Dior Nail Glow: My Nails But Better?


Dior Nail Glow has been on my wishlist for the past year. I finally decided to pick it up a few weeks ago. According to Sephora this product is supposed to make the pinks of your nails pinker and the whites of your nails whiter. It's supposed to enhance your natural nail and give them a natural and healthy glow. I agree that it does in fact do exactly what it's described to do. My nails had a healthy and glowy appearance (essentially it was my nails but better). It almost looked like I got a french manicure. I loved it! My only issue is that it doesn't last long. I would say that your nails look really nice for about 3 days. After 4 days the polish starts wearing off and it starts looking patchy on some nails. For $26 CAD I was hoping that this would last for about a week. I know that chipping happens no matter how much you pay for a product. I guess I just had very high expectations for this product. I don't regret buying it because it's a great way have a polished nail appearance when you don't feel like doing a complete manicure. I will be using it when I need to dress professional or when I can't decide on a color to paint my nails (which happens often). This is a nice product to have if you're a nail polish addict like me but I wouldn't call it a must-have product. I mostly bought this as a treat to myself.

September Favorites!


I know everyone says that the past month went by so fast but it really did. So much has happened in September. School started, I went to my cousin's wedding and my other cousin's bridal shower, I started volunteering for a mentor program that I'm really excited about and I got sick. I don't have many beauty favorites this month because I didn't have time to really try a lot of things, but I really love the things that are included here.

Essie Ladylike
Described as a soft elegant mauve it is the perfect shade for any occasion, whether it's a wedding or just an ordinary day. It's a mauve version of a nude shade. It makes your nails look polished. I can't believe I waited so long to try it.

The Body Shop Honey Bronzer in 01
The cause of my purchasing this bronzer is the essiebutton effect. Estée has mentioned this bronzer a lot and it was always on my list of products to try. I'm so glad I did because it warms up my face without making it look orange. The actual bronzer looks a little orange in the pan and when you swatch it but once you apply it and blend it out it just makes your complexion look better. Before trying this bronzer I was never a big fan of bronzers because they were either too orange or looked muddy. This has become my favorite bronzer and I reach for it at least a couple times a week.

La Roche-Posay Toleriane Ultra
There was a point this month where I had a really annoying cold and my skin was feeling and looking very dry. This got rid of my dry patches overnight. The product dries quickly so you don't think it's going to do anything but somehow it just works so well. I've been using this morning and night and my skin hasn't been dry. I also like wearing this under makeup. It seems to help my foundation apply more smoothly. It doesn't help in matifying my t-zone though but it helps when you have troubled skin.
