Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish - Ray of Light

I saw this nail polish and instantly fell in love. It has a holographic glitter [red, green, and yellowish] flakes on a dark navy base [but dark purple in some lights]. It does look like jelly finish when it dried. With one coat it provided full coverage but with two coats, it became a striking color. The formula was  bit thick but I am guessing it is because of all the glitter flakes. The one thing that bothers me the most is that the nail polish chipped in less than 2 hours after application with a top coat. It is a stunning color but for little less than $20 it should last longer.

Plated - Chicken Tikka Masala and Lemongrass Pork

My brother likes his food plain so no veggies for him~

I read so many good reviews about the food delivery services. They always have so many good recipes but occasionally they have one good recipe I would want to try and the other are so so. I kind of wish there was more variety.  This is my first order,  I can't wait to try the others. :) The only thing I wish they put the steps for creating the food before you buy, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten the Chicken one. My oven wasn't working the day I decided to make this so, I had to stir fry the chicken instead of broiling it.

Overall, the food was pretty tasty and there were generous portions. Now, if it was only a bit cheaper, I would do it more often.

Sephora Tropical Jasmine Body Scrub

I came across this while cleaning my room. I honestly should organize and clean my  stuff more often because I come across awesomes treasures. This tropical sugar scrub is scented with jasmine, coconut, sandalwood, tahitian vanilla and white amber. The body scrub lathers well and left my skin feeling soft and smooth. It also left my skin sweetly scented. I am a bit disappointed that it was discontinued at Sephora but I have one more bottle before I have to start worrying.

This 3 in 1 formula removes makeup, cleanses skin and moisturizes.The makeup remover is packed with Moringa seed extract also known as nature’s purifier. The lightweight remover is easy to use and doesn’t need water to remove. While the remover removed most of makeup it was a bit difficult to remove my waterproof mascara and I had to used my LLancome Bi-Facil Double Action Eye Makeup Remover  to get rid of the traces of mascara from my face. However, the makeup remover did make my skin really soft.

Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue Hydrating Cream Cleanser for the Body

My mom loves 5th Avenue and I can’t remember if I bought the set and got the body wash with it. The body wash was very creamy but it gave a mediocre lather. It did have a bit of an overpowering scent but it wore off after I got out of the shower. Overall, I am glad I didn’t buy this separately as it is a bit disappointing.

Vichy Laboratories Eau Thermale Spa Water

I have read tons of rave reviews about this water and of water in can beauty products [how unsexy, did I just make that product sound?] I decided to give this product a shot while during my family reunion in Florida. The water is Vichy 100% pure [no deer excrement in this water..] and is enriched with 15 rare minerals. It is recommended for every skin type, even people with sensitive skin. The water is clinically proven to have regenerating, antioxidant, soothing and protective properties, but then again isn’t all mineral water like this? Needless to say, while at the beach and enduring 1,000 degree weather, I was open to trying anything. Even though, I had stored the bottle in the fridge prior, the bottle was now at “room temperature” but it was still effective. Upon misting my body, my skin felt refreshed and cooler. My skin was also softer, smoother and looked dewy. Spraying the water, felt like nice treat on my sun parched skin. I was a fool to even question the amazingness of this product. My only qualm, is that I used the travel size in 1.69oz in 4 uses and for $9 a pop it is quite expensive. I think I will use it for a treat or when I want to feel like I been to the spa.
