Embrace Your Inner Bond Girl with the New OPI Bond Girls Collection-Giveaway

A few weeks ago I shared a picture of my new favourite shirt, a 007 t-shirt from the TIFF Shop, and indirectly revealed my love of all things James Bond. I’ve seen most of the movies, read all of the books and have a random collection of 007 merchandise. So when I heard about the Bond Girls collection from OPI, I knew I had to have it.

This brand new collection of six Liquid Sand nail lacquers features a textured matte finish with a sophisticated sparkle perfectly befitting any Bond girl. With colours inspired by and named after some of the most popular Bond girls of all time, these six shades are sure to dress up any summer outfit!

Get a Fresh Spring Look with the Nicole by OPI Selena Gomez and Modern Family Collections-Giveaway

I am a woman that loves all things feminine, from cute dresses to new makeup products. But one of the beauty products I never really embraced was nail polish, mainly because I had the bad habit of biting my nails. After years, I’ve finally broken the habit and thanks to Nicole by OPI, I am quickly becoming a nail polish addict.

Nicole by OPI sent me samples from two of its hottest 2013 collections, the Modern Family Collection and the Selena Gomez Collection. I fell in love with the assortment of shades, which ranged from wearable soft pastels to vibrant glitters.

julep maven bombshell introductory boxThe Julep Maven program has five style profiles so that women can choose a profile that suits them perfectly. I received a Julep Bombshell Introductory Maven Box so I could see for myself what the boxes were like. The products were beautifully packaged in a pink, ribbon-wrapped gift bag within the sleek black box and I had so much fun pulling them out. I had decided on the Bombshell Box, which included Julep Nail Vernis polish in Oscar and Natasha and a tube of Julep The Best Pedi Crème Ever.

While I was eager to use the glittering gold and intense orange polish on my toes, I really wanted to try the pedicure crème first. With exfoliating AHAs, hydrating shea butter and coconut oil and nourishing essential oils, it promised to show noticeable results with just one to two uses. I have to admit, I had a hard time believing that. My feet were in pretty rough shape and I was starting to think that nothing would get them sandal-ready. [Read more...]
