sally hansen hard as wraps + essie polish + insta dri // my new hack to getting tough, shellac-like nails that don't chip for a few days! seriously, it works great and with two coats of any color/brand polish. i never used to pick a base coat, but it makes all the difference in the world.
sally knows her nail polish, gals.
revlon super lustrous lip gloss in raisin rage & fatal apple // i wanted some gloss to go over some of my favorite lips shades for the holidays for ultimate shine and lasting power. i had perfect lasting & shiny color through multiple adult beverages! they are not very bright on their own, but paired with my bright/dark red lipsticks, it was a perfect look.
murad clarifying cleanser & clarifying toner // for the harsh winter time, i wanted to make sure i had a skin care regimen that could combat the combination skin without over-drying. i use the murad cleanser daily with my clarisonic, followed by the toner and I have definitely noticed a difference in clarity & even skin tone.
it's a 10 leave-in treatment // i heard raves and raves on this product online, and I finally bought a small size to try it out. i have since re-purchased because i love the way it makes my ends silky and smooth! it also smells like something from my childhood that i can't quite pinpoint, but i love the scent. (seriously, if you know the answer, you have to tell me.)
i also bought the shampoo/conditioner from the line, but i haven't tried it out yet.
these are my favorite beauty product purchases from december! i cannot believe that we are a matter of days away from 2014. any products out there that i need to try & review?
is there a cure for post-christmas funk? time to detox!
don't forget to enter the mi-me beauty & bath product giveaway before it's too late!
I'm definitely going to have to try out that insta-dri top coat and the hair leave in. Glad you liked them!
