I have a cold today so my eyes are all kinds of puffy and one can hope the E.L.F. Massaging Eye Wand ($25) might help. These eye wands are all the rage at the moment! Foreo has one as well but it’ll set you back $139 so, maybe that $25 for the E.L.F. Cosmetics’ version doesn’t have you cringing too hard. But let’s be honest, we expect all things cheap and budget friendly from E.L.F. so when I slap a $25 price tag on something from them I can hear a collective sigh of horror.

None the less, I still want to try this little gadget. Basically you can use it with your fav eye creams and serums the gentle vibrations from the device allow your eye cream to absorb more fully plus it gives you a gentle massage which acts to depuff those tired eyes. I’m one of those people that think devices like this are so freaking cool and how they’ll help me so much with my eye cream application. But I end up having a honeymoon period with it and slowly become lazy about using it nightly.

Bad Muse, bad!

None the less totally want to try this one.

E.L.F. Massaging Eye Wand is available now at www.elfcosmetics.com.

I need to all the deets if you tried it already so do dish! That will make or break my purchase if you tell me it was horribly bad or totally holy grail status!

The new Clarisonic Sonic Foundation Brush ($35) is completely compatible with your current Clarisonic Skin Cleansing Brush and will turn it into a makeup tool. This new brush can be snapped onto any your Mia 1, Mia 2, Mia FIT, and Smart Profile and basically turns it into a makeup brush.

The soft bristled brush uses Clarisonic’s oscillation technology to generate more than 18,000 micro-blends per minute which breaks down foundations and allows for flawless, full, natural coverage. The brush bristles are designed to not absorb your foundation but to apply in effortlessly onto your skin while perfecting coverage for a flawless finish. You can use it with nay of your favorite foundation formulas, BB Creams, or even color correctors, highlighters, and contouring creams.

I’ve reviewed similar products like this in the past suck as the Doll 10 Beauty Blend Smart Rotating Makeup Brush System which I’m quite a fond fan of. It’s weird for me to rave an electronic brush for foundation application since I tend to stick to my fingers for most base product application. But I really like the way these brushes break down foundation and give it a more natural, lighter feel and look.

Clarisonic Sonic Foundation Brush is available for pre-order now at clarisonic.com and is now available at ulta.com and sephora.com soon.

Will you be trying it?

I LOVE coral anything so, I have to try this to say the least!

So, Happy Monday but not for me. I was away in paradise this weekend and came home to being sick. Ugh! Sore throat, sneezing, yuk! I wish I could stay home in bed. Remember when you were a kid and you didn’t have responsibilities. So, when you got sick it was like, “Mom, I don’t feel good!” and BAM! Everything was magically taken care of for you. Why didn’t anyone tell me adulting meant you had to go to work even when you’re not feeling well? I just want some chicken noodle soap and I want to finish binging Song Huajai Nee Puea Tur which is my new lakorn obsession while snuggled under my comforter with a box of tissues. I caught the first episode and like 10 minutes of the second one on the plane trip home last night and it’s corny but cute. It’s a typical wacky drama with a supernatural twist where boy loses memory, has some sort of dual-personality going on where he’s sweet and nice one minute and some sort of chaebol pretty boy the next (although for the record, it appears his heir to the family business is that of furniture….whoa, exciting!). Remind me again why I watch this stupid $h1t? Anyway, if you feel the need to binge you can catch it with fairly good subbies on dailymotion.com although video quality sucks.

Happy Monday!

Meltdown Makeup Remover Cleansing Oil Stick, Meltdown Makeup Remover Lip Oil Stick, and other interesting offerings are available with the new Urban Decay Rehab Skincare that launched today at Sephora and Ulta. Yes, that’s right, Urban Decay is getting in on the skincare game!

You might not call Rehab Skincare UD’s first venture into skincare considering they have had little fixes here and there in the skincare department like the much beloved Deslick in a Tube. As a dry skin girl I loved that stuff in the Summer! It seriously kept shine at bay in a major way.

Count me curious about some of these new skincare goodies.

P.S. One of the most interesting pieces of news I heard this month is the fact they are remaking Suspiria. Hopefully we have some Italian horror fans out there in makeup land! Dakota Johnson, Chloe Grace Moretz and Tilda Swinton are going to be in it. Did your brain just explode? Mine did. But don’t get too excited. The remake is stripping the color palette and incredibly haunting music that made the film, well, it made it terrifying! Most fans find that sacrilege but apparently the film will have more plot and a story. So, technically it doesn’t have to rely upon the vibrant color palette and eerie good music that Argento used. If we’re honest fans without either of the two Suspiria is just a B-Movie with a bad plot. Gulp! Yup, I said it. The music literally brought the film to life and it made you throw your covers over your head in fear of what was lurking around the corner. That legendary dark and rainy night scene of a drenched Suzy making her way to Tanz Dance Academy feels like she’s headed towards her death. Not to mention the vibrant colors especially the blood red lighting made your fingers cover your eyes as you peeked through them in terror that someone was going to whip a knife out and spill blood all over the screen. I feel like Rob Zombie tried to capture some of Suspiria’s origin in the Lords of Salem. Anyway, I’m really eager to see it! That’s your Monday randomness for now but let’s get back to Urban Decay Rehab Skincare right? Right!

Skip ahead for more deets on this new skincare!

There are days I come home and I just don’t want to face my nightly skincare routine. Double-cleanse, face mask, tons of different essences, serums, moisturizer…it can be exhausting! When you’re getting home like at 3AM on the weekend you just don’t want to think about the entire skincare process that’s keeping your complexion looking amazing. What you do want is to just throw yourself into bed with your cloths on, your mascara firmly in place, and your shoes half off and call it a day.

I swear that the person who thought up micellar water was a hardcore party boy or girl. They are definitely all like, “Bitch, I want to rock and roll day and party every night and I want to do it with my eyeliner on fleek! But I so do not want to go through the process of removing it at the end of a long day’s worth of partying!” Suddenly a light bulb came on above their head and they were all like, “I KNOW! I’ll create a water that removes my makeup in a few swipes so I can get to the land of nod ASAP!”

I’ve expressed how I’m not really a big micellar water person because I never really feel like my face is clean after using them. I’ll tell you one thing, they are fab for getting makeup off in a hurry that’s for sure! At the least, I’ll use them when I just want to get to bed super fly fast.

Be honest with me though, do you sleep in your makeup?

When was the last time you did it?

Are you a repeat offender?

Go on, confess…..
