Luck Be A Ladybug
This Valentine’s Day, wear your favorite shade of red for a good cause!
Ramy’s Beauty Therapy Shade Luck Be a Ladybug is not only a beautiful red shade for Valentine’s Day, but with every purchase you are helping a family in need.
Project Ladybug was established in 2007 by the Real Housewives star and philanthropist Dina Manzo. Project Ladybug is a non-profit organization that fights to enrich the lives of children with life-threatening conditions. The fund helps families with financial and emotional hardships during their child’s treatment. Proceeds from this lip gloss and other Project Ladybug fundraisers are used to provide birthday parties, computers, clothing, toys, wigs, and funds towards hospital bills.

Big tube, big wand=big lashes right? Not the case with Hard Candy’s new ginormous lash volumizing mascara.
I have to say that I am so disappointed with entire concept. This just may be the worst mascara that I have ever came in contact with.
Wand- The handle to the wand is huge, very reminsant of Covergirl’s Lashblast wand. This makes for uncomfortable handling and application of the mascara. No worries though, this is not going to be the worst of your problems.
The brush- Huge. Nothing special. The color of the mascara is gold, but I don’t think it should be an excuse for such poor application. It is just your old standard wand. I have always been one of those people that feels like the power is in the wand and brush…… like a fairy if you will…..this one has no power.
The results- just gold colored lashes. No volume, no separation, no length, no nothing, just gold lashes. But as I type this, an idea popped in my head, so stay tuned for a part two. I just might be able to create a miracle!

Wet n Wild has again out done themselves with a new line of trio’s for the spring. Heavy pigmentation and bright bold colors makes this collection worth the buy. Sad thing is, I didn’t buy all six! But check out swatches for the four that I did purchase, flash and no flash:
This paintpot is from the Champale Collection. Oh so pretty!!! I just took pics of it and a swatch. I will compare it to other bases that I have later. Enjoy!
First her perfume in the milk truck and now an epic collection of nail polishes! Katy Perry for OPI is a collection of polishes that have been described as coming straight out of her California Gurls video.
And a review of an oldie but goodie. China Glaze Flying Dragon
Flying Dragon was released in the Summer of 2008 with the INK Collection. Flying Dragon is a neon purple polish with blue and purple sparkles throughout the polish. This is a matte shade, and one coat will not do. I used 2 coats and Seche on top for a glossy coat.
Consider adding this neon shade to your upcoming summer collection!!
