Lip swatches of the Holiday 2008 Coral Lips Palette! Again: All were done with a lip brush and LOTS of swipes. I must admit I'm pretty disappointed with the color pay off. I also apologize for unevenness, as they appeared even to me in the mirror, but apparently it was not the...

Looks - Warm Eyes Palette for Smoky Greens

Looks - Warm Eyes Palette for Smoky Greens

As promised, here's a look using the holiday '08 warm eyes palette :) For those wondering, I really do not think Femme Noir looks anything like Grand Entrance. Femme Noir is almost a black-green on me, but it's an olive, muted green. Grand Entrance is a rich forest green.

Kings & Queens Sultan of Granada Lemon Flower Showergel Review

Kings & Queens Sultan of Granada Lemon Flower Showergel Review

Kings & Queens Sultan of Granada Lemon Flower Showergel ($9.00) pulled me in with its citrus-lemony scent dusted with a woodiness. It's not the lemon scent of your dish-washing soap, but something gender-neutral and reminds me a bit of fading summer and the beginning of fall. It's hard for me to...

Dior Black Diamond Black Sequins Nail Polish

Dior Black Diamond Black Sequins Nail Polish

From Dior's Black Diamond Holiday Collection, this is what Black Sequins looks like! :) It's this really intense, dark black with chunky silver glittery bits. It doesn't try 100% smooth, because the glitter is thick. I think it makes a great sophisticated black polish for the wintertime. It isn't a...
