Pure Romance - Not Just for Erotic Needs

Pure Romance is one of my all time favorite places to buy bath products from. Many of you may not know what Pure Romance is or if you do, you may have a negative opinion of it as so many outside of the Pure Romance group do. Pure Romance was started in 1993 by Patty Brisben. It's won several awards for the quality of its products and for being one of the top companies in the country run completely by a woman. It runs off the same principal as Forever 21, Mary-Kay Cosmetics and such. Each consultant for the company has parties, generally 2-3 a month, where potential buyers are invited to show up, socialize, view products, and make purchases.

For those of you who do know about this company, it is not only for adult toys. The company has some decent beauty products to buy and I normally stock up every time I go to a party. My all time must have from the company? Glow Green Tea Shimmering Body Silk.

This lotion has an amazing smell and the greatest part about it is that it lasts all day. I put this or the Kiss Green Tea Body Splash on in the morning and regardless of what I do throughout the day, the fragrance does not leave. The other side affect is that it leaves my skin feeling extra soft.

The second product that is a must have is called Coochy Shave Lotion. I don't know about any of you, but before I started using this product, every time I shaved I would have red bumps appear on my legs from razor burn. Since using this product, I have not had that problem. It is also supposed to solve the problem of bumps on your underarms and bikini line after shaving. 

If you are looking for adult toys, Pure Romance does offer a wide selection of them including their new "Grey Collection" with items inspired by the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy. Not only are there adult toys, but there are also plenty of body oils and lubricants to choose from. For those of you who have allergies, Pure Romance boasts that all of its products are made for use by those with any allergy. 

There is a little drawback to the Pure Romance brand. You must be 18 or older to view their online shop or attend a party. For younger customers, you can always have a parent or sibling purchase the items for you - though I do recommend sticking with the beauty products!

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri: Yes or No?

I recently bought the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri nail polish. If you're anything like me, you paint your nails every other day just about and always in a different color. I couldn't pass up this particular brand while at the store - huge displays were out in the middle aisles. It was only $4 and I was in desperate need of a bottle of yellow polish. I've had luck with other Sally Hansen products in the past, so I thought why not?

When I got home, I tried the polish out and needless to say, I was not impressed. At first, I only put one coat on my nails. The bottle advised only one coat; however, the polish was spotty and I could still see my natural nail color showing through. I put a second coat on only to have that coat bubble up. 

I then bought a super cheap bottle of Unzip Me by Pure Ice (for those of you who do not know of this brand, it's a fairly good sized bottle for $1.97). I painted my nails using the Pure Ice as a base coat before putting one coat of the Insta-Dri over them. This time it didn't bubble and it looks more like what was advertised. 

Overall, I do not recommend this brand. While only $4, there are plenty of brands out there that are cheaper, if you're on a budget, and work far better. The only thing this brand has going for it is that it dries within a minute or two. Other than that, it is a complete and utter waste of money that will leave your nails looking less than stellar.
