Eyecolor: Hazel

Age: 31

Skin Tone: Medium fair with yellow undertones

Skin Type: Combination with somewhat oily t-zone and dry areas around the nose and chin which I need to be ever-vigilant about exfoliating (or the blackheads appear). I also have stubborn undereye darkness that definitely requires concealer.

DeLush Hotpoint Review: NEW L'Oreal Pro Manicure Nail Polish

What They Say: "L'Oreal Manicure Pro is a salon quality nail enamel with a special brush that delivers flawless results. Formaldehyde-free. Toluene-Free."

Melissa's Hotpoints:

The square brush they emphasize on displays and packaging doesn't seem to do much except create little lines in your polish if you don't apply just the right amount of pressure.
The formula is very thick, and starts to get sticky right away. This can be a problem when you have to brush over a spot again before moving on.
Concentrated color gives quick coverage results.
Durability is impressive.
The shine isn't dazzling, but doesn't disappoint.
You can find an easier-to-apply polish, but the price and results here might be more appealing to you than some other options.

Retail Price: $4.99 (at drugstores and superstores everywhere, and online at ulta.com)
