Festive Fingers

In Beauty on December 3, 2009 at 3:09 pm

Holiday parties are around the corner and what better way to make an festive statement than with bejeweled nails! The Lippmann Nail Collection has designed a glittery-and-snazzy nail polish color, Happy Birthday, that reminds me more of a lit Christmas tree than anything else. The polish is a splattering of multi-colored, multi-sized confetti glitter in a clear base. This year, skip the ornament earrings and jingle bells necklace and choose this wild nail lacquer!

Buy It: Nordstrom
Cost: $18.00

Pucker Up

Lip Plumpers have been part of our beauty arsenal for a couple of years now but the question remains, do they really work? There are so many choices to waffle between…Lip Venom…Lip Fusion…Too Faced Lip Injection (yikes). Some of these lip plumpers work by irritating your lips with ingredients like cinnamon. (It sounds worse than it is.) Others have moisturizing ingredients that smooth your lips. And some are more like a makeup base ‑- when lipstick is applied over them, your lips look fuller. Then there are the flat-out treatment products, containing ingredients like alpha-hydroxy acids or retinol that are supposed to increase collagen production to give you plumper lips over time.

I’ve done the research and found the Lip Plumpers that are worth spending the holiday cash on!
