SinfulColors Holiday 2011 Collection - WISH

Photobucket


Bells are jingling, snow is glistening and merry tunes abound: It's the season of shimmer (aka: the holidays) and glamour, of course. And your nails deserve a little gift and loving too. Welcome the SinfulColors Holiday 2011 Collection, Wish, which delights and excites. The collection takes classic colors - like red, green, silver and blue - and kicks them up a notch to be fashion-forward and festive to ring in 2012.

SinfulColors Wish Collection

Five gem-inspired shades of polish:
SUGAR SUGAR: a candy cane, red-hot tint
MIDNIGHT BLUE: a bold, bright twist on navy
LAST CHANCE: an emerald with depth and allure
DADDY'S GIRL: a deep purple with a drizzle of shimmer and glitter
OUT OF THIS WORLD: a perfect silver with swirls of glimmer

Two metallic shades of nail art:
FLOWER GIRL: a bronzy gold with tons of sparkle
FASHIONISTA: a glitter-laden pewter


Photobucket


Inexpensive.

Amazing shades. Sugar Sugar and Last Chance are my favorites!

Pigmented. All swatches shown have two coats except for Daddy's Girl. It is quite sheer and it took me four coats to achieve that shade.

Long-lasting.


What's not to like?!


SinfulColors surpasses the masses with more than 150 amazing shades of nail polish, including the above-mentioned shades. I was sent this collection to try for the holidays but all hues are available for $1.99 at major drug and mass-market stores nationwide, by calling 1-800-448-076 or online at www.walgreens.com.

Kelly Clarkson: Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)



What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger
Just me, myself, and I
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Stand a little taller
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone

Photobucket


Dr.'s Remedy®  Enriched Nail Polishes Jolly & Joy Holiday 2011 Collection
Seasonal shades to enchant, inspire, and ignite!


Photobucket


Dr.'s Remedy® is a line of doctor-inspired cosmetics that is dedicated to using clean, hypoallergenic ingredients. Dr.'s Remedy proves quintessentially-perfect for any person looking to better the condition of her skin and nails. Dr.'s Remedy is sold exclusively at www.remedynails.com for $17.00.


You can view more shades here. They also have Facebook and Twitter accounts.


Photobucket


I was sent the Jolly & Joy Collection last month.


Photobucket


REVIVE Ruby Red - A shimmer-infused, Wizard of Oz-inspired shade of crimson.

PASSION Purple - A bombshell-boysenberry with subtle silver meshed throughout.

ESSENTIAL Emerald - A take on the classic tree-and-plant-inspired gem of a shade, with delicate glimmer and unparalleled amounts of glamour.

SERENE Silver Glitter - A seasonal sizzler like no other: shine, chic, totally unique in the metallic scene.

RESOLUTION Red Glitter - A red-meets-copper spin that's sequin-look-alike laden with high-shine and sparkle.


I've worn all five shades and now I am ready to write a review for you.


Photobucket


Affordable. $17.00 is a reasonable price for a healthy alternative to commercial nail polishes.

Good packaging. These remind me of Chanel nail polishes.

 Rich and radiant shades. Perfect for the holidays! REVIVE is my favorite.

Hypoallergenic ingredients. Great for people with brittle nails.

Highly pigmented and smooth application. Two coats are all I need to achieve the shade on the bottle.

Dries fast and long-lasting. I do suggest using a good quality top coat especially when wearing SERENE and RESOLUTION. I ran out of my Seche Vite (Dr.'s Remedy® carries good top and base coats too!) and used an N.Y.C. top coat over RESOLUTION and it chipped after a few hours.

Doesn't stain and comes off easily with any nail polish remover.


Photobucket




I highly recommend Dr.'s Remedy® Enriched Nail Polishes to people with weak nails and sensitive skin. I've noticed healthier nails after using all five and my nails were healthy to begin with


I hope this review was helpful and let me know if this line of enriched nail polishes is something you would want to try.

Private Selection® Miniature Vanilla Cream Puffs Review

Photobucket


I'm a BzzAgent and I got my first BzzKit this month. I was given coupons to try the Private Selection® Frozen Foods.


Photobucket


Private Selection® collection of premium foods are available exclusively at the Kroger family of stores. I went to my local Ralphs and decided to try the Private Selection® Miniature Vanilla Cream Puffs.

Regular price: $6.99


Photobucket


I used my free frozen dessert coupon.


Photobucket


I like the packaging and the inviting photo of the dessert.


Photobucket


There are 30 cream puffs in each box and for $6.99, I think that's a pretty good deal. If you have a Ralphs Reward Card, you can get one for a dollar less.


Photobucket


These are great for entertaining and a delicious quick dessert.


Photobucket


I will definitely get some more cream puffs for Christmas and I am also looking forward to trying the frozen pizzas and appetizers.



Are you familiar with Private Selection® Frozen Foods?
