A Closer Look at Spring Nail Color

                                    

I'll be the first to admit that I'm a little nail color obsessed lately. The other day, we told you about the new South Beach collection from OPI, but once I tried my new favorite shades, Conga-line Coral, I had to show it to you. This photo doesn't do it the justice it deserves but it gives you an idea. It's a shimmery, fiery, rosey orange color that is perfect for the season and makes your hands look tan! Girly and glam all in one shade? We'll take it!

This is a must have shade, for both hands and feet for Spring all the way into Summer! Available at The Beauty Clutch for $8.50.  

Beauty's Best Kept Secret Bargain

                                        

It's clear that stains for lips and cheeks are all the rage this season. But you may not know that one of the best lip stains on the market lives at your local drugstore for under $8.00! Cover Girl Outlast Lipstain in Cinnamon Smile is my new obsession! I've been wearing under every lip color or by itself with gloss over it every day for the last two weeks.

Not only is it a fabulous, neutral shade the looks amazing and enhances lipcolor, it also stays put all day so that when your lipstick or gloss fades, you've still got color! The felt tip applicator makes it super easy to apply and it doesn't dry out the lip at all! You have GOT to run out and get this product...besides my thinking its amazing, all of my makeup artist friends are loving it too. To quote my fellow makeup artist and dear friend Kelly Jo "I love it as a lipliner and lipstick in one and it smells so good!"

The experts have spoken. Available for $7.49 at Drugstore.com.  

Sizzling South Beach Nails

 

                                                            

The Spring/Summer 2009 collection from OPI is positively sizzling. Boasting shades like "Clubbing Til Sunrise" and "Bronzed to Perfection," OPI has yet again reinforced their position at the top of all nail color trend. This collection has the island bronze, sun kissed corals and intense tropical shades as well. Each color illicits a reaction.

When we first saw this collection, we wanted every single color on our nails! Its stunning and of course , nail healthy as well. All shades available for $8.50 at Drugstore.com.

Stilettos are Never a Bad Thing....

 

                                                

New Lash Stilletto mascara from Maybelline may be our new favorite "convenience mascara." Great on the eyes and easy on the pocketbook characterize this new lengthening formula that doesn't smudge but washes off with ease. The other great thing about it is the wand, which is just the right length and width to create perfectly defined and super long lashes! Also, since it dries to a shiny, patent finish, it makes eyes shine beautifully. At $7.49 a pop, it's a must have. Available at Drugstore.com.

At just $8.59 at Drugstore.com, this foundation has a unique cooling sensation which helps to fight the effects of heat and humidity to prevent shine breakthrough. It also wears all day long, which, for a oily skin is a downright miracle!

Nicciknows recommends applying it with a buffing brush to blend it into skin. Enjoy!

Reveal the Super Smooth Goddess in You

 

The new Venus Embrace razor from Gillette is amazing! So amazing in fact, that the company will refund you the purchase price up to $11.99 within 14 days if you aren't happy with it. 

I am an every day underarm shaver and and I have such a hard time finding a close shave razer that gets all the hair quickly and easily. This razor does all that and more! It has five blades that are really close together, which helps to get a very close shave. I LOVE this razor and think that every woman needs it. Plus, it's cute and comes with a mountable holder that goes right on to your shower wall! Available at Drugstore.com for $12.99 and comes with an additional refill blade.   

Clean Foundation

 

                                                                

Cover Girl's Clean Makeup is a no-brainer in terms of easy, efficient, natural finish makeup that you can pick up from your local drugstore. A lightweight, clean scent characterizes this staple product of the well-know brand, Cover Girl. Perhaps the best part is that it only costs $6.19 at Drugstore.com!

One of the complaints about foundations and powders from the drugstore is that its hard to select the right shade. The good news is that many drugstores do allow for this in their return policy so make sure to ask if they will allow an exchange if the color is wrong. I really love this product, it delivers even, natural coverage and feels fresh and clean on the skin.   Enjoy!

"Express" Yourself with Super Shiny Hair

 

                                               

Brunette Expressions by Pantene is a great color-enhancing shampoo! It keeps your color looking shiny and fresh and definitely stops it from fading fast. Many color shampoos from days past deposit small amounts of new color onto the hair, causing build-up but this new formula cleans, removes impurities and leaving color looking radient!

If you aren't a brunette, don't fret (hehe) they have other colors as well. Available at CVS for just $6.19!  

The Secret Weapon for Silky Smooth Skin

                                                    

              

Vasoline has a new secret weapon for combatting dry skin....Cocoa Butter Vitalizing Gel Body Oil. Infused with Brazilian Nut and Almond Oils, this oil instantly softens skin. We use it right after getting out of the bath or shower before putting your towel on. It smells delicious, absorbs quickly and leaving skin feeling unbelievable! 

Available at CVS.com for just $7.49!
