I must say, this was a great pick considering I have been suffering from one nasty sunburn. Usually, I have to go braless with sunburns because of...you know...the mind numbing pain. So I did indeed go wild and free for a couple days (plus my little tube top from high school, didn't want to freak my family out too much.) A full bottle of aloe later, I managed to ease this leisure/sleep bra on. Plus, I really needed to start wearing something; my ladies were hurting and I swear they were closer to my belly button already. So on it went and on it's stayed.

So far, I've been majorly impressed with the fabric of the bras I've gotten, and this is no exception. It's a cotton-spandex blend (mostly cotton) so it was nice to have something uber soft against my burns. The little bit of spandex added a nice stretch factor so it was tight against my skin or my chest, but still secure and snug, and didn't stay stretched.

This particular style was a back closure. It was ok as far as closures go, but I kinda wished it was just a pull over your head thing, I seem to prefer those in non molded cup bras. It wasn't uncomfortable laying down or sleeping, so I guess I don't technically have any complaints there.

OnSugar blogger LesleyKat has been trying to make the best of the hot weather by testing some fun new products. "Lip stains are super hot for summer," she writes, "since they deliver color with minimal effort and don't melt under sunlight. I recently picked up a few New York Color Smooch Proof 16-Hour lip stains from the drugstore. Do they stack up?" To find out what the answer to her question was, just keep reading.

Though most people are afflicted by acne during puberty, a lucky few of us get to deal with it well into adulthood. The only thing worse than acne, however, may be acne scars. While there are several skin-lightening and hyperpigmentation products on the market, there are three standouts that provide some serious fade action. See which treatments help fade scars best when you keep reading.

I love MAC's beautiful mineralized shadows and blushes. But because of the way they're packaged, it's nearly impossible to tell what they actually look like on your face. The brand's new Semi Precious collection doesn't hit counters until next week, but I've previewed a pretty look that I think uses the best colors of the collection. See the photo and breakdown after the jump.

We've reported on the launch of the latest Tokidoki venture — these adorable roller-ball perfumes ($18 each). And now, I've actually gotten my mitts on them to give a full review. I have Adios, Siberia, Donutella, and SANDy on my desk right now, in fact. So what's the verdict on your favorite characters' new signature scents? To find out, just keep reading.

Usually, I wear nail polish in part because having pretty, polished fingers makes me less likely to nibble at my digits. I just tried the Mattese Elite Happy Hour collection ($6 each) of scented nail polishes, however, and now I'm having a hard time not ravaging my fingertips.

The colors aren't anything crazy — they're bright, summery, and easy to wear. It's the scents, which actually do last long after the polish is dry, that are driving me insane. Shirley Temple, the bubblegum pink shade, smells like tutti-frutti with a hint of Yipes Stripes gum in it, and the magenta shade, Cosmopolitan, smells like pink Shock Tarts. My mouth literally starts watering every time I get them near my face.

It's a cool idea, and they certainly do work (and smell very tempting, if not exactly natural). But for a former big-time biter like me, it's enough to throw me off the wagon. I like these, but for my own safety I think I'll only be wearing them occasionally. Plus, they don't really taste like their scents, so it's eternally frustrating.

Lots of moms like to think out loud, and CWTMommy is one of them. She is on a mission to find the best nursing bra on the market. Here's one of her latest reviews from her My Experiment With Nursing Bras blog.

So I went to the mall Friday afternoon to JC Penny. After looking online at the Leading Lady nursing bra products, I knew which one I wanted to try first. On the website, the Lace-Cup Wirefree Nursing Bra was listed as being sold at JC Penny.  So I called up the store and made sure they had my size before going all that way. So I went and bought it and brought it home for its test run.

First of all, this thing is cute. It has a nude background with an all over black lace overlay; talk about feeling feminine!

So this particular style is a wire free cup with the clasps on the straps. It took a couple tries to get the hang of unclasping one handed, but it became easy and automatic. (I hate those bras where it's like a Rubix cube to get the clasp done and undone, requiring both hands, and not something you can discreetly do in public if you need to.) Therefore, the ease of access was a 9/10.

Comfort was an 8/10 for me on this one. I was able to wear it during the day no problem. However, I found that it was a little tough to sleep in this. The lace on the front side of the cup and below on the band was just a little bit scratchy and rubbed me as I tossed and turned. I made it through the night, but I probably will be wearing something a little more minimalistic next time.

On a side note, I noticed something interesting with this bra compared to some others I had used during nursing. My baby seemed a lot more distracted with this lace one and kept trying to pull at it and play with it. It did not seem to affect the actual nursing, thankfully, but he was a little bit more active while latched.

Overall, this bra was pretty nice. Both my husband and I love this sexy lace look (and it made me feel like a WOMAN) and it seems to be a perfect bra to wear during the day. Also, the ease (after practice) of clasping and unclasping made it ideal for discreet public nursing. I'm definitely going to be using this again after this!
