Clinique Black Honey Goes Gel!

Did youthink that Clinique was done creating new Black Honey items? Well, my friend, we were wrong. From that classic lip shade to the perfect luminizer, Clinique's Black Honey is popping up popular again five decades later.

I Need Zom-Body To Love -- OPI Pair'Em Scare'Em Set

BOO!

(Yes, I just started this post with an attempt to virtually scare you.)
I purchased these about a week ago for a mere $6.00 at my local salon. I was considering buying Black Shatter before, but I never had the guts to pay full-prize. When I saw this, I simply couldn't resist. Two OPIs for $6? Score! Ann (not-justapretty-face.blogspot.com) also managed to get one of these sets.

Plump it Up! --Revlon Growluscious Plumping Mascara

From the moment I saw the packaging with an ombre effect, I knew I had to have it. A close friend of mine had applied it to my lashes before, but she never did it right (no offense...). It wasn't until I mustered up the courage to purchase it myself that I fell in love with this mascara. The brush was HUGE and the formula was a midnight black. Each bristle seperated lashes and stretched them longer than any mascara had ever done before. The only issue I had with it was that it was hard to take off, even with my Lancome Bi-Facil.

The size of the brush compared to my Lancome Definicils.

THE CLAIM: Conditioning formula helps strengthen and plump lashes for up to 200% instantly for maximum volume

THE VERDICT: To my surprise, I'm actually seeing a slight difference in lash length even without mascara. I guess you could say you get a moderate of volume and curl, but definitely not by 200%.I do have an issue with taking it off. However, the length it makes my lashes blew me away. 

PRICE: $7.99

Boo-tiful Halloween Nails!

Whenever I see the seasonal Glow-in-the-dark polish for sale, I simply cannot resist. My most recent find is an adorable set by OPI. Their Pair'Em Scare'Em set contains two full-size polishes. One is a glow-in-the-dark green shade named "Zom-Body To Love" (I thought making fun of Bieber was done with). The other is OPI's Black Shatter. Together, you get glow-in-the-dark nails with a shattered effect. My nearest salon's boutique is selling them for only $6! I can't wait to grab my set!

I've also been eyeing OPI's Spookettes. You get 4 mini nail polishes in perfectly themed (and named) shades. From Left: He's My Boo, Mummy KNows Best, I Only Date Werewolves, and Zom-Body To Love. This set also includes  spooky nail decals to make your nails as creepy as possible. I wish I knew more about this set, but I don't. All I know is that I want it, and I need to find out where it's sold in store. (Amazon and Ebay already carry them.)

  

Don't forget to support the cure with OPI's Pink Shatter!
