Review: Glitter Gal - Nude & Marine Blue Holo Polish


Today I have two wonderful holo Glitter Gal nail polishes to show you:  Marine Blue, and Nude.  Glitter Gal was kind enough to send me these polishes for review purposes.  Anna and Kerry have been friends for almost 20 years and had met at a law firm, and later on down the road to create the Indie polish company, Glitter Gal Australia.  Both these beautiful ladies had something to offer to Glitter Gal Cosmetics.  Anna had created a private label cosmetics business, and made products for some of the biggest Asian and American companies.  Kerry use to be a model and a makeup artist.  One day Anna's husband, who is a special effects color technician, had introduced them to non-traditional pigments which was the start of Kerry and Anna's amazing quest for Glitter Gal.  They use the highest quality of ingredients for their products!


Each bottle comes in two sizes to choose from: 10ml or a 15ml size.  I received two 10ml size which I found are still way better than the normal minis I would get from other companies.  I like that the bottles are square which makes it easier for me to store within my helmer.

Review: Shimmer Polish - Eva & Tammy


Hello Darlings!  How are you all doing lately?  I hope all is well.  Today I have two pretty Indie nail polishes from Shimmer Polish to share with you, which was sent to me for review purposes.

Shimmer Polish was designed out of Orange County.  SoCal is home to me, so it's wonderful to see that there are Indie nail polish makers from around here.  Cindy has a brilliant line and I love that she names and designs her polish after her all the special people in her life.


Eva is a nice burgundy red jelly base that has a mixture of fine micro-glitters of burgundy, black, and silver.

With Top Coat

Without Top Coat in Direct Sunlight
For an opacity look it took three base coats.  The fine micro-glitter gives the polish a more in-depth look.  You could see the previous glitters as you layer the polish.


Tammy is absolutely gorgeous with its mixture of gold, black, and purple glitter mixture of bars, hex, and square glitter.  I love this color combo since I use those shades for my makeup looks time to time.


I decided to wear this polish by itself with a top coat over it to smooth it out.  To achieve opacity it takes two to three coats.

I love that these actually dried fast and I didn't have to fish out for glitters on both of them.  There was no horrible smell that gave me a headache at all.

You could purchase Cindy's Shimmer Polishes at her ETSY Shop for $12 each and she also takes custom orders.  So make sure to check out her other wonderful polishes that she has to offer.

Here are other ways you can keep in touch with Shimmer Polish:

Do you have one of Cindy's Shimmer Polishes?  What do you think of Eva and Tammy?  

Thanks for stopping by my blog and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Review: Little Twin Stars Water Nail Decals


Today I would like to share with you these cute Little Twin Stars water nail decals I had received from BornPrettyStore for review purposes.


The little girl in me knew I had to grab this!  When I was younger and into Sanrio, I loved Little Twin Stars along with Pochacco and Badtz Badtz Maru.  These water decals brought me back to the days when I was living in Okinawa.

I love water decals because they are super easy to use and really helpful when you have those no inspo or motivation sort of days.  


This water decal has a total of five images that are repeated three other times.  Giving you twenty images total.  And if you include the bow streamer with stars, that is two more images.  Of course you can always cut the streamer up which will give you more.

Review: Perlier Italian Sorbet Limone Refreshing Crackling Ice Body Water


So today I have something brilliantly awh-mazin' and interesting to show you.  It's Perlier's Italian Sorbet Limone Refreshing Crackling Ice Body Water, which I received from iFabbo for review purposes.  When I first heard about this product, I was instantly curious and excited to try it out.  Let me tell you, it has been hecka hot lately in SoCal.  So getting this product was so helpful in keeping my family and I nice and cool right away.

Features:
  • Sparkling and crisp
  • Moisturizes and refreshes in one step
  • Makes your skin pleasantly smooth and scented
  • Crackles when applying to skin
  • Provides sudden and strong cooling effect
  • Formulated with food ingredients, just like a true fruit sorbet
  • Fresh and light texture gives a sorbet-like effect on the skin
  • Made in Italy

They suggest you place this product inside the fridge to give it that extra coolness when it touches your skin.  I first tried it as soon as I received it, and found that it still felt really cold.  I then shoved the Cracking Ice Body Water into the fridge so I could take it to my family day picnic.  As we were sitting near the lake, I took out the product from the cooler and spritzed some on my skin.  I was instantly cooled down and it felt so refreshing that my husband and son asked if they could use it as well.  They instantly fell in love with the product and were fascinated with how it felt cold.  My son loves the crackling noises that it makes when you apply it to your skin and massage it as well.  


It comes out super foamy and then starts to bubble up and you will begin to hear it start crackling.  The above image is how it looks when it bubbles.  My son calls it acid lol.  


The only real issue I had with this product was the nuzzle for it.  There were times when it wouldn't come out at all, and it seemed iffy when you pushed it down for it to come out.  But I overlooked it mostly cause it is an interesting product and it seriously helped my family and I keep nice and cool.  

The Perlier Italian Sorbet Limone Refreshing Crackling Ice Body Water cost $24.50 for a 150ml which I can understand is pretty pricey for how it is used.  But this product has been abused so much in my family, and there is still some of the icy water within it.  Not to mention if you love nifty skin care products it would be fun to grab this up.  

You could find this item on HSN.com and they have a discount on your first order of Perlier products you get $5 off by using the code iFabbo5.  

So take a risk.  Cool yourself down with Perlier Italian Sorbet Limone Refreshing Crackling Ice Body Water.  Check them out on Twitter: #PerlierOnHSN #CoolestBeautyProductEver.

Review: RMK - Ingenious W Powder Eyes 04 & Gloss Lips N EX-06


Hi Darlings!  Today I have two products from RMK, that I received from LookFantastic for review purposes.  They are from the company RMK, which has some of you may know are a Japanese brand, and it is their Ingenious W Powder Eyes in 04 (gray), and a Gloss Lips in N EX-06 (limited edition Gold).


The packages on these were a sleek silver box that has embossed lettering of "Take me.  Open Up.  Choose me."  I think this is totally eye catching as you walk down the aisle looking at the makeup.  If something told me to choose them I'll stop, look, and wonder why I should do so.

Review: 3 Concept Eyes Lip Paints in Shade 7 & 8



Today on my blog I would love to share with you two lip paints by 3 Concept Eyes, that I received from BornPrettyStore for review purposes.  These lip paints are the latest edition to the lippie line that BornPrettyStore carries.  I was excited to review these because when I first saw them they reminded me of OCC Lip Tars and Sleek Makeup Pout Paints.  Well in that concept at the least.

Out of the eight shades, I decided to pick #7 and #8 since I wanted something that I would be able to wear both of them at separate times.
