More Info About Bath and Body Works Halloween 2011 Collection

Bath and Body Works Halloween 2011

Hey all!

Quickie update about Bath and Body Works Halloween 2011. Part of the collection is in stores now and more will be coming August 12th.

I had a very quickie glance as their product guide today thanks to a friendly staff member and everything looks amazing.

There will, indeed, be a ton of lipglosses to choose from. I didn’t get all the names and flavors but they have a color changing gloss I believe or two different versions of a gloss that’s named something like Naughty Witch and Nice Witch (don’t quote me on the name).

They will also have other lotions releasing along with Sinful Vanilla as well as Shimmer Mists.

It was three or four pages worth of goodies and I was drooling. I only had a very brief look at the book since other people were in line so my glance didn’t include capturing major details but just wanted to share about all the amazing stuff that’s coming soon!

I can’t wait!

Thoughts?

Share ‘em!

Beauty Most Unusual: Deo Under Your Arms, Not On Your Face

BMU

Listen, I draw the line at using Monistat on my face.

It may be the most amazing primer ever but it’s still used to cure yeast infections, yeah, well, I don’t want it on my face.

Sorry.

P.S. Deodorant? That’s for under your arms not on your face.

These innovative shadows have a texture that you may have never experienced in the shadow world before.

Sonia Kashuk Curl Up Eyelash Curler Review

Sonia Kashuk Curl Up Eyelash Curler 001

The Sonia Kashuk Curl Up Eyelash Curler has the true potential for greatness my friends. This little piece of beauty gadgetry is part of Sonia Kashuk’s Fall 2011 Collection and is available now at Target.

I’ve never really paid attention but I do believe there has been a curler or two available from the brand before but as of now they only have a smaller travel curler which addresses individual lashes rather than a full fringe of lashes plus a travel curler which looks like a heated curler.

Outside of these I’m not sure if I’ve ever really noticed the brand having a full size curler available outside of an LE one during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.

Now the Sonia Kashuk Curl Up Eyelash Curler could prove to be solid gold awesomeness in the curler world but it has a few hiccups that are hard to overlook!

Duri Fall 2011 Wine Tasting Party Nail Polish Collection 003

I’m not a nail girl but I know what I like.

The rich hues of the Duri Fall 2011 Nail Polish Collection captured my eye this morning and made me wish that I had more nail to work with (I’m a biter) so I could take advantage of these shades for Fall!

Clean & Clear Morning Burst Fruit Infusions Reviving Cleanser Pomegranate Review

Clean Clear Morning Burst Fruit Infusions Reviving Cleanser Pomegranate IMG 0065 002

Clean & Clear have brand new Morning Burst cleansers called Fruit Infusions. These supposedly have real infusions of fruit and are available in three “flavors”.

As it’s Back to School shortly the marketing behind these is rather savvy as students will probably want to indulge in some new cleanser, skincare, or beauty bits and bobs.

I’ve actually mentioned before I like to cheapen up my AM routine as I save my more expensive cleaners for evening use so these are an ideal pick for me. I really like the Brightening Cleanser that Clean & Clear recently introduced so I was all about trying Fruit Infusions.

Let’s take a look at the Clean & Clear Morning Burst Fruit Infusions Reviving Cleanser with Pomegranate!

Estee Lauder Pure Color Modern Mercury Fall 2011 Collection

Estee Lauder Pure Color Modern Mercury Fall 2011 Collection 6

Although I gave you a very brief glance at the new Estee Lauder Pure Color Modern Mercury Collection for Fall 2011 late last week today I bring you the entire release including prices, shades, and product information.

I normally love Estee Lauder Fall but I’m not sure Modern Mercury is quite me. Tom Pecheux’s, Estee Lauder’s Creative Director, was inspired by creative reflections found in modern architecture and how buildings never look the same color because they are flecting what is around them. His idea is that wearing the same makeup should never end up looking the same way. An interesting concept to say the least.

NARS Fall Collection 2011

NARS Fall Collection 2011 10

Don’t kill me, but I haven’t been excited about a NARS Collection in a long, long time. Nothing has really jumped out at me from the brand in a few seasons now and I’m beginning to panic…have I lost my NARS groove?

I should be thanking the makeup Gods right? Money saved?

I want NARS to surprise me with some incredibly brilliant blush a la O or Super O but only better….

It can happen right?

How about NARS Fall 2011?

Maybe that will whet my appetite?

Check it!

In Need of Some Extra Storage?

Storage 3

I’m not sure how many of you share my OCD personality that demands I store everything in bins, boxes, and containers. If you happen to have this disease might I suggest stopping by your local Target and picking up some of the cute Rubbermaid style bins they have available at the moment.

This particular one caught my eye because of the printed design that has words all over it referencing the objects, junk, stuff, whatnots, and items inside.

Storage 2

Storage 1

Cute eh?

The container is fairly large so you can store boxes of Facial Sheet Masks inside it or makeup and other bits and bobs. Each bin is $5.99 and comes in a variety of prints including a rather pretty floral one.

Thought I’d give you a heads up if you need some extra storage!

Wet n Wild Dreamweaver ColorIcon Trio Eyeshadow Swatches

Wet n Wild Dreamweaver ColorIcon Trio Eyeshadow Swatches 002

The new Wet n Wild DreamWeaver Collection brings out six new ColorIcon Trio Eyeshadows for $2.99 each.

These are popping up for a limited time in drugstores however I personally don’t think you have to rush to grab them as they have alot of similar shades in them from ColorIcon’s past…and some even remind me of shades from both the Fall and Holiday 2010 release. So if you own alot of WnW already just check your stash for possible dupes before dishing out any cash.

Here’s a few swatches, I’ll follow up with a review soon!
