I got really lucky I got to test out a brand new HydroPeptide gift set that would be great for any gift giving but this set is due coming out March 15th, 2012 just in time for Mothers Day!! (I’m a mom.. humm lol)

The set has a Brightening Apple Papaya Hydration Soufflé mask and HydroStem +6 serum, their plant stem cell and peptide serum. The serum comes in a airplane safe packaging so you can take it with you on the go. The serum is amazing!! If the rest of their product line is as divine as their serum wow..

In fact I heard that An Emmy Award-winning producer they gave the serum to said she stopped her Botox treatments after using the serum for month! I would believe it too.. Their serum rocks!

Now the Brightening Apple Papaya Hydration soufflé mask is a brand new product, well that’s not really true. The mask is new for retail customers to buy and use at home. It has been used for years in spas to lighten, soften and just treat your skin.

Both products are made with apple peptides that are well known for how they help your skin help itself.

The mask has to me a light citrus scent. For some reason when I saw on the label soufflé I was thinking like fluffy soft clouds which wasn’t what looks like. Just meaning I thought it would be thicker than it is.
Here is what is looks like:

• Which is ok because you really don’t need that much.


• Easy to use, cleanse your skin, pat dry and apply the mask for about ten minutes.


• Then rinse off with warm water. I pat dry again and then I used their serum.

The serum is creamy which is a nice change being I have been testing more than usual that are oil based instead of creamy. Also what’s nice about creamy is you are not wasting any as you apply it to your skin. When I use a oil based serum I always seem to get it running down the back of my hand so which means I am wasting it..

To be honest I have wanted to try this brand since oh forever!! It’s one of those brands I have heard nothing but good things about and they live up to it for sure!! I get the DaySpa Magazine and see stuff in there all the time about this brand.

This set is due out together as a HydroPeptide gift set is due out in early March. The serum travel size for this set runs you about $34.00 the mask apple papaya stem cell mask is a 1 oz gift set size, it was previously only available in a big jar to their luxury spa retailers. The MSRP on this one is $38.
The set is $48.00

Why not pick up at set for mom and don’t forget you!!

Now just a little something I want to point out.. It seems that there has been sites (mostly on eBay that are selling HydroPeptide brand but are not legal resellers. So if you are going to buy HydroPeptide brand of products please be sure to buy directly from a HydroPeptide specialty retailer.

The company has no control over the HydroPeptide products sold on sites such as eBay.. you might think that you are getting a better deal because the price is less?? You are not, it could not even be the same product, old outdated stuff who knows!!
I just thought it was important to point this out. The company has had such problems they even have it on their website that this is happening.. As a business owner I felt this needed to be said. Its so sad this is happening. This is not the first brand that this has happen to, and it won’t be the last..

This is so as awesome for them!! I just got this in my email! From Anna over at Glitter Gal..
(click on the image to make it bigger)
“It’s pretty exciting. A few months ago we were contacted by the New York Times after they heard so much about our nail polishes, particularly our holographic collection. They just loved “Bruised Ego” and used it in their article with some of the world’s most beautiful clothes. We feel so honored as we are the only nail polish brand those chose to use. The article is called “Spring Trends | Iridescence” (which I’ve attached).”

Below is the link – we are on image 5. (that is the photo above) Also watch the Video Clip to see the amazing fashion with the models wearing out polish.

As you know I am very proud to say OverallBeauty.com is one of the lucky ones to offer Glitter Gal holographic nail polishes. But I do not at this time have Bruised Ego in stock.. but it will be soon!! Thanks Anna and Kerry for making the best holographic nail polishes ever!!

I love being on Twitter, I really do! I saw a tweet that turn out to be by the Celebrity Makeup Artist Lina Hanson owner/creator of Global Face Serum one day on Twitter. Since we were following each other I asked her questions through DM that turn into Ms. Lina Hanson being super sweet and sending me a bottle of her Global Face Serum to test out and do a possible review on. Oh how could I turn that down?? Now part of the title of my blog review says Beauty Around The World, and there is a reason for that.

In their words:
Global Face Serum is 100% natural. It is completely free of parabens, artificial fragrance, silicone, petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances or any other chemical ingredient. Absolutely no animal ingredients or animal testing.

