Maybelline Express finish 50 Second Nail Color

Kristin Guidi | Maybelline, nail polish | Sunday, 21 December 2008

Okay, it’s 10 seconds faster than the advanced wear! But that’s not the main difference, the Express finish 50 Second Nail Color has more colors and is a bit less shiny.. The best thing to do with this is to apply a clear base coat first, then paint with one sweep, paint the center from base to tip and then after 50 seconds apply the color to the rest of the nail. Tada!

The Express Finish Advanced Wear Nail Color is alright, not as good as one other brand but it lives up to its word. It’s got an anti-chip formula, the brush is good too, and the best part of course is that it dries in 60 seconds! Comes in 10 shiny colors.

Maybelline Moisture Whip

Nice, but a little smeary. The Moisture Whip Lipcolor from Maybelline does hydrate and soothe the lips which is great, and the colors are good and long lasting. It has Vitamin E and Aloe Vera which is what gives up to 75% moisturizer and conditioners and the finish is nice and creamy. Comes in lots of colors.

The yummy lip glosses from L’Oreal. Color Juice comes in 20 different shades, all made to give your lips a sheer color and juicy shine. The tube could have been made to fit the lips better, but it’s still good. You can use it alone or on top of your lipstick for more color and shine.

Here we have the TruBlend Pressed Powder by America’s Next Top Models biggest sponsor, Cover Girl! Personally, I didn’t like the colors and it looked too pasty on me, but it does go on smooth and the finish is nice. Looks pretty natural.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick

Kristin Guidi | LIPSTICK, Revlon | Sunday, 21 December 2008

This lipstick by Revlon has many shades, but not too many different colors if you know what I mean. Different pinks, browns and reds. I tried #12 Super Lustrous Lipstick sugar plum and it’s very lustrous and has mega-moisturizers as it is packed with vitamins C and E so your lips feel smooth and soft.

Loma Pearatin Repairative Serum

Kristin Guidi | Loma Pearatin, hair | Saturday, 20 December 2008

For a Serum, the Pearatin Repairative Serum by Loma was great. It fortifies, repairs and reconstructs your hair, continuously hydrates it and is a great color keeper. The only problem i had with it was that it was rather oily and hard to wash off.
