Revlon Chroma Chameleon Nail Polish

Revlon Chroma Chameleon in "Aquamarine"

I picked up the new Revlon Chroma Chameleon on a whim the other day. I haven't worn a double chrome polish since I was about 13 years old but for some reason I was drawn to these. I really enjoy the finish of this nail polish, the aqua/purple colour is just beautiful and now I'm tempted to get the other colours in this line.

My Favourite Skin Care Products of The Moment

2013-03-22T17:58:00.005-04:00

I've got a few skin care products that I've been really loving and I though I would share them with you. My three favourite products of the moment are Soap and Glory's Scrub Your Nose In It exfoliator, pHisoderm's Restorative Facial Cleanser for oily skin, and Up & Up's cleansing cloths.

I have been using Scrub Your Nose In It for a couple months now and I have really been enjoying it. It is meant to be used on your T-Zone to help minimize the look of large pores and prevent clogging. Now, honestly I haven't noticed much difference in how my pores looked but it has significantly helped with the blackheads on and around my nose. Also, although it's only meant to be used on your T-Zone I use it to exfoliate my entire face and does a great job leaving my face feeling renewed and refreshed.

I picked up this cleanser by pHisoderm around the same time that I got Scrub Your Nose In It. I was looking for a solution for my oily skin problem and that I would try this out. The product states that "pHisoderm pH balancer contains a toning Botanical Complex to increase pH levels, reducing oil and impurities for a healthy skin complexion". The first time I used this product it left my skin feeling extremely dry, tight and uncomfortable but after a few uses I got used to it. I have to say that this product really works. When I use this and I don't wear any makeup for the day (which is rare), my face will remain practically non-oily for the entire day. When I do wear makeup I find that my skin is significantly less oily then before I started using this product.

Lastly, I've really been loving this makeup remover cloths by Up & Up. It removes every trace of makeup, even eye makeup, really quickly and easily and is non-oily.
