H&M Dark Blue Blazer

Nail of the Day: Zoya Crystal

Today I'm wearing Crystal by Zoya, which is a metallic sky blue with gold flecks in it. I love my Zoya nail polishes because they are so opaque, shiny, long-lasting, and they are 3 free! 
Here are some pictures!

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash

Hey everyone! I'm doing a bunch of reviews on the products I got in my Influenster box, the Spring Beauty VoxBox 2012. This one is the Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash. DISCLAIMER: I was sent this product for free by Influenster, but I AM NOT BEING PAID/SPONSORED & all opinions are my own. :)
This daily body wash cleanses and moisturizes for visibly healthier skin every time you shower. Its breakthrough formula combines natural colloidal oatmeal - long known to soothe skin - with a unique blend of natural oils and emollients, to help replenish skin's natural moisture. The creamy body wash lathers gently and then rinses clean, resulting in softer, smoother, healthier-looking skin long after you shower. It's lightly fragranced, soap free, dye-free, and hypoallergenic so it's gentle enough for sensitive skin.


I got a sample sized one (2 fl oz. / 59 mL) which will be awesome for traveling. The full sized one retails for $5.99 to $8.99 and the bottle is 12 fl oz / 354 mL.

Sally Hansen Salon Effects

Hey everyone! I'm doing a bunch of reviews on the products I got in my Influenster box, the Spring Beauty VoxBox 2012. This one is the Sally Hansen Salon Effects in Frock Star. DISCLAIMER: I was sent this product for free, but I AM NOT BEING PAID/SPONSORED & all opinions are my own. :)
  
           


I got the one in Frock Star.


 







 On the box it reads:
  • Lasts up to 10 Days
  • No Dry Time
  • Can be removed with nail polish remover
  • Comes in 40 types of designs 
It comes with:
  • 16 Nail Polish Strips
  • Cuticle Stick
  • Mini File
  • Buffer
I'm so excited to try this out, this design looks like a dupe for Deborah Lippman's Happy Birthday. The only thing I don't like about these is that they are made of real nail polish so they can and will dry out once you've opened the package. This product retails for $9.99.
Let me know what is your favorite design!
