<\/a>Butter London Melt Away Cuticle Exfoliator<\/strong>\u2014Ever since I was a little girl, I\u2019ve been nail obsessed.\u00a0 And I\u2019ve always given my cuticles extra special attention.\u00a0 I\u2019ve never been able to understand when others do not do the same for themselves.\u00a0 So, when I grew-up and started having manicures, the nail techs have constantly complimented me on not only my nails, but my cuticles, as well, because they usually don\u2019t need to do any additional grooming on them.\u00a0 But during my recent siege of pneumonia, my cuticles were the last thing on my mind.\u00a0 So, needless to say, when I recovered, and tried to push them back, I was horrified at how unpliable they had become.\u00a0 Enter this amazing product, and in under three minutes, my cuticle<\/em> health was back even stronger than the health of the rest of my body!\u00a0 I\u2019ll never be without it again.<\/p>\n<\/a>Woda Clay and Charcoal Mask<\/strong>–This twice-weekly mask is touted to give you \u201cbeautiful skin in an instant.\u201d\u00a0 And I\u2019m here to tell you\u2014that\u00a0is exactly what it does!\u00a0 Mr. X even noticed, the very first time I used it.\u00a0 My face really did \u201clook clearer and more radiant,\u201d as it claims on their site.\u00a0 And the best part for all of you is that, since I\u2019ve had a few others try it, as well, I can affirm that it really is perfect for all<\/em> skin types.\u00a0 I think I\u2019ll actually go use it again right now!\u00a0 Thanks, me.<\/p>\n<\/a>SpaRitual\u2019s Inhale Nail Polish Collection<\/strong>\u2014Not only is this new line vegan, (which an increasing number of people seem to care about,) but the reason I\u2019m now a fan of these beautiful new pastels is because they need no base or top coats!\u00a0 And for uber-busy peeps such as myself, that\u2019s a godsend!\u00a0 And they\u2019re here just in time for summer, when not only are these shades in vogue, but with so many outdoor activities, (swimming, volleyball, sidewalk sales,) polish needs to be changed more often.\u00a0 So, to be able to skip a couple of usual steps is such a pleasure.<\/p>\n<\/a>Nudestix Concealer Pencil and<\/em> Clean-Up Pencil<\/strong>\u2014These are two items I cannot live without!\u00a0 First up, let me tell you about the concealer. I don’t know what I’d do without this! Several years ago, I had Mohs surgery for skin cancer—on my nose!\u00a0 Let’s just say that my surgeon was far less than an artist, and left a crazy depressed white scar. (But the scar is less depressed than I<\/em> am over it!) It’s taken me years to perfect just how to disguise it, and since I was an artist when I was young, I put that thinking cap on and realized I had to lighten-up the negative space around the hole!\u00a0 This concealer pencil (I use Medium 4) is the perfect shade and consistency to do the trick!\u00a0 And it\u2019s the easiest make-up tool to use!\u00a0 I just draw it into the dark space, as with a crayon, and smooth it in some more with a flat brush, and I’m an artist all over again!\u00a0 (Only, since the canvas is my face<\/em> this time, it’s much more important than a picture of, say, a clown!)\u00a0 After I do that, I also dot it over any tiny dark spots on my face, and a bit under my eyes.\u00a0 I don’t even wear face make-up over it!\u00a0 A swoop of bronzer and blush, and I’m as good as new!\u00a0 And I always keep my Nudestix Clean-up Pencil handy, for any little make-up messes that need removing throughout the day.\u00a0 You just dab the error with it, (which is usually lower lash mascara in my case,) and poof\u2014it\u2019s gone!\u00a0 It\u2019s a make-up bag necessity.<\/p>\n<\/a>Gerard Cosmetics Metal-Matte Liquid Lipstick in Dreamweaver<\/strong>\u2014My friends and I practically fight over this lip color, which makes your lips just about glow!\u00a0 We all want to wear this one all the time, and we actually can do it even when we\u2019re together because it looks a bit different on everyone.\u00a0 The entire line of metal colors is fabulous, but Dreamweaver is special because it imparts a beautiful and sexy golden shimmer, while still being a neutral. \u00a0I have a feeling that it looks great on all<\/em> lips, but I like to think it\u2019s just mine<\/em>.<\/p>\n
