Beauty-FULL Christmas- Zoya Color Box Gift Sets

Many of you have seen the beautiful Color Box Gift Sets that Zoya has put out recently.  I love them.  They're the perfect way to shower a friend with incredible nail polish.  Zoya is one of my favorite brands of nail polish and I have yet to try one that disappoints me.  I would HIGHLY recommend that anyone who was unsure about buying Zoya go and get one of these amazing boxes:)

Every box comes with 3 beauties tucked inside a beautiful black box.  And each box is only $24:)

Here are my favorites (just in case you feel like getting me some Zoya polishes!)

BONUS: EVERY box gets FREE EXPEDITED SHIPPING!

Monday Manicure

Today PaA challenged us to include a "fierce accent nail" :)  Well I wore BEAUTIFUL Zoya Vanessa for Thanksgiving & did not have a chance to do a new mani for a whole 6 1/2 days!  *gasp* So I just added a beautiful accent nail to her.

 First I must say, Zoya Vanessa is a MUST HAVE.  Seriously, it's my new favorite red and it has cranberry, raspberry, plum hues (this picture does NOT do her justice).  She shifts from vampy red in the shade to a bright berry red in sunlight.  It's basically love in a bottle:)  I love her.  You need her.  AND if you don't already have any Zoyas you should rethink that decision.  The mani in this picture was done on Tuesday morning and this was photographed on Monday afternoon!  That is 6 1/2-ish days of tip wear right there and it doesn't look too shabby to me.  (Btw, I forgot to put a base coat on before I wore it for nearly a week.  Could you imagine it with Zoya's Armor Top Coat?!?!?)

The accent nail polish is Tuff Scent Wisdom. It is a gold glitter packed polish in a slightly yellow-ish clear base.  AND this is one coat of grapefruit scented goodness.  Yes I said ONE coat:)  I love how simple yet beautiful this Monday Mani came out.  I'm so glad I did it.  Red & gold on my nails?!?!  I know you're shocked aren't you...ok you're not but I still love you:)

What is your favorite accent nail polish???

Beauty-FULL Christmas- Vitabath

I recently received a 12fl. oz. Vitabath in my Cosmo VoxBox from Influenster.  This was my FAVORITE item in my VoxBox, as I previously had experience with the other products.

I recieved the Dreamy Pink Frosting scent from the Cupcake Couture line.  Let me tell you, it smells divine.  I cannot wait to order more Vitabath products.  They are incredible.  The scent is decadent, not overpowering and makes your skin soft.  The body wash contains Vitamin A, B3, Pro-vitamins B5, C, & E which are skin conditioning nutrients.  It is sulfate & paraben free and rich in antioxidants which revitalize your skin.

Even though this may seem pricey at $9.99 a bottle, a little goes a long way.  You NEED to go buy this, it will help keep your skin moisturized and glowing all winter long.  Please go treat yourself to this amazing body wash.  It would make the PERFECT stocking stuffer!  I know I'm planning on getting another one for myself and a couple others for my favorite people on my Christmas shopping list.  Check out their website at http://www.myvitabath.com/


Here is some background information on the company, which refers to its product justly as "luxury in a bottle."
