Glossybox - December 2013 Reveal

Hello Everyone! I hope everyone has enjoyed Christmas, and got everything their heart has desired. Rather it be present's or simply seeing family members they haven't seen in a long time. Well, I wasn't expecting anymore gifts, but what do you know I received a late subscription box in the mail today....thats right its Glossybox time!

If you wish at the end of this review that you would like to subscribe to Glossybox it cost $21 month, maybe cheaper if you can find a discount code and ships once a month: Go HERE to subscribe! :)

I'm not sure if you can quite read the front of the card, but the "theme" of this box says "Happy Holidays!" 

Anatomicals - "You Need A Blooming Shower!" - Featuring a soothing mix of aloe vera and witch hazel and rose and jasmine scents, this relaxing shower gel leaves the skin feeling cleansed and refreshed. Out of all the products this was by far my favorite. I love the smell of rose and the scent was heavenly. Full size for this product is $5.50 for 10 Fl OZ, and the bottle I received was 5 Fl OZ. I actually thought this was a full size product because it is a very generous amount. I will defiantly be buying this product again in the future.

Naobay - Oxygenating Cream Moisturizing - This cream keeps the surface of your skin balanced, fresh and hydrated. With its special composition based on essential oils, such as rose-hip oil and sweet almond oil, the surface of the skin is kept balanced and fresh. This product has a very light scent to it which I particularly enjoy, and is perfect for this time of year. I'm not sure about everyone else, but I am having a serious problem with keeping my skin hydrated. So, I can't wait to be able to use every bit of this, and give you my update on it. The full size product runs $44.00 for 1.7 Fl OZ. The size they gave us was a 1.01 Fl OZ. which was also a generous amount in order to find out if the product is worth buying or not.

Michael Todd True Organics - Pumpkin Mask - The mask contains pumpkin enzyme and glycerol acid that dissolves impurities like dead skin and clogged pores, which significantly improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, even after a single use! Not suitable for sensitive skin types. Now, don't get me wrong I love Michael Todd products, but you have to find the right one. This particular one I have used before, but I will be passing it to a friend because my skin simply can't handle it. If you are looking for that product that feels as if it is working while you use it this is the product for you, and while it does work its just too strong for me. I will say the pumpkin smells amazing though. The full size product costs $34.00 for 3.4 Fl OZ and we received a 1 Fl OZ. 

Ardency Inn - PUNKER World's Baddest Eyeliner - A rock-star liquid liner that makes it easy to draw any shape of cat eye precisely and instantly, from the most subtle to the most dramatic. I was really impressed with this eyeliner. I will be honest I hate liquid liner's, but this one on the other hand was easy to use and dried very quickly so I didn't have to worry about it getting in my eyes. It will be a wonderful touch to that perfect smokey eye. The full size product is $19.00 for .085 oz and the product they sent was 1 Fl OZ. 

NAILS INC. - Victoria Polish - Nails Inc, polishes are professionally formulated for a long lasting, super glossy, flawless finish. The deep cherry red shade is a great way to add a dash of chic to your holiday look. It was impossible for me to truly capture the beauty of this polish, but I was really impressed it was that of a Victorian almost crimson like red. Full size for this product is $9.50 for .33 OZ., and I do believe this is a full size product that we received. It is defiantly a great color for almost any season! 

Even though we didn't receive a lot of full size products like we usually do, overall I was generally impressed in the size products we received. And once again Glossybox has always given me the most bang for my buck (so to speak) besides Ipsy. How did you like your box this month, and what didn't you like about it? I love hearing your comments, so feel free to leave them below! :)

 

Ipsy - December 2013

Hello Everyone! I just recently turned 25 on December 13th, and more than ever I am on the quest for the next and best beauty products. Maybe, I am going through what you would call an early midlife crisis (haha!), but I think I am starting to finally need anti-aging products so be on the look out for those posts in the future.

 

Today though its that time again IPSY time! :)

 

It is by far one of my favorite subscription services and is the one subscription service I never have to worry about canceling, because it is only $10 a month. If you wish to sign up for Ipsy after reading this review and/or my other reviews, you can find a special invite just for you by using this link:

Now for this month's products...

 

 

This is the bag the products came in, I know I have probably said it before but each month they send you a different makeup bag to store your products in. This month's is just a simple yet classic black bag which has a nice leather feel to it.

