Review: Bella il Fiore Pedicure Set
What They Say: "Everything you need for do it yourself well-groomed toes is in this super-sassy gift box. Pedicure set includes Bella nail polish in babydoll, foxy and top/base coat and pink flower toe-separators."
Melissa's DeLush Downlow: I have to say, Bella definitely has their packaging DOWN. It's all so pretty and has such sweet details, you feel incredibly pampered just pulling out the products to use them. That aside, this little pedicure set has the basics all put together for you. Keep in mind, there are no tools in the kit, unless you consider the toe separators that is. You're really just looking at color and a base & top coat (which may not seem like much), but these are not only full-sized polishes, they are incredibly smooth, glossy formulas that suit your needs whether you want to go bold and bright (Foxy red) or neutral and pastel (Baby Doll barely-there pink). Then there's the clear formula, for base & top coats. Just make sure to let your color COMPLETELY dry before applying the top coat to ensure a smooth finish with no little bubbles.
Retail Price: $20.00 (bellabeauty.com)

Review: Bella il Fiore Pedicure Set:
Hi, I love your site and I have a question... I am a huge fan of Maybelline's Full N' Soft Mascara (the waterproof kind). Its staying power is great, but maybe a little TOO great; I have a LOT of trouble taking it off (with eye makeup remover, I might add). So, I was just wondering how you go about getting it off because I love this mascara so much, but I avoid wearing it because of the hassle in the end. Thanks!
