When I attended the Malan Breton spring/summer 2015 fashion show at New York Fashion Week, the designer gave out swag bags filled with goodies compliments of the Taiwan Government. One of those goodies was three bottles of nail polish from Nubar in traditional Chinese colors. The colors also complimented Malan Breton’s runway collection which you can view here. I had never heard of Nubar nail polish before, so I was excited to see it was both natural and vegan. As soon as I received Nubar’s nail polish, I took off my nail polish and painted my nails with this beautiful gold nail polish by Nubar; 24K. 

24K nail lacquer by Nubar is a rich gold nail polish which is eye catching and transcends seasons. The gold hue is a neutral metallic which plays well with any color palette and can easily be worn with silver or white metal jewelry. Love that! Nubar 24K  nail lacquer was also very strong. The nail polish stayed on my fingers for eight days without chipping. Love that!

I am excited to have been introduced to Nubar nail lacquer. The nail polish does not have a strong scent and applies evenly. It stays on for a week without chipping and is made from all-natural products. Plus, it is cruelty-free and vegan! Who could ask for more?

Laura Mercier’s “Verbena Infusion” Dry Oil Mist is a light, fragrant way to moisturize skin. Instead of slathering on thick body cream or lotion, Laura Mercier’s “Verbena Infusion” Dry Oil Mist moisturizes dry skin without leaving a thick film or gooey slick. I have also found that Laura Mercier’s “Verbena Infusion” Dry Oil Mist works well on a sunburn; calming angry skin and helping aid the healing process. Love that!

Laura Mercier’s “Verbena Infusion” Dry Oil Mist combines fragrant floral and wood notes of green citrus, spearmint, fresh blossoms, white amber and cedarwood. This makes for a warm floral fragrance experience ideal for moderate to warm weather found in the spring, summer and fall months. 

The formula is lightweight and fast-absorbing. It rejuvenates dry skin and mildly sunburned skin while comforting and soothing. I found it has left my skin with a natural-looking healthy glow. Love that!

Laura Mercier’s “Verbena Infusion” Dry Oil Mist can be found online here and here.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Discover Vulcano pour homme edt is a new flanker fragrance to Dolce & Gabbana’s original Light Blue for men. Named after Vulcano, an Aeoleon Island which is known for its’ mud baths and an active, smoking crater, Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Discover Vulcano pour homme eau de toilette offers a classic, masculine fragrance experience ideal for moderate weather.

This heavy, woody eau de toilette for men offers a long-lasting fragrance experience which is perfect for casual and weekend activities; as well as relaxed, evening occasions. Although the top notes offer a slight citrus scent, Dolce & Gabbana’s Light Blue Discover Vulcano edt offers a woody fragrance experience which originates from its’ base.

Top notes: Lemon, Ginger

Middle notes: Cypress, Lavender

Base notes: Vetyver, Cedarwood

We tested out Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Discover Vulcano pour homme edt on an eighty degree, summer day. The fragrance instantly gave off a woody scent laced with vetyver and light lemon. The woody scent lasted throughout the day while gently fading away into the evening hours. It is ideal for moderate weather during the spring, summer and fall months.