 

 

Ardell Natural Lash - This is the first product that was in the bag. Now, in the past I haven't always been fond of eyelashes ever since I accidently glued my eyelashes shut on my wedding day (yeah it was an interesting disaster!). I figured though I would give it one last try, and I am glad I did. I loved these eyelashes, and it defiantly made me feel luxurious on my birthday.

 

 

I truly apologize for my eyebrows, they desperately need to be waxed when I get the money, but here is what the eyelashes look like if you were curious. :) The only negative thing I have to say about them is the glue provided wasn't that great, it worked but they kept trying to come off so I would recommend buying some eyelash glue before trying it.

 

 

Pop Beauty - Bright Up Your Life Eye Shadow Trio - There were two different one's of these you could of received the brown and then the black. I received the brown (thankfully!) which is called "Naturally Bare." The full palette has 10 different shadows, and this is a small version of it. The reason I don't have it opened is because I plan on passing this on to a friend. So if you would like to see more of it, you can go to their website HERE. It's not that I don't love the eyeshadows (I think they are gorgeous) its just I know someone that would suit them better. I am more of a brighter color kind of girl.

 

 

Be a Bombshell - The ONE Stick - An all-in-one multiple stick with a smooth texture. Apply to eyelids, cheeks or lips for the perfect pop of color anywhere! Ipsy subscribers who receive this product will receive Flustered, Girl Crush, or Sunset. I received Sunset, how it is pictured and what it looks like in person is very different. I'm not really sure how to explain the color, its almost that of a reddish coral. I plan on using this product for my lips and eyelids. I think this would make a very different and pretty eyeshadow.

 

J. Cat Beauty - Big Lip Pencil - The Big Lip Pencil is a hydrating and vibrant lipstick as well as a sculpting lip liner. It’s destined to be in your makeup collection! Ipsy subscribers who receive this product will receive Red Rose or Caramel Mocha. The color I received was the Caramel Mocha. I have never really used Lip Pencils, so this should be a new experiment for me so to speak. I have always heard pretty good things about J. Cat Beauty so I believe this is good one to start with. I will let yall know in future posts how it goes. :)

 

Starrily - Nail Polish - The last product I received was Starrily Nail Polish in the Color "Bzzz Bzzz." Out of all of the polishes I could have received this was by far my favorite. It is a clear coat polish with yellow and black glitter in it. It will be perfect to pair with another solid color, and put this over it. Another thing I really like about it is on the website it says, "No dibutyl phthalate, toluene, camphor or formaldehyde. Not tested on animals." Which, I am not sure what some of those things are but the fact that it is not tested on animals, and has no formaldehyde is another plus in my book.

 

So, this concludes the items in the December 2013 Ipsy bag. What did you think about the products in this months bag? What items did you receive in your bag this month? I love to hear your questions and comments. Until next time, remember to always stay beautiful, a beautiful you that is! :)

 

 

Angelic Baked Eyeshadows By Profusion

 

Hello Everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving, now as we move on into the Christmas Holiday's, it is the perfect time to find amazing makeup for great prices! Why you may ask? Have you noticed it is everywhere right now? I went into Walgreen's yesterday, and could not believe my eyes. Now yes, while a lot of it may be cheap, there are lot of what I like to call stocking stuffer makeup items that are nice. I would like to share one of them with you; The Angelic Eyes - 10 baked shadows by Profusion.

 

 

They make two different palettes that I know of. A silver one which has the brighter colors, and a gold palette which are more of the neutrals. The one seen above is the silver palette, which I am absolutely in love with.

 

To me it was always a mystery each time I put one of these eyeshadow's on. The color displayed in the palette, and the actual color on the skin is quite different. I have been really fascinated with these type of palette's ever since I received an Eyeshadow product from BH cosmetics called asteroid which was in my last Ipsy bag.

 

 

Here are what the color's look like without Primer - yes that's right without primer! And if your wondering which color goes with which from the palette seen above, it goes from left to right in order.

Now the picture above is with primer. Now in the past I haven't had the best relationship with Profusion makeup. I must say over the year's, they have really improved. And now I won't be as quick to pass up this brand now. Want to know the best part? The palette was ONLY $5. Yes, that's right; ONLY $5! And after my experience with it I am hoping I get the gold version of this palette. *wink wink* to my lovely Husband.

