SpaRitual In Pink Collection for Breast Cancer Awareness Swatches & Review

Spa Ritual In Pink SpaRitual In Pink Collection for Breast Cancer Awareness Swatches & Review

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.

Color Club Untamed Luxury Diamond Collection for Fall 2010 Swatches & Review

Color Club‘s new Luxury Untamed collection is a 14 piece two-parter. Yesterday I showed you my favorite half which is called Indulgence. Today I have Diamond for ya.

These are more glittery finishes, but dare I say, not as interesting as Indulgence in my eyes…

The formula was great for some, didn’t pan out for others.

De-Luxe-Cious

De-Luxe-Cious is a silver/grey with multi-colored shimmer. The idea of this is great but the problem is that the glitter sinks into the polish and kind if disappears into it. It winds up looking chunky and not all that great. This was two coats.

Color Club Untamed Luxury Indulgence Collection for Fall 2010 Swatches & Review

Color Club has a huge new fall collection out called Untamed Luxury. It includes two sets of 7 polishes each; one called Indulgence and one called Diamond.

Today I have Indulgence for you since it was my favorite of the two. :)

This collection features some amazing cremes and shimmers and a frost for good measure.

The formula was totally outstanding as per usual with Color Club. Their polishes are always like BUTTAH!

Color Club Pretty In Platinum Color Club Untamed Luxury Indulgence Collection for Fall 2010 Swatches & Review
Pretty In Platinum

Pretty In Platinum is a frosty silver/white. Wow this is a seriously hot white, it might be my favorite one now. It went on so opaque I barely even needed a second coat. It is a tiny bit streaky but nothing horrible.

NARS Vintage Nail Polish Collection Swatches & Review

NARS Cosmetics has re-released some of their older nail colors in the Vintage Nail Collection for a limited time only.

These are all colors new to me so I thought maybe some of you would want to see them as well.

The collection as a whole doesn’t make me fall over with excitement, to be honest, but there are some nice colors in there. I guess when you have as much nail polish as I do after awhile, you expect BIG things. :)

The formula is definitely pretty great on these. There was only one I had any issues with. All were quite wonderful, as you would expect from NARS.

Blue Lagoon

Blue Lagoon is a frosty pale blue shimmer. Though NARS calls this an iridescent color, I didn’t really see that on the nail. This is a really pretty color, but a little on the sheer side. This was three coats and you can see the visible nail line.

BB Couture Men’s Formal Collection Swatches & Review

Good morning!

Today is kind of a sad day because yesterday one of my childhood musical icons passed away from stomach cancer at the young age of 67. His name was Ronnie James Dio and he was the singer of Elf, Rainbow, Black Sabbath and Dio. I can’t even begin to tell you how much I listened to his music, and I was lucky enough to see him in 1985. Your music will live on forever RJD!

Ok now onto the polish! Today I’ve got BB Couture’s new collection called Men’s Formal.

This is yet another stunning cool collection from BB. They keep coming and more are on the horizon!

The formula on these was really great, as always. A few were a wee bit streaky but nothing to complain much about.

Let’s take a peek!

Award Medal is a shimmery greenish/khaki/gold color with a purple duochrome effect. It’s really gorgeous and you have to see it in person to really “get it”. This was three coats.
