Maybelline New York Dream Mousse Concealer

I would use this in a pinch

I tried this concealer for several months last year in conjunction with the Dream Smooth Mouse foundation. I felt as if the foundation worked well but the concealer, while it covered, often cracked and settled into fine lines. I think that perhaps if you have oily or normal to oily skin this may be a good option for you. However, if you have dry skin or fine lines around your eyes, go with a creamier consistency under the eyes. I don't like using two concealers and that is why I have only given this a 6. I do find it covers blemishes and other spots well without drying and cracking.

OPI Drip Dry

OPI Drip Dry better than others

I have been scared off of my favorite nail top coat/fast dry due to health concerns. Now I am trying several and I found the OPI Drip Dry to be one of my two favorites. I give it only 8 stars because it isn't as convenient as a quick coat of seche vite and I still feel I have to wait a bit before cleaning up my manicure station. However, I find the claims of this product to be far more true than man others that carry the same claim. I have noticed that this seems to work better if I use an OPI polish than if I use another brand. I have always wondered if others encountered this issue. I never used to think about using the same products within a brand on nails, but it makes sense based on the chemistry of the ingredients.

Zoya Nail Polish

Best Polish Formula and Color Selection

I love Zoya polishes. I first one a set on twitter last holiday season and I instantly became hooked. I received the Flame set I believe it is called. It has Gloria, Tiffany, Valerie, Lisa and Sara. I then started to order some more creme colors as well as sheer nudes. I am really excited about their new Feel color collection. The color selection is excellent and if you order online you have the ability to use the search engine of all search engines to find your perfect color and even colors you may not have thought of using previously. I find that this polish does not chip on me as easily as others and I am rough on my hands. I don't like to paint my nails more than once per week, so staying power is a plus. I would give Zoya a 10.
