J. Crew + Essie = My Pedicure Dreams Come True
By TheGlamtastic · December 1, 2010 · 0 Comments ·
I love getting a manicure and pedicure! What girl doesn't love to be pampered?
So, I was more than excited to hear that one of my all-time favorite clothing and accessory collections, J. Crew, partnered with the nail polish gurus at Essie to create four oh-so-fabulous nail colors for J. Crew customers-only!
These four shades compliment J.Crew's holiday collection, which is overflowing with glamour, sparkles, studs and shine. And while my husband wants to keep me on a "budget" this holiday season, he can't dare complain about $20 nail polish.
What's your favorite nail polish this holiday season? Tell us about it!!!

My Fall Splurge & Steal Revealed
By TheGlamtastic · September 16, 2010 · 0 Comments ·
You've probably heard me say this 100 times, but "we're on a budget." My studly husband is back at Columbia Business School for his second and final year. I am back to being the bread winner.
While he's in school, I've promised to limit my spending to one splurge per month, which is VERY difficult to do! It requires a lot of self-restraint, and I've found that it's best to leave all credit cards at home to avoid temptation. I am horrible at dieting, whether it involves giving up chocolate cake or limiting spending, but I am giving it my all.
However, I can of course "splurge" once in a while and still hunt for those beauty and fashion "steals" that rarely come around. After a rough day, I love to spoil myself with the little things, like a lip color here, a nail polish there.
I've just discovered my new September splurge! Okay, perhaps there is more than one...
What are your September splurges and steals?

Beauty Do or Dare: Neon Nails
By TheGlamtastic · July 15, 2010 · 0 Comments ·
It's already mid-July...WTF! Last thing I remember it was May and I was celebrating my one year anniversary at my fabulous job. How is it July???!!!
Well, while summer is in full swing I'm taking advantage and bringing out my neon brights. I better model my neon nail polishes while it's still beach season.
Before the summer comes to a close, take risks on your toe nail polish! If you love your new beyond bright shades, show them off with Gucci peep toe pumps or J. Crew flip flops. If you decide you hate the color after 48 hours, nail polish remover or closed-toed shoes are always an option!
What's your favorite summer nail polish shade? Tell us about it!

My V-Day Beauty Wish List
Please note: I did receive select editorial samples for review.
And like any good wife, I try to help my new hubby out whenever possible. I don't play games or beat around the bush regarding what I may or may not want. If I did, I'd end up with a see-through cashmere turtle neck dress - no, I am not kidding. He almost purchased that as my "special surprise" gift last V-day. Of course, I would have given him a big hug, super smooch and thanked him.
This year, here's my beauty wish list (in case my husband happens to be reading this)...

Having an Orgasm? Introducing NARS NEW Orgasm Illuminator
By TheGlamtastic · January 19, 2010 · 0 Comments ·
Anyone who is a makeup junkie knows all about NARS oh-so-lovely Orgasm collection. This legendary franchise, which began with Blush, now also contains a Lip Gloss, 3-in-1 Multiple, and Nail Polish.
Orgasm, NARS oh-so-sexy shade, is light pink in color with flecks of gold shimmer that add just the right amount of sexy shimmer to the cheeks, lips, eyes and toes. This sly shade looks fabulous on almost any skin tone, even if you have the skin of Snow White like I do!
Now, NARS introduces the next addition to the collection, the NARS Orgasm Illuminator. This sheer, weightless fluid isn't sticky or oily like many other liquid illuminators. When applied to cleansed skin, this beauty treat offers the perfect amount of shimmer and light diffusing shine, while flecks of gold, peach and pink allow natural luminosity to shine through with a hint of flirtatious color.
This beauty breakthrough was rockin' the runways before we even knew of its existence! The NARS Illuminator was used to create the looks backstage at many of the Spring/Summer 2010 fashion shows, including 3.1 phillip lim, Marchesa and Thakoon.
Give yourself the ultimate orgasm with NARS new Orgasm Illuminator! This beauty buy is available at Sephora.
Have you tried the other items in the Orgasm franchise? What's your favorite?
