Beauty File: Love in a Bottle Sinful Colors

So as of lately, I have done something, in my opinion, completely outlandish and totally ditched my gel nails! I have consistently sworn by nail silk wraps (nothing long or audacious – just a simple short and classic french manicure) for four solid years. That’s four years of bi-weekly fill-ins and four-week wraps (to keep nails healthy; yet I’m not sure for what exactly…) with no hesitations or questions. I challenged myself a couple of weeks ago to get rid of the nails and embrace a no-frills classic manicure. In the quest to enjoy my new found nails I have been on the hunt to find some fun nail polish colors. I’ve searched low and high, from drug store to department store, and to my dismay found nothing to write home or in this case blog about. I had almost given up all hope, when today on an unexpected visit to WalGreens I ran into the most exciting collection of nail colors. The Sinful Colors line by Mirage is completely fabulous! Not only are the colors luminous, the prices are outrageous (just $2.50 a bottle – no kidding!). Plus the colors are high-quality and quick drying. Need I say more? I recently picked up the colors “What’s Your Name?” “Rich in Heart” , “Punk Rock Purple”, and “Jupiter”. Check out the Sinful Colors website at www.sinfulcolors.com to view their latest confessions…

Beauty File: Say Yes To Carrots

I just can’t get enough of this silky smooth body butter dry-skin moisturizer. It not only feels like satin as it sinks into your skin, it instantly banishes any dry skin emergency. Yes To Carrots is a new concept in skin and hair care that combines vitamins and minerals with juices from the ‘orange color’ produce groups and Dead Sea Mud. Carrots and other orange fruits and vegetables (such as pumpkins, melons, and oranges) contain Beta-Carotene, well known for its anti-oxidant and anti-aging properties. Oddly enough, it is not orange, nor does it smell like carrots. The Yes To Carrots hair and skincare products are available exclusively at Walgreens.
