Minx is a solid nail coating (verses existing liquid nail polishes) with the potential to revolutionize the way the world does nails!

Minx was invented by one of the three women owners who was frustrated with wearing down her nails while working at her vehicle graphics business. After six months of product development Janice partnered with Dawn, an expert in the salon industry. The two tested the product in the market and found 100% of the salons they approached were interested, tried Minx, and wanted more. Because of the uniqueness of the product word soon spread to magazines wanting to do stories on Minx. Realizing the damage that can happen when a company cannot supply demand Janice and Dawn ended the test with the conclusion they needed to set up the manufacturing facilities and infrastructure to support sales.

Dawn and Janice partnered with Lisa Delpy Neirotti, PhD, a business professor at George Washington University who has extensive contacts, knowledge and the funds needed to buy the equipment and set up the infrastructure required for Phase II; a mini launch in Southern California near Minx headquarters and manufacturing facility in San Diego, CA. Minx is also being tested in several east coast salons in the DC area.

I love this new fragrance from YSL, at first spray I thought it would be too aggressive for me but it quickly mellowed into a beautiful amber and fruity floral. The smell is slightly reminiscent of Opium but it is a truly modern scent – feminine , sexy, refreshing. Elle also has amazing staying power, it lasts all day and I can still smell traces of it the next day.

The Elle bottle meant to resemble the lines of a modern building with it’s angular lines balances out with the feminine color and slenderness of the bottle. Elle is a great fragrance and a definite standout from all the new fragrances hitting the stores for the holidays. Top notes are cedrat, peony, lychee; heart notes are pink berries, freesia, and jasmine; base notes are patchouli, vetiver, and ambrette seed.

So I had to hit Sephora last week, my Fekkhai Glossing cream had run dry and no amount of squeezing would help. After posting on these new Sephora makeup clutches last week I couldn’t get them out of my mind. I decided to buy one of the sequin clutches to use as a purse. At first glance it was smaller than I thought it would be from the pictures, but I was able to fit my cell phone, a little cigar case sized wallet and two lipsticks.

I love this little bag, I picked the darker pink shade and it shimmers and shines and makes a perfect clutch for girls night out. It’s way too cute to be stuck in a bathroom vanity. I had such a hard time choosing which color I think I might have to go back for the blue one and maybe the gunmetal. This would make a great gift for a girlfriend and if you really like her maybe hide a gift card or some makeup inside.

Sephora Metallic Sequin Clutch Limited Edition

What it is:
A slender, sequin-covered satin makeup bag.

What else you need to know:
Thin enough to stuff in any purse, this little bag is a chic way to carry your mini makeup essentials. But don’t just relegate it to mere worker status: these vivid colors add sparkle to any outfit. Perfect as an evening clutch, it has room for keys, ID, and a lipstick.

I could use a boost! My morning coffee is wearing off I think I could out sleep Rumpelstiltskin if I could just close my eyes for a moment.

I absolutely love Dolce & Gabbana’s new fragrance The One, it has a warm floral scent that is sultry while still subtle. The base notes of amber and vanilla have serious staying power. I have a hard time finding fragrances that don’t overwhelm me or set off my allergies. The One has a great oriental floral scent without overpowering the wearer.

Dolce and Gabbana The One

The One is a warm, oriental floral, with modern sensuality – a fragrance with a strong personality, and a contrasting golden sweetness. Created for the ultimate diva, The One is at once tempting, modern, and glamorous, embracing a touch of classicism. The top notes radiate a vibrant luminosity, with a sun-touched citrus, while warm fruity notes of luscious lychee and succulent peach add to the delight. The passionate heart evokes an exploding femininity, with an opulent floral soul, creating a distinct, audacious signature. An unexpected hint of plum glows as the base finally blooms with luscious allure into the lasting warmth of vanilla and sweetened ambery-musk notes.

Notes:
Bergamot, Mandarin, Lychee, Peach, Madonna Lily, Muguet, Plum, Jasmine, Vetiver, Vanilla, Amber, Musk.
Style:
Tempting. Modern. Glamorous.

I just tried a sample of Sunsilk Sraighten Up Shampoo, Conditioner and styling cream. The scent of this product line is amazing! I liked the shampoo and conditioner I noticed they did help straighten out my hair. I found the styling cream a little too heavy for my fine hair but overall I think they are good hair products for the price.
