Can you believe October is next month already? Time is pasing by so quickly lately, it’s spooky!

We all know by now that October is national breast cancer awareness month, and SpaRitual has partnered with the Living in Pink organization, which was founded by Michele Conley, a two time breast cancer survivor. This organization helps to fund research and bring awareness about breast cancer in the hopes of one day finding the cure.

SpaRitual is a very responsible company to humans, animals and the earth. They are big-three free, Vegan and use recycled glass for their bottles. I wish ALL cosmetics companies would get a clue and follow suit!

Obviously this collection is of pink colors, but they aren’t boring cremes, they have fabulous finishes! Each bottle comes with a tiny metal pink ribbon charm attached, which is representative of the cause.

Sonia Kashuk will soon be releasing a new holiday nail collection trio called Reach For The Stars for Target. Yes holiday, already…On that note, I wonder if most people understand that we are still in summer until September 23rd? It seems as though most people think summer ends in August, but it doesn’t! And yes, fall is end of September through end of December, even though a lot of people feel as though November/December are winter. THEN winter starts on December 22nd. Ok now that our 2nd grade lesson is out of the way…:)

Target is in fact the only place you can find this collection, so I am sorry if you fall in love and don’t have access to Target stores!

This is my first time trying out Sonia Kashuk nail colors and I am kind of disappointed. Let me clarify. The colors were beautiful, I loved all three. The brush quality was pretty bad though. All three of these brushes had wonky pieces that stuck out at weird angles. Also they felt really cheap and “plastic-y” when applying the polish. They did cover nicely in two coats.

SpaRitual has a wonderful new collection for fall 2010 called Imagine.

“The six new inspiring shades represent a life filled with prosperity, wisdom, and creativity”.

• Living in the Moment – Cashmere mauve creme
• Endless Possibilities – Midnight plum creme
• Unconditional Love - Peach shimmer
• Health, Wealth & Happiness – Huey blue shimmer
• A World of Compassion – Dusty periwinkle creme
• Dreams Becoming Reality – Cool blue turquoise

One of my favorite things about SpaRitual is how environmentally friendly they are. Their polishes are Vegan, big-3 free and packaged in recycled bottles. I also love the rubberized caps, it really helps when you’ve got slippery lotion on your hands!

I love that this collection isn’t a bunch of colors you would expect in a fall collection. In fact quite a few of them seem more like spring colors. But they totally work anyway.

The formula cannot be overlooked here, these are really amazing, as most of their polishes are. They are so smooth, creamy and perfect! All of these covered completely in two coats.

Hey there.

Yet another Monday to struggle through, let’s hope it goes FAST!

Today I’ve got Duri’s Paparazzi collection for summer 2010. I will be reviewing the spring Paparazzi collection tomorrow. I know I am doing these kind of backwards, but I am most excited about this one.

I’ve reviewed many Duri colors in the past and found that I like the vast majority of them. They have a lot of colors that have the ‘lit from within’ thing going on, and I love that.

The colors in this collection don’t seem like typical summer colors, but that’s fine with me because most of them are very unique and gorgeous!

Tabloid Rumors

Tabloid Rumors is a steel grey with pink, yellow, green and blue shimmer. I thought this was going to be a plain old steel grey shimmer when I saw the bottle, but I was very pleased that it wasn’t. I think this is a really unique grey and I love it. This was two coats.

Friday is finally here, let’s all breathe a sigh of relief!

Barielle’s new summer collection for 2010 is called High Steppin’ and it’s a nice departure from most other collections we have seen so far this season.

This is made up of metallic colors, inspired by the disco era and not necessarily all colors you think of when you think summer. I definitely appreciate that because after awhile the same colors get to be so boring!

These are metallics and as we all know, they have a tendency to be streaky. I don’t have any major complaints here with the formula, just some small ones that aren’t a big deal.

Belly Dance

Belly Dance is a pale taupe with silver shimmer. This went on pretty sheer, but built up nicely after three coats. I don’t love this one personally, it’s a little too nude for me, but it’s still pretty. Very conservative office friendly I think.
