Sephora by OPI Too Good for Him Nail Colour

OPI Nail Polish

I am obsessed with this sparkly purple masterpiece of a polish. In the bottle, it looks like a fully-loaded opaque purple but the formula itself is relatively clear so the polish gives a mere dusting of its shimmering purple goodness. This would be the perfect way to liven up my beloved Sephora by OPI Metro Chic, a flat, grayed out lavender.

Sephora by OPI Too Good for Him Nail Colour is available from Sephora for $9.

Giveaway: Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Advanced Anti-Aging Body Wash!

Thanks to Daily Makeover and Olay, I’m giving away the new Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Advanced Anti-Aging Body Wash (whew, that’s a mouthful!) to a special Makeup Bag reader.

There’s one hitch, though: After you try the body wash for two weeks, you’ll need to send me a note and tell me how you like it!

I just started using this myself so I can’t tell you how it’s working on my skin just yet, but I can tell you this: studies have shown that women with well-maintained body skin can look up to 10 years younger!

I don’t know about you, but that’s all the information I need to start using anti-aging products on my entire bod.

The two Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Advanced Anti-Aging Body Washes I’ve been sampling this week are:

  • Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Advanced Anti-Aging Body Wash Deep Penetrating Moisture ($6): I like the floral scent of this body wash. This leaves me feeling super moisturized without any oily or greasy residue.
  • Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Advanced Anti-Aging Body Wash Exfoliate and Replenish ($6): This version has some scrubby beads to help exfoliate dead skin cells and leaves my skin feeling lightly polished and smooth.

I’ll be back with a more thorough update after I’ve used these for a bit longer.

In the meantime, if you want to win your own bottles of Olay Total Effects 7-in-1 Advanced Anti-Aging Body Wash, leave me a comment here on this post and I’ll select a winner at 9:00 p.m. PST on Tuesday, January 26th.

Good luck!

LOVE this navy and white scarf! Maybe I’m deluding myself into thinking spring will surprise us with an early arrival, but honestly, how beautiful would this scarf look paired with a bright white shirt and jeans on a crisp spring day?

Banana Republic Cotton Geo-Print Scarf is available from Banana Republic for $49.50.
