The System

Everyone has that one thing they love to do in their downtime. Mine happens to be painting my nails, which I end up doing pretty much all the time. Taking care of my nails is important, too; no one likes yellow residue from their favorite buttercup yellow polish, do they? I sure don’t. Sephora came out with its own nail range last year called Formula X. Along with a ton of polish color options, they have a nail care system. This three-step system is a routine of mine before putting the actual color on my nails.

The Primer that Makes You "That Gal"

Primers are like the glue that holds everything together – in terms of my face, that is. I swear by Urban Decay’s for my eyes and I’ve recently switched to Benefit’s “That Gal” brightening face primer for my foundation.

Victoria's Secret Hair

Victoria’s Secret is a store that doesn’t typically have a wide range of perfumes, body care, or even hair care. But with a new look and formula, the Victoria’s Secret Hair line features [insert number of shampoo/conditioners] and [other types of hair care]. I tried out the Major Volume shampoo and ended up using about an Oreo-cookie size of the shampoo. I’m accustomed to more concentrated shampoo, so this was a bit of a let down for me. But the shampoo did get quite sudsy and lathered really well once in my hair. It also smells like the Body by Victoria scent, which is a very nice, clean, shampoo-appropriate scent. This hair care line is definitely worth a try if you’re into trying new things on your hair – and it’s almost always on a promo deal!

Benefit Majorette Blush

Lately I have been into a lot of Benefit’s products. From the They’re Real! Push-up Liner to “That Gal” Primer, I am all wrapped up in Benefit goodness. Another addition to my collection is the Majorette blush. With the product housed in an adorable round compact, this blush adds a pop of color to anyone’s cheeks. Made with pomegranate oil, it smells faintly sweet and is good for layering under other blush colors.

Majorette is also a cream to powder blush, which works as the perfect color booster on skin. I love the peachy-pink shade of this blush and I think it could work on anyone. Benefit’s website recommends applying it with the fingertips but I prefer to use a blush brush from Sonia Khusk at Target. I’ve applied it to the apples of my cheeks alone, but I may try out layering it with my Orgasm blush from NARS or my illuminating powder from Milani.
