Nail Glam by JOVE'E Co- Press Sample

Nail Glam is a monthly subscription box service provided by JOVE'E Co. The box retails for $16.99/mo. with free shipping.

Nail Glam JOVE'E Co. Flawless #GIRLSBELIKE

My sample Glam came with two colors: Flawless and #GIRLSBELIKE. Flawless is a jet black creme while #GIRLSBELIKE is a gunmetal gray with holographic glitter.

Flawless

Formula: Smooth application

Finish: Gloss

Coverage: Full coverage in two coats

Notes: Nearly reached full coverage with a single coat

#GIRLSBELIKE

Formula: Slight streaking upon application. Can be controlled with precise brushstrokes

Finish: Satin

Notes: Dries with a bit of texture

Overall I think the Nail Glam box is a fun way for someone to expand a small polish collection. You can check out Nail Glam by JOVE'E Co. to learn how to get a box of your own.

Dakota Vox Light Up Mascara- Press Sample

Did you know that someone makes light up mascara? I didn't until a few weeks ago. Dakota Vox stepped up the mascara game by creating a wand that lights up with the click of a button.

As you can see, it has a decent glow. It's not quite enough to be able to use it in complete darkness, but certainly enough to help out in low light situations. The formula is flake free, and applies the same as any other mascara that uses a silicone brush.

Dr Sun Rx Jessica Robertson Collection Review

Dr Sun Rx Jessica Robertson Collection Review- Press Sample

Hey guys! I hope you had a great week so far. This is a little out of the norm for me, but I thought I would review a handful of new products for you. All of the products featured in this post are from the Jessica Robertson line at Dr Sun Rx.

There are a variety of products available including an assortment of tanning lotion, lip gloss, bronzer and nail polish.

Tanning Lotion

I've never used true tanning lotion, so I am just going to give you a quick run down on the scents and texture.

Jessica Robertson American Love American Legs XOXO

XOXO Natural Facial Bronzer- lightweight texture; scent free; $30 for 12oz

American Legs- medium to thick texture; coconut scent; $26 for 3.4oz

American Love Daily Moisturizer- medium texture; vanilla citrus scent; $28 for 3.4oz

Jessica Robertson Hidden Beauty American Babe American Dream

Hidden Beauty Tanning Maximizer- medium texture; Sweet Dreams scent; $4.60 for .5oz

American Babe White Bronzers- medium texture; Sweet Love scent; $4.80 for .5oz

American Dream Ultra Black Bronzers- medium texture; watermelon scent; $5.60 for .5oz

Lip Gloss

From top to bottom: cherry, peach mango, berry, iced mocha, nude, cotton candy. I can't quite place the scents but they are all nice and subtle. They retail for $7 each.

Bronzer

I've had several bronzers over the the years, and the biggest issue I come across is over or under pigmentation. I found Jessica Robertson Bronzing Powder to have nice coverage without overwhelming my complexion. I like the fact that it has a small amount of shimmer. The Jessica Robertson Bronzing Powder retails for $25.

Nail Polish

The polish offered in the Jessica Robertson collection is a mixed bag of textures. There are cremes, metallics, a matte, a satin, and three textures. The formulas were easy to use, and exactly the consistency I expected them to be. The retail price is listed at $7.99 per bottle.

From left to right: Totally Taupe, Taupe, Rock On, Satin Champagne

Totally Taupe- creme; 2 coats for full coverage

Taupe- creme; 3 coats for full coverage

Rock On- metallic; 2 coats for full coverage

Satin Champagne- satin; 3 coats for full coverage

Jessica Robertson Nail Polish Matte Gray Champagne Sand Silver Sand Berry Sand

From left to right: Matte Gray, Champagne Sand, Silver Sand, Berry Sand.

Matte Gray- matte; 2 coats for full coverage

Champagne Sand- textured; 2 coats for full coverage

Silver Sand- textured; 2 coats for full coverage

Berry Sand- textured; 2 coats for full coverage

Jessica Robertson Nail Polish Taupe Totally Taupe Satin Champagne Champagne Sand

For this look I used Taupe, Satin Champagne, Totally Taupe and Champagne Sand. I wanted something in the nude family with a little extra flair.

Jessica Robertson Nail Polish Silver Sand Rock On Matte Gray Berry Sand

To counter the previous look I decided to pair the other four colors for a more flashy look. I used Silver Sand, Rock On, Matte Gray and Berry Sand. In order to tie everything together I decided to use Silver Sand to freehand stripes over Matte Gray.

If you haven't guessed already, the polish was my favorite part of this review. There are so many looks that can be created with this collection!

Hare Polish Wrapped in Plastic featuring MoYou London Explorer 08

Indie Polish Wednesday, May 06, 2015

I'm back with another #HumpDayHare! This might be my favorite Hare Polish color so far. Some of you crazy polish people swear that picking favorites isn't nice. Let's be honest here, we all have favorites.

Wrapped in Plastic is a blue crelly packed with white squares and iridescent hexagon glitter. The swatches on the Hare Polish listing make this look more gray than blue, but it's definitely blue in person. With three coats Wrapped in Plastic offers nearly full coverage. The formula was a smidge thick, but that's not uncommon with such a large amount of glitter.

Hare Polish Wrapped In Plastic MoYou London Explorer 08

One of my dear friends sent me the MoYou London Explorer 08 plate recently, which happened to be perfect for stamping Wrapped in Plastic. For the stamp I used Sinful Shine Steel Reserve.

I could sit here and gush for days over this mani, but I won't bore you.

Starlight Polish Dragon Scales & Sinful Colors Call You Later

Indie Polish Monday, May 04, 2015

You know what's embarrassing? Having colors in your untried pile for over a year. I don't usually do it on purpose, but it happens occasionally. In my defense, my bottle of Starlight Polish Dragon Scales is a mini, so it kept getting pushed back behind larger bottles.

Starlight Polish Dragon Scales Sinful Colors Call You Later

Starlight Polish Dragon Scales is a green jelly with shifty green glitter. It shifts between green and yellow in the right lighting. Sinful Colors Call You Later is a green and yellow glitter topper. The glitter seems to be dense enough that you could build it up to full coverage.

My swatches show three coats of Starlight Polish Dragon Scales topped with one coat of Sinful Colors Call You Later. I was happy with the formula of both polishes for the most part. That being said, Dragon Scales started to get a little gummy around the opening of the bottle by the time I started to apply my second coat.

Since I'm being really candid in the post, I will admit that I wore this mani before St. Patty's day. By the time this is posted from my queue, it will have been around 2.5 months since I wore it. I like the mani, but it feels rather seasonal to me.

What do you think about posting out-of-season colors? I personally don't mind seeing all colors year round.
