Polish, Pages, and Pretties: Essence Party Princess

Welcome to another addition of Polish, Pages, and Pretties featuring a sheer pink glitter polish by Essence called Party Princess.

 

 

This book is one of my favorites, and I always reach for it and sometimes just read certain sections or chapters. It brings me back to a more romantic time.

 

 

Essence Party Princess is much more of a party in the bottle, and I love how the caps match the polish now! This is so cute on a vanity, but it is more of a topcoat in reality. Sheer hot pink jelly mixed with iridescent flakies.

 

 

This polish wore for a week without chips and is still going strong (although I will be removing it soon for Franken Tuesday!!) and sidenote...I can't believe how long my nails are getting. Thanks O.P.I Nail Envy!

 

 

If you aren't familiar with Camille and enjoy books like Pride and Prejudice and other love stories...check this one out. It is by Alexandre Dumas Fils.

 

Enjoy!

Clinique Almost Lipstick in Luscious Honey

Almost lipstick? What is that? That is what I asked myself when I received this. I was hoping it would be all the good things about a lipstick without any of the bad. Was it? Let's see!

 

 

 

Clinique Almost lipsticks are thin tubes of sheer, jelly-like color that twist up. They retail for $15. This shade is called Luscious Honey, which really does not fit the color. This is sheer red.

 

 

I like the thin packaging, but it feels a little lightweight and boring in my hand. I know Clinique is known for their minimalist packaging, but this just doesn't do it for me.

 

 

I really like this color, it is super wearable and easy to apply. It feels nice on the lips. This is for someone who wants a no fuss, good quality, decently priced, pop of color. Nothing special, no frills.

 



 

On me, it is a my lips but better shade. It adds just enough so I look awake and polished, but not like I am wearing makeup. My only big issue with this is the distinctly lipsticky smell and taste. Not my style.

 

Nice product marketed for everyday use. This is good for a natural look, but it should smell as juicy as it looks.
