they really do have something for everyone.  They have two beauty advent calendars priced at $40 each (see them here) but here is a look at some of my top picks for the gift sets. Quo Liquid Lipstick Bar […]

Revlon Amethyst Smoke Swatches & Review (HoloChromes Collection)

Revlon Amethyst Smoke Duochrome Swatches and Review - Holochromes Collection - Swatch

Saving the best for last!  Well the best of the chrome part of the Revlon HoloChromes at least.  I prefer the holographic ones since there is little else like them available to those who want to shop in stores.  Revlon Amethyst Smoke is a little different than the rest of the collection.  While it looks […]

Revlon Gilded Goddess Swatches & Review (Holochrome Collection)

Revlon Gilded Goddess Swatches Holochrome Collection

It wouldn’t be a winter collection without a gold! Revlon Gilded Goddess is the third of the chrome part of the Revlon HoloChromes collection I am sharing.  If you missed the others, check them out here.  The collection includes four holographic polishes, three brushed metals and a gorgeous dark duochrome I am sharing tomorrow. It […]

Revlon Molten Magic Swatches & Review (HoloChrome Collection)

Revlon Molten Magic Swatches Holochromes

As I said with Revlon Blushing, the chrome part of Revlon’s Holochrome collection is more brushed metal than actual chrome.  They advertise them as such, so not a huge deal, but would have been nice to see some actual drug store chromes.  It is rare to see one come close without being a chrome powder […]

Revlon Blushing Swatches & Review (Holochrome Collection)

Revlon Blushing Holochromes Swatches and Review

I recently reviewed the holographic polishes from the new Revlon Holochrome collection.  The “chromes” are more brushed metallics than actual chromes but some nice colours and decent quality for drug store polishes.  Starting with Revlon Blushing which is advertised as a rose gold but is more pink with a flash of gold. Check back this […]

Homemade Lip Scrub With All Good Organic Coconut Oil

All Good Coconut Oil - Brown Sugar Lip Scrubs

I recently received a couple of samples of All Good Coconut Oil Skin Food.  Since they are fairly small and are just coconut oil and essential oils, I decided to use them to make some homemade lip scrub.  As I mentioned in my recent lip balm review, I still need to exfoliate regularly as my […]

The Other 12 Days of Blogmas

12 Other Days of Blogmas 2017 - Blogging Goals

If NaBloPoMo has taught me anything, it is that my life is fairly hectic for planning a post a day.  Thirty posts in a month is one thing, ensuring you have one every day is another.  I have no issues getting 4-5 posts a week up and have even managed 30 in a month before […]

Flexitol Lip Balm Review

Flexitol Lip Balm Reviews

As I mentioned in my recent Lipivir review, my lips get really dry and need regular exfoliating and moisturizing.  A simple lip balm or moisturizing lipstick is not enough, especially if I wear mattes or am out in the wind.  One of the few lip balms I have actually been impressed with is Flexitol Lip […]

The Chill Zone Nail System & Snowflake Nails

Chill Zone Nail System Review: Snowflake Nails Using Coconut Cream Tart and the Beaches of Turks and Caicos

Chill Zone is a new to me brand.  Founded in 2010 by the Homma brothers, one a nail tech, the other a chemical engineer, they promise quick drying, long lashing and high shine polishes with a 3 free formula.  I tried their nail system of dehydrator, base coat, tip capper and top coat as well […]
