Bari Beauty – Pure Ice in Risk Taker and Beware Swatches
This is the beginning of my @BariBeauty series of nail polish swatches! Below are pictures of two polishes from their Pure Ice Collection.
Pure Ice in Risk Taker – two coats
Pure Ice in Beware – two coats on top of Risk Taker
I love both of these colors. I actually think Risk Taker is going to be one of my new go-to colors. Both polishes dried quickly and went on very smooth. What I really liked about Beware is that it was smooth to the touch after dried. Lots of glitter polishes leave your nail feeling rough and gritty but this one doesn’t! I don’t think I’ve ever worn a color anything like Risk Taker. It’s like a shimmery charcoal color which I don’t think I’ve really seen before. The closest color I’ve ever owned to it would maybe be Revlon’s Silver Screen, but even the Revlon one wasn’t as dark/slightly brownish.
I’ve got lots more nail polish swatches coming up from Bari Cosmetics so stay tuned š If you’d like to purchase they’re products, check out their website or connect with them on Twitter!

Hilary Park Jewelry
Stepping into Hilary Park’s jewelry store is like stepping into an enchanted cottage–in the middle of Williamsburg, Brooklyn!Ā Your eyes automatically drift towards the jewelry case in the middle of the store, which contains gorgeous, handmade jewelry in sterling silver and gold, adorned with semi-precious and precious stones.
All of the pieces are handmade by Hilary Park, an exacting artist, with a meticulous attention to detail. Many of the pieces are astrology-inspired.
At Hilary Park’s grand opening, guests sipped zodiac element-inspired cocktails and received detailed readings from an astrologist.
A glimpse into the jewelry case.




I loved these!! (Actually, I loved everything!)


I got to take home one of Hilary’s handmade pendants. Ā I couldn’t have been happier. Ā Thanks Hilary!
The handmade, sterling silver pendant’sĀ centerpieceĀ is a citrine stone, which brings clearness and focus to the wearer.

Event LOVE: @KayTranEyewear Launch
Last week, a number of us gathered at Pink Eye Optical on Queen street west, to celebrate the launch of the KayTran Eyewear Collection. We laughed, ate, drank wine and it’s safe to say that I tried on every single pair of the glasses that were on display. I loved all the different styles, and I especially loved the fit! You don’t realize how uncomfortable your regular glasses or sunglasses are, until you try on a pair of KayTran glasses.
Rocking a pair of KayTran glasses š
LOOOOOVE these!
“Reduced lens + frame curvature prevent the edges of the frame from rubbing and resting against your cheekbones.”
“A narrowed bridge + elevated nose pads allow the frame to rest comfortably on your noseĀ withoutĀ the slipping and sliding.”
Hawley always looks so FLY!
Fun times with Septembre! Loving the “KayTran Fit!”
Oh my gawwwd!
“Widened temple angles open the space between the frame and your face, preventing marks and indents from forming on your cheeks.”
Jen’s shoes… so cute!
The lady of the hour!! Congratulations on an amazing collection Kathy š
Congratulations to Kathy and her team on a successful launch, and an awesome collection! I have to find a way to get my hands on one, two… maybe three pairs of KayTran glasses!
peace and love
