Eye Know They're the Windows to My Soul! AKA: mama mio's Eye Know High Protein Moisturizing Eye Serum

I'm kind of a newb when it comes to taking care of my eyes area, but I'm fully on board now (well, maybe half on board). I've tried a few different creams and so far mama mio's Eye Know High Protein Moisturizing Eye Serum is my favorite!

Nail the Look-AKA: butter LONDON New York Fashion Week Spring 2013

So maybe I can't fit into a sample size, and perhaps I don't quite have the budget for all the designer duds I would like, BUT I can mimic the exact trend displayed during New York Fashion Week-with my nail polish! And so can you! See how butter LONDON styled the nails of the models for Erin Fetherston, Veda, and Kaelen:

ERIN FETHERSTON

Overall Look: The designer's signature feminine style had a bit of an edge. The collection consisted of flirty, feminine silhouettes with zippers, studs and texture.

Nail Design: The models weren't wearing bracelets or rings because Erin wanted the nails to be the accessory for the hands. Metallic nails mimicked the look of jewelry, lending itself to the ultimate eye-catching accessory. We used Lillibet's Jubilee, a silver metallic colour with a lilac finish that adds a feminine touch to the rock & roll vintage feel.

Details: The nails were naturally rounded for a feminine finish.

I Loathe Olives, But I Love a Dirty Martini! AKA: From Dusk Til Dawn NCLA Fall 2012

From Dusk Till Dawn-NCLA's Fall 2012 Nail Lacquer Collection

I already waxed poetic on how much I love NCLA's fabulous nail lacquers (it's here, in case you missed it)-from the packaging, to the names, and the superb formula-it's truly become one of my favorite brands. The new lacquer collection for Fall 2012 does not disappoint... once again I want every shade (I may have a problem, lovelies). But who could blame me with shades like these?

Shockingly, Amazingly GOOD!!!-AKA: LaLicious Vanilla Whipped Body Soap

LaLicious Vanilla Whipped Body Soap (get it here: http://rstyle.me/fmmgj4nade) 

I'm all about "smell goods," and I love bath and body products (really you should see my collection-I might be a tad bit obsessed), so I was excited to try LaLicious, though I had never heard of the brand before. I might be over stating things (but only slightly) when I say that this soap is LIFE CHANGING! After one use, I was sufficiently spoiled and looking at all other body washes in my collection in derision. Yeah, it really is THAT GOOD...

Who Knew Lettuce Could Smell This Good?!? AKA-New Italian Imports From CO Bigelow

Alghiero Campostrini Soap in Bar Silk (Seta)

I'm generally a body wash type of gal and the hubby prefers bar soap (obviously, I'm the ying to his yang). So when I got the chance to try out one of these new Italian imports from CO Bigelow, I knew that at least if it wasn't my style, someone in my home would enjoy it. Boy was I surprised when I received a selection from the Alighiero Campostrini Season Soap Collection! It smells so delicious, lathers so well, and leaves my skin feeling so soft-the hubby can stick with his Dial soap, 'cause this one is all mine!
