After leaving the pack on for 10-20 minutes (depending on how dry your cuticles are), you simply take off the finger thingies and rub in the rest of the product, just like you would do with a face mask. I didn't take a before picture, but my nail beds had white spots, my cuticles were dry and flaky, and even the skin on the sides of the nails were flaking. I was really surprised when I took off the finger thingies to see how hydrated my fingers actually were.

It was basically a no-car kind of a place in the main part of town. Across of our hotel (on the left in that picture) was a bar, and there were some retail shops, but nothing much else going on. But we did not care, because we thought it was the best place ever. Our room was on the corner and overlooked the street below, and the mountains in the distance. I can still feel the cool air as I type this! 

I learned some things that day. Jeans and Vans are not appropriate for snow. I saw some kids putting zip lock bags on their feet over their socks! Ingenious, I'll admit. But yes my feet were wet and freezing, but I didn't care!

When we went back down the mountain, there was some sort of festival going on. These guys passed by with huge cow bells!

Like I mentioned in my Wonder Honey review, I have really dry hands. I'm constantly moisturizing them. So when I saw this hand cream, I had to have it. It's so. Freaking. Adorable. It's in the shape of a peach, and is about the size of a peach as well. I ordered it from Jolse.com for about $6.00 on sale, and it is around $7.00 full-price, which isn't bad at all. You can also order it from Sephora (along with some other Tonymoly products), but they sell it online for a whopping $12.00! It must be really popular, though, because it is currently sold out. 

Here's what is said about the product:

A nourishing and moisturizing peach-scented hand cream containing real peach extracts, adenosine, and shea butter to reveal soft, smooth skin. 

What it does: 

This luxurious cream features a custard-like formula that absorbs quickly while treating dry, rough hands and cuticles. The shea butter intensively moisturizes hands, while real peach extract and adenosine provide antioxidants and support natural elasticity. The lotion is aromatic with a deliciously fresh peach scent.

As for the moisture itself, I find that it is slightly more moisturizing than regular Bath and Bodyworks cream, which is what I have been using. I still feel the moisture when I wake up in the morning, which is important. I would like to order another one to keep at my desk at work, since its freezing at my workplace and my hands get really dry there as well. 

Let's talk about the Pros:

Cons:

Yes, it is adorable, but it's kind of a weird, bulky thing to put in your purse. However, it does it's job, and it smells great. I'm totally addicted.

I have dry skin. Really dry skin. My legs get itchy, my hands are constantly dry. I have no idea why, but anyway, I moisturize every night before bed, and I moisturize my hands throughout the day. I have many body creams from Bath and Body Works, and while they smell fabulous, I find that the moisture doesn't carry over to the next day. I wanted something that was going to last, so I didn't have to keep applying lotion.

I saw the TonyMoly Wonder Honey Moisture Cream on Jolse.com and figured I would give it a try. I looked at the review on their official blog, and took into consideration what it said: good moisture, but slightly sticky, but the stickiness went away. I decided to give it a try. It was on sale when I got it, so I ended up paying $12.00. Normally, it's around $15.00. Still not a bad price, considering I pay $13.00 for a bottle of body cream from Bath and Body Works.

Here's what is said about the product: 

"This is a deep moisturizing cream with cherry blossoms and nourishing ingredients to replenish moisture and leave skin relaxed. Double functional of creamy moisturizer for night and honey sleeping pack for night. All-in-one multi-cream for face and body."

Of course the most important ingredient in this product is the honey itself, which comes from "Prunus Serrulata," or cherry blossoms. The moisturizer also contains royal jelly extract, baobab seed extract, cocoa seed extract, and flax seed oil. Honey itself has many healing properties. I thought the addition of baobab was interesting, as it's not something that I commonly see in products. After doing a little research, I found that it contains a lot of vitamin C which supports collagen formation and has tons of antioxidants that help repair damage. 

When I opened the product, I was surprised to see that it didn't look like a conventional moisturizer. It really did look like honey. It looked viscous, a little transparent, and kind of like jelly. It also jiggles like jelly, and when you tilt the bottle, it flows slowly. 

It smelled just like honey. The smell is very mild, and is really nice. I opted to put it on my legs before bed, which is my usual routine. When I scooped up some of the product, it didn't cling to my finger like a thicker lotion does. Again, it was a lot like honey. It kind of dripped a bit off of my finger. I realized quickly that I didn't need a lot of product, and it went on very smooth. 

I found that when it was on my legs, it gave it a nice, healthy glow, which I hope you can see in the picture below. 

The first thing I noticed after putting on this product was that it was sticky. Really sticky. It felt sticky on my legs, and it was extremely sticky on my hands. I couldn't stand it, so I washed it off of my hands. On my legs, the stickiness eventually went away, but it drove me crazy until it did. I'd say it took a good 15 - 20 minutes to go away, and even then, it doesn't go away entirely. However, the next day, my legs were really, really nicely moisturized. And throughout the day, they stayed moisturized. I was very impressed, and that alone was enough for me to suck it up and deal with the stickiness. I haven't yet used this on my face, and I honestly don't think that I will, because I do not like the stickiness. And I know that if I put this on with other products on my face, it will remain sticky. 

So let's talk about the pros: 

Cons: 

So as you can see, my only gripe is the stickiness. I still can't get over the feeling on my hands, so I always wash the moisturizer off. But other than that, I don't have any complaints. It's a really nice moisturizer, it's shockingly long lasting, and it's a great value. Give it a try if you have horribly dry skin like I do! 

I'm still in love with the color that I used on my last nails, so I decided to do it again this week. I didn't want to spend much time on my nails, since I spent hours on them last week, so I opted to try these nail tattoos that I got from Claire's. They're a bunch of gold, silver, and white metallic tattoos that can be used on the nails as well as the skin.

The directions said to hold it against the nail for 20-30 seconds, but I found that it wasn't working well, so I treated it like a normal temporary tattoo and wet it, which worked much better. I also did the same thing on my skin, just to see if it would work, which it did. So, in case I feel like wearing shiny metallic tattoos, I totally can. #goals

Anyway, I put three tattoos on three of my nails on each hand. I accidentally put one on my pinky, when I meant to put it on my ring finger, but I just went with it because it's not a huge deal. In fact, I kinda like that whole reverse-accent finger look.
