Jennifer Lopez INGLOT

I am so excited to be bringing you my #BeautyBagDolls a multi product review from an amazing brand that I have not yet reviewed for you. It is Jennifer Lopez INGLOT products and they are beautiful. I have the Livin' The Highlight Illuminator Face Eyes Body, the Brow Liner Gel and the O2M Breathable Nail Enamel in shades Beige Pink and Primrose. I adore each of these pieces and get ready to read my thoughts and fall in love with the Jennifer Lopez INGLOT line of products.

OMG! The Jennifer Lopez  INGLOT collection is by far the best collection I tried all year!

The Livin' The Highlight Illuminator Face Eyes Body is pure pigment. I mean a little tiny bit goes a long way and you will glow. I am a lover of highlighter and after using this one none can compare to this one. According to INGLOT the  Livin’ the Highlight Illuminator is "available in two magnetic shades, this loose powder enhances your natural radiance and highlights strategic parts of your face and body for the ultimate glow. The iridescent formula can be effortlessly applied and its stunning effect is perfect for when you’re on the stage or out and about with friends." I honestly cannot get over at how truly beautiful this highlighter is and you can use it on your face of course but I loved using on my legs and arms when wearing shirts and dresses. I took this with me on vacation and I used it each and every day. You can purchase this beauty bag must have here.

Next, I got to try out the Jennifer Lopez INGLOT Brow Liner Gel in the Taupe shade. Now I thought I had already had a favorite brow product until I used the Jennifer Lopez INGLOT Brow Liner Gel. This formula is a long lasting, easy to apply and natural looking brows I have ever had. According to INGLOT the formula is "enriched with ceramides, this water-resistant gel formula ensures long, comfortable wear. Perfect for a subtle look or a more dramatic effect." I am thrilled with how perfectly the shade did match my current hair color. I highly suggest this brow liner gel to everyone. I wore this on vacation and it stayed on even after going for a swim. This for me is a beauty bag must have no doubt about it and you can purchase it here.

The final product is the Jennifer Lopez INGLOT O2M Breathable Nail Enamel I love the shades Beige Pink and Primrose they are both nude and beautiful. I applied Beige Pink to my finger nails and Primrose to my toes. I wore this while on vacation and I swan in the ocean and in pools with out any chipping or fading of color. The shades are absolutely perfect I can wear anything and they match perfectly so they are perfect right now for vacation and for when I go back to work I can wear these shades with anything in my wardrobe. I find the formula of the Jennifer Lopez INGLOT O2M Breathable Nail Enamel to be the best of the best because the "unique formula enriched with a highly advanced polymer allows water and air to pass through, ensuring healthy-looking and beautiful nails." I wore this nail enamel for a week and when I did remove my nails looked just as beautiful as they did before I applied. Sometimes your nails can looked wrecked after wearing polish for a week but with this amazing formula my nails had no issues. This is a beauty bag must have and you can purchase your here.

All the Jennifer Lopez INGLOT products mentioned above are beauty bag must haves that get a 5 $$$$$ and EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

NewBeauty TestTube 2.0 March 2018

Hello to all of my lovely #BeautyBagDolls today I have for you my review of the March 2018 NewBeauty TestTube 2.0. While I know the post is a little late I must note my box arrived late but I am still so happy to have received it and I am able to review it for you while there are still some available for purchase. This box has a total of 8 products seven of which are inside and one that you get a free promo card with coupon code to redeem. Now please read on to learn what is packed inside this months NewBeauty TestTube 2.0 March 2018.

Loving the NewBeauty TestTube 2.0 March 2018 it is filled with many beauty bag must haves!

First product is the Dphue Acv Hair Rinse. This is a full size product you use once a week in your hair to clean out the build up of shampoo and hair products in your hair. This really left my hair very cleans and shiny without drying it. Next is Dermarche Labs Roloxin Lift Instant Wrinkle Smoothing Mask. This is a great mask to apply to your skin in the morning before applying makeup because it smooth's out lines and wrinkles. I noticed lines, wrinkles and pores were diminished and I am in love with my new AM mask. Now the third product which is full size nail polish is a great shade of light pink which of course I love course I am going to be picking up from the Lechat Dare To Wear Lacquer brand. It lasted week without chipping but I did use a top coat. The fourth product is Kenra Platinum Luxe One Leave-In . This leave is one I adore because my hair can be wet or dry to apply so I can toss this in my makeup bag and refresh my dry hair in the middle of my work day, which is a definite plus! So far so good with the NewBeauty TestTube 2.0 March 2018.

