Smith’s Rosebud Medley of Lip Balms (In a Tube)

Smiths Salve

I happen to be a traditionalist.

My first tin of Smith’s Rosebud Salve came into my possession nearly a decade ago and I’ve dubbed it the Solution to Life, the Universe, and Everything ever since that faithful day.

I’m pretty anal so my favorite salve in a tin form kicked in my OCD good nature and I was all worried about the germ and bacteria factor. Ew! Thankfully a year or two ago Smith’s blessed us with a tube version of their cult favorite balm. I loved it but like I said I’m a traditionalist and actually prefer the tin over the tube….

However, the good news is now Smiths’ has created a trio of their popular salves in a tube form and also indivdually…so you aren’t limited to the Rosebud Salve version anymore you can choose from other Smith’s Salves in this new packaging!

Baviphat Magic Band Lumy Lovely Eau de Toilette Review

Baviphat Magic Band Lumy Lovely Eau de Toilette 001

What was that tag line from Field of Dreams? Build it and they will come? I need to steal that for cheap Asian Eau de Toilettes….”Make them and she will buy them…” That’s me, sucker punched into purchasing really bad EDT sprays from Korea.

I keep buying into cheapie EDT sprays because they are so damn cute but OMG they smell like…

Ruby Kisses 24/7 Eye Shadow Magic Primer An Uncanny Urban Decay Primer Potion Dupe?

True Blood Season 4

I wanted to dive right into this post and start raggin’ on the Ruby Kisses 24/7 Eye Shadow Magic Primer and how dupe-tastic it is to Urban Decay Primer Potion but than I got sidetracked watching the True Blood Season 4 Screen Test.

Jealously soon set in that Lafayette is able to work liqud liner like no one’s business! Boyfriend’s eyeliner skillz are the boss! He needs a little golden sheen on those lids like last season and he’ll be really workin’ it for Summer.

Btw I call dibs on both Eric and Alcide but still a Team Lafayette playa here! You guys can have sloppy seconds……like Bill or Sam! Thank me later!

Anyway, ’nuff about vampires, wolves, and men in makeup…

How about Ruby Kisses for managing to pull up a rather coolio dupe of UDPP….

Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Lavender Eau de Toilette Spray Review

Fez

Long weekend ahead!

W00t! I can’t wait. I was so tempted, soooooo tempted to head to Phoenix Comic Con this weekend to stalk Wil Wheaton but I’m kinda Con’ed out as I’ve been to three or four this year already and saw him recently at another Con…I didn’t want him to realize I was stalking him you see, there’s a method to the madness. I should be over my Con hang over by February of next year to attend Gallifrey One though, maybe we can get WW there and dress him in a bow tie and a fez, it’s my sexual fantasy come true. You’re doing it wrong Wil…! I need a set of Christian Louboutin Bianca Platform Pump in Merlot and I can totally capture his eye, either that or wear some Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Lavender Eau de Toilette Spray for the win!

Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals SPF 30 Natural Sunscreen Review

Bare Escentuals Bare Minerals SPF 30 Natural Sunscreen 7

I should hope you’re using SPF all year round. Rain, shine, snow, fiery balls falling from the sky, whatever the day brings I hope it starts with a solid SPF.

And shame on you if you aren’t wearing SPF!

SPF isn’t the easiest product in the world to wear in my opinion. Some are greasy, some too oily, some break me out, some feel way heavy, some suffocate my skin……It’s tough SPF world out there.

But it’s an absolutely necessary evil that you apply it everyday, diligently, to protect your skin and keep it looking its youthful best.

Products that make SPF easy are on my hit list so thank you Bare Escentuals SPF 30 Natural Sunscreen for making SPF easy, simple, and painless!

Jelly Pong Pong Hawaiian Sun Bronzer Review, Swatches, Photos

Jelly Pong Pong Hawaiian Sun Bronzer 8

I say Brazil and you think what…?

Brazilian Wax?
Rio de Janeiro?
Hawt Footballer Players?

I dunno why but the only thing that pops into my head when I think Brazil is an interview Freddy Mercury did in 1985 while he was in Rio. He seemed so incredibly put out in that interview…! But when he says, “I am the surprise!” it makes me laugh. Sigh…so yeah, that’s what I think of when I hear Brazil, my mind works in strange and unusual ways!

Speaking of Brazil, I’m depending on the Jelly Pong Pong Brazilian Sun Bronzer to give me a sunkissed glow this Summer because it’s bronzer for dummies yo! So easy to apply!

Clarins Instant Smooth Set

Clarins Instant Smooth Set

Two is always better than one particularly when it comes to makeup! Clarins now combines the greatness of Instant Smooth and the brilliance of the new Instant Smooth Line Correcting Concentrate into a dynamite duo!

This calls for a pervy, hidden innuendo opening to Batman but it’s so NOT work safe so don’t play it while your boss, kids, husband, or boyfriend are around…don’t say I didn’t warn you!

My Beauty Diary Blooming of Beauty Mask Package Review

My Beauty Diary Blooming of Beauty Mask Package 1

My Beauty Diary has a new range of sheet masks that were released several months ago entitled Blooming of Beauty. These masks are a new range that are supposedly more effective than the the masks in the general catalog. They also sport a thinner material that allows the essence to be absorbed more easily into the skin.

Since I wanted to try the entire range of masks in the Blooming Beauty Collection I decided to get a the My Beauty Dairy Blooming of Beauty Mask Package Set.

My Beauty Diary Aloe Amino Acid Cleanser Review

My Beauty Diary Aloe Amino Acid Cleanser 1

Maybe I’m craving matcha but when I tried out the My Beauty Diary Aloe Amino Acid Cleanser I could swear it smelled like some sort of matcha tea or candy!

This foaming cleanser is available for a limited time and supposedly contains amino acids. Amino acids are supposed to stimulate the product of collagen so your skin will look firmer and fine lines and wrinkles will appear plumped up and less visible…yeah, well, you know how it goes with skincare promising us the world.

I will say it’s a great cleanser and hey, if by some chance it has some anti-aging benefits in the long run you won’t hear me complaining!
