Hi gorgies! Since fellow blogger and friend Judy gave Go Gorgeous a shout out this morning, I thought it only appropriate to send her some love too. Her blog is about running, eating healthy, fitness and losing way the only way that works – the healthy way. She’s adorable and hilarious, so check it out by clicking below !
Please, if you are even considering a Vera Bradley purchase …
It will save a lot of people’s eyes from hideous, vomitus patterns. Everytime I see one of these bags, my eyes bleed just a little. I am asking that you please stop these visual assaults! For fashion and humanity!
Well, I knew there must be more plum mascara out there, and my cube mate Laura just pointed me to YSL’s site, where, TEASES, they have a purple mascara. BUT ITS OUT OF STOCK! Its not anywhere. I looked high and low on the interwebs. I have sad faces right now. See below for my sad face. YSL is my fave mascara. Blarg. I will continue to stalk this website and keep you posted on any notable findings. Feel free to share ideas if you have a mascara suggestion for me to try!
It has been many many weeks since last I posted. I started to lose my mojo. My golden gal LL reminded me to post this weekend so I had to get back in the saddle. For your viewing pleasure – a new product review!
You know that I am the first person to rave about Benefit. I do it quite frequently. I happened upon the Bad Gal Lash in Plum a few weeks back and I have to say – it falls into the Arnold Palmer category – half and half, comme ci comme ca, metza metz. Here’s why -
Pros:
Cons:
I tried to find a comparison to do for all y’all but couldn’t find one. I’ve used the blue Dior before and loved it so I guess I am holding it to that bar of colored mascaras. Would I buy it again? Probably not. Will I wear it till its gone? You betcha. Shout if you have any other fun color ideas for me! Anxious to try!
Not all of us are svelte waifs or have the benefits of good genes. What I do know is that all women should know the secrets to dressing themselves thin, whatever size they are. I get lots of ideas from What Not to Wear, one of my fave shows. And of course I am really into these little tips and tricks, whether they be beauty or fashion-related. Time just published a piece on how to dress yourself thin. It’s a fun read – and the before / afters are pretty dramatic. I pasted one of the makeovers below. Check it out by clicking here.
Th most disturbing part about my jorts post is that I am on the Express email list. There. I said it. In my own defense I also have Anthro, Bluefly, Saks, Shopbop and Ruelala emails delivered to my inbox, just saying!
I have been as elusive as that hairy, snow-loving creature known as the Yeti. I spilled cava on my computer and its fried. And I’ve been sick as a dog. So I have been MIA. More glam beauty tips and posts to come ASAP. In the meantime, you can learn more about the Yeti -
In honor of St. Valentine’s day I will post about true love – for Dior. Sorry hubby, I love you too, but this blog isnt about my sappy love life! As I mentioned in one of my posts a few months ago, I’ve been craving a peachy/coral lip look. I went to Sephora yesterday and tried on about 12 different products. I found a few I really liked, but I LOVED Dior Addict Lip Polish in Glow Expert.
It’s gorgeous, dewy, natural and sexy. Once I tried I had to buy. My husband was not thrilled to see my sack o’ Sephora sitting on the kitchen table when I got home yesterday but I explained/rationalized that I am conducting research for the blog!
Plus, I also think about cost per wear. This will surely get me through at least 60 applications, so my cost per wear is a mere 50 cents! See, this is actually a bargain!
Back to the product itself – Sephora says “The light coral tone adds sheer, warm color to lips to give luminosity and glow”. I concur. It’s also super moisturizing and designed to have runway appeal.
It isn’t as dramatic a coral look I was initially thinking but that didn’t matter once I tried it on. I am thinking I may still get a coral lipstick but I will wait until Spring gets closer. For now, I am rocking the DIOR.
Happy Valentines day all – hope to post more later today on the other scores I got yesterday!!!
Go Gorgeous hit a record high for visits yesterday! Thanks to everyone who keeps coming back for more. It just inspires me to step up my game!
You know what’s almost as good as finding money you forgot about in your jeans pocket? A $50 Sephora gift card buried deep inside your wallet. SCORE! Life is good today. I must have done something right with the universe.
Now that it’s discovered it’s burning a hole in my pocket. To top it off, I got a sweet Beauty Insider sample offer from Sephora.
I still havent found my “perfect” moisturizer so this may help me along on my mission (more to come on this and on what I choose to purchase with my no longer buried treasure). If you aren’t a Beauty Insider, ladies, you are SERIOUSLY missing out!
