Sally Hansen Salon Effects in Sweet Tart-tan: Review & Swatches

My first go round with nail decals was rather tragic, so I was wary trying out a different brand. When the Sally Hansen Salon Effects came in my Target Subscription box (review to come), I sucked it up so to speak. Was my experience with Sweet Tart-tan better?

Aveeno Clear Complexion BB Cream: Review & Swatches

Since I'm on a BB Cream kick, figure might as well bring up another one. The Aveeno Clear Complexion BB Cream in Fair to Light. There are 2 color ranges offered (I believe the other is Light to Medium, but don't quote me on that). I was excited to see these when it hit the shelves because I generally love Aveeno products.  Especially a BB cream that has my minimum requirement of SPF 30? Hell ya, bring it on!

L'Oreal Voluminous Power Volume 24H Mascara in Blackest Black: Review & Swatches

Today's product is the L'Oreal Voluminous Power Volume 24H Mascara in the color Blackest Black. This happens to be a waterproof formula as well for those of you who are curious. This might be one of those "YouTube made me" type products, since it had a lot of buzz (or maybe the general line of products had a lot of buzz?). I didn't intend to get the waterproof version since as a general rule, I prefer not to get waterproof mascara (and why it's important to read the label!!!).

Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream: Review & Swatch

This is the first product within the new-ish Olay Fresh Effects line that I have tried (thanks to Influenster sending me this to review for free). It's always intrigued me though, and let's just say packaging helps with catching the eye. Today I have specifically the BB Cream Skin Perfecting Tinted Moisturizer to review. This retails for $12.99 at your local drug store of choice, with two available shades of Fair to Light (which I have to review today), and Light to Medium. I'm personally a huge fan of BB creams, and have been since my Mom sent me some from Korea many, many years ago.

Skincare Sunday: Benefit Cosmetics Radiant Skin Care Line Review

The third "series" that I'm looking to do on a regular basis is Skincare Sunday. I realize that I cover skincare items outside of Sunday, but I want to gear Skincare Sunday towards skincare lines (like I am today) and DIY projects. Something to keep it a little more unique from the other posts.  Also if I'm good enough to do multiple posts on Sunday, it may not all be related to skin care (and most likely won't). With that intro, today I have the Benefit Cosmetics Radiant Skin Care Line to review for you. Luckily I got most of the items in the skincare line offered as part of a kit from Ulta for $24. Not a bad price if you ask me since there was enough product in the kit to last me for 2-3 weeks.

Revlon Photo Ready Blush in Flushed: Review & Swatch

Summer usually means easier applying products that doesn't weigh the skin down (at least it does for me since I don't do hot weather well). In comes cream products, and what better cream product than blush? The Revlon Photo Ready Blush in Flushed is a pretty choice.

Essie Borrowed & Blue Nail Polish: Review & Swatch

This particular shade of Essie nail polish came out probably 3 years ago, but it's still a classic, and easily found in the stores. Borrowed & Blue was part of one of the Wedding Collection that comes out yearly. The name perfectly fits the wedding theme, and the polish itself is a lovely light blue cream. This retails around $8 as most Essie polishes do.
