Best Top Coat!

Not too long ago, I did a comparison between the Seche Vite and the Sally Hansen top coats. In the end, I said I preferred the Sally Hansen, but it still wasn't perfect for me. Well, I'm happy to say that I have finally found the perfect top coat...

OPI's RapiDry Top Coat!

Now this may not be big news to anybody else but this is the first time I've tried it. It's definitely the best top coat I have tried and it basically has the best aspects of the Sally Hansen and the Seche Vite. It makes your nails dry quickly, adds shine, and protects them. It's also very easy to work with and apply. It doesn't have the thick goopiness like Seche Vite nor did it create bubbles on my nails like Sally Hansen often did.

So, this is hopefully my final verdict on the matter. Which top coat is your favorite?

The Royal Wedding

The royal wedding was one of the most anticipated events of the year, as people all across the world tuned in to watch the extraordinary event. I, of course, was keeping an eye out for the fashion. Kate Middleton looked absolutely gorgeous and Prince William also looked amazing. Even before the wedding, many people were anticipating what Kate would choose as her dress. Well, I think her wedding dress was perfect for the occasion - it was sleek, elegant, and showed off her figure beautifully. That waist is so tiny!

Not only was her wedding dress beautiful, so was her reception dress. This also showed off her tiny waist and was definitely a princess dress. No doubt indeed, Kate already has the style of a princess.

And of course, I love to keep an eye out for all of those fun hats! Princess Beatrice's hat has created the most buzz as many are dubbing it the worst hat of the royal wedding.

Hair Products!

So recently I received this free product with a purchase and finally decided to give it a try. I'm talking about the Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Renewal Nourishing Styling Treatment, which was titled Best Hair Treatment by the Self Magazine Healthy Beauty Awards in May 2010. Now I have to admit, when I first tried it I was worried because the texture was very oily, which is no surprise since it contains Argan Oil from Morocco. The problem is my hair already gets greasy quickly, so I didn't want to make that any worse.

This is what it looks like:

Looks like pure oil, right?

I gave it a try anyways, and it turns out that I really love this product. The trick is that I only put it in when my hair was half-dry starting halfway through my hair and to the ends, and not on my roots. The ends of your hair is where you need the most moisture and protection anyways. I noticed that once it was dry, it was so much softer and a lot easier to manage. On the container, it also says it helps hair dry faster, but I didn't notice a significant change. Despite my initial hesitation, I really do think this product makes a significant impact on my hair and keeps it healthy. And it's so much softer now!

You can get this product in the 4.2 oz from Beauty Brands (where I got it for free) for $19.98 or on Amazon for $10.99, not including shipping.

Now that I have super soft hair, my goal for summer is to create perfect waves. One product I have heard about and am interested in purchasing is the Frederic Fekkai Tousled Wave Spray, which is $24 for 5 oz at Nordstrom's or Dillard's. My hair is naturally straight, so sometimes I have trouble with making it look wavy and natural. If anyone has tried this product, please let me know! Also, what are your favorite hair products?

LOTD: MAC Peachstock

Today's lip is MAC's Peachstock. This is a Satin Limited Edition from their past Liberty of London Collection. It's a lovely creamy nude, and obviously peachy. I would say this is quite similar to Lady Gaga Viva Glam 2, but has a little more color and is more matte. I love nudes, so it's no surprise that I'm a fan of this one.

Recent Anne Hathaway Looks

Anne Hathaway has recently been promoting her new animated film, Rio and has stepped out with several amazing looks. The first was at the Rio premiere on March 22 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I love this feminine look and that lace dress is to die for!

The second was on April 10 for the Rio Los Angeles premiere. I love the glasses, it's totally geek chic! The dress is definitely unique, but I think she pulls it off.

What do you think? Which look do you like the best?

Shoe Steal!

As I mentioned before, I was at Target and came across these adorable sandals! And guess what? They were only $15! I was so excited that I got them for so cheap! For those of you that are interested, they are the Merona Emeline. As of now, they are on sale on the Target website for $12, and they also come in black, gold, and pewter. I've only worn them a few times, but from what I can tell they are comfortable and I haven't had any problems. I would say for me they run true to size, but I read reviews that they ran half a size large.

What do you think? Let me know of any shoe steals you've found!

Smashbox O-Gloss Review

When I was a kid, I used to love mood rings. Smashbox's O-Gloss is basically the same thing, but for lips. Once you apply it, it transforms into your own custom shade of pink. It's kind of a cool concept, so I wanted to give it a go. The lip gloss is very moisturizing and gives a nice shine. However, the color was not as exciting as I wanted it to be. I was expecting it to turn my lips more pink, but instead it looks the same color, just a little shinier. My friends have had better luck though, so it just depends on you.

For this product, I would recommend trying it at your local Sephora to make sure you like the effect it has on you.

Here are some pictures:
