Happy New Year! I can't believe how fast 2012 came! There is a light coat of
snow on the ground and the heat is cranking full blast in the apartment.
Every winter, I struggle with dried out, tired, cracked hands, and not to
mention my nails become awfully weak and pretty painful to look at. While I was
home, during one of my many lunch breaks spent at the mall, a tiny young woman
working at one of those annoying kiosks stopped me. She seemed pretty sure of
herself, because she totally disregarded the fact that I was on the phone at
that second, and I was ready to tell her off. But then, after spending a few
minutes with her, I realized why she was so cocky.
She proceeded to show me the
Dead Sea Minerals Nail Care Collection by Déjà Vu Cosmetics
that included body lotion, 4 way nail buffer, cuticle oil, and a nail file. I
had bought a buffer once before when I was entering high school, but if you
asked me where it ended up after a few weeks of use I couldn’t tell you. Since
I’m more “beauty-aware” these days, and because I had nothing else to do for at
least another half hour, I figured there’s no harm in letting her show me how
the kit works, I’ll give her my usual “Let me think about it while I shop and I’ll
come back,” line, and I won’t think twice about it.
At least that was my plan until I looked down at my thumb after she had
buffed it and I saw how shiny it was, almost like I had a coat of clear nail
polish put on. My nail ridges were gone, and the nail was so smooth, I spent my
last few hours at work just petting it over and over again. Later that night, I
tried out the cuticle oil, and my nails were so soft and no longer ugly and dried
out. The lotion is amazing as well, because it has left my hands feeling as
smooth as a baby’s bottom, even after I wash my hands and go about the rest of
my day. The nail file does the job of any ordinary nail file, so not much to
say there that you beauties don’t already know.
Two weeks later, and I’m still in love. I’ve noticed that my nails ARE
stronger, growing faster, and cleaner. My hands are constantly soft and
hydrated, and I can’t stop touching them. All of my problems with weak nails,
splitting, and dry hands seemed to have disappeared. I hope the door didn’t hit
them on the way out.
Stay warm beauties!
Xoxo,
Danielle
Mary Kay has released a brand new collection of lip liner...and they are all amazing! It's a great tool to have to finish off your lips, making them look totally flawless. Not to mention that it's also waterproof and long lasting, so that's always plus! The neatest thing about it though, I think anyway, is that it comes with a built in sharpener in the cap...how cool is that?