 

Now, I will say the Galaxy Chic Palette has more deeper intense colors, and a wider range of colors which are more pigmented without primer. Like I said though, this palette was $20 at one time while this palette is only $5. Now the Galaxy Chic Palette has come down to $13 (I believe). My only issue is the shipping on their site can be a little over the top; right at almost $9, which I just can't bring myself to pay. The shipping cost's almost as much as the palette does! Crazy, right? So, if you are looking for an alterative just as great without getting the palette, well then... this my dear is your Holy Grail.

 

 

Overall product Score: 3.1*

 

So, what do you think of this product? Is this something that interests' you, and will you be picking it up or do you already own it? I love to hear your questions and feedback, please feel free to leave a comment in the comment section. And remember to stay Allure a Beautiful You, and you just the way you are. I appreciate each and every one of you for reading my blog. Until next time...

Ipsy - November 2013 Reveal

Hello Everyone! I hope all is well with each and every one of you as we get closer to Thanksgiving, all I can think about is Christmas. It's like all the stores decided hey were gonna skip all the holidays this year, and just go straight to Christmas! Which in return is making me super excited, and its not even December yet. I find myself constantly making references to Christmas, when reviewing my makeup. Please tell me I'm not the only one? haha. Anyways, let's get straight to today's topic....

 

IPSY NOVEMBER 2013! :)

 

 

If you decide you would like to sign up here is an invite just for you. ;)

The Products

 

 

 

BH Cosmetics Galaxy Chic Baked Eyeshadow Sample - "This Galaxy Chic Baked Eyeshadow Sample will take you from Plain Jane to an infinite trendsetter. Inspired by the moons and planets of the universe, eyeshadow shades range from hot sun-orange to cool earth-blue and colors of the Milky Way. Be as chic as a sparkling star!" Ipsy subscribers who receive this product will receive Sun, Aphrodite, Neptune, Asteroid, or Eclipse. I received the color asteroid, and it shocked me and I loved it!

 

I thought it would go on maybe blue or purple, nope! It went on almost like a smokey gray color with highlights of blue in it. The pigment is wonderful in this shadow, and when I get the money I plan on ordering the whole palette which is a little less than $20 with shipping, and the discount code Ipsy20. This color will be great for a smokey eye, and I am intrigued how you never know by just looking at it what the color will be.  

 

Em Michelle Phan Lash Gallery Lengthening Mascara - In the Ipsy bag this month there were 6 products instead of the usual 5 in order to introduce the new line by Michelle Phan. I wasn't too thrilled when I saw that it was mascara, but I tried it and I am impressed. It really highlighted my lashes, and the curved brush is perfect to get the product on every lash. I look forward to trying other products from this line.

 

 

Nailtini Straight Up Color Nail Lacquer - There were two different colors you could have received, the Champagne and (what I received) the Caviar Cocktail. This is a pretty shimmery gray color, and is not a color you usually see a lot in nail polishes. I am sure it would look great alone, but I plan on mixing and matching colors with it. It was my least favorite product I received, but I do know at some point I will get some use out of it, so its not much of a disappointment.

 

 

Be A Bombshell Lip Crayon - "A glossy lip crayon with a smooth texture that is perfect for travel and touch-ups on the go."

To use: "Apply to top and bottom lips for full coverage. For sheer coverage, apply to lower lip only and blot lips together. For more color, apply several coats until you receive desired results."

Ipsy subscribers who receive this product will receive Hot Damn or Shameless.

 

Out of the two, I was really hoping for Hot Damn. And what do you know, I received it!! I already have a lot of lip crayon's. I really like this one, its different from the others in the way it goes on so smoothly. Even though I am very light skinned, it looks phenomenal on me.

Starlooks Gem Eye Pencil - "The Starlooks Gem Eye Pencils provide a magnificent metallic finish and are so versatile, soft, and creamy that they can be used as a liner or eyeshadow base! Each highly-pigmented, unique pencil has a gorgeous, micro-glitter finish." You could received wither topaz or amethyst. I received the color topaz, and to me it looks more silver than anything. I do not see Topaz, but maybe that's just me. Regardless though, it's still a very pretty eye pencil and will work well for highlighting the eyes with.

 

Here is a close up, so maybe yall can get a better feel for what the color really looks like.

 

Pixi Beauty Bronzer - "This bronzing powder gives your complexion the warmth and luminosity of naturally sunkissed skin. Hydrating, silky-smooth & long-wearing, it also protects against free radicals. Contains Vitamin E to protect the skin and mica, which provides dense natural pigment."

 Ipsy subscribers who receive this product will receive Subtly Suntouched or Summertime.

