Essie's Go Overboard & Luxeffects Reviews

A review on Essie's Spring 2012 Go Overboard Collection and Essie's Holiday 2011 Luxeffects Collections! ENJOY!

Essie's Holiday 2011 Luxeffects Collection

Continuing with the second part of my newest video is a review on Essie's Luxeffects! Essie rarely makes textured, glitter or flakies polishes & they surprised us all with their Holiday 2011 Luxeffects Collection! Luxeffects consists of 5, meant to be, topcoats with all different textures in a clear base. These shades are meant to be worn over your favorite polish to create a unique finish. This collection consists of 2 glitter polishes & 3 flakies polishes. They have a thick, gummy texture which all cause for a different application. One coat will give you a light, more sporadic finish. Two coats will begin to cover and three coats will give you an ultra, layered, covered look. Super fun collection. You can purchase wherever Essie is sold, drugstores, beauty supplies, Target or online.
PRICE: $8



Essie's Spring 2012 Go Overboard Collection

Hey pals! It's a wonderful time of year for nail polish because the Spring collections are being released and in my opinion the Spring/Summer collections are the most fun! My latest video includes a review of Essie's Spring 2012 Go Overboard Collection that consists of 3 beautiful colors! ENJOY!
PRICE: $8

Armed and Ready is a taupe, khaki, olive, green creme polish with gold micro shimmers. With greens leading the polish trend right now, this color is perfection. Essie surprised us with this shade, extremely unexpected and unique to release this as a Spring shade (AND I LOVE IT!) It has a nice formula and goes on super smooth. Every color in this collection covers with one coat but two coats is preferred. Essie rarely makes green polishes so get your hands on this one while you can.





LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT! This color made me "go overboard" when I first saw it! GORGEOUS! Go Overboard is the signature shade of the collection (obviously). Go Overboard is THE teal color. It is a dark aqua turquoise creme polish thats ultra creamy. Great color for all year round. It has exceptional color payoff and very rich pigment. Also has the most perfect smooth formula finishing with a beautiful, mirror-like natural gloss shine. A perk is after removal there is absolutely NO staining. Kudos Essie! This ocean blue dream color is perfect to bring in the warm weather.





Play Date screams SPRING! This color is so girly and dainty. Play Date is a lilac, purple creme polish. When you look at the color in the bottle is looks pastel, but after application it's true color shows, BRIGHT. Almost neon looking, depending on your skin tone. Gorgeous color for any skin tone. This polish looks good with two coats but I love 3 coats for the full effect of color. I am guessing this shade with be the top Easter color this year.

Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter


Hey Everyone! Hope you are having a great week! My latest review is on one of the greatest mass lipsticks on the market right now, Revlon ColorBurst Lip Butter
PRICE: $7.49
You can purchase at any drug store.
www.revlon.com






Revlon has created 20 new shades (and photographed above is my collection of 16 lip butters). Revlon describes as "pampering gel formula that provides super charged hydration and glides on lips buttery smooth". This formula is super shiny with the most soft buttery balm. They leave your lips feeling healthy and smooth. This product has the feel & shine of balm and color payoff of lipstick, while still moisturizing. Hydrating mango, shea and coconut butter formula boosts lip moisture leaving your lips feeling perfect. The popular formula is slick and wet-like and glides on for an easy application. They feel so comfortable and after 3 hours of wear they don't stain your lips. Revlon was smart to make 20 great shades, leaving a shade for everyone! Pales & neutrals to reds & corals, some sheer and some with major pigmentation. 

My favorite color out of the 20 is called Lollipop. Lollipop is a bright fuschia with iridescent shimmer and cool, blue undertones. There is the most beautiful shine that gives lips a full, voluminous look.