We support fair trade and sustainable harvesting. The key ingredients used in our serum are harvested by women worldwide to promote their economic growth and give them a sense of empowerment.

Ingredients:
Andansonia digitata (Baobab) Seed Oil, Argania Spinosa (Argan) Nut Oil*, Sclerocarya birrea (Marula) Kernel Oil*, Camellia oleifera (Camellia) Seed Oil*, Cucurbita maxima (Pumpkin) Seed Oil*, Bertholletia excelsa (Brazil) Nut Oil, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Citrus reticulata (Mandarin) Oil*, Citrus aurantium amara, (Neroli) Oil, Boswellia carteri (Frankincense) Oil*, Cymbopogen martinii (Palmarosa) Oil*, Cananga Odorata (Ylang Ylang) Oil*. *Organic Ingredient

One of things I noticed right off that I could smell that Argan Oil is part of the serum. From another product I will be doing a review on soon I found out that the true scent of Argan Oil happens to be a kinda burned coffee scent.. So any products that uses Argan Oil in its most natural state, well you are going to smell it.. even its just a little bit. Neat huh? Learn something new everyday..
What Argan Oil does:
Argan—Referred to as “Liquid Gold” in Morocco. This rare oil is known to protect against premature aging, hydrate the skin and neutralize free radicals. Argan oil is produced by a women’s cooperative, and the earnings provide support to their entire community.
She is helping you and me, and those who are building a life for themselves.. just so awesome..
Global Face Serum goes on smooth, soften fine lines, helps your complexion and helps promote your inner glow. Now the serum is a oil and you only really need a small amount of it to apply all over. I do hope that there is skincare products to go with the serum.
Its a everyone type of face serum created by a Celebrity Makeup Artist that uses products that help women build a life/business of their own.. its 100% Natural so there is no worries about skin type either.. Just how cool is that?

The cost of the serum is $85.00 but boy your face is going to thank you!!

Having one of those days where I just want to go somewhere new, not sure where yet, just somewhere new.. Well I have never been to Fjords so I decided that I will just start Pinin to go .. with a little help from NerdLaquer my Pinin has started..:

Been there? Me either but it just sounds like the place to be… In the sunlight it does have a pretty glitter look huh? Well we decided it was nap time so we took it into the shade..:

Which if you are wondering as I was.. the Fjords are famous and found in Norway.. I knew there was a good reason I wanted to go
Check out more information here: http://www.visitnorway.com/en/Where-to-go/Fjord-Norway/
Oh my gosh but Don’t Panic NerdLacquer is taking a little vacation it seems.. so I thought I would show off her version of not panicking…

Ok ok I won’t panic because I am sure she will be back soon with some fun new colors.. which by the way who doesn’t love something bright and shiny? Oh
How about something called Shiny? Cause it sure is!

See? Did I not say shiny?? There is jewelry on etsy right now made from Shiny.. cause its well so shiny it just fits its name! No? Ok how about a little peek into the shade with Shiny..
So bright even in the shade I need sunglasses! Its shines with the glitter that is making Nerdlacquer so famous. I found out all the Nerds I have, this one dries the fastest..
Oh did I hear someone say Sexy? Oh you bet they are.. and who doesn’t want a nail polish that says so? Now I don’t know about you but I am a big Dr. Who fan.. so when I saw I Think You Call Me..Sexy well I just you know had to have it.. and boy oh boy was he worth it.. do polishes have a sex I wonder.. do you call them your girls or your boys..
I would love to wear this out and have someone ask me the name of it..
Well we took at peek in the sun with our sunglasses on, how about a peek into the shade?

Pretty hot to me, so pretty hot.. now you know I have been behaving, honest, cross my fingers…
I am a big FireFly fan.. love the series even as short as it was and the movie that came after wards.. when in the movie Serenity Caption Mal has decided enough is enough.. he sits the crew down and says these famous words I’m Aim to Misbehave” wouldn’t it be cool to have a nail polish that shows those words off?

Well to be honest this polish fits the words it been named after.. Not seen Serenity or FireFly? Check out Amazon for DVD’s or Redbox or whatever you have for renting movies with.
Well that was my day… Like to thank the NerdLacquers nail polishes that helped me with my fun silly day.. You can get yours from NerdLacquer on Etsy when she is there.. And I think Harlow&Co in Canada carries them as well.
