Orly ‘Tis The Season Holiday 2010 Gift Set
One of the things I always look forward to when the holiday collections come out are the gift sets. Whether it is sets of minis or a selection of colors paired with a fun gift item, I always get suckered in.
If a set includes a bag, a cute stuffed animal, a holiday themed tool, etc. you can pretty much bet I’m all over it. The Orly ‘Tis The Season gift set is no exception. Of the six polishes in the ‘Tis The Season collection, Orly paired the traditional red creme, luscious green sparkler and white, icing-esque sheer with a metallic red clutch. |
My Top 5 Rescue Beauty Lounge Nail Polishes
With the Rescue Beauty Lounge 50% Off Sale looming in the near future, I’ve been receiving quite a few requests inquiring about my favorite RBL nail polishes.
If it isn’t completely evident, I’m beyond smitten with RBL and the owner Ji Baek. After chatting with her for the past couple years I’m honored to call her a friend. Though for the sake of this blog, regardless of my personal feelings, I’m completely unbiased when it comes to Ji’s polish. Hands down RBL has one of the best formulas I’ve ever encountered. The cremes are near impossible to beat. I’m sure most fanatics would agree that, in spite of the price, RBLs are worth the investment. That’s why this sale is such a big deal to the nail community. A chance to stock up on RBL for half price is like the 4th of July, Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve (my favorite holidays) all rolled into one. So which RBL nail polishes made the ALU Top 5? Read on to find out. |
CND Sparkling Effects Holiday Duo
Have you missed me Fanatics? I’ve missed you. This ALU post outage was brought to you by the letters “T” “W” and “C” (Time Warner Cable). Apparently my modem was so ancient the tech was amazed it still worked. Obviously TWC can’t say “I’m right on top of that Rose.” a la Christina Applegate in Don’t Tell Mom The Babysitter’s Dead.
Venting aside I have a fun holiday item to share with you from CND. If you haven’t picked up the vibe already, Holiday 2010 is one big old glitter party. And in the case of the CND Silver & Gold Sparkling Effects Duo, all that glitters IS gold (and silver). These two limited edition Effects, one cool & one warm, are sure to add the right kick of glam to your holiday manicures. This set is just one of the many prizes included in the Think Pink – Donate & Win Giveaway so keep reading for a glimpse at what you could win. |
All Lacquered Up in InStyle’s “Best of the Web” 2010
I am beyond thrilled to share with you that All Lacquered Up was selected as one of the best beauty blogs on the web in the annual InStyle “Best of the Web” feature. Out of the thousands of beauty blogs out there, the editors at InStyle chose four blogs for their list and I’m honored to be one of them.
If you would have told me back in 2007 when I started this site that it would ever be mentioned in any magazine, let alone InStyle, I would have laughed at you. What a journey this has been. ALU wouldn’t be what it is without all of you so I thank you for being a part of the site’s continued success. Congrats to my fellow “Best of the Web” beauty bloggers Now Smell This, Makeup Artist Tricia Sawyer and Celebrity Hairstylist Mark Townsend. |
