Snowberry Nourishing Exfoliator ($18) In Snowberry’s Nourishing Exfoliator, you experience a special combination of exotic oils, functional herbal extracts, Jojoba, precious gems, cultured coral and pearl, to safely remove dead skin tissue and leave the skin feeling smooth and alive. By not using typical polyethylene beads, or chemical peel, Snowberry’s Exfoliator is kinder to your face and the environment too.
My Thoughts:
The Snowberry Nourishing Exfoliator is a light tan/beige colored cream exfoliator. I love that there are no beads or some kind of grain. I hate when exfoliators have that because it almost ends up being too rough or totally useless. Because there are no beads or grain, it’s very gentle. It’ll work for all skin types. I also like that the exfoliator doesn’t leave your face feeling dry and tight. Instead, it left my skin feeling really moisturized and smooth. The Snowberry Nourishing Exfoliator didn’t irritate my face or leave it looking red. Even though I really like the exfoliator, I’m not sure it would be a repurchase item for me because I’ve used other gentle exfoliators just like the Snowberry Nourishing Exfoliator that work just as well but cost less.

Snowberry Everyday SPF 15 Broad Spectrum Medium Sun Protection ($35) Snowberry’s Everyday SPF15 is completely natural, with that deliciously light, clear texture that you will love on your skin.
My Thoughts:
OMG! I think I may have found my new favorite sun protection. The Snowberry Everyday SPF 15 Broad Spectrum Medium Sun Protection feels so light and moisturizing. What I really love about the Snowberry Everyday SPF is that it doesn’t leave behind a greasy or white residue. It doesn’t feel heavy either. In fact, it doesn’t even feel like you’re applying sun protection. It feels like you’re applying moisturizer. It absorbs into the skin very quickly and leaves your skin feeling so soft and moisturized. The quick absorbancy is perfect because you don’t have to wait to apply your makeup. The Snowberry Everyday SPF 15 doesn’t have a heavy scent. Instead, the scent is really light and smells like something that reminds me of oat or wheat; something natural. I have a very sensitive nose, and it doesn’t bother me at all. I can see all skin types using it because it provides moisture but isn’t greasy, oily at the same time. I just love it so much!

Sarah Potempa Beachwaver ($199)
The Beachwaver is an innovative curling iron with a unique design that was developed by celebrity hairstylist, Sarah Potempa.
- Rotating curling iron gives you red carpet-ready waves with the touch of a button
- Allows you to control the side you are curling–with a Left and Right button and rotates for you
- Makes it easy to curl your hair
- Digital temperature dial lets you select from 310-450F, based on your hair type
- 6.5 in. Protective Ceramic Rod, with Tourmaline
- Beveled, customized clamp for no kinks
- Infused with Gold Powder for uniform heat
- Unique, patent pending design
My Thoughts:
I’ve never used a curling iron like the Sarah Potempa Beachwaver before. Once I saw it, I knew I had to have it. It’s a rotating curling iron that gives you beach wavy hair. That’s right. You read it right. A rotating curling iron. The barrel rotates with a touch of a button! I was able to get wavy hair in half the amount of time it would normally take me with a regular curling iron. Another plus is the curling iron isn’t super heavy. Thank goodness!
The Beachwaver is so easy to use. You turn it on and set it to the temperature you want to use it at by pushing the “-” and “+” buttons. The temperature ranges from 310-450°F. You can tell what temperature it is at because there is a digital screen that displays the current temperature. Next, you push the “L” or “R” button to let the Beachwaver know which side you are curling. After that, you clamp a section of your hair to the curling iron and push down on the “Go” button to curl. The barrel rotates and then you let go of the “Go” button to stop the rotation. Easy huh? My favorite thing about the Beachwaver, aside from the rotating barrel, is that it makes curling the back of my hair so easy. I don’t have to worry about whether I’m curling my hair in the correct direction or not.
Aside from all the love I just spewed over the Beachwaver, I do have a couple of complaints. My first complaint is that I wish the “Go” button was placed somewhere else. When I would clamp my hair to the barrel, my finger would almost always push the “Go” button at the same time. I couldn’t help it. It was where my finger would always land when trying to use the clamp. My second complaint is that the clamp gets hot. I could feel the clamp beginning to get warm when I was about halfway done. Thank goodness I was able to finish before it got too hot to touch. Other than those complaints, I only have love for the Sarah Potempa Beachwaver.

OPI Skyfall James Bond Collection ($8.50 each)
My Thoughts:
For this season’s holiday collection, OPI released a collection celebrating the 50th Anniversary of James Bond. Out of the 13 colors from the collection, 4 colors really caught my eye: The Man With The Golden Gun (read review), On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, You Only Live Twice, and The World Is Not Enough.
On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is shimmery, smoky grey. The formula is on the thin side and will definitely need a 3rd coat. In the photo below, I only used 2 coats and you can tell I need one more coat.
You Only Live Twice is a shimmery red color that reminds me of the holiday parties. It’s very festive. The formula isn’t quite as thin as On Her Majesty’s Secret Service so you can get away with just 2 coats. I would go for 3 though for good measure. In the photo below, I used 2 coats.
The World Is Not Enough is shimmery light taupe color. Just like On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, the formula is thin. I think it may actually be thinner. You will need at least 3 coats for sure. In the photo below, I used 2 coats.

OPI The Man With The Golden Gun ($38)
My Thoughts:
OPI The Man With The Golden Gun is a clear top coat with real flakes 18k gold. For reals! Real gold! It is limited edition and is part of the OPI Sky Fall Collection released in honor of the 50th Anniversary of James Bond. The top coat comes in a gold bottle that is boxed with a flip top. I thought when applying the top coat a lot of the gold flakes would come out, but instead it was really sparse. In the photo below, it took me 2 coats to get that much gold flakes onto my nails. I also found if you apply a second coat without letting the first coat dry a little bit, it would just brush off some of the gold flakes already on the nail. A bit annoying if you ask me. On the plus side, There is no need to add a top coat over this top coat. The flakes lay flat and don’t stick up. I can run my finger over my nails and just feel smoothness. The gold color is very versatile and can be combined with almost any color. It’s quite timeless. Also, I’ve been noticing a lot of gold this fall season so far. It was all over the runways. Overall, I feel it’s fun to have. It’s not something I think everybody has to have. I just wish it wasn’t $38.
