Guerlain Terracotta Joli Teint Healthy Glow Fluid

Guerlain Terracotta Joli Teint Healthy Glow Fluid Foundation ($53) is either one of the greatest foundations I’ve ever used or one of the most confusing.

Guerlain Terracotta Joli Teint Healthy Glow Fluid Foundation is a new weightless foundation that released with the Guerlain Summer 2014 Collection which has corrective properties so skin looks radiant and even in a single application.

The confusion sets in because I see many descriptions saying this gives a touch of Summer to skin but technically that isn’t true….it almost makes it sound like it’s a bronzing foundation product of sorts. A foundation with perhaps a hint of bronze-y tint? It can be a bit weird reading the details on it.

I think it might just be a must have if you’re a fond fan of Guerlain base products as I thought it provided sheer, breathable coverage with a gorgeous finish.

Frugal Gourmeting with the Lush Brightside Bubble Bar

This was provided to me by a brand for review but all opinions expressed are my own

Lush Bright Side Bubble Bar

I have friends who are horrified that I burn tarts or use $5-$8 bubble bars or bombs! Seriously, my friend Jamie can’t walk into Lush with without proclaiming how expensive the bombs and bubble bars are and wincing about how you’re only using them for one bath and how that bath is costing me anywhere between $5 to $10.

She also does the same thing when we go to Yankee Candle and tells me I’m burning money each time I melt a tart.

Oh woe.

I love her but I guess I don’t have the same mentality about beauty that she does as I consider the $8 bucks I spend on a Lush bath relaxing, comforting, and just a wonderful indulgence and money well spent. I work hard I deserve a little R&R under a mound of delicious scented moisturizing bubbles don’t I?

Well for friends like Jamie might I introduce you to the Lush Brightside Bubble Bar?

100 Shades Of Buxom Full-On Lip Polish

100! One, zero, zero…100 Shades of Buxom Full On Lip Polish to choose from what do you think of that? I ask myself, when is it just too much?

Bare Minerals might have gone overboard when they decided to introduce 100 shades of Buxom Full-on Lip Polish! I mean why have 12 shades, why even have 20? Or why even 30 for that matter?

Here, have a 100!

Lipstick Queen Jungle Queen Lipstick Review & Swatches

Jungle Queen Lipstick

I admit I had this weird moment of Jungle Boogie playing in my ear when I applied the new Lipstick Queen Jungle Queen Lipstick! You just might want to boogie down with Jungle Queen this Summer as she’s the perfect on trend orange for warm, Summer-y looks.

And to think I thought she was going to be coral!