The fifth item is another full size product and it the Grande Cosmetics Hydraplump liquid Lipstick in Red Delicious. I love the Grande cosmetics brand and have reviewed this exact item in different shades. The Red Delicious is a perfect shade of read but I do note that you must use a lip liner. The next product is also one I have used before it is the Kocostar Long Hair Therapy which is just fabulous and just type Kocostar in my search box to read my full review. The next product is the MDSolarScience Daily Anti-Aging Moisture SPF 30, Mineral Crème SPF 50 and Mineral Tinted Cream SPF 30. These are awesome moisturizer to have and use since they are filled with SPF and we all need SPF all year round. I keep this in my purse to use and to touch up through the day. Finally a Nutrafol Gift Card for a Free 30-Day Supple of their supplement's was included this is an $88 dollar value and I have placed my order so as soon as it gets here I will begin using them.

I am so glad I got to try out 8 products from the NewBeauty TestTube 2.0 March 2018 you have to try this sampling program out! I give this TestTube 2.0 a 5 $$$$$ because it is wide variety of beauty products from skincare to haircare along  this month!

Lauren B. Beauty

Get your top ten ready for the 4th of July holiday #BeautyBagDolls with Lauren B. Beauty Nail Polish. The colors are inspired by Los Angeles and are 5Free, Vegan Friendly and Made in the USA. I have the shade Laurel Canyon Lover, Santa Monica Shutters and PCH. I am thrilled that they are free of formaldehyde, DBP, toluene, formaldehyde resin or camphor. Lauren B. Beauty nail polish is something I fell in love with after just one stroke across my nails.  To shop Lauren B. Beauty click here.

Lauren B. Beauty has nail polishes that are beauty bag must! 

After these arrived I could not wait to get the polish I had on and as I though about the week ahead I decided to try Santa Monica Shutters first. This shade is described as "clean and fresh with a touch of translucence, this milky, off-white shade creates the best first-snowfall effect: one coat makes your nails look healthy and glowing; two coats lend them a pearly gleam." I absolutely agree with this description and opted for two coats. This is such a beautiful shade of nail polish and looks amazing on my nails. The shade of off white matched everything I wore and was going to wear for the rest of the week.  I also have to mention that they did not chip at all. The application process was the easiest I have ever experienced it glided on smoothly and didn't streak like most. I found this with all three shades which is such a pleasant surprise. The color pigments are true the PCH shade is described as "a stunning freshness of opaque cobalt blue. Tinged with purple undertones, it’s festive and on-trend and instantly lifts your mood." I must admit I my mood was lifted each and every time I look down at my toe nails. I also got lost of compliments and people asking me what shade of blue that I was wearing and who did my finger nails because the white was so perfect and not chipped! The final color was Laurel Canyon Lover which is  a "perfect balance between true red and burgundy, this shade looks sexy, festive and modern all at once" I must admit red is color I do not use often in the summer time until now.  This is a true red and burgundy as described  and looked very classy I wore it on my finger nails to work and they were a hit. My co-workers again wanted to know who did my nails. I am so thrilled with Lauren B. Beauty. The nail polish is superior and I don't need to even bother with a top coat which makes doing your own nails a breeze. Just apply this polish wait about a minute or two and you have perfect nails. Second coat is optional and this is a streak free formula!  This is truly a beauty bag must and the formula is without a doubt a 5 $$$$$ so of course this gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

OPI Infinite Shine 2 Nail Polish

I am so happy to bring you a review of 5 amazing shades that are perfect for spring and summer! They are the OPI Infinite Shine 2 Collection. I am a huge fan of these polishes and I am addicted to them if I am being complety honest. I was drawn to all of the shades but with pedicure season here I am so happy I can polish my toes and show them off! When I opened the box I wanted to imediatlly paint my fingers the beautiful yellow shade and fingers the bright pink but thinking of my week ahead and my lack of time to remove and re-polish my nails that was not an option for this week at least but I did manage to have fun with my nail color like I always do read on to find out their wear and what I decided to do. To purchase the OPI Infinite Shine 2 click here.

These are fives shades of nail polish from OPI you need this spring!

