Marc Jacobs Splash Curacao Review

Marc Jacobs Splash Curacao 5

Have you had a chance to sniff the latest round of Marc Jacobs Splashes for Summer 2011?

Each one is inspired by cool, sweet cocktail on a sun-soaked summer day…the kind I’m of day I’m dreaming about right now rather than dreading a possible rainy weekend!

Why………!

Well at least I have Marc Jacobs Curacao to keep me from ranting the bad weather!

Benefit Now to Wow! Color Collection with Benefit Cha Cha Tint

Benefit Now to Wow Color Collection with Benefit Cha Cha Tint

Benefit Cha Cha Tint won’t be available for an entire month more.

Aw man!

Who wants to wait that long!?

But no worries, your Muse has you covered.

You can grab the Benefit Now to Wow! Color Collection on HSN today for $33.50 and guess what? It includes a full size Benefit Cha Cha Tint.

But you have to snatch it up quick because once it goes live during the presentation rumor is that it’ll sell out quick and won’t be back until it’s official release date.

Benefit Cha Cha will be $28 when it does release but this collection features a few extra goodies for as little as $7 more.

Here’s what you get!

  • Benefit Cha Cha Tint Mango-Tinted Lip and Cheek Stain
  • Benefit Instant Brow Pencil
  • Benefit BADgal Lash Mascara
  • Benefit Mini High Beam Mini Luminescent Complexion Enhancer

Sweet right? The set is valued well over $50.

Snatch up your early release of Benefit Cha Cha, it’s a Summer must have in my humblest opinion! Missed my review? Click here to view it.

Get it now at http://beauty.hsn.com

Happy Shoppin’!

Clio Ok! Eyeshadow Review, Swatches, Photos

Clio Ok Eyeshadow 3

Clio is a brand of cosmetics in Korea. The brand has some really great makeup products and veers away from the cutesy aspect of makeup that we sometimes see from other Asian brands.

Ok! Eyeshadow will probably remind you of Victora’s Secret Beauty Rush Luminous Shadow from days of old.

Let’s take a peek!

How old is Leeza Gibbons anyway? Everything I see her in a Sheer Cover infomercial I’m gagging over how flawless she looks!

I love mists in the Summer…I haul them all out of my beauty stash and put them in my beauty fridge, damn straight I have a mini fridge for my makeup, so they are nice and cool on my face!

Let’s take a peek at Sheer Cover Refreshing Face Mist.

A Most Favored Beauty Most Unusual Post

Baby Foot is a popular epidemic that has swept the Asian market. It’s basically a system that you use to make your feet smoother by the way of a peeling effect. Reader’s have viewed my post for Baby Foot over 10,000 since I originally posted in back in 2009!

I guess alot of folks are into foot peeling!

In honor of the huge response to the post, I’m reposting it today for you to enjoy again or if you’re new you’re in for a treat.

Please put down your food and drink prior to jumping ahead though…it’s kinda gross.

Here’s his sultry, smoldering “I’m like Indiana Jones but sexier” Zoolander look.

Anyway, ’bout Bath and Body Works Into the Wild.

Yay or Nay: Adrienne’s Crazy Ass Makeup Skillz

 

Yay or Nay 

Some of my first “real” makeup experience was with kits that a friend of my mum’s purchased for me from the Signature Club A Collection on HSN. Don’t hate, some of that stuff was actually good…ha! Seriously, some of the blushes were kinda funky cool and I still to this day swear by the Lilac Primer.

There is nothing as entertaining as watching Adrienne apply makeup on models during a presentation though!

Have you seen?

Girlfriend cakes that shiz on! To add insult to injury she smears concealer under the eyes of older women without a care in the world…if they didn’t have wrinkles before no worries Adrienne gave ‘em some after that bang up application job in my opinion! Go girl!

 

 

 

 

I will say in recent years she’s a bit more gentle but I swear the lady applies makeup like these model’s are heading into a deep sea diving experience and need their face to remain in place at 5000 feet below.

Disclaimer: Adrienne was not harmed in the making of this post. I’m no expert at makeup application. This post is just for fun. Adrienne may or may not laugh at this post, life’s too short not to laugh at yourself sometimes.

MAC Surf Baby SkinSheen Bronzer Stick Review, Swatches, Photos

MAC Surf Baby SkinSheen Bronzer Stick 1

Ahh the MAC Surf Baby SkinSheen Bronzer Sticks, like mud for your face!

Sorry…but these bad boys are way pigmented and if you’re not careful you’ll be looking all kinds like you were outside playing in the mud on a rainy day.

For shame!

That dirty look could prove sexy to some but on my fuller face it doesn’t quite sit right.

Let’s take a peep!

Use It, Stash It, or Trash It

Up for a little gaming?

The name of this game is Use It, Stash It, or Trash it and it’s a variation of Sex, Marry, Kill. Never played it? It’s easy!

Someone presents you with a list of three people in your life or celebs and you decide if you want to have sex with them, marry them, or kill them off.

My variation of the game involves cosmetics. I’ll give you three options and you tell me if you’d keep the item and use it, stash it away in your beauty vault and never use it because it’s just so damn gorgeous , or trash it in the makeup graveyard!

Game on!
