New Zoya offer and Youbeauty.com

If you like Zoya on facebook or follow them on twitter you've probably heard about this already, but for everyone that hasn't, in celebration of getting 50,000 likes on facebook Zoya is giving away their 8oz Remove+ nail polish remover with every online order. This offer is good on any purchase, besides their spoon things, just use the code ZOYA50K and it's good until 7/24/11.



Also, I wanted to tell you about this pretty cool website called Youbeauty.com. It's a website that was created by Dr. Oz (yeah, that Dr. Oz) and Dr. Roizen in order to equip women with the tools to improve their inner and outer beauty in order for them to live healthier and happier lives. I was invited to the launch of this site, that was on 7/13/11 and I actually met Dr. Roizen. This site it pretty interesting, after the launch I went one it myself and tried it out. The first thing you do is make an account and then you can take a variety of quizzes (from hair, to face shape, to sleep...), these quizzes are based on research and examine all the factors that affect beauty and they add about 3 quizzes per month so you'll never get bored! All your results are recorded and then you are given action steps to follow so that you can reach your full, beautiful potential. There is also a team of specialist, from every field imaginable, that write interactive columns an answer any questions you may have. Your profile stays completely private and you can even ask questions anonymously. Its a cool concept and a really nice site, the quizzes are fun and very informative, so definitely check it out!

Until next time,

Wet n' Wild Goes Goth!

This one is called Morbid. the name is definitely morbid but the color is really cool.
This color has a black base with really nice emerald green shimmer. In the bottle it can look kind of teal or blue, but it's green. I thought it looked like OPI Unripened, so I was pretty keen on trying it out. I have 2 coats on here, but one thick coat would be just fine. It covers really well and with a coat of Seche Vite it dries pretty fast too. 

From left to right:
Morbid

The Unripened came out freaking awesome in these pictures, even better than the pictures I took of it when I reviewed it. I wish it came in a bigger bottle. The Morbid came out strange though. With the flash it started to look more like a frosty purple green duochrome, which it's definitely not. So compare the Unripened here to the Morbid in the first picture. The Morbid has more shimmer, while the Unripened has glitter that changes color. Both are really nice though.

I wanted to also ad a note about the glitter I reviewed last time. It was super hard to take off, so I strongly advise everyone to get a quality nail polish remover. I cheaped out last time I was buying mine and it's just terrible. It literally takes off a layer at a time, I can stamp my nails and it will just take off the stamp part. So, really really really you need a good remover.

Also, Sephora does have a bunch of nail polishes (and other stuff) on sale online and in store. I wasn't particularly drawn to any colors enough to spend $5 on them. And a reminder! http://www.gilt.com is having a Deborah Lippmann sale tomorrow Tuesday 2/8! I will be checking it out and letting you guys know if the prices are any good. Again, it's a private sale site so you'd have to sign up to be able to access it.

Until next time,
