Maybelline Color Show Polka Dots - 95 Blue Marks the Spot

I saw this nail polish advertised in magazines and I couldn't wait to try it. I am especially happy that  a lot more nail polishes are more in tune with Franken [Indie] nail polish and nail art trend.  The semi opaque blue tint nail polish is sprinkled with black and white confetti glitter.  The milky blue nail polish was difficult to apply and  the glitter didn't go on evenly. Like most glitter nail polishes after the first couple of uses all the glitter just sits on the bottom of the bottle.  The nail polish smudges easy and as you noticed some spots missing glitter even though I had use multiple coats. The nail polish chips very easy. It didn't even last day before it started chipping. I didn't use a top and base coat at first but even when I used a top coat the nail polish chipped and was bumpy.  The polish didn't dry shiny but with more jelly finish with the confetti on the bottom.  Overall, this is a mediocre nail polish in terms of quality but great in terms of appearance.

The Body Shop - Moringa Soap

The creamy soap lathers up well. It left my skin feeling soft and smooth. The soft floral scent lingers in the air and makes taking a shower a nice treat. The soap also left my skin subtly scented. The best part of this soap is that doesn’t dry my skin out or leave a film like other bar soaps. Plus for $4 a bar, it is pretty good deal since most French or other Artisan soaps cost at least double.

Elizabeth Arden Lip Protectant Stick Sheer Tint SPF 15 - Plum

I recently purchase this lip tint because I needed something that provided a bit of color, SPF, and has lip conditioning properties. The sheer tint lip protectant smooths, soften and protect lips. The tinted balm is packed with vitamin E and antioxidants to protect and nourish skin.  The plum tint is a sheer purple color. If you are looking for a balm with a sheer color and SPF, then you should definitely look into getting this or at least trying it.
