Frugal Friday – L’oreal Passport to Paradise
Summer 2010

Photo credit: Steph’s Closet Apologies beauties, I’ve had a couple of things from this collection for awhile now and am just now getting around to reviewing them. L’oreal’s Passport to Paradise Collection sold out uber fast around my neck of the woods and with good reason–it’s impressive indeed. Reminiscent of the ocean with shades of [...]

Summer Brights Are Here!

Bright nail polishes 001

Grab your sunglasses Beauties, because the summer brights have arrived! Chanel is kicking it off with the Les Pop-Up De Chanel collection. Part of the fun of summer for me is bright tops and sandals with crisp white pants or capris….or white sunglasses like the model!  I don’t do bright eyeshadows, maybe I will use a [...]

Frugal Friday – L’oreal Studio Secrets
Magic Perfecting Base

L'oreal primer 001

I was excited to try this new primer by L’oreal; one of my favorite drugstore brands. Anything that promises to smooth lines, hide pores and banish imperfections has my undivided attention! It is very apropos that this product has magic in its name, because it make pores and wrinkles disappear! I have to say this is a strange formula; [...]

Chanel Coco 002

Well, March is almost over–wow that went fast! Time for this month’s edition of 5 things I’m loving right now. This month two of the 5 things I’m loving are lip stains and I blame my new addiction on Carla from Product Girl whose posts and tweets got me hooked. I shake my finely manicured [...]

Corals!!!

The-Little-Mermaid-Wallpaper-the-little-mermaid-6260676-1024-768

I think Sebastian said it best “everything’s better down where it’s wetter, under the sea.” I’m happiest near water; whether it be the ocean, a lake or river, but I do have a special affection for the ocean and snorkeling. What a fascinating world there is under there; the colors and textures, the strange creatures–spectacular! When snorkeling I feel as [...]

Frugal Friday- L’Oreal Elnett Hairspray

Legend has it that for many years, L’Oreal Elnett hairspray could only be found in Europe and hairdressers would ‘sneak’ cases in their luggage to bring back to the U.S. Who knows if this is true, but I will say this–the formula is unique. It is not sticky, and doesn’t have that ‘glue’ hairspray feeling. [...]

Frugal Friday – L’oreal HiP Color Chrome Eyeliner

I’ve been curious about L’oreal HiP Color Chrome eyeliners for awhile. My girls on MUA (makeupalley.com) rave about them so I felt they deserved a try and at $9.99 each but on sale for Buy One Get One Free I charged into Walgreen’s expecting to find an assortment of glittery overkill. Surprisingly these soft creamy liners [...]

Makeup Tip: Metallic Eyes

This fall eyes shine with shades of silver, gold, copper and bronze. I couldn’t be happier. Bronze is my very very favorite eye shadow color and I have– oh I don’t know, like, 4,987,204,630 of them. Does that stop me from buying more? Hell-to-the no! Everyone can wear metallics, the trick is to find a hue [...]
