Kaylala: Cutie Pie Cuticle Cream


Hi everyone! I am finally feeling a little better! Today I want to share a fabulous all natural product from Kaylala.  This is their Lemon Meringue Cutie Pie Cuticle Cream.  It's made with some fantastic ingredients including Emu Oil, which is found in tons of the company's products.  Emu Oil is rich in Omega 3, 6 and 9 essential fatty acids so it's great for your skin! 


Here's what Kaylala has to say about it:
Our intensive, healing cuticle cream balm soothes dry and damaged cuticles with a pleasing, all natural, Lemon Meringue scent.  
The organic and natural ingredients are antibacterial, antiviral & antimicrobial to protect cracked cuticles from germs.
contains:
AEA Certified Emu oil, Organic Aloe Vera, Maryland Pesticide-Free Beeswax, Organic Macadamia Nut oil, Organic Rosehip Seed oil, Vitamin E (Non GMO), Organic Lemon Tea Tree oil, Organic Turmeric, Lemon oil.
Net Wt .25 oz (7g) in a glass pot.
Everything in this product is organic  and the company uses recyclable packaging. I love companies who care about our bodies and environment. We only have one body and one Earth right? The Emu Oil they use comes from their very own Emus that they raise on their family farm. These animals are raised free range and are antibiotic and hormone free. So heads up, the product is obviously not Vegan if that's a concern of yours. Emu Oil comes from the fat of the birds. 


I really really like this stuff. I use several different cuticle treatments and this is honestly becoming one of my top!  The consistency is great. It's a solid balm but it's nice and emolient so it's easy to use. It rubs on easily and absorbs quickly. It doesn't leave the skin greasy at all and does an excellent job moisturizing.  I think the Emu Oil is the star of this product.  Sometimes balms can be a bit dry and you have to rub and rub in order to get enough product to moisturize; not the case here. You just rub your finger for a second and you have enough to  hydrate your cuticles.


I love the scent! It's a sweet fresh lemon scent. It does not smell like lemon cleaner, I know when some of you hear lemon you think cleaner but I promise this is a lovely lemon scent. In fact I'd like a candle in this scent.


The stuff on the edges is just some stickiness left over from the packaging. 




This product retails at Kaylala for $7.95.  I have been exploring their website and there are so many products I am interested in trying so don't be shocked if you see more reviews soon! I think their pricing is reasonable and their philosophy is great! 


Have you tried any of Kaylala's products? Let me know what you think of them in the comments! I'd love some suggestions.

OPI: So Many Clowns... So Little Time (Femme de Cirque)

Hi everyone! I hope your week is going well so far. Sorry I haven't posted in a while I have been really sick. I NEVER get sick so I am miserable right now. Yuck!!!!


Today I want to share a color from OPI's Femme de Cirque collection, which is a collection of four soft shades. This is So Many Clowns...So Little Time.  OPI describes this as a creamy nude pink.  

I thought I was going to HATE this color. I am usually not one for shades with VNL but I was actually able to get this one pretty opaque in just three coats as you'll see in the photos. I was shocked.  In some lighting you can see through it but it's not offensive at all.  I actually really love the look of this. It's sophisticated and clean. I think it makes your hands look polished and "done" with little effort.  This is a surprising win for me. 






Have you tried this one? Let me know what you think of it!

Nicole by OPI: Daffy Dill


Hi everyone! Today I have one of the Target exclusive Nicole by OPI shades to share with you.  This is Daffy Dill, it is a vibrant lime green creme.  The name is pretty cute on this one.  The green is in your face and I am not sure it's something I will wear all that often, however it is a nice shade to have around for fun.  

The formula was nice and went on perfectly.  I had no issues with balding or streaking.  These Nicole By OPI polishes now have a brush similar to the Rimmel flat tapered brushes (but not quite as awesome). Nicole by OPI's brushes are flat and tapered but they are slightly shorter than Rimmel's.  I think they're not quite perfect but a great improvement on the standard brush.  

As a side note: I HATE the shape of Nicole by OPI bottles and it makes for some ugly swatch photos because it's impossible to get your hand around that odd shaped thing. However, the shape of the bottle really has nothing to do with the polish, LOL, it's just something I hate. 




This shade is part of the Target exclusive collection, Something about Spring. So you can only get the colors in this collection at your local Target store. They retail for abut $7.50 each, sometimes slightly more.