I could not use the yellow I spoke of earlier so I instead painted my finger nails the shade called In Pursuit of Purple which is described as a cool lavender which was perfect for me and my week ahead the color was gorgeous and lasted for 10 days without chipping and I did not use a base or top coat for this manicure. As far as my pedicure went I had more fun and went with the pink I mentioned and use Strawberry Margarita which is nice bright pop of pink. I love it, it lasted for 2 weeks which was great because I had no time to change it up.  Again I used no top coat or base coat and it did not chip at all my toes looked as good when I removed them to when I polished them. The next shade I had to try was the Olive For Green from OPI this was a beautiful ever green shade that was perfect for the month of May. The It's A Girl is a beautiful baby pink that I go to use over and over again and the last shade is the Exotic Birds Do Not Tweet which is of course the yellow and I love a great yellow. These are a beauty bag must. It is these best nail color I have had on my nails in a long time which makes this a 5 $$$$$ and no doubt this gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

OPI Infinite Shine Iconic Shades Collection

So #BeautyBagDolls my love affair of the OPI Infinite Shine nail lacquer continues but now I  received four beautiful shades from the Iconic collection called Sweet Heart, (which is a light shade of soft pink, I call this one my neutral)  OPI by Popular Vote, (this is a nice shade from the red family described as cool apple red) Can't Find My Czechbook (this is a perfect spring shade of  a aqua blue) and Shorts Story (this is a great shade of  hot pink that I of course wanted to try first since pinks are my favorite). To find these shades and more visit OPI.

Four OPI Infinite Shine Iconic Shades that are beauty bag musts!

Now I fought my urge to immediately apply the shade OPI Shorts Story I am getting better at not just immediately gravitating toward pinks that includes my obsession with lip colors and nails colors, although with nail colors I have always used anything from neutrals to pops of colors. When I decided which shade to use first I thought ahead of what I was doing and I had a weekend planed with friends so I went for a pop of color and applied Can't Find My Czechbook which is the aqua blue shade and  I had no regrets. This color is a beautiful fun shade of blue that was fun yet looks like a professional did it. I am also excited to tell all of you that this Infinite Shine line from OPI truly lasts days I mean it was a week later and my nail polish was holding on strong I used no top coat and this did not chip and I did not baby it either. I lived my life working and going out with friends. The shine truly lasts until you take it off with any type of nail polish remover so I am thrilled (I have had a polish in my day that would not come off). This is the best gel manicure you can get and its an at home one which makes it even better! This a 5 $$$$$ and no doubt this gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!

OPI Infinite Shine Collection

#BeautyBagDolls I am so happy and excited to be bringing you a review of OPI Infinite Shine Nail Polish Collection. I am a nail polish addict and I will wear any type of colors from bright shades to nudes. So when I received a variety of shades from OPI from nudes to bright shades I was beyond thrilled to try them out. I of course like anyone else do not have the time to change my nail polish each and every day so for me it needs to last and not chip or loose shine. OPI has solved all of these issues and they have 30 shades to choose from. To learn more and pick your favorite shades click here.

The shades are as follows from Left to Right:  Substantially Tan, Berlin There Done That, It Never Ends. The bright fun shades are Two-Timing the Zones, Living on the Bula-vard!, No Tan Lines and Do You Sea What I Sea?

I read that the OPI Infinite Shine Collection is a gel effect lacquer system that has hi-def gel shine without the light and wears up to 10 days. It is also soak free removal. When I opened the box I was thrilled with the shades they are beautiful the neutrals are Substantially Tan, Berlin There Done That, It Never Ends. The bright fun shades are Two-Timing the Zones, Living on the Bula-vard!, No Tan Lines and Do You Sea What I Sea? For me choosing a shade is difficult however I thought of my week ahead (I received this package on a Monday and painted my nails Monday night) and with meetings at work along with a presentation I decided that my usual choice of a bright pink, yellow or coral was not a great idea. I looked at what OPI sent me and I was totally drawn to the bright colors they sent but I made the adult decision to go towards the neutrals and decided that the shade that Berlin There Done That was perfect. I just love the shade and it was perfect for what I was going to wear for the next few days but what made me really happy was the compliments I got asking who my manicurist was and where I got them done. I was so happy I could say I had done them myself using OPI Infinite Shine. I am also excited to tell all of you that this Infinite Shine line from OPI truly lasts days I mean it was a week later and my nail polish was holding on strong I used no top coat and this did not chip and I did not baby it either. I did dishes by hand and lived my life. I also painted my toe nails the Shade Living On the Bula-vard! this was my pop of color that I could wear all week until I could use No Tan Lines and/or Do You Sea What I Sea? I am not a girl who shy's away from fun colors when ever I can I wear them on my finger nails because its just so much fun! I love nail polish and I love it to be long wear but that does not mean that when I want it to come off it should be difficult to come off. These polishes come off easily with any type of nail polish remover so I am thrilled (I have had a polish in my day that would not come off) this one stay on and keeps it high shine until you take it off.

The OPI Infinite Shine Collection is for the person who loves their polish to last and this is a beauty bag must. It is these best nail color I have had on my nails in a long time which makes this a 5 $$$$$ and no doubt this gets EXTRA LOVE FROM ANNA!
