TOTW: The Many Uses of Argan Oil

I was traveling over the weekend and when it came to remove my makeup, I realized I forgot to bring my eye makeup remover.  I had on liquid eyeliner and hard to remove mascara that facial cleanser alone won't do.  To improvise, after I washed my face (the water help loosen things up a bit), I carefully rubbed on argan oil that I use as my facial moisturizer on my lids and under my eyes, follow by wiping the areas with a soft tissue paper.  Tada...it works, well too I might add.  So, next time you are in a pinch, I hope you got some oil laying around as backup.

Pop of Spring: Essie Splash of Grenadine

 (please excuse my dry cuticles)

I was at the salon doing my nails and I picked Essie Splash of Grenadine.  OMGosh, I love this color so much, I just want to share the swatches with you.  It is a cool pinkish purple, part of Essie permanent collection.  The formula is like milky jelly.  It is on the semi sheer side, you will need a good 2-3 coats to get it looking opaque.  It last about 5 days before it starts to chip, however, I do use my hands a lot to do chores so it may last longer on others.  Overall, what a lovely spring color and easy to remove formula.

Adorable Seahorses Cardigan @ Target

I came across this adorable seahorses cardigan at Target last week.  I am a sucker for novelty print so I had to get it.  Beside the cute print, I think the material is a bargain for the price (on sale for $15), regular price is $22.99.  You can see this and other pattern cardigans here.

TOTW: Don't Forget Your Lips

This week tip is more of a reminder.  When you slather sunscreen onto your body and face, don't forget your lips, they need it too.  My favorite is Neutrogena Moisturizing Lip Balm SPF 15.
