Chanel Phenix nail polish review 2023

How pretty is this sparkling gold nail polish from Chanel! Now, if you have been a fan of Chanel nail polish for quite some time, you might find the name “Phenix” familiar. Well, you are correct! Chanel used this name for a bright red nail polish back in 2014 for the holiday season. In this new collection released for the summer of 2023, the name has been recycled and is being used for a golden polish numbered 157. The number is different, the name is the same, the color is different. Confusing-yes!

Now that the confusion has settled, let’s talk about this sparkling hue! The new Chanel Phenix 157 is a beautiful and classic golden metallic nail polish. I tested it out with one base coat, and two coats of color. The color saturation is ideal, and the polish glides on smoothly. Love that!

I love golden nail polish because it is a spicy version of a neutral hue. This color is easy to wear on a daily basis and matches most color palettes. It also works well for day into evening wear; especially if you have a formal event to attend and you don’t have time to redo your nails after work before getting ready for the occasion.

Chanel Phenix nail polish is a great color to wear during all four seasons too. You can wear it now, and throughout the summer, fall, and holiday seasons. So, if you are looking for one polish to carry you through the rest of the year, this is it!

Chanel Sorciere nail polish review

How pretty is this purple hue! I am in love! Chanel Sorciere is one of twenty-four new nail polish colors introduced this summer by Chanel. Isn’t it fabulous! Love!

Sorciere by Chanel is a pretty purple hue which you can wear now, during the summer months, we as well throughout the fall and winter season. It is a good color which transcends seasons. I am excited to weave it into my current summer nail polish rotation.

I tested out Chanel Sorciere nail polish with one base coat and two coats of color. It is a cream polish which glides on smoothly and applies streak free. I did find a couple of spots where I needed to do a third brush stroke to make the color even. This could have been due to applying too light of a first coat.

ReVive neck renewal cream review

I am scratching my head trying to figure how I have had this blog for over thirteen years and I have not reviewed my favorite beauty product yet! How in the world did this happen? Well, I am correcting my wrongdoing now by telling you all about this fabulous neck cream from ReVive.

When I was twenty-eight years old, I decided to get serious about my skin care. I felt myself pushing thirty, and the writing was on the wall that skin care would be an important part of aging gracefully. Fast forward to my late forties, and I am still doing the same skin care routine I developed when I was twenty-eight.

The most important part of my skin care routine is this neck cream. While I have tested out others along the way, I always go back to my old faithful, ReVive Neck Renewal Cream. Since I don’t believe in using fillers or plastic surgery, using creams which actually work is very important to me. This neck cream has kept my neck skin firm and wrinkle free over the years; even after losing forty pounds almost two years ago.

In addition to keeping my neck skin firm, ReVive Neck Renewal Cream contains spf, which is really an important part of combating the aging process and protecting your skin. The cream is smooth and doesn’t leave a sticky residue; it blends in really well leaving skin soft and well balanced. Love that!

So, if you are looking for the ultimate neck cream, this is it. If ReVive ever stops producing this neck cream, I will have to organize and stage a large-scale protest because I need this cream!
