Hot Nail Polish of Summer: Orangey-Red!

Although the weather in San Francisco is far from hot and summery I shouldn't punish my toes.  I just picked up this fabulous orangey- red color from Sephora by OPI Nail Colour in Lost Without My GPS (opaque bright vintage orange-red).  Perfect color for summer! I usually go with reds or pinks, so this is the perfect new find.  I am going to get a mani tomorrow and test it out.  I'm sure it will brighten another dreary day.  I have used the Sephora By OPI Nail Colour line before, so I am not worried about the quality of the polish.  Check out all the other fabulous shades for summer!

Great Deal: Stila It Girl Eye Shadow Trio Palette - $10!


The Stila It Girl Eye Shadow Trio Palette is one of the best deals I have seen in makeup.  You get three fabulous full sized eye shadows (no thumbnails here!) for the great price of $10! I am not sure how long this deal will be around so pick it up while you can.  The color assortment would look great on just about anyone: a shimmering bronze, gold and pink.  The pink shimmer is Stila's best selling eyeshadow Kitten, which usually sells for $18 on its own.

These colors are great for layering and adding shimmer to your look just in time for summer.

Great New Eyeliner: Smudgestick Waterproof Eyeliner


I went into Utla the other day and by chance Stila had a cosmetics expert in the store. I'm not usually a big fan of single brand experts because they only push one product line. As you can tell I like a little bit of everything. This lady was smart though and had the eyeliner in hand, Smudgestick Waterproof Eyeliner. She lured me in right away by having a few of the eyeliner samples drawn on her hand. They have a great new product that is smudge proof and waterproof and she swiped her hands across one another and viola! no smudge or budge. I was convinced . . . thought bubble "perfect for the summer!"

I have been using this product for about a week now and absolutely love it. It's great because it stays from morning to night so no need to touch up when I go out after work. I'm really digging the Purple Tang color, great for hazel eyes and nice to mix things up from brown and black. I have always been a big Stila fan and I'm glad to see they are bringing some inventive products to the cosmetic's game.

Fight Free Radicals with Neutrogena Anti-Oxidant Age Reverse Night Cream


A friend pointed out an interesting article today on AOL entitled "Premature Aging Caused by Ozone, Exhaust, Construction Debris". Right when I saw it I knew I made the right night cream selection when I was at Target. Now, women and men alike need to worry about other premature aging causes besides smoking and harmful UV rays from the sun. Working in San Francisco I have all types of pollution surrounding me from the buses, cars and skyscrapers keeping it all condensed in one area. Choosing a product that contains anti-oxidants can help repair and prevent damage from free radicals. My pick is Neutrogena Anti-Oxidant Age Reverse Night Cream. Neutrogena has created a whole anti-oxidant line, but I decided to start with the night cream since I was searching for a new one anyway. I can really feel this product working. All you need is a pea size amount to cover your whole face and you wake up in the morning with super soft skin. Definitely a great starting place for anti-aging and because its non-comedogenic it won't clog your pores like several anti-aging products I have tried before.
