I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

- "Bed of Roses" by Bon Jovi

It's basically impossible for me to look at the Deborah Lippmann Bed of Roses nail polish set without immediately thinking of the Bon Jovi song. But, even more than that, it was impossible for me to look at this collection and not immediately want to create an ombre manicure. So, I did just that!

There are many reasons why I love the Nails Inc. Autumn Winter Collection.


1) The collection includes six gorgeous nail polishes in a variety of finishes -- glitter, shimmer and creme. So there's something for everyone's taste!
2) The nail polishes are in a cute mini size, which is convenient since I NEVER finish nail polish in regular-sized bottles.
3) Nails Inc. just creates the most amazing colors. Plus, I love that every polish name is taken from a street in London -- just so clever.

Curious about the six nail polishes in this gift set? They are:

Sloane Gardens (deep navy glitter)
Chester Street (pearlescent nude)
Bruton Mews (deep forest green creme)
Richmond Terrace (rich glossy plum creme)
Jermyn Street (classic taupe creme)
Chelsea Bridge Road (a rich tomato red creme)

I'm sure you'll love the polishes in this gift set just as much as I do. But here's the biggest reason you're going to love the Autumn Winter Collection ... one winner has the chance to win this set, with a retail value of $25! To enter, use the Rafflecopter widget below. Good luck!

12 Days of Christmas Giveaway: Neutrogena Holiday Survival Kit

Post a comment!

Over the next 12 days, I'm partnering with Neutrogena to offer my readers the chance to win some pretty fabulous products -- both from Neutrogena and some of my other favorite fashion and beauty brands! Check back every day for your chance to win another amazing prize.


Getting through the holidays with your skin intact can be pretty difficult. We're all eating tons of cookies and candy, not working out as much as we should, and probably imbibing alcohol a little more than we should. Luckily, the Neutrogena Holiday Survival Kit is here to help. And today, one lucky winner is going to win the entire kit! You can win the following products:

Healthy Volume Mascara
Healthy Skin Primer Broad Spectrum SPF 15
On-the-Spot Acne Treatment
Shine Control Powder
Pink Grapefruit Oil-Free Cleansing Wipes
Oil Free Moisturizer SPF 35
Plus a $25 American Express Gift Card!

And if you're looking for a professional's opinion? Renowned dermatologist and skincare expert, Dr. Erin Gilbert, has this to say about the cleansing wipes: “Holiday stress always raises our cortisol (or “stress hormone”) levels. We often neglect our usual skincare routines during this busy time and indulge in high-glycemic index foods which can increase stress-related skin breakouts. Keeping your skin clean is key. If you are strapped for time and acne-prone try Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Oil-Free Cleansing Wipes. They remove makeup and daily build up and won’t aggravate acne-prone skin.”

All of these products will make your skin look and feel its absolute best over the next few weeks. This giveaway has a retail value of $82. Here's how to enter.

Note: PLEASE ONLY LEAVE ONE COMMENT! Do not leave additional comments about Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest entries or mention them in your one comment -- those are counted separately and you do not need to mention them here. Thanks!

The Julep Maven Box Program: Review And Giveaway!

Post a comment!

I think it's fairly obvious by now that I'm obsessed with nail polish. I paint my nails at least once a week (usually it's more like two or three times) and I'm always looking for new brands and colors to try out. That's where the Julep Maven program comes in.


This program is pretty ingenious -- and here's how it works. You go to julep.com and take the style quiz -- a quick, easy and completely free quiz that helps Julep figure out which colors will work specifically for you. This happens thanks to one of the five style profiles:

American Beauty
Boho Glam
Bombshell
Classic With A Twist
It Girl

After you figure out which profile fits you the best, your first Julep Maven Box will contain at least two nail polishes and other beauty favorites that are chosen just for you! Julep sends you an email on the 20th of every month previewing your upcoming box. If you love what they choose, do nothing -- and they'll ship it. Or you have the options of trying a different style, sending your box to a friend or skipping the month altogether (and the bill, of course). Tons of nail polish and products geared directly toward you every month -- what could be better, right?

