e.l.f. Mineral Shadows

e.l.f. has mineral eyeshadows! I think these may have been out for awhile & I just wasn't aware. I want to try the colors below, these look like some pretty neutrals. Have any of you, my readers, tried these? If you have, I'm awfully curious to find out what you think of these.

Schick Quattro for Women

I have received a complimentary Schick Quattro for Women razor to review on this blog. However, since I do not have enough hair to warrant shaving, I have turned this item over to my sister to review. The following are her thoughts on this product.

"First impression was I don't like the color! (my sister hates pink) The packaging is great, it was very easy to open. The handle of the razor is comfortable & provides a good grip, even when wet. The shower holder should have a bigger suction cup, but the idea is good.

The razor gives a smooth shave. I like the wire over the blades to minimize nicks. The conditioning strip lessened the irritation of my skin while shaving.

2 things I would change:

• The color
• Supply more cartridges w/this razor

Overall, I like this razor!"

SpinLash

I have had the opportunity to try a new product called SpinLash. It's a mascara w/a rotating brush that gently pulls the lashes to define, declump, & straighten. I was amazed at how well this worked for me in defining my lashes. Also, since it straightens out the lashes, the lashes are elongated as well. However, I do have 2 issues w/this product.

• One, don't bother to curl your lashes because the gentle pulling action will straighten the curl right out. However, there is somewhat of a compensation. The pulling action does create some lash lift on its own, although it won't give you the same crimped curl as a lash curler will.
• Secondly, & more importantly (to me, at least), when either the mascara, or the battery, is done for, you toss the whole thing out. To me, that's a waste. Why not replace the battery & the cartridge & keep the motorized brush? I don't understand that.

My 2 misgivings aside, my overall impression is good. I like what it did for my lashes. If they at least fix the 2^nd issue, I could definitely see myself buying one.

Dress Up Shoe

Do you love shoes? Would you love it if one pair of shoes could be made to look different each day, depending on your outfit & mood? Enter Dress Up Shoe. This kind of thing makes me wish I could wear normal shoes, they look so neat! You buy one very basic black pair of sandal shoes & then you accessorize them with "shoe jewelry".

You can buy a set that includes:

• An ankle strap that hooks on the heel of the shoe
• An anklet that pins to the toe strap & clasps around the ankle
• 2 brooches that you can pin to the toe strap instead of using the anklet
• A necklace/bracelet to be used w/the brooches
  

Once you see what they've got, you'll probably want to buy several sets, besides the shoes. And you'll be able to do so a lot easier since they have created a coupon code, for 15% off, that is just for you, my readers! Just enter DIVASHOP at checkout.

Eye & Lip Palette

Mark has new palettes to add to their face cases. Each palette has strips of color, either for eyes or lips. I haven't tried this, but it looks interesting.
