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.

NEW! Sally Hansen Color Quick Fast Dry Nail Color Pen

What They Say:

New fast dry nail color formula packaged in an easy-to-use, take anywhere spill-proof pen!
Just click to dispense color, brush on and go!
Handy application makes it easy to use anytime, anywhere.
Great for pedicures, too!
Available in 8 beautiful shades.
No DBP, Toluene or Free Formaldehyde.

Melissa Says: I absolutely love the concept of this applicator. It does dispense easily (after the initial many pumps you need to get the polish going to the brush) and it spreads the formula smoothly. The entire process is very fast and handy, from the application to the quick drying time. My biggest complaint? (and it's a big one, so I'm taking off two lips) The color chips far too easily on the nail tips. A couple of coats might help with this, but you really need to take the time to apply a topcoat to really make this a perfect time-saver.

So, while I applaud the innovation of this product, I'm not completely on board to suggest that you all go purchase it immediately. However, you may want to give it a try. Hey, if Sally Hansen decides to get one of their great quick-dry topcoats into one of these pens, I'll be all over that!

Retail Price: $7.99 (at drugstores everywhere)
