Here we are at the end of our on-going Spring Color Picks feature. So have you added any of the suggestions like Coral, Turquoise, Tuscany, Violet or Tomato Puree to your makeup routine? Here are some more recs for Tomato and Turq. What’s great about turquoise is that sometimes it’s on the green side and sometimes more on the blue side. The two nail polishes here really depict that.

From L to R clockwise:

MAYBELLINE NEW YORK Color Sensational Lipstick in #635 Very Cherry ($7.49 @ drugstore.com)
GIVENCHY Phenomen’Eyes Waterproof Mascara in Water Turquoise ($29 @ sephora.com)
ESSIE Nail Polish in Turquoise & Caicos ($8 essie.com)
SULA BEAUTY Paint and Peel Nail in Haze ($9 @ sulabeauty.com)
CHINA GLAZE Nail Lacquer in Italian Red ($6.50 @ salons nationwide)
LUSH Ickle Baby Bot Bath Bomb ($3.95/2.1oz @ lush.com)

JOSIE MARAN Eye Shadow in Bali ($20 @ sephora.com)
DAVINES Wizard No 9 Structuring Mist ($26/8.45oz @ folica.com)
L’OREAL Infallible Plumping Lip Gloss in Plumped Red ($9.99 @ drugstore.com)

How about getting your hands, knees, cuticles and other body parts on a product where the first ingredient listed is butyrospermym parkii aka Shea Butter! It doesn’t happen often but with SULA BEAUTY’s Organic Shea Butter Balm ($9/20 grams @ sulabeauty.com), that’s what you’re getting, as well as sunflower oil, beeswax, jojoba oil and sweet orange oil. That’s it! So tame your eye brows, bring your toenails back from a long bout with nail polish with this one. Available in Bergamot, Neroli Blossom and Rosa Damascena. Big recommendation!

The tag line is “Peeling is Habit Forming” and I have to agree. SULA’s 'Paint & Peel' Nail Polishes ($10 @ sulabeauty.com) are quite habit forming and also quite a breakthrough. If you have been a reader of Cybelesays for a long time then you’ve heard of the founder of this line, Ms. Susanne Lang. We’ve written about quite a few of her fragrances over the years and wow, what a 180 degree turn this is, and I love the new direction. These line of polishes are completely non-toxic and water-based and don’t require a nail polish remover to get it off. Amazing! Just peel it off when you’re ready for a new shade. I’m kind of a picker by nature so these are not the best option for me unless I feel like painting my nails at the end of every day. No thanks. But it you can let your nails be, then I would give these a try.

Are you a Mom with young girls who are into nail polish? No bad chemicals to worry about with these! 

Color picks: Dove and Modern Mauve.

A new fragrance group is upon us from Canadian favorites Susanne Lang Parfumerie. The collection goes by SULA PERFUME and is all about playering, as in layering and playing with the scents. How fun! I've always been kinda nervous about layering any fragrances together for fear of coming out smelling like a department store. While each scent is sold in a 1oz form, they also pair them up to make decision time easy. My pick of the litter is the Butterfly Kiss + Lily Lotus layered set, Girl Next Door ($30/.5oz each @ ulta.com). Butterfly is airy freesia, heliotrope and jasmine and Lily is purple lilac, lily, lotus, a touch of mint and a base of skin musk. Together they make a full sexy bouquet!
And since it is so affordable, there's no reason not to try one or two of the six scents, preferably at the same time. Don’t you deserve a mental break today? Create it with Sula.
