Shu Uemura Depsea Water and Travalo


 












On the left is the Shu Uemura Depsea Water and to the right, the little pink atomizer is the Travalo. You can get the Shu Uemura water from Sasa.com, for approximately $22. The Travalo, I got from CVS for $10.

So what is "Depsea Water"? I'm pretty sure they mean "deep sea water". It comes in a variety of fragrances (rosemary, mint, etc) but I got the non-fragranced for fear of a bad reaction. I mean, this is sprayed directly on my face, after all. I got it for the Summer because you can easily spritz some of the solution on yourself to get instant hydration and refreshment, hence the travel-sized Travalo. You also have the option of spritzing some on your face prior to applying foundation, just to give yourself the extra skin-quenching umph.

Have to tell you, I was a little disappointed. I didn't experience any hydration, no matter how many spritzes I used. It was pretty much water on my face, nothing special. Definitely refreshing though; I was thinking about putting it on my fridge and spraying it here and there on those hot days. Haven't done it yet because Fall's already rolling in!

I think the price is pretty high for what it is... maybe it's more worth it if I'd purchased a fragranced one, but for now, I could've put some tap water in my travalo and achieved the same effect that this $22+shipping thing does. For instance, rosemary is supposedly good for the hair, so if I spritzed some Rosemary-Depsea Water onto my hair (which is also sold on Sasa.com), maybe it'll be worth it. I do however have the stinking feeling that I could just put some rosemary in some tap water in a spray bottle and get the same thing....

Love the Travalo though; easy fill, fine mist, and very convenient. Might go back for seconds! They also have a variety of colors.

Turquioise and Caicos


Okay, so it may be towards the end of summer... but so what? This nail polish is gorgeous! I just had to share it. The name of the item couldn't be bullseye enough--turquoise. 

I got this at Ulta for about 8 dollars. Keep a look out though! Sometimes Ulta will do a buy two, get one free sale (or was it a buy two, get one half off? Cheaper is cheaper either way!)

Now, I have to admit that I don't typically like Essie polishes as much as, let's say, OPI. Essie tends to be more liquidy, which means you need more coats to achieve full coverage (I used about 2-3 coats). The upside to that though is that runnier coats provide for more even coverage, since it isn't so thick that it dries as an uneven lump on your nail. Plus, Essie has an amazing range of colors! They must have over fifty shades of pink alone!

Pop on a layer of Seche-vite's quick dying top coat and you're good to go.
