Christian Louboutin Salonu nail polish for spring 2015 is an off-white nail polish color from the Python Volcano mini coffret by Christian Louboutin. This off-white hue is a fabulous neutral tone for the spring season; as well as the summer season!

I tested out Christian Louboutin Salonu nail polish with one base coat and three coats of color. Salonu is a cream nail polish which can easily look streaky if not applied thick enough. The thin application brush Christian Louboutin uses in his nail polish collection can makes applying Salonu a little bit difficult. Once applied, it is a beautiful neutral hue for the warm weather season. It is worth the effort to apply!

Christian Louboutin Salonu nail polish lasted six days before chipping. I did not use a top coat. I feel like this will be an ideal color on toes to wear with open toed shoes and sandals. Love it!

Christian Louboutin Salonu nail polish is part of Christian Louboutin spring 2015 Python Volcano mini nail coffret set. The nail polish set can be found online here and here.

SK-II Pitera Essence Set review

SK-II was one of the fabulous sponsors for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York earlier this month. They handled the skin care routine for several of the designers who showed their fall 2015 collections during New York Fashion Week, and they also offered demonstrations of their products inside the tents for fashion show guests, and fashion insiders.

I had heard of SK-II’s products before fashion week, but had never tested them out before. When SK-II contacted me prior to fashion week, I jumped at the chance to test out their products. After all, my skin is aging, and it needs anything it can get to combat the test of time!

The SK-II Pitera Essence Set is essentially a facial in box. One of the best ways to keep skin youthful and hydrated is through a facial! For a busy mom like me, going to a spa for a facial seems like something done in a faraway land. I simply do not have time! So, I was thrilled to receive SK-II’s Pitera Essence Set since it is a facial I can give myself at home, on my own time. Love that!

The directions in the box are easy to follow, and the products are gentle, luxurious, and easy to use. The most relaxing part of the facial is the mask. My face has never been happier, and more relaxed! I love the results on my face from SK-II’s Pitera Essence Set. My skin is smoother, softer, and more vibrant than it was before I tested out the set. I am so excited!

I loved SK-II’s Pitera Essence Set so much, I am looking forward to testing out more of their products in the future.

Escada Joyful eau de parfum review

Escada Joyful eau de parfum is a beautiful, sweet floral which offers a pink peony fragrance experience laced with fruit. This sweet floral is ideal for right now, and into the spring season. The floral combination lends itself well to moderate to warm weather; the perfect fragrance for spring!

Escada Joyful edp starts off with a floral zing surrounded by a slight black current scent. After about twenty minutes, Escada Joyful eau de parfum settles into a sweet floral which offers light to medium strength throughout the day. 

Top notes: Blackcurrant Sorbet, Melon, Mandarin

Middle notes: Violet Leaves, Pink Peony, Dewy Magnolia, Nectarine

Base notes: Honeycomb, Florymoss, Sandalwood

I love wearing Escada Joyful eau de parfum right now as our spring weather arrives here in the San Francisco Bay Area. The sweet floral scent is ideal with our 50-70 degree weather; and will continue to be ideal as we head toward summer. Love that!

Escada Joyful eau de parfum can be found online here.
