I may be jumping the gun on this one but I am actually typing this review as my nails are drying! OPI Nail Lacquer colors all seem to be stunning, chip-resistant, quality polish. I currently am wearing Japanese Rose Garden which is bringing me back to my younger days of Barbie and all things sparkly. This is more like Barbie all grown up, classy and refined but still sweet.
This color makes for a great day look, and I know its Winter, but Spring is just around the corner and I will be well prepared with my Japanese Rose Garden.

Being a college student, I have had many a late night! I'm looking for something will make me look less like a zombie in the morning. I had high hopes for this product, but unfortunately it just does not deliver.
Photo Op does come in a cute little tube with a convenient brush applicator, but that's pretty much where the positives stopped for me. The product claims to disguise dark circles, fine lines, and wrinkles. Wrinkles aren't my biggest concern just yet, but I figured it couldn't hurt. So, I dabbed Photo Op under my eyes and didn't really see a difference--then or later in the day. What I did notice was a slight shimmer, so keep in mind this stuff sparkles in the right light. I was determined and have tried it over and under foundation, primer, concealer, but to no avail.
It is light, non-greasy, and frangrance-free, but does not preform as promised. Sorry ladies.

This lovely product from Stila has been so handy to have around because it's trio. And not the puny little trios you see from other brands like Smashbox (sorry smashbox, you know I love you), it's a large compact size!
Aside from the quantity, the colors are just so wearable for daytime. The shimmer subtle is enough to pull off, but could really be taken into nighttime as well by adding a little more of the deepest color in the trio into your crease.
The colors are not listed, but the outer ring of color which I put on my brow bone and inner eye corner looks like champagne. The middle ring is a little bronze which I apply to my lid, and the center hub of color is a deep more brownish bronze which goes right into my crease.
I believe this was a limited edition product, but it can still be found on eBay and other sites, for various prices--sorry Stila fans!

Ok so I know there's lots of hype about this product already, but hey, it's for good reason! All of the NARS blushes go on smooth, are amazingly blendable. It comes in their signature little black snap-shut compartments.
NARS Blush in Orgasm is unique in that is can look beautiful and natural on many different skin tones (I'm medium). Be warned, this is a shimmer blush not matte, but it is quite subtle and I wear this out and to work. For everyday, I also wear NARS Blush in Deep Throat, which is a lighter pinky color, but also with shimmer.
In my opinion, NARS makes some of the best blush on the market, and I would recommend this product to everyone. Even if Orgasm doesn't thrill you, they have a large enough variety to suite literally any skin tone.

I have been using this product from Cetaphil for about a year. It might not have fancy packaging or outrageous beauty claims, but make no mistake, this is a solid product. If you have sensitive skin, you will fall in love. It is a light, non-greasy mosturizer, that is so effective is it will make you forget about the smell (or non-smell) of the product. Its scent does not bother me, but if your obsessed with the fruity, floral scents, this may not be to your liking.
The Daily Mosturizer also comes with SPF 15, so it hydrates your skin while providing protection from the sun's harmful UVA/UVB rays. It is also non-comedogenic and dermatologist recommened. Like I said, solid product.
