IN THE MOOD FOR POLISH

There is no easier way to feel put together than with nail polish color. Here are some of the new Essie shades that I have tried.

This is a high shine metallic gold copper almost brass color. It looks brown in the bottle but brass on nails.

I am loving Gigi's bronzed eye shadow and cheek with a nude lip makeup look. It is a nice change for winter just like the white bucket bag, fresh and bright....

IN THE MOOD FOR AN ELIXIR

A 2016 skin care trend will be superfood powders and liquids that supposedly help prevent the signs of aging and more. These products are available at Space NK and Sephora.
