Twisted Silver: Diva Necklace, Beatnik Necklace Antiqued Silver, Serenity Earrings
Love at first wear! I am crazy about this line because it's fun, customizable, chic, retro, edgy and flirty all in one! The Diva necklace totally made me feel like a diva. The Beatnik necklace is super cool. Gives off an edgy vibe, yet you can balance it with something girly ...like I did in this video. The Serenity earrings rock. The movement in them definitely gets you noticed. All items get an A! And now through May 10th, you can get $20 off a $100 purchase with coupon code 'CLOSET'.

Dr. LeWinn's: Renunail Nail Strengthener, Renunail Nourishing Oil, Renunail Sensitive Nail Strengthener
I have always been a big fan of Dr. LeWinn's products. The skin care is fantastic! And the nail care definitely lives up to its reputation. Both the regular and sensitive formula nail strengtheners do an excellent job of protecting and strengthening nails. The sensitive formula has a great barely there pink color which I like. The nourishing oil contails soothing oils and herbal extracts to moisturize and nourish cuticles and nails. I could really see a difference with the length of my nails by using this oil. All of these fabulous products get an A!
kate spade: Hera heels
The color is what's so fantastic about these heels. I love hot pink and red together. This is a fun shoe that will take you many places. The satin fabric allows the transition from a girls night out to a formal event. The heel height is extremely manageable and they are pretty comfy to walk in. B+
James Jeans: Icon
I defied all the rules when I purchased a pair of jeans with pockets (read: I have booty). But these are James Jeans ... and I love James. It's incredibly difficult to find a pair of jeans that work for my body shape. Few and far between. I was surprised to find that the pockets didn't add to the mass. I wish they were flared versus boot cut. However, I love the color. I love that I could go down a size. And I love the white stitching (channeling Gloria Vanderbilt from the 80s). These get a B.

Tweezerman: Nail Rescue Kit
I tend to like the miniature size in tweezers and nail tools. This is not only easily portable, but easy and efficient to use! Great for both men and women. The kit contains a Cuticle Pusher which is great for pushing back cuticles and cleaning nails, a Cuticle and Hangnail Snipper that is angled and sharp (and fantastic!), and a metal Nail File. I am not crazy about metal nail files, but the kit, in general, is a winner. A
Hana: Elite Ceramic Flat Iron
Having been accustom to my CHI flat iron, I wasn't sure what to expect from the Hana. Let me tell you, it does a phenomenal job of straightening hair. Like all brand new flat irons, the first use is a little rough. After that, it glides through quite easily for a superior finish! I love the temperature control settings. And the packaging is above and beyond ... it comes in a tin case, plus a travel case and a mat to lay the flat iron on while it's on. Love my Hana - A! 
Jouer Cosmetics: Moisturizing lipgloss in Blush, eye shadows in Chestnut and Peach, and lipstick in Kiki
While this line has been around since 2004, I have just discovered how fantastic it is for the neutral face lover (i.e., Kelly). It doesn't get any better than this. Jouer intertwines beauty, style and modern convenience (the eyeshadows, blushes, lip glosses and mascara connect together to make a customized palette). You can even play with looks online. While the lipstick and lip gloss are a bit too light for me, they layer beautifully. The eyeshadows are matte and provide a natural look. B!
Ole Henriksen: Pure perfection night creme
I was really excited to try this night creme. It contains glycolic acid to repair and refine wrinkles, Vitamin C and beta carotene to protect skin from free radical damage caused by sunlight, beta glucan for wound healing, and many more great ingredients. Unfortunately, I found it to be a bit heavy for me, sitting on top of my skin. This happens to be a bestseller for Ole Henriksen, so if you are like my mother and prefer a heavier creme, this one's for you. B-
Kat Burki: Tuberose soap, Lavender Lightly Hydrator, Freesia + Pink Grapefruit Hydrator
This Tuberose soap is incredibly fragrant and so inviting. It makes my whole bathroom smell delightful! It lathers nicely and softens skin. Love it - an A! The lotions are really nice, as well, and hydrate effectively. The scents are lighter than the soap. I give them a B!
Soma Intimates: Vanishing edge panties
These panties do exactly what they say. And they stay put! However, I find that you have to go up a size to keep things covered! B+
Argan Oils: Face & Body Serum I was skeptical about putting this on my face, being an oil. However, it was extremely hydrating and made my skin fresh and glowy! It soaks in quickly and didn't leave my face feeling or looking like a greasy teenager's. It had no scent and you need only a small amount to get the benefit. For 4 weeks, I definitely saw an improvement in hydration. For the face, I loved it - an A!
For the body, I used a squirt or two in my usual lotion for a moisture boost, and boy did it work well. My skin had been on the itchy side, and this cured that up quickly! Another A.
For hair, unfortunately, I found that it really weighed it down and gave it a greasy appearance. Not so good there - D. But 2 out of 3 As is excellent.