 

I received the color Subtly Suntouched, which is perfect for my lighter skin tone. It's hard to get the true color of this with a picture, you just have to see it in person. This is my favorite product in the bag, and is a product that I will use everyday once my other bronzer run's out. I hope to see more Pixi products in our bags in the future.

 

Overall, I am very satisfied with my Ipsy bag. I can't wait for December (which is also the month of my birthday!) You truly can't beat the quality of the products nor the quantity for only $10!!! Again, if you decide that you want to sign up for Ipsy below will be an invite just for you.

So, Did you like November's Ipsy bag? If you don't subscribe will you be doing so in the future? What was your favorite product? I love hearing your feedback/questions on my post's! Without you there is no blog. Remember stay beautiful, and stay you! :)

Maybelline Fall Collection Lipstick - Limited Edition #990 FUCHSIA FIERCE

I am absolutely in love with the limited edition fall collection that Maybelline has come out with, and I am hoping to be able to collect them all. For the moment being though, I picked up the color #990 Fuchsia Fierce. There are four in the collection.

 







                                         

But today we are here to show case my favorite Fuchsia Fierce....

 





 

Pros

Affordable (my Walgreen's price $7.99)

Pigmented as a Mac Lipstick (in my opinion)

Availability

Unique and One-of-a-kind colors

Doesn't dry out the lips

Moisturizing lipstick (creamy)

 

Cons

Limited Edition

Only Available in these select colors

Will have to reapply after 2-4 hours

 

 

I could take a million pictures, but until you see it in person it is hard to get the full effect, above is a swatch I did. I love how it didn't streak, and an almost glimmer that it puts off.

 

Overall Product Score: 4.1*

 

 

So.....the question is, What do you think about this lipstick? Will you be picking up any of the colors? I would love to hear your feedback/questions. It seriously makes my day, Stay BEAUTIFUL! :)

Yuzen - November Winter 2013 Reveal/Review

Hello Everyone! Today, I received my very FIRST Yuzen box, and hopefully I will have many more Yuzen boxes to review in the future. :)

How Yuzen Works (straight from their site):

The Simplicity of Yuzen…

 

We will send you a little Zen for every season – a different box of Yuzen surprises for summer, fall, winter, and spring… Four boxes in all (sent May, August,  November, and February).
Each box has the very best eco-conscious products to nourish the body and soul. They are carefully chosen for excellence, mission and integrity and always put to the Yuzen test before we share our favorites with you!
 

You can cancel anytime (but we don’t think you will!).

 

Zenfully simple. Beautifully Yuzen! 

 

 

One of my favorite things about this box, is how much time and thought seems to go into each detail of this box. I particularly enjoyed the info card that came with it, and the greeting (as seen below). All of the descriptions below are from their card as well.

 

 

 

Now lets move onto what fabulous product's where in this quarter's box...

 

 

Jane Iredale 24-Karat Gold Dust - a shimmering accent that loves candlelight. Add dazzling gold to your eyelids, a subtle shimmer to your hair, or highlights to cheeks and shoulders to light up your holiday look. All-natural ingredients and colors, cruelty-free, company supports dozens of nonprofit organizations and causes. I haven't quite figured out how I am going to use this product yet, but I think it is a great product for winter to bring a little bit of sparkle in your life.

 

 

Jurlique Rose Hand Cream - a rich and protective hand treatment. Rose, calendula, and viola deeply moisturize and restore smoothness. Eco-friendly, cruelty-free, sustainable sourcing, company supports several nonprofits and causes. I love, love, love the smell of this hand cream. It smell's like a wonderful floral scent of roses, and its not over powering. Yet, another great product for the cooler month's, and it will defiantly get used.

 

 

 

Kerstin Florian Fub Balm - an invigorating foot lotion featuring menthol, rosemary, pine, and lavender. It provides nourishing, protective care for feet while softening cracked heels. Provides cooling, soothing, and antifungal benefits, no parabens or petroleum, and cruelty free. This product I can't quite figure out where I have smelled this scent before, but it seems so familiar. I would say out of all the scent's mentioned it has more of a pine scent. I have used this product for a few days now, and I must say I am very impressed with how well it works.

 

 

Level Naturals Travel Candles - packed full of incredible natural fragrance that will enliven your senses and refresh your space - wherever you find yourself in the world. 100% natural, vegan, soy candle, lead-free wick, and has a toxin-free scent. There were quite a few options I noticed you could have gotten, and I believe I got either an apricot or pear scent. It was nice and refreshing yet very subtle. Another little bonus is not only can you take it wherever you go, but my husband liked it as well which is rare in my book! haha. The only minor negative thing I would say about this product is that it did burn really fast, but in some ways I liked that it did disperse the scent into the air so it wasn't such a bad thing.

