~August 2010 Favorites~

Hey everyone!

Here are my August Favorites!

~Rimmel London's Moisture Renew Lipstick is great for August weather! The lipstick is shiny enough by itself, so there is no need for any gloss!

~The combination of The Body Shop's matte blue eye shadow, and their silver shimmer eye shadow is perfect to have fresh eye makeup during this hot month!

~Evian Facial Spray is always a must for me! I love to mist this on whenever I am feeling hot or tired. It instantly cools and refreshes me!

~The Matrix Biolage leave-in hair tonic has revived my dull hair, adding a shine and softness to it.

~The Body Shop's Peppermint Cooling Foot Spray is perfect to spray on tired or sore feet at night. It helps me cool down and relax for bed.

~Victoria's Secret Pink Body Spray in Soft & Dreamy is a prefect light scent to wear anytime of the day!

What are your August favorites?

~What's in My Fall Travel Makeup Bag?~

Hey everyone!

This is a post just to let you know what I will be carrying in my travel makeup bag this fall, if I go on any over night or long trips!

First off, I have this great makeup bag that came in a gift set a couple years ago. I really love this bag, because you can hang it up and none of your stuff will fall out!

I always have a mascara, and two options for eye liner. One is a bright and shimmering purple color, while the other one is a matte brown.

Makeup Brushes are essential to any travel bag, but you have to consider saving space. I have a small blush brush, a simple eye shadow brush, and a baby kabuki brush! I keep just a sample size of mineral foundation, eye shadow primer, and concealer/highlight.

Bringing a variety of eye shadows is a great and easy way to switch up your makeup! My recommendation: choose colors that can go with any outfit.

Lip products are always a must and very important on trips! They are a quick way to bright up your face. I like to bring a neutral lipstick, and glosses that look gorgeous by themselves!

Perfume and body spray is a must, but look for small, travel size bottles!

A facial spray is a fantastic way to revive dull skin and makeup! I always have this travel size bottle on hand!

What would you carry in your makeup bag?

XoXo,
Whitney

Rimmel London Lasting Finish Pro Nail Enamel Review

Hey everyone!

This is a review on the Rimmel London Lasting Finish Pro Nail Enamel in the shade Posh Pink.

Here is a bit of information from the Press Release: Enriched with micro-sized minerals that fill in imperfections on the nail surface, Lasting Finish Pro Nail Enamel creates a smooth and super glossy finish for up to 10 days of maximum color impact and shine. Advanced micro formula technology with an active time-release system enhances shine over time while UV fade protection keeps color true.

The Mistake-Free Pro Brush features a wide angled brush for a fast and mistake-free professional application. With more than 800 fine bristles, the brush is designed to adapt to any nail shape and requires less strokes to apply, while delivering a super smooth finish and truly streak-free results.

The nail enamel formula is fast drying, and has an amazing glossy finish. From normal wear and tear, this nail enamel can stand up pretty well on its own without chips.

The glossy finish lasts pretty much as long as you wear the nail enamel. I have noticed that after 7-8 days it can begin to dull slightly.

The wide angled brush is great; it makes applying the nail polish quick and easy. With the Posh Pink shade, 1-2 coats gets you a nice vivacious color..

The Rimmel London Pro Nail Enamel retails for $3.99 (which is a great price!).

Pros:
~Glossy finish
~Beautiful, rich colors
~Chip resistant
~Fast drying
~New wide-angle brush

Cons:
~Needs more than one coat

Overall, I rate this product at 4.5 out of 5 sugarcubes! The nail enamel is great to wear for everyday occasions, and due to the inexpensive price, it would be great to travel with!

Whitney
