Dazzle Dry

Another great beauty product I had the pleasure of reviewing is the Dazzle Dry Nail Polish Kit! They have a great fall line of colors to suit any occasion or mood. Not only does this nail polish dry in only 5 minutes, but it is also vegan, and uses no animal products! I received the Savory Cranberry color. It is the perfect fall color, reminds me of the golden red color of the leaves falling from the trees!

My daughter and I sat down a couple of weekends ago to have a mini spa night and give ourselves mani’s and pedi’s. The first step is to apply the Nail Prep, it is an adhesion promoter that helps keep your polish on for weeks! Next we applied the base coat that dried so quickly when I was done with all 40 nails, we were ready to apply the color! After the color the last step in the kit is the quick drying top coat. It went on easily over our color and all was dried in about 5 minutes!!

I was happy that I could apply a nail polish to my 4 year old daughter that didn’t have the harmful ingredients of Camphor, Formaldehyde, Toluene, and Phthalate that most nail polishes have, plus she could go play with her toys in no time! VB cosmetics the maker of Dazzle Dry is a U.S. company that does not test on animals and uses recycled materials for their packaging.

We were able to flaunt our nail polish around for almost two weeks with no chips or wear to them (even through a remodel of our basement!) I was able to enjoy an evening of beauty with my daughter while having the comfort of a responsible product that stood up to all it said it would.

A product was received for review. I was not paid in any form of cash for this posting. The opinions expressed are my own and were NOT influenced in any way.

Artistry Skin Care and Cosmetics

I am a girly girly at heart and love my make-up! I was excited to try out the Reflective Beauty Trend Collection by Artisty. World-renowned makeup artist Frances Hathaway has partnered with Artistry Skin Care and Cosmetics to create this romantic, modern, and chic cosmetic line. They have created beautiful pallets with their new color combination and five new products. I tried out the following items:

1) Reflective Beauty Face Palette ─ Perfection: Create gorgeous eyes and cheeks while enhancing warm skin tones with the Perfection Face Palette. Colours featured are deep indigo, jeweled green, golden silkscreen, and warm peach. Pair with the Perfect Red Lip Gloss to boost the impact.

2) Reflective Beauty Face Palette ─ Inspiration: Enlighten your look and complement cool skin tones with the Inspiration Face Palette. Its amethyst and pink shades offer densely pigmented tones for eyes and cheeks to set a retro romantic mood

3) Ultimate Blue Coloured Mascara: This mascara is richly pigmented with navy to amplify and brighten eyes, while deepening lashes.
.
4) Soft Pink Lip Gloss: Soft Pink can either be used to tint lips with a hint of colour or punctuate lip colour with a glossy shine. It produces a multidimensional effect.

5) Perfect Red Lip Gloss: Perfect Red is a strong colour that makes a statement. It pairs well with the inspiration colour quad.

I was first impressed with the packaging of the face palettes; they come in a velvet like compact bag with a separate retractable multi-purpose blush brush. The colours that are included are great for eyes and cheeks, depending on what kind of look you are going for. There are so many different colour combinations that can be made!

When I opened up the Ultimate Blue Coloured Mascara, I was surprised at how blue the mascara seemed and immediately had a flash back to the early 90’s when I would buy the brightest blue I could find! But I was relieved when I put it on, and it looked black on my eye lashes, but gave my eyes a lighter and brighter appearance!

By far my favorite was the lip gloss! The colours are perfect for fall and winter. It is a non sticky gloss that provides hours of colour in just the right shades! The sleek tube design is great to slip into your pocket or clutch and take with you for day or night!

If you are looking for a new, modern cosmetic line, give Artistry a try. They even have a make over section on their website that allows you to up load your picture, or use one of their models, and the Reflective Beauty Trend Collection to see how to apply the make-up to achieve the results you are looking for. Artistry also offers many different cosmetic lines, and skin care products.
