Olay Regenerist micro-sculpting cream is a wrinkle-reducing face cream which is affordable, and promises to reduce wrinkles starting on the first day of use. Olay Regenerist micro-sculpting cream penetrates quickly to reduce wrinkles by accelerating cell turnover. It also hydrates skin in order to regenerate volume and shape on the skins’ surface while reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Olay Regenerist micro-sculpting cream also promises to smooth and brighten skin while restoring elasticity through plumping hydration.

I tested out Olay’s Regenerist micro-sculpting cream for two weeks and my skin felt soft and moisturized. This is a great daily face cream for a girl on budget. The product offers a lot of bang for your buck!

Olay Regenerist micro-sculpting cream can be found online here.

Christian Louboutin Farida nail polish review

Christian Louboutin Farida is a beautiful, sparkling brown nail polish from the Christian Louboutin “Noirs” nail polish collection. Brown is a nail polish color I do not normally purchase, but, Farida by Christian Louboutin is a brown hue which seemed un-brown to me; if that makes any sense!

Brown, to me, is a neutral hue which is used to make other colors seem richer. As a nail polish, the thought of brown never really peaked my interest until I spotted Farida in Christian Louboutin’s nail polish collection. This fabulous brown hue sparkles; in such a way that is seems as though it is a color, not just a fall neutral. Love that! Christian Louboutin Farida seems jewel-like to me, and I love anything that sparkles or suggests bling!

I tested out Christian Louboutin Farida nail polish with two coats of color and one base coat; no top coat. The nail polish is extremely long lasting and lasted eight days without chipping! The only reason I took off the nail polish on day eight was due to the fact that my nails grew and I had a space between my cuticles and the paint; and that bothers me.

One of the things I love about Christian Louboutin nail polish is the fact that is it free from the five nasty chemicals found in many other nail polish brands. Knowing Christian Louboutin nail polish is safe and natural, makes it seem even more luxurious. My only complaint is the length of the stiletto-inspired brush. It is a little bit too long and unbalanced which makes it a little bit challenging to apply the nail polish. That being said, once Christian Louboutin’s nail polish is applied, it is long lasting and the color saturation is exquisite.

I am in love with Christian Louboutin Farida nail polish and look forward to wearing it throughout the fall season. You can find Christian Louboutin nail polish online here and here.

Have you ever wanted to try out make-up on your face and not worry about how many people tried it before you at the store? I have. Nothing is more disgusting than using the samples at the store which are slightly smashed and look like ten thousand people touched them. No thank you!

Choix is an amazing concept. With Choix, you get try out your very own samples of beauty products at home; without other people’s germs! Love that! The samples arrive in a cute little box and are labeled so you know which product is which. You can test out the samples on your face, and use them more than once; until they run out! This is the perfect way to try before you buy. Not only can you test out how a color will look on you, you can see how long lasting the product is and how it reacts on your skin. How fabulous is that!!!

Here is how Choix works: for as low as $15 per month, you receive a sample box and store credit towards the purchase of a full size beauty product. You can select samples from fabulous luxury beauty brands such as Chanel, YSL and more! When you receive your monthly box in the mail, you can test out the products on your face; no germs! Then, you can order full-size products if you loved one or more of the samples you received. You will have a store credit from your subscription which can go towards the cost of the full size product. Love that!

I am a huge fan of Chanel and YSL. My Choix beauty box also contained eye shadow by Bobbi Brown and Dior. I had never tried Dior or Bobbi Brown before, so this was a treat to be able to test out new brands! I loved how the Dior eye shadow stayed on; it was very long lasting! Bobbi Brown was nice too. The color was natural and perfect for daily wear. I may very well need to buy a full size of all three eye shadows in my Choix beauty box!

One more cool fact about Choix, they are based right here in San Francisco! Three cheers for a tech start-up which is revolutionizing the beauty industry!
