Sonia Kashuk

I was wandering around Target over the weekend with a friend of mine who was quite excited when we stumbled across the Sonia Kashuk line.

To be honest I've never heard of her until now!

We sniffed through all of her fragrances and checked out all of the makeup.

Bath & Body is always my favourite thing to buy & try, so I grabbed the Pink Innocencia hand creme ($6) and eau de toilette ($20).

          


My friend picked up the Yellow Alluriana hand creme, which has a light, fresh grapefruit scent.

All of the fragrances were nice in their own way, but the Pink Innocencia was just so floral and romantic.

I'm still deciding whether I like it as an eau de toilette, but I really love the hand creme. It has a great consistency. It's very smooth, moisturizing and thick, but not greasy at all.

I'm happy with my little purchase and now that I know about her, I'm going to check out more of the Sonia Kashuk line for sure!

Does anyone have Sonia Kashuk favourites?

Shellac Mani


 
 
 

Over the Christmas holidays I was feeling festive and got in to the habit of painting my nails in Christmas colours... red, with a gold sparkly accent nail, silver and green etc.

This carried on after the holidays and I got excited to paint my nails a new colour each week (because that's about how long a polish will last for me).

Gradually my nail painting desires have worn off, mainly because I've lost patience for the drying time, and I've begun to sport bare nails.

Happily my friend, Samantha, and I took a trip to the nail salon over the weekend and I got a shellac manicure. Knowing I'd be looking at the same colour for up to 3 weeks, I avoided the temptation to pick a hot pink or mint green and went with one of my favourites, a classic French manicure. It never gets old.

Since I wanted something a little more exciting, I went for some diamonds to spice it up a bit!