I took the style profile and discovered that I'm Boho Glam. My intro box contained the following three products:

The Best Pedi Creme Ever: a foot cream that's formulated with shea butter, coconut oil and Vitamin E. It smells fantastic and makes your feet feel super soft!

Sasha: A beautiful peachy orange nail polish that applied like a dream and was completely creamy and opaque in two coats. And totally glossy without top coat!

Toni: Oh my gosh. It's only my new favorite color. Depending on the light, it might be chocolate, it might be lavender, it might be taupe, it might be violet ... you get the idea. In any light, it's gorgeous -- and it's seen here with only one coat! (Side note: My drama teacher in junior high was named Toni, and she was just the coolest person EVER.)

Interested in becoming a Julep Maven yourself? It's easy! Sign up here. You can even receive a discounted introductory box with the code THEBEAUTYOFLIFE. What are you waiting for?

And here's the best part. I'm offering a giveaway to one lucky reader! You'll have the chance to win an intro box of your very own. Just fill out the box below (all of the rules are within the box, too). Be sure to take the style quiz so you can find out what your style profile is and tell me what box you want if you win! Good luck!

Somebody's got a crazy sense of humor, bringing out the Ho, Ho, Ho and Ha, Ha, Ha. Soap and Glory's You Cube adds that touch of joy and hilarity in its packaging and naming rights. Instead of staid beauty products, a set of fun-filled items pops from the pink-slogan inscribed box with the metallic top. "Without Soap & Glory, why wash?" That's what the hilarious website claims!

Try the Clean on Me (Lean on Me?) shower gel with the enclosed fluffy puff for a lather of fresh scent. Proceed to The Righteous Butter (Righteous Brothers?) body butter and Hand Food hand cream. All delectable and moisturizing!

For yet another play on words, Soap and Glory declares that it has been supporting the Clean of England since 2006. Marcia Kilgore launched the company and soon after opened the Bliss Spa. The Righteous Butter included in this set ranks as England's best body butter with votes to prove it.

Include the Soap & Glory You Cube in your holiday purchases for instant smiles. It retails for $25 at sephora.com.

I love a good rollerball. In fact, I've collected quite a few over the years. They're perfect for travel, I'm horrible at using up perfume bottles, and they're great for experiencing lots of fragrances in small doses. So is it any wonder that I'm, well, obsessed with the Fresh Sugar Obsessions Rollerball Trio?

This collection of three Fresh rollerball fragrances takes my love of Fresh to new heights. Rollerballs in Brown Sugar (citrus and caramel), Sugar Lychee (sparkling fruits and exotic florals) and Sugar Lemon (citrus and fruity florals) all bring something different to the table.

I love every Fresh Sugar scent, so it's honestly hard for me to pick a favorite! I think each one speaks to a different personality and different mood, so the set is perfect for the girl who likes fragrance choices.

Unfortunately, this product is no longer available.

Front Row Collection, Nails Inc. gift set, gift setIf you're looking to give your nails a large dose of holiday cheer, the Nails Inc. Front Row Collection is a must-have this season. This set of four mini nail polishes packs a major sparkly whollop -- and each of the four colors fits a different nail color need.

I actually love that each of the polishes is miniature-sized. I have the hardest time using up a bottle of polish, so the adorable, useful minuteness of these bottles is not lost on me.

St. Pauls is a dark purple sparkle. I found this to be the most difficult to apply out of the four, but with two coats it gives good coverage and makes a dramatic statement.

Gloucester Place is pretty much your typical holiday red. I think it's a lot like China Glaze Ruby Pumps, though I give the edge to that one since it's one of my favorite colors of all time. But this is a really pretty candy apple red that is perfect for December.
