Orly Nail Polish in Bubbly Bombshell

Picture Credit: Imperfectly Painted

Orly's Bubbly Bombshell was originally released with the Pin-Up Collection in the Summer of 2011. Bubbly Bombshell is a clear based glitter. Orly describes it as purple but it seems more fuchsia to me. This nail polish is chock full of glitter in two different sizes, a micro glitter and some hexagonal pieces as well. You can either use this as a top coat or you can use it by itself. By itself Bubbly Bombshell takes about two to three coats to become completely opaque. Like all glitter polishes you will definitely want to use a top coat to bring out the true shine and sparkle of this nail polish. 

Ruby Kisses HD Nail Polish in Mickey Mouse Me

No Flash

Flash

This is the other HD nail polish color that I was sent for review purposes by Ruby Kisses Cosmetics. This would have to be my favorite of the two. The "greige" or grayish beige color is very popular and I have a lot of them. This one is different from what I already own. I would almost describe the color as chocolate milk. I find the first picture to be more accurate but not completely. This would be a gorgeous color for almost any skin tone. These nail polishes along with other Ruby Kisses products can be found at most beauty supply stores or are also sold online. I think these polishes are a great value for the price. 

Jack Black Balm Squad Lip Quad

I absolutely love the Jack Black lip balms. Yes, I know they are meant to be for men but I don't care. These lip balms are super moisturizing and have a SPF of 25. My boyfriend got a set of these for Christmas last year and when I was recently browsing Nordstrom.com I saw this new set. I immediately put it in my cart, because the "flavors" seemed super interesting. The flavors included in this set are Natural Mint & Shea Butter, Grapefruit & Ginger, Shea Butter & Vitamin E and Acai Berry & Vanilla. Acai Berry and Vanilla sounds like it will be the one I like the most. This set retails for $25.00 but its a $30.00 value. I am not sure if this is a set only available for the holidays, but I would suggest picking it up especially if you are already a Jack Black fan! 

Orly Spellbound Flash Glam FX Collection

Orly recently re-released three of the polishes from their Flash Glam FX collection in a trio for Halloween. The three colors are Monster Mash (Green), Right Amount Of Evil (Orange), and R.I.P. (Black and Red). On the displays in store they also have Liquid Vinyl which is from their permanent collection. The Flash Glam FX polishes retail for $10.00 but Liquid Vinyl is only $8.50. If you purchase them at Ulta, like I did, right now they are buy two get one free. I picked up all three of the Flash Glam FX polishes but skipped on Liquid Vinyl as I already have a black creme polish. I really like these polishes and hope they release more colors in the future as I missed out on the original release.

E.L.F. Studio HD Blush Fall 2012

Superstar

Showstopper

Headliner

Diva

Encore

I am so glad that a drugstore brand has finally come out with something that seems to be a dupe of the Make Up For Ever HD Blushes at a fraction of the price. The Make Up For Ever blushes retail for $26.00 and the E.L.F. ones retail for only $3. Thats a huge difference. Right now E.L.F. has only released five different shades but they vary in shades. I personally ordered Headliner and Superstar for the moment to see how they end up working out on my skin. E.L.F. promises highly pigmented color that creates a long-lasting result for all day wear. I cannot wait for these to come in the mail along with some other goodies that I ordered. I will definitely post a review once I actually get them in the mail. These are available for purchase on the E.L.F. website for now but I hope to see them in stores soon.

Hard Candy World Balmination in Good Girl

Hard Candy is one of my favorite drugstore brands for several reasons, mainly because of the quality of the products. One of my favorite products from them is their tinted lip balm, which they call World Balmination. I love how catchy the names of their products are. The one that I picked up is called Good Girl. This shade is the perfect peachy pink. World Balmination lip balms don't have a whole lot of pigmentation to them, but they do have a great glossy finish. This line of lip balms is very moisturizing and have a great lemony sugar scent to them. These lip balms retail for only $3.00 exclusively at Wal-Mart. Way to go Hard Candy!!
