Meilily Product Review: Julep Glow in the Dark Nail Polish – Nicola! Does it really glow?

Whether it’s that time of year when the sky glows orange, leaves fall, and we plan elaborate costumes, or whether it’s just time for a fun club night, nothing catches our attention like stuff that glows in the dark.  Glow sticks, glow paint, and now glow in the dark nail polish!

Meilily tested out a hot new glow-in-the-dark nail polish by Julep, a beauty company that specializes in delighting subscribers, or Mavens, with monthly 5-free and vegan nail treats.

Check out these photos and swatches for the lo-down on Julep’s Nicola glow in the dark nail polish!

Sephora + Pantone Color IQ: Foundation Matching Made Easier

Wednesday, October 31st, 2012 | Beauty and Science, Collaborations, Hot Happenings, Makeup | Comments Off on Sephora + Pantone Color IQ: Foundation Matching Made Easier

Meilily Beauty & Technology: Sephora + Pantone Color IQ Foundation Matching System Tested

Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to a new era in foundation shopping!  Finally recognizing the plight of the modern multicultural foundation shopper, Sephora & Pantone have developed an innovative new system of foundation matching.

The new Sephora + Pantone Color IQ system digitally scans the skin using a handheld imaging device, determines the Pantone color that most closely matches your skin color from a range of 110 skin tone shades, and searches an extensive product database to retrieve the best foundation shade matches.

The Color IQ handheld digital scanner is actually used to take images of the skin at three different areas – forehead, neck, and chest – to calculate the closest Pantone shade match. › Continue reading

Sephora Gift with Purchase: Hello Kitty Sephora Originals Bag & Samples

Sunday, January 15th, 2012 | Collaborations, Free Stuff, Photos | 4 Comments

Meilily Free Stuff Alert & Photos: Hello Kitty Sephora Cosmetics Bag with Samples!

As one of their limited time offers, Sephora.com has been giving away gift with purchase bags with $25 orders, including a great little Hello Kitty Cosmetics Bag full of nice samples. From among three Sephora gift bag options, this clear Hello Kitty bag was my pick, because it’s Hello Kitty done right (and makes a great travel bag).

Unlike the traditional uber-pink Hello Kitty products that we girls used to adore as pre-adolescents, this Hello Kitty Sephora Originals bag seems designed for Hello Kitty girls who have grown up (and gotten jobs). Though this clear Hello Kitty cosmetics bag has a few touches of pale pink, it mostly features a subtle silver Hello Kitty print that will make you look twice.

The Nars Danmari Palette is a gorgeous limited edition set of six NARS Cosmetics blushes and bronzers.  This kabuki-inspired cheek palette is just in time for the holidays and currently exclusive to Sephora.  Great gift!

Nars Danmari Blush & Bronzer Palette Shades:
– Orgasm Blush: Peach pink with gold shimmer – A cult favorite!

The Nars Danmari Palette is a great gift idea for anyone who loves makeup!!!  Overall, this is a well-curated blush and bronzer set- perfect for the single gal… or any gal in fact.
