Have you considered all your options when choosing an engagement ring?  Thirty years ago when I got married, there was only one choice, go to your local jewelry store and pick one out of the case.  If it wasn't your size, you had to wait for it to be sized and hope that it looked as nice as it originally did from being stretched or where material was taken away.   Today, you have so many more options.  You can still go to your local jeweler, shop at a discount store or buy online from a trusted and reputable company.  Best of all, you can now order online a WhiteFlash.com designer ring . Verragio Insignia Collection INS-7074R WhiteFlash offers some of the finest designer engagement rings in the world today.  You can choose your setting from five world class designers such as Verragio, Ritani, Vatche, Leon Mege and Benchmark, then let them build your dream ring from top quality materials.  Craftsmanship and style is top notch and don't we deserve the be...

Tonight, I have for you the first of 4 reviews for the new Milani COLORstatement True Instant Color Lipsticks and Lipliners in Oranges & Reds. This brand is cruelty-free and I hope you enjoy them as much as I have. The lipsticks contain Vitamins A, C & E to moisturize lips and come in a one stroke, creamy, lightweight formula that offers full coverage application.  The lipliners offer an easy glide formula to line and fill and is long-lasting. I have worn several of the lipsticks so far and have found them long-wearing and very pleasing to the eye.  I didn't think I would be able to pull off the Oranges because of my skin-tone, but they looked great.  The lipliners glided from the bows to the outer corners of my lips with no tugging or pulling.  They easily fill in the whole lip if you like to give you longer lasting color and a base for your lipstick.

Tonight, I'm bringing you another product from Reviva Labs.  I have really enjoying reviewing their products and discovering some that I might not normally find.  This brand is one of the most affordable that I have seen that actually works...and works well. After 3 or 4 nights of using the Reviva Labs Skin Energizing Gel , I could tell a difference.  It stimulates skin's metabolism, improves clarity, firms up texture and can help lessen the appearance of wrinkles.  It also can help improve the performance of your other creams/moisturizers because your skin is working better.  This product can be used nightly, alone or under your regular night cream.  Available on their website in a 2 oz bottle for $10. Ingredients include purified water, algae extract (Hawaiian seaplant), phenoxyenthanol and clorphenesin and sodium dehydroaceteate (preservative system). I have reviewed the above products by Reviva Labs, you can find the links below. Reviva Labs Makeup Prim...

How many makeup primers do you have sitting on your vanity or in your bathroom drawers that rarely if ever get used?  Yeah, me too!  The purpose of a makeup primer is to make your face look as flawless as possible and keep it looking that way throughout the day.  I have one I think you should try, I had great success with it. Reviva Labs Makeup Primer can be used over moisturizer or alone under makeup.  A pea-sized drop goes a long way.  My face felt silky but not greasy and my makeup went on so much smoother.  I feel like I use less makeup in 2 ways....one is I feel like I used less when applying and with the primer helping my makeup last longer, I don't have to reapply half way through the day.  This saves me money in the long run with expensive as base and powder are.  This product really helps with my oily skin and keeping my makeup in place and feeling less oily.  You can find the Reviva Labs Makeup Primer on their site, one o...

One of my favorite products from Milani Cosmetics is their eye liners, so I can't wait to review these! Sparkling intense color, long-lasting, waterproof formula.   The ultrafine felt-tip applicator makes it easy to apply a thick or thin line and dries down to a sparkling finish. Black also available in a vinyl finish! I want them all, especially the Prismatic Purple and Emerald Glisten. *Press Release

If you don't know by now, Green is my favorite color.  Now when you take a deep/jewel tone green, add flakies and shimmer, you have a polish that captures my heart!  Jen from The PolishAholic was picked recently by piCture pOlish as one of six bloggers to collaborate in making their favorite polishes.  This polish is called Mallard...birds of a feather polish together. I used 2 coats, application was very smooth with this formula.  I topped with one coat of Seche Vite and so far after 24 hours of wear, is still perfect, no wear or chips.  Pictures were taken with natural light.  You can order piCture pOlish  through their website or click on The Network to find a local distributor.  piCture pOlish is an Australian company, 3-free and never tests on animals. *Polish was purchased by me. @picturepolish #nailpolish #bbcoalition #beautyblogger

I have been a Julep Maven since their introductory box came out in August 2011 and they never cease to amaze me!  I receive their regular Julep Maven Box each month to review as part of their blogger program, but when I saw the chance to upgrade this month for $35, I took it.  This month's theme is "Get On The A List", featuring  rich, smoky colors and glitzy holographics inspired by classic Hollywood icons and modern leading ladies.   It came packaged as a larger box and a small ribbon wrapped bag.   Enclosed in the ribbon wrapped bag were the products below, all new to the Julep line up this month.  (Left to Right)  Oxygen Nail Treatment, described by Julep as "Makeup for your nails!", Freedom Polymer Top Coat, "Goes on like a polish, performs like a gel".  And as a bonus, Julep's Travel/Folding Eyelash Curler.  I can't wait to tell you more about these products, they deserve a separate post. In the bigger white box and part of the upgrade ...
