Dior Creme Abricot Review


In my search for cuticle oil and moisturizers last week I ran across a number of reviews for Dior Creme Abricot. Every single review I read was extremely positive and most reviewers stated that they had used the product for 20+ years. To my delight I found that this product was only $25. Normally I would not spend this kind of money on any product but all the reviews stated that the creme is extremely concentrated and lasts forever. 

I am really optimistic about this product. Not only do I feel super fancy carrying around this little pot with the Dior logo on it but it is very thick and really seams to do the trick moisturizing my very dry nails and cuticles.

The instructions recommend using this cream at night to allow it to soak in. In reality it's best to use this cream at night because it is super sticky! Because I typically surf the web on my iPad while laying in bed, and didn't like the idea of a greasy, sticky iPad I'm actually going to be keeping this at my desk at work. 

This cream is very, very concentrated (It reminds me of Amera's Cuticle Mousse) so just a small, SMALL, dab on each cuticle is more than enough. The creme completely absorbed into my skin and nails within about 10 minutes but my cuticles remained soft. I think this is going to be my new favorite!

Pictures to come...

Julep Nail Polish

Julep's Website Hands down my favorite nail polish right now is Julep. I don't know how they do it but their formula is to die for. For many of their polishes I'm able to achieve full coverage with one coat and a perfectly smooth finish with a second coat. Add their Polymer Top Coat to that and you have nail perfection! I'm what I consider cheap when it comes to nail polish so I just can't justify spending $14 per bottle. Especially now as I am still growing my collection and am wanting to try everything. I did however subscribe to their monthly subscription service which, according to their website, gives you $40 worth of Julep products every month for only $19.99.  Every month Julep allows you to preview each of their boxes and choose which one you would like to receive. You can skip if you don't see anything you like. As a Julep Maven you also receive access to their "Secret Shop" which offers products only available to Mavens and...

Forever 21 Mint Chip

This is another attempt to duplicate a Deborah Lippmann polish that I fell in love with. Forever 21's polish is affordable at only $2.80. It took three coats to completely cover my nails which isn't great but I love the finish, and for under $3.00 this polish is totally worth it.

China Glaze Splish Splash

So my last two neon polishes (Salon Perfect's Loopy Lime and China Glaze's Love's a Beach) provided amazing results after much fuss. I was NOT impressed with either formula. They were both too finicky for me. Splish Splash from China Glaze's Summer Neon Collection is worlds apart! I could tell, after just the first coat, that this was a polish I was going to be happier with. First, this polish is not streaky and self levels!! YAY! Second, the brush didn't "clump up" like the other polishes. And third, I was able to achieve full coverage in just two coats. I wouldn't necessarily consider this to be a neon polish but it is beautiful. It is a true blue polish with a lighter blue shimmer and dries to a satin finish.
