If I had to pick one product, Illamasqua's Nail Varnish would be my very, very favorite, but I really like quite a few of their formulas. Their polishes wear exceptionally long on me (fourteen days with just minor tip wear) and come in a variety of shades.
The first Dior product I can remember falling head-over-heels in love with was their Diorskin Shimmer powders, specifically Amber Diamond. I spent a few hours yesterday reorganizing, and after seeing Amber Diamond, plus three others, I was left wondering why Dior hasn't released any additional shades in...

One question I get asked a lot prior to Sephora's winter sale (20% off for VIBs with code VIBTOPIA, 11/7 through 11/11!) is, "What do you recommend?" This is a loaded question! There are so many ways to answer this question! The way I tend to frame my answer is in the context of,...
