I’m beyond sad that Beyond Jealous, a gorgeous “blackened blue green” nail polish by MAC looks more black than blue-green on my nails.

The color in the bottle is the darkest blue-green cream that would likely be achieved with just one coat. I painted on two coats, as always, which is why my color ended up more black-ish.

This hasn’t stopped me from proudly displaying Beyond Jealous on all my fingers and toes, though. I’m a huge fan of the darkest of dark nail colors and Beyond Jealous is certainly dark.

MAC Beyond Jealous Nail Lacquer is available online at maccosmetics.com.

I  can’t believe tomorrow will be October 1st and I haven’t shown you what’s in my shower for September yet!

Ojon Hydrating Thickening Shampoo

I’m always looking for ways to add more volume to my hair and this Ojon shampoo is really good. After lathering, leave on hair for one minute to allow “plumpers” to penetrate. I really have seen a difference in my hair’s volume!

Kiehl’s Superbly Restorative Argan Dry Oil

So technically I don’t use this Kiehl’s Argan Dry Oil in the shower, but I use it as soon as I step out. My skin has had a difficult time transitioning from the humid Hawaii air to the dry desert air here in Nevada and this oil has been miraculous. Can also be used on hair!

Aveeno Nourish + Volume Shampoo & Conditioner

I love when I find a reasonably priced shampoo & conditioner that really gets the job done. This Aveeno volumizing shampoo & conditioner works great, smells great and has a great price!

Mario Badescu Botanical Facial Gel

If oil is an issue for your skin, this Mario Badescu Botanical Facial Gel is the cleanser for you! The alpha-hydroxy formula helps to keep pores clear while the non-foaming gel cleanser removes makeup, dirt and oil without drying skin.

MAC Volcanic Ash Exfoliator

I fell in love with this MAC Volcanic Ash exfoliator last year when it first came out in the tub version. Only problem was, IT GOT EVERYWHERE! My shower and/or sink ended up a yucky black mess after I used it. This month it comes out in a new tube version and I couldn’t be happier. No dipping into a tub making a huge mess— now I just squeeze, apply and rinse for beautifully soft skin.
