Like every other fashion loving girl, I like to have salon quality nails at all times.  Do I achieve this goal, not all the time.  The reason being is that while I love to have the glam nails I refuse to spend the $35+ dollars on something that will last about a week before chipping off.  That is until I found the joy of Kiss Nails.  I’m not normally one for fake nails, but after trying this on, I have to say they look just like the real thing.  Even better is that they are super easy to use, I have to try to file them down to size, and the best part…all their nail kits retail for under $10.  So not only is this a super good product, but it’s a total money saver.

Kiss nails come in everything from everlasting French manicure (no airbrushing, so the white won’t chip off), to their Catwalk line which is inspired by the latest runway shows, to their super fun Diva line which for the summer include color changing nails, put them in the sun and cute little pink/purple designs show up.

Kiss has also introduced a new line for toe nails.  Now I know what you’re thinking, false nails for toes.  I too was little iffy on the idea, until I saw them. Super easy to apply, no filing, and you just got yourself a quality looking French pedicure for around $10, this is way better than the $45+ that salons will charge you.

Kiss Catwalk, Diva and Everlasting nails are sold at retail stores such as Target, Wal-Mart, CVS, and Walgreens.

Now, because we love our readers and Kiss does too we are giving 2 of our fabulous readers a total Kiss package that including one of everything from the Catwalk, Everlasting, and Diva nail and toe nail lines!!

Meet my new best friend in the makeup world: Miracle Skin Transformer (MST).  A super light weight product that not only helped to even out my skin tone, but also hydrates, and has SPF 20. My skin was velvet soft to the touch and had a flawless, luminous look that I usually only get after an air brush application.  Using passion fruit extract, Vitamins K & A for hydration and naturally derived silicones and mica to enhance your natural skin tone you are given a product that was able to stand up to 98+ temperatures in New York City and still looked perfect at the end of the day.  I was left with the same flawless look at 8pm that I had when I left the house at 10am.

Ease of application is a total plus, you don’t need fancy brushes or applicators, your fingers or a cosmetic sponge works just fine with this product. Just apply, add a little powder to set, and your good to go.  This product even works well with your favorite cream or gel blush, you don’t have to be afraid of messing up the coverage.  Touching up is also easy as the product fits nicely in your favorite cosmetics bag.

Miracle Skin Transformer is also perfect for who don’t have ton of time to spend getting ready in the mornings.  Created by Sarah McNamara mother of 2 young children, she understands the need to have a great looking product that takes next to no time to apply. MST will come in four different shades from no color to tan, is 100% natural, and is not tested on animals (always a plus)

MST will be available nationwide starting on Aug 1^st, however while supplies last you can get a free sample of either medium or tan shade on their website: http://www.miracleskintransformer.com/product-buy.php