 

 

 

Pino Facial Mask - contains natural and nourishing ingredients, including pro vitamin B5, vitamin E, and horse chestnut seed extract. Avocado and jojoba oil refresh those with sensitive skin. No chemicals or preservatives, 95% organic ingredients, and cruelty-free. I love these type of mask's! This is one of those mask's that come on what I would call a paper stencil of a face (see my Gardiner review for an example), and cover's the whole face. I like that while it wasn't burning your face you could still feel it working at the same time. It is great for someone with a more sensitive face like mine.

 

 

Sanitas Moisture Mist - maximizes the delivery of active ingredients deep into the skin. It effectively hydrates and heals the skin while also enhancing the spreadability and penetration of your moisturizer. Active, biogenic ingredients, no parabens or preservatives, no artificial ingredients, and is kosher. This product reminds me a lot of a product in one of my Ipsy bags, which included a facial mist. Although, unlike that product you can put this one all over your skin. It has a very light scent, and makes your skin feel moisturized like lotion, but without that oily or thick lotion feel.

 

 

Sparitual Golden Rule Lacquer - a dynamic and festive hue that will bring your nails to life for the holidays - or anytime you need a pop of color. This company is committed to creating eco-conscious products and packaging. It is also free of DBP, formaldehyde, and toluene, naturally colored and free of synthetic dyes, and is vegan. I have tried Sparitual nail polishes in the past, and I like using their polishes because not only do they work well, but they represent a good cause. I think this gold sparkly color is going to look great over another solid polish to sort of embellish the polish. I can defiantly find some use for this polish.

 

 

Sun Cups Dark Chocolate Mint Cups - a sweet delicious treat made from natural and organic goodness. You might find it difficult to eat just one. It is Non-GMO, Rainforest Alliance Certified, Does not contain soy, gluten or nuts. I got confused when I first saw this because it looked like a peanut butter cup, but its actually a mint cup! While I am not a fan or mint dark chocolate, my husband is so I will be passing this on to him which I know he will enjoy. I still can appreciate the diversity of this box, so I wasn't that disappointed about this product.

 

 

Tara Spa Therapy Stress Relief Roll-On Remedy - a topical aromatherapy treatment that can be applied anytime, anywhere, for instant balancing, energizing, and stress-relief benefits. Made with certified organic herbal extracts, no parabens or preservatives, no artificial colors or dyes or synthetic fragrance, and petroleum-free. This is one of my favorite products in the box, just inhaling this in right before I go to bed makes me sleep a little bit better. It has a very relaxing smell almost like a lavender. While its not something I would buy, I appreciate that it was in this box so that I could try it.

 

Overall, I think my first Yuzen box was a hit! What did you think about this box, and what variations of the box did you receive? Did you like your box or were you disappointed in it? I love hearing your comments/questions so feel free to leave me any feedback! :)

Rimmel London - Limited Edition Extra POP Lash Building Mascara

Hello Everyone! I hope everyone has had a terrific and healing weekend. Today, I want to talk to yall about the Rimmel London Extra Pop Lash Building Mascara. It comes in 4 different colors that I know of:

 

 

There is Pop Black, Green, Purple, & Turquoise. I picked up the "Pop Turquoise." At Walgreen's this products runs $3.99. Depending at what drug store and what area you live in you can get it anywhere from $2-$6 from what I am being told.

 

As far as I know, these are limited edition so if you see them and you want them please do not regret, and get them! These will be also great to spice up your makeup for Halloween, and I will see these having many multi purposes. I was a little confused on why they made the black a limited edition color, I think a Pop Pink would of really set this collection off. But none the less, I was still intrigued. Here is what the Pop Turquoise looks like:

 

 

It is a volume building formula. You can use it alone or on top of your existing mascara for a pop of colour. I love how this mascara really brings out your eyes, even if you have shorter lashes (like myself) and its hard to get your makeup to get your eyes to stand out. Another bonus is that it doesn't smudge!

 

The negative's I would say would be that you really have to pack it on to get it to stand out, it doesn't really show up in natural light, and I did have some minimal flaking. Depending on the event your wearing this mascara for this can be a negative or it can be a positive; it comes off very easily because it is not waterproof.

