Check out this cute nail tutorial from OPI. It’s inspired by the Muppets new movie Muppets Most Wanted, being released this month. They also have a full line of nail polish coming out with 8 shades.

OPI announces the launch of eight new limited edition nail lacquers inspired by Disney’s Muppets Most Wanted. With an all-star cast including Kermit the Frog, Constantine, Ricky Gervais, Miss Piggy, Ty Burrell, Tina Fey and the whole Muppet gang, this family comedy is directed by James Bobin and written by Bobin and Nicholas Stoller. Muppets Most Wanted opens in theaters on March 21, 2014.

“The Muppets are a fun-loving, colorful cast of characters. These eight new nail lacquers were inspired by their latest adventures in Disney’s Muppets Most Wanted, which include a glamorous international stage tour – and lots of surprises,” explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Co-Founder & Executive VP. “Fashionable Miss Piggy is represented through soft pink, peach and pearlescent hues, as well as a frosty sapphire blue – Miss Piggy’s Big Number – to match her fabulous tour gown. The remaining four shades highlight the film’s unexpected elements and include a color-shifting mauve and three sparkle-packed lacquers – including my personal favorite Gaining Mole-mentum, a gold and rose chunky shredded glitter.”

Dove Women’s Deodorant

October 7, 2013 by Samantha 5 Comments

Dove have been a trusted leader in skin care products for years and one of the best products in their lines is their women’s deodorant. In fact their newest formula takes a classic favorite and makes it even better.

Dove Deodorant

What they say-

Did you know? When underarm skin is irritated by shaving, it can respond by creating dark marks.

The solution — Dove Clear Tone Skin Renew Deodorant. Its unique formula, made with calendula and sunflower seed extracts, moisturizes to accelerate the natural skin renewal process, helping to visibly reduce dark marks and even tone with regular use over time, while providing 48-hour odor and wetness protection.

Experience superior care for your underarms that stays on skin — not on clothes.

What I Say

Women have to deal with a plethora of odd issues, one of which is red and discolored underarms. This discoloration is caused by dryness and irritation which comes about from shaving. Rich lotions and ointments on your underarms can lead to more irritation and bigger problems then you started with. Dove saw issue with that and formulated a new deodorant that provides 48 hour protection and helps to replenish skin. All this and the options of a light floral fruity scent, pink rosa, and a simple unscented formula lead to one heck of a good deodorant. The deodorant is meant to be used for 2 weeks before a change can be noticed so please give it some time. But after about two weeks I noticed a slight change in the condition of the skin of my underarms. I also like the smell of Dove, and it lasts a long time.

Brazilian Spa Clay Wax from Nair

Disclosure: The below mentioned Nair Spa Clay products were provided to me to help facilitate my review. All opinions are my own and honest. I am disclosing this in accordance to FTC Guidelines. Please see “Disclose” tab for more information.

Everyone loves to pamper themselves a little bit now and then. I think that everyone should try out the Nair Brazilian Spa Clay line of luxurious hair removal treatments, that are each inspired by secrets of the Brazilian Spa.

About Nair:

Shaving truly slices off the ends of your hair. It can leave a shape edge behind. After the rough cut edges emerge from your skin, you can feel the stubbly feeling as you run your hands over your skin.

Using Nair Lotions is great, because they don’t cut hair, they dissolve the hair below the surface. They then leave behind a smooth finish.

Using Nair Waxes is great. Waxing removes hair well below, at root level. The results of waxing can last up to 8 weeks.

Waxing at home rather than at the salon can save you a great deal of money.

About Nair Brazilian Spa Clay:

The Nair Brazilian Spa Clay is infused with moisturizing mango butter, acai berry and mineral-rich clay. These will leave your skin smooth and radiantly beautiful at a fraction of the cost you would spend at the salon.

Olay-Must Have Beauty Products

Disclosure:The Beauty and Body products from Olay were provided to me to help facilitate my review. All opinions are my own and honest. I am disclosing this in accordance to FTC Guidelines. Please see “Disclose” tab for more information.

I love finding great products for my face. I also love finding great products for my body. It’s even better when I can find great products for my face and body all from the same line. Olay products are a great hit for my body as well as my face.

About Olay:

All of their ingredients are substantiated for safety over a lifetime of intended use prior to manufacturing. They conduct over 250 separate safety evaluations for new Olay product formulas just last year alone.

About the Products I Tested:

Olay Body Lotion:

I was able to try out the Olay Body Lotion. I was definitely a huge fan of it. The Olay Body Lotion moisturizes to then repair the moisture barrier to help prevent future dryness. This also breaks the cycle of dry skin. With regular use of Olay lotion, you skin will stay hydrated, supple and radiant.

This just might be my favorite lotion. I definitely can feel it moisturize my body, and at the same time I never feel oily or greasy.

Age Defying Body Wash:

This is a moisturizing Body Wash. This great body wash gently cleanses you skin with soap-free formula that rinses clean. This can help condition even the driest skin. The best thing about this, is the fact that it is a soap-free formula.

I have pretty sensitive skin, but I must admit I too was extremely impressed with this awesome body wash. It does a great job and I don’t feel like I have to put tons of lotion on as soon as I get out of the shower.
