Earth Therapeutics Review| RX3 Manicure Pedicure Deluxe Kit


I have to sing the PRAISES of this product that I just recently picked up from Ulta. It is the Earth Therapeutics RX3 Manicure Pedicure Deluxe Kit... and deluxe is an understatement. For only 17 bucks this thing is WELL WORTH every penny, and more.

Inside of this neatly packaged container (which can be re-used for other things as well) is a pumice stone with a toenail brush attached to the back. There are also 2 nail clippers (one for fingers, one for toes), a cuticle trimmer, tweezers, a cuticle groomer, cuticle pusher, scissors double sided emery board, hand sanitizer, and a fingernail brush. All I can say is WOW!!!!!!

Everything is packaged so that this is the perfect gift, or item to take with you on travel. If you are a person who does their own mani's and pedi's (which I am) then you will truly appreciate this product. Everything is of good quality as well. All the pedi stuff is packaged together in a separate case, and the manicure items as well are in the CUTEST, most convenient traveling case...which I happen to have in my purse at all times in case of a broken-nail-emergency!!!

I give this set 2 thumbs up! One for being so cheap and the other for not letting its cheap price tag give cheaply made products! Kudos Earth Therapeutics, I'm a fan!!!!

Christian Dior | Miss Dior Cherie Perfume Review

Hey guys!!

So this go round I'm reviewing one of my favorite fragrances right now... Miss Dior Cherie Eau de Parfum. This is definitely a scent for the mature woman, but it still has a girlish flair to it. You can definitely smell strawberry undertones in this perfume. Christian Dior has done it again! I'm HOOKED!

There are plenty of shapes & sizes & sets you can get of this fragrance, so give it a whirl and let me know what you think! I have the Eau de Parfum which of course is much more concentrated than the Eau de Toilette... which means you don't have to use as much perfume to get a good smell and good wear out of it. I would recommend spraying it on the wrists, and rubbing it into the sides and back of your neck. You can even do one spray across your body if you'd like. JUST REMEMBER.... a little goes a LONG way!!!!

OPI TEXAS Collection Review | Lil Shooters


So I went in Ulta today and picked up a few things to make my first Haul video. I also tweeted the other day about OPI's new Spring 2011 TEXAS Collection and how I wanted some of the colors from it! Well the first thing I saw when I walked into Ulta was just that... what they didn't show in the catalogue were the mini polishes they were offering in a bundle. This review will only talk about those three polishes, though, not the entire TEXAS Collection by OPI. Each polish is 3.75mL which is more than enough for quite a few wears. The colors are Austin-tatious Turquoise which a beautiful blue-green shimmer... I Vant to Be A-Lone Star, a gorgeous sky blue.... and Do You Think I'm Tex-y? a nice berry color... you also get a RapiDry Top Coat. I would have preferred another color, but I guess that'll do!

I put each color on one of my nails to get the true effect of each color, and to my surprise... I actually liked I Vant to Be A-Lone Star the best!!! I love the baby blue shade... it's somewhat pastel looking on my hand and it just instantly makes me think of spring. The other two were okay, but just reminded me too much of Sephora by OPI color I currently own from their Christmas 2010 set I own!



All in all, I would probably say pick a few colors you like from the Texas Collection by OPI and just buy the larger size bottles, unless these three colors happen to be what you like!

Review Organix Sulfate Free Shampoo & Conditioner



So I recently decided to switch my shampoo and conditioner once I realized how negatively sulfate effects our hair. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is the main offender to be exact. With the chemistry background I have I realized that although this is probably the main ingredient helping get all the grease out of my hair... it's the exact same thing that's used in hard core, heavy duty industrial cleaner!!!

I decided to try out Organix Sulfate Free Pomegranate Shampoo and Conditioner to see if I could still get the final look I wanted with a lot less of the damage. Well not only is my hair still flowing in the wind like a chick running in a baywatch commercial, but it smells DELISH!!!!! I recommend everyone give it a try. There are different scents that meet different needs, so you may want to give the Organix Coconut a try instead. Either way, you can pick them up at CVS or Walmart and if you truly hate it, you can always return it. CVS currently has the Organix Pomegranate Shampoo on sale for half off!!!! That's about $3.50/bottle! That's a friggin steal!

Let me know if you guys like it.... and once it's all clean "Whip Your HAIR!!!!" Ha!