Overall Product Score: 3.5*

Overall, I really did enjoy these mascara's and I am hoping to be able to pick up the "Pop Green" before they take them off the market, because every place I go to they are sold out. What is your favorite color in the collection, and are there any color mascara's out there other than these that you think I should try? I love hearing your feedback and comments, chat with yall soon and remember you are BEAUTIFUL! :)

Ipsy - October 2013 Reveal

Hello Everyone! How is everyone on this beautiful Monday. It's the start of another week, and today we are going to review the October Ipsy Bag! It wasn't a bag I was over joyed with, but it wasn't a bag I hated either. Take a look for yourself, and you decide!

 

 

This month was the "Art of Beauty" bag. Each bag came with many different combinations, but all with 5 hand selected items according to your profile.

 

 

The first item I received in the bag, was "LA FRESH Oil-Free Face Cleanser wipes." They gently cleanse & detoxifies while removing light makeup. It comes with 10 wipes . It purifies all skin types with a luscious blend of Aloe, Cucumber, Papaya, Pineapple, Marshmallow, Jojoba, Vitamin C & Vitamin E. I really like the fact that it is oil free, and found it interesting that it has marshmallow in it.

 

 

The next product I received was the "Zoya Professional Lacquer." When I first saw it, I was like oh no not another nail polish, because I literally have bags and bags full. Although, this color was absolutely stunning. The picture does no justice, and it is going to be a wonderful winter color. It is in the color "GIOVANNA".

 

 

The third product I was received in my Ipsy bag was the "Buxom Lip Polish" in the color "Dolly." While not usually my favorite shade it is really starting to grow on me. It has a light pink shade, and is what I would call a lip plumper because it gives you that tingly menthol feeling on your lips. I really like Buxom's packaging it reminded me of Botox when I first saw it for some reason, the metallic packaging gives me that feel when you see it. Their motto or company saying is "Live Life Vividly," and you can really see that effort in their products.

 

 

 

 The fourth product I received in my Ipsy bag is the "Be Delectable" from cake beauty in the scent Coconut & Cream. There are three different ones you could haven gotten this one, the strawberries & cream (which I REALLY wanted), and the lemon & cream. I also hear they have a vanilla & cream, but haven't known anyone to get that in their Ipsy bag. Although, I am not a big fan of coconut, I LOVE THIS! It smell's just like the Samoas girl scout cookies. It contains shea butter, coconut oil, and aloe vera. In my opinion, I think it is great for the legs more than anything else, because of the aloe vera in it which is perfect for after shaving. Not a big lotion fan they made me like lotion all over again, and I look forward to trying their other products.

 

 

The last product in this bag I received is the "Big Sexy Hair, Blow Dry Volumizing Gel." Even though I hardly ever blow dry my hair, I will start so I can try this product out because, I have had good experiences with this company in the past. While my hair is so thick, I think even someone like me could always use a little extra volume especially with the winter month's coming up.

Kiss - All or One Artificial Nail Remover

 

Hello Everyone! Hope everyone is doing well. Today I want to talk about a new product (well at least new to me) that I discovered. It's called the Kiss - All or One; Artificial Nail Remover.

 

 

 

The Review

 

 

Here are the products that you will receive in this nail polish remover bundle:

 

It comes with the remover separate, which I really like. That way you know there is no leakage, and you can put in as little or as much remover in as you like. 

 

 

Here is what the inside looks like:

 

 

There is one spot for a single nail, and then a bigger spot if you want to put your whole hand in. It also comes with a bonus nail file, and a cuticle tool.

 

 

The thing about this product that really intrigued me is the fact that I just put these Halloween appliques on about a week ago, and I had no idea how I was going to get them off! So, I went to my local Walgreen's and went on the hunt for a product that would work. Regular nail polish remover was just not doing it. So, I decided to try this product, and I was really impressed!

 

Here is the Before:

 

 

                                             Here is the After:

 

 



As you can tell it almost got 100% of the product off, the only thing that was left behind for me to deal with was the glue, which was easy for me to peel off. And after washing my hands with regular soap it was completely GONE!

 

I feel proud that I have finally discovered a product that not only gets the product off, but doesn't eat my nails up as well. Even though it was $6.99 it was well worth it, and will be something I can use over and over again.

 

Overall product Score: 4.7*

 

So the question is...What do you think about this product? Do you have any favorite nail polish remover, girls fill me in! I love to hear your feedback. Feel free to also ask me any question's you may have.
