Swiss Jardin: Body Sprays Abound :)

Hello Lovelies!,

I must confess..I am totally addicted to body sprays & perfumes and for some
unknown reason I can't seem to collect enough of either two..It can end in a stale-mate
when I try to decide about which one I'd like to wear..so this time I chose Body Spray
& I was absolutely delighted..

In collaboration with Swiss Jardin Cosmetics, I proudly present to you, the Swiss
Jardin Signature Series Body Spray featuring 2 Body Sprays from this collection.
So allow me to fill you in on these aromatic delights..Read On


Featured Products:

1. Swiss Jardin Signature Series Body Spray in London Dream
(Photo; Right)


Top Notes:  Melon, Freesia

Mid-Notes: Violet


My Verdict: Love It! It's scent starts out bright
but tones down to highlight the Melon & Freesia
infusion. It's a subtle scent that's not too loud or
fruity. A real mood lifter. Suitable for Day or Night :)


Size: 8.0 Fl. Oz






2. Swiss Jardin Signature Series Body Spray in New York Nights
(Photo: Right)


Top Notes: Musk, Plumeria

Mid-Notes: Black Cherry, Powder



My Verdict: Love It! This scent is intense and
deeply infused with Musk & Plumeria which wind
down to accentuate & highlight the Black Cherry..
Better suited for nighttime.


Size: 8 Fl. Oz.


Longevity of Scent: 4-6 hours for both sprays


Where to Buy: Check online for availability at the following retailers listed below.

Retailers*: Meijer, Rite Aid, Kmart, Shop Rite

These Body Sprays are rather good & they aren't alcohol-laden like some that
I've tried. They finish rather nicely & smell more like an Eau De Toilet rather than a
Body Spray and for 8 ounces, one spray goes a long way. So these two are now
permanent staples in my fragrance collection.

 Attractive packaging as well..Nice job Swiss Jardin..Check out my bottles below...

has to offer, copy & paste the link in the 'Where to Buy' section of this review or

Rainbow Honey Nail Lacquer: Taste the Rainbow :)

Hello Dearest Hearts!,

As you already know, glitter is my guilty pleasure & it should come as no surprise that
I will adorn anything I can with it, nails included :D..So allow me to introduce some 
shimmery little duds that have made their way from the Rainbow right into my hands &
onto my fingertips...

In collaboration with Rainbow Honey Cosmetics, I proudly present to you
Rainbow Honey's Custom Blended Nail Lacquer Glitters..

The lacquers featured in this review are a compilation featuring 2 top glitters
from 2013, 2 glitters from The Sweet Talk Collection (2014) & 1 glitter from the
Midnight Garden Spring Collection (2014)

So let's get on with the show & get down to business on these bottles of delight..


Rainbow Honey Nail Lacquers
(Photo; Below)

(Colors from Left to Right are as follows: 1. Sweet Talk, 2. The Kraken, 3. Magic Cake,
4. XOXO, 5. Papillon)


Pros: Fast-drying, non-fading/chip resistant, vibrant color resolution, easy application,
mild scent, can be used for full-nail application, over solid polishes or for nail art


Cons: Ok, I didn't care for Sweet Talk and it didn't make any difference whether I
applied a single coat or multiple, it's resolution was rather muddled & it just
looked "Mehh"...


So here are my thoughts on each of the above colors:

1. Sweet Talk: "Mehh"..it has pearlescent white finish with multi-colored dots..:(

2. The Kraken: Hello! Beautiful w/a blue-green sparkle & it got even more intense
when I applied 2 coats! :D

3. Magic Cake: It is Magic indeed! It has a slight silvery sparkle w/confetti pieces :D
This lacquer requires you to stipple it on when applying to get all of the confetti
coverage on your nails..It was awesome! :D

4. XOXO: I got a glitter kiss for sure! Pink, red & pale silver sparkles! :D

5. Papillon: OO-OO-OO! Butterflies! YEEESSS!!! Pink glitter w/Butterfly
shaped glitter too! This one has to be slightly stippled on during application :D



Price: $10.00 each or $25.00 per collection


Where to Buy: http://www.rainbowhoney.com/


My Verdict: In Love with #'s 2-5, not-so-in-love with #1*
*Sweet Talk may fare much better for nail art or over a solid pale color polish.



So take a look at the swatch pic and see for yourself..

So, If you would like your fingers to get a taste of the glittery Rainbow, then

Bioxidea Miracle Excellence Gold 48: A Mask fit for a Pharaoh

Hello My Darlings!,


I have 2 words for you: Gold and Skin..let me explain..

Gold..One of the most precious metals in the world..we buy it, wear it & occasionally we even eat it..

Skin..the canvas on which we apply our makeup must be maintained, but to do this, one must find skin care products that actually produce results..That's when I discovered that flesh & Gold can be mixed.. I can tell you, that what happened next made me feel as if I'd donned the burial mask of King Tut himself..

In collaboration with Bioxidea Cosmetics, I proudly present to you, The Miracle Excellence Gold 48 Mask..

So let's get down to business about this gift from the Gods:


Product: Miracle Excellence Gold 48 Facial Mask

(Photo: Right)

Ingredients: Colloidal Gold  Nano Particles,
Algae, Peptides, Vitamins C & E, Aloe

Ideal for Acne-prone & Oily skin types but
suitable for all skin types


Pros: Optimizes skin cell function, inhibits/reduces
acne-related breakouts, diminishes fine lines &
wrinkles, restores firmness, gives the skin an
illustrious glow


Cons: Absolutely none


How long does it last?: 48 hours..but for me, I saw the effects for at least 6 days


Price: $74.99 for a set of 3


Where to Buy: http://www.bioxideausa.com/


Product Description & etc:
This is a cellulose-type facial mask in liquid suspension, enclosed in a packet.


How to Use*:

Thoroughly wash & rinse your face BEFORE using this product.
Mask adheres best if your face is somewhat damp when you apply it.

In order to activate the ingredients, you must shake the packet well.
*Set aside the liquid from the packet

Once out of the packet, it looks like this (photo: below)

Position mask directly onto your face*
*This may take some manipulation to get it just right so
a little patience is required here..The mask comes in 2 parts-Once the mask is on, it will look like this:

Please allow 15-30 mins to achieve best results
Now here comes the hardest part..waiting*..(Jeopardy Music)

*To achieve the full effects of this facial mask, the maximum application time should be allowed


Ok..so now that the waiting is over, DO NOT DISCARD THE MASK..The awesome thing about this product is that the mask (and reserved liquid from the packet) can be dissolved in your bath water to give your entire body a golden treat..This is the mask dissolving in water:

Here are my  'before' & 'after' skin swatches..

Before applying mask

After applying mask

Well, actually, this is what I felt like after using this mask..

Here's what I actually looked like after I applied my makeup to my rejuvenated face..

My Verdict: Does Bioxidea's Miracle Excellence Gold 48 do all that it promises?! YES!!!..and then some!

My skin had visible redness before using this product, due to acne-related issues & as you can see in the skin swatches above, my redness was greatly reduced & my skin felt soothed afterwards. Even though one might gasp at the price of these babies, believe me when I say that they are totally worth it! Not many facial products on the market actually deliver what they claim to, but this product actually does deliver it's promised results..Reduced redness, increased firmness, brightened skin, diminished fine lines & sebum control. My skin has fallen in love with these! A 5-Star Product! :)
