This is a TotalBeauty.com nails article Gel nail polish is all the rage … and for good reason. It not only gives your nails a sleek shine, but it also lasts longer than traditional polish, keeping chips and cracks at bay for up to two weeks.

That's why we tried out the Sally Hansen at-home gel manicure kit to see if it's possible to get a salon-worthy manicure at home. Is it worth the effort? Click through to find out! Get started

It is my humble opinion that at the Victoria Secrets Fashion Show that aired on CBS December 4th, that Bruno Mars stole the show. Yes, Rihanna looked beautiful and sang nicely, and Justin Bieber did put on a nice dance show, but the soulful funk and roll of Bruno Mars and his band stole the show!

Now I did a wee recap of the show in this video and demonstrate the 3 things you need to get a Victoria's Secret model look.

1. Winged liner and shadow
2. Large voluminous beachy waves rolled back
3. Watch the video to see!

Hello Gorgeous! Oh I love finding a new star product!

A beauty item that can be used in more than one way.

 I have been playing with my sample of Veil Illuminating Complexion Fix in 2N for a few weeks now.

I have used it as a concealer under eyes. I have used it on the lid as a shadow base and to just wear a bare eyelid that is even skin toned.

I've used it as a highlighter under my makeup and as a blemish concealer. I swear it's the peachy yellow tone that works miracle on the skin.

It's super light, blends quick and easy and in my experience the brush applicator makes the difference. Please visit the website to learn more about the line and get one for yourself!

A fusion of concealer and skin treatment, Illuminating Complexion Fix is garnering acclaim as the “best skin concealer” by industry insiders and global concealer devotees.

 This all over face pen veils areas of concern with light infused pigments and amazing buildable coverage — eliminating the need for heavy foundation. It is texturally weightless and virtually imperceptible on the skin.
Illuminating Complexion Fix for face & eyes is powered with our proprietary Lightfast Technology™ — the ultimate illuminating, soothing, and hydrating compound.

It helps diminish skin discoloration, soothes sensitivity and increases moisture in the skin leading to a smoother, more even complexion over time.

Available in Porcelain, Light, Medium, and Tan, with a choice of neutral, pink or gold undertone to perfectly match skin tones. 12 shades total.

“Some people’s complexion varies on different regions of their face, and may change from season to season. For this reason, I created neutral, pink, and gold undertones so you can find a perfect match for your skin tone.” — Sebastien Tardif
