Avon Speed Dry+ Nail Enamel Polishes

Avon has been putting out some really impressive products lately!
This is actually the first time I've tried their nail products.
I'm happy that I was sent these products to share with you.

Let me start of with some of their items which can lead you on a journey to healthy nails.

I'm extremely impressed with the Speed Dry+ Nail Enamel polishes. 

I haven't met one person who doesn't dread smudging their nails!

 Nothing is worst than thinking your nails are dry then looking at them again and seeing smudges.

I know that there are several different options out there for quick nails like gels or 

dying drops but when your in a rush you really need a product like Speed Dry+ Nail Enamel.

Why you need it:

• 26 vivid colors.
• Affordable at $6.99 each.
• Different finishes- pearl.. satin..  etc.
• Fast-track your nails from wet to wow in 30 seconds!
• New improved formula with volcanic rock makes nails feel rock hard.
• Full coverage with a high-shine finish.
• No formaldehyde, toluene or dibutyl phthalate.

These get an A from me because they do exactly want they claim! 

Plus the colors are vibrant and affordable.

Quick drying!

These are also the perfect polishes to try out nail designs because they dry quickly.

 If you mess up, wipe it off and try it again!

Available as of February 2013 through Avon Independent Sales Representatives, 1-800-265-AVON or online at www.avon.ca.

I'm in Love with the Make Up For Ever PRO Finish Foundation

As a WOC, it can be hard to find your perfect match when it comes to foundation. I have a yellow undertone with a hint of red. That's why orange based foundations look horrid on me. For the past two years, I've been searching for something that can be used dry (etc. pressed powder/minerals). Everything I've found so far has been too "muddy" and just didn't look right.  

When I found out that Make Up For Ever was coming out with PRO Finish ($42.00 CDN) in February, I had to try it out! 

This portable, easy-to-use foundation can be used both wet and/or dry due to it's unique formulation. PRO Finish offers a light to medium coverage in a satin, sheer or matte full finish depending on if you use it wet or dry. The vast shade range (25 colours) caters to all skin types and skin undertones!

With 45% less talc in its formulation, PRO Finish offers a non-cakey finish with true colour payoff. PRO Finish is fast, easy, portable and above all, reliable. Whether it is used for a full application or touch ups on the go, PRO Finish caters to a wide audience when it comes to their foundation needs.

I like the Make Up For Ever HD formula but I'm in love with the PRO Finish.

I am able to control the amount of product that works best for me! I don't wear foundation regularly because I've never found one that matches my fast pace lifestyle. Now all can apply a flawless complexion and still have enough time for the rest of the face with PRO Finish.

I'm a 178 for a color reference.

Why would you want this?

• Can be used wet/dry.
• 45% less talc.
• You can choose your finish sheer, satin finish or dry for a full, matte finish.
• 25 shades with golden, neutral, and pink undertones.

Applied dry: 

Dry Application Technique:

1. Using the sponge or Kabuki Brush apply powder starting on the cheeks and nose then moving toward the chin

2. Continue to apply powder across the forehead moving outward toward the temples and down toward the sides of the face

3. Repeat if more coverage is needed

Applied wet:

Wet Application Technique:

1. Using the sponge or Kabuki Brush apply powder starting on the cheeks and nose then moving toward the chin
2. Continue to apply powder across the forehead moving outward toward the temples and down toward the sides of the face
3. Then spray with your favourite water hydrating spray.

If I had to pick my favourite application it would be wet. There are so many ways to use it. You can also apply a wet sponge or brush to the product and apply it . I prefer the water hydrating method because it looked so natural. Basically my skin but WAY better.

Fashion: The Garter/Suspender Trend

I love a great pair of pantyhose! It's a great item to throw on when you don't want to bare a lot of leg. The look of pantyhose is evolving!  Ladies are going beyond the sheer/fishnet look and are going for something much more risque!

I've been eying the garter/suspender trend for a while now. When I first saw Rihanna rocking it, I HAD to have it. I also knew off the bat that it was originated in UK.I really wanted these but I'm sure that I'd have to wait a LONG time for them to be delivered from UK to Canada.

I'm pretty sure that Rih is rocking the House of Holland for Pretty Polly Mesh Super Suspender Tights! The same tights that I recieved for review from Alexblake.com.

Alexblake.com is a new America based site that carries American brands as well as a wide range of fabulous European brands, many of which you can’t ordinarily find in North America.

I love them because they are risqué but don't show a lot! 

They look really cute with a pair of short shorts but I wore mine with an over-sized sweater dress.

Is this trend for you?
