Sensationail Gel Nail Manicure



This product is great!

 I used to HATE doing my nails because they would never dry fast enough for me to do the my errands. I've tried quick dry products, but they always turned out streaky and gross looking. My nails look shiny and glossy after using Sensational. I absolutely love how I can wash the dishes a good number of times before it begins to affect them. Normally washing like 3 dishes, I get a chip and peeling :( NOT WITH THIS!! :)

 The major con is that the bottles are tiny. They contain about 8-10 manicures at a $12 price (I usually pay anywhere from $2-5 if I'm lucky with a coupon). I showed it to my mom, and she loves it as well. Some people give the Raspberry Wine color a bad review, but it looks great on me. I get compliments all the time. I think you need to have yellow undertones in your skin for it to work. One of the things I really love about that color is that it seems to change depending on the light you're in. It ranges from hot pink to berry to almost red to maroon.

A little tip: Make sure you keep these polishes in a very clean area free of lint or small particles. If you get anything in your polish, it will make having a perfect manicure very difficult.

 I will be throwing out my old nail products and stocking up on more gel nail polish. :)

Olay Regenerist Microdermabrasion & Peel System

This is the only Olay product that I know I would for sure re-purchase.

It comes in a two step process.

First, you apply a citrus-scented orange scrub to your face and massage for about a minute. Then, you apply the lactic acid and massage again for a minute. Rinse, and then voila! You have radiant, soft, and healthy skin.

I absolutely adored this product.

My only recommendation: use something like a wooden tongue-press to help keep the pot bacteria-free.

Ceramide Gold Ultra Lift and Strengthening Eye Capsules - Elizabeth Arden

Do any of you have this kind of sixth sense? I've always had this odd intuition, and often it gets me things. Once when I was only about 12, I had a very strange feeling about the very last stall in a washroom on the right. I felt very sad and almost hysterical. You don't have to believe me. That's not the point, but I went to the stall and found a withered rose on the toilet dispenser.

These kinds of things often happen to me.

During one summer, I had taken over an exchange student's lease for a month. I, again, got an odd vibe coming from under the bed.

That's where I found this brand new, sealed box of Ceramide Gold Ultra Lift and Strengthening Eye Capsules from Elizabeth Arden.

I was elated! Free luxury beauty products? Best sublease ever.

The container looked sophisticated and rich. Despite my expectations for such a promising product, I found that the capsules did nothing for my eyes. Should I have been surprised? None of the eye products I have ever reviewed had a noticeable affect on me.

I passed this one off to my mom, and like the many other products I gave her, she swears by them.
