Borghese Botanico Eye Compresses

 
Photo Source - Dermstore


My weekend routine usually involves applying a facial mask and using an eye mask [I still don’t know what they are called]. The Borghese’s eye compress is formulated with sea salt and botanical extracts such chamomile and witch hazel.  The product promises to soothe tired eyes, reduce puffiness and dark circles. These eye compresses are thinner than I am used too. They remind me of the thinner version of the cotton pad Sephora puts out for you to sample their products. The compresses, however,  did make the area around my eyes softer.  A word of caution, some of the product must have leaked into my eyes somehow because it started to sting the hell out of my eyes.



Julep Nail Polish - Jordan








One Coat

Two Coats

I love this full coverage glitter nail polish. When I first put one coat, there wasn't much coverage but two coats gave a beautiful shimmery color.  The nail polish is a clear base with gunmetal multi-size glitter. The finish is a bit rough but using a top coat evens out most of the roughness out. I used this nail polish originally for Thankgiving but I think its perfect for the winter holidays or New Years.

Vichy Early Access Black Friday Deal







It seems a lot of companies are stepping up their game and offering more deals and a lot earlier. Which helps with planning but sucks when you cave in and buy something you don't need. Vichy is offering dollars off purchase and a clear tote. It would be better if it was filled with samples..
