Rapid Review: the original beautyblender

Hello!

How do you apply your foundation? I've always alternated between using a foundation brush and using (clean!) fingers. I never really went for sponges because I feared they would soak up, and thus waste, a lot of product. Today's review is on the product that changed my mind- the beautyblender.

Review and Swatches: Urban Decay Nail Polish in Mars

Hello!

Coming up to the holiday season, I always go a little crazy with nail polish. During the year I try to keep it neutral and work-place appropriate (read: pretty but boring) but around the holidays I can go as bright, dark, metallic or glittery as I like. So this review is about the goregous green that is Urban Decay's Mars Nail Polish.

Review and Swatches: OPI Skyfall Collection Nail Polish in Live and Let Die

Hello!

Here's part two to the picture I used for my Urban Decay Mars Nail Polish review. This time, it's just the pinky finger that's relevant to the post. Sorry, I was going to do a full hand of each, but I felt that was just silly.
