Period. The end!<div style="text-align: center;">Happy fall! It doesn't feel like fall today with the temperature reaching 83! (WHAT?) I think it's really strange how warm it is but I loved it outside today! I wanted to talk about my favorite thing about fall and winter - new yummy candles! I have been doing my research and finally picked out my set of 4 (I always buy seasonal candles in 4, hello OCD!) I love relaxing, yummy scents in the colder months. I get pretty down in the winter because it's so dark and it really helps having delicious candles around. My mother's favorite winter candle is Yankee Candle Blueberry, but don't you dare buy it.. it's hard enough for her to find as it is! Check out my selection and let me know if you agree and what you'd add to the mix! Have a great day off tomorrow.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I am so sorry I haven't written this post sooner considering the entire month of October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I find it hard to explain how I truly feel so I made a sign! Here is some background on it. My mother's best friend has breast cancer and she is my hairdresser. I've been going to her since I was born and I don't trust another soul with my hair! She has been fighting the cancer for 4 years now and she is finally in remission after 20+ surgeries. I made this sign with her in mind because even with cancer she was the most beautiful, put together woman I have ever met. She is so strong.. such a fighter. I created this sign using high quality, classic makeup products to symbolize the endless beauty these courageous women have. I used MAC liquid eyeliner to write "October is" because liquid eyeliner is a staple in every girls wardrobe. I then used Chanel nail polish in the shade Morning Rose to write "Breast Cancer Awareness Month". I chose this polish to write with because it is light pink with gold flecks which symbolizes, to me, an almost ethereal beauty that cannot be altered. I finished the sign by using NARS matte lipstick in Carthage. I chose this hot pink shade because it embodies the strength and perseverance these women have. I had such a great time making this sign and I would love to know how you celebrate life and health while raising awareness!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"><br />

</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This mascara has some serious claims. This eyelash-fortifying mascara is said to increase lash length and thickness, immediately and over time. I was pretty skeptical because most of those products that say they are going to enhance my lashes usually fall short. I wasn't born with beautiful long eyelashes and frankly they are quite invisible without mascara.. pretty stubby right? I figured that I couldn't go wrong with this product, and at $28 I thought the numbers had switched on me. $28 for a beautiful mascara AND growth treatment? Unheard of. As you all may know, Fusion Beauty has quite the cult following on their eyelash enhancer, StimuLashFusion™ Intensive Night Conditioning Lash Enhancer. That product is $89. YES, $89. It is extremely effective and has rave reviews and I've personally tried it and saw the effects within one week. Can I afford that price regularly? No, so this mascara is great news for people on a budget like me. This mascara is infused with a clinically-proven, lash-enhancing peptide called SYMPEPTIDE™. This ingredient improves the appearance of your lashes in as little as four-to-six weeks. I've had this for 2 months and I've seen serious lash growth. My lashes look full even without mascara! I adore the brush because it is very hard but flexible so you do not get anything but a beautiful fanned out look - without clumps. I don't think you could create clumps if you wanted to with this mascara, it's really <i>that </i>good. I sometimes have issues taking off mascara from other companies but never this one! It is so gentle and really does remove with soap and water. For such a gentle product, you'd assume you'd get raccoon eyes right? Nope! It stays on your lashes unless you cry soapy tears... which I think I can safely assume you all don't! I will always repurchase this mascara because it volumizes, thickens, curls and lengthens over time. What else does a girl need? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Let me begin with saying I can't get enough of Urban Decay eyeshadows. I think they are amazing formulation and pigment. I usually buy them in singles, however, because I usually don't like UD palette packaging.. <b>until now.</b> This packaging is the definition of luxe. The outer box is a gunmetal purple that features a faceted jewel “UD” on the cover and a beautiful laser-cut filigree design on the sides. Inside, the shadow tray pulls out to reveal a velvet-lined compartment that can be used to stash jewelry or personal mementos like tweezers, rings, etc. I love that the entire tray of shadows comes right out! Sometimes I just hold that up while I'm doing my makeup because it's lighter than with the box attached. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The first row of eyeshadows is my personal favorite. I love these neutrals because they don't have any duplicates.. they truly are unique. These shadows are <b>Midnight Rodeo </b>(medium metallic brown w/silver and gold glitter), <b>Midnight 15</b> (oyster pearl w/silver glitter), <b>Vanilla</b> (shimmery white gold), <b>Flow</b> (soft peach shimmer), <b>Chase</b> (metallic bright bronze.) I didn't experience any fallout issues with these and all of them are true to description except Vanilla has more gold in it than the description warrants. The second row, the brights, are so fun and very pigmented. Omen is my absolute favorite color! It is unbelievably beautiful in real life. I make a smokey eye using Half Truth in the crease, which is in the next row. These shadows are <b>Tainted</b> (pale matte purple with golden shimmer), <b>Junkshow </b>(bright pink w/fuchsia shift), <b>Omen</b> (shimmery metallic bright purple w/blue shift), <b>Evidence</b> (deep metallic blue), <b>Deep End </b>(bright teal shimmer.) All of those are extremely pigmented and true, including Tainted. I know some bloggers experienced difficulty with that particular shade but I found it pleasantly pigmented and workable! The final row is my "smoke show row" (aptly named) and I love how these colors work.. they aren't chalky in the least bit and are surprisingly forgiving for such pigment. These shadows are fabulous when used as liner. I use my Tarina Tarantino liner brush with the Blackout color and get phenomenal results! These colors are <b>Deeper </b>(deep shimmery golden brown), <b>M.I.A. </b>(soft shimmery dark brown), <b>Ace</b> (dark gunmetal shimmer), <b>Blackout</b> (darkest, most saturated black), <b>Half Truth </b>(shimmery smoky purple.) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These are also full sized eyeshadows at .05 each which makes this palette a steal for $55. I usually do not feel comfortable investing in something with 15 eyeshadows but I knew I'd use them all - and I do! My only gripe about this product is that it is not very travel friendly. The lid does not securely attach to the box so it makes it a palette that stays at home. I wish this wasn't limited edition, it really is the most gorgeous set of eyeshadows I've ever seen.. far from any gimmicky palette similiar to what we've all been seeing lately. Do you have this palette? Are you going to grab it?

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I have combination skin that is really tempermental. Some days I am really oily on my cheeks and tzone and other days I am not oily at all. I am pretty acne prone because of the oil that sometimes sits on my face (yuck!) I don't use oil control products because they dry out and irritate my dry skin so I was very excited to try these babies! As I stated above, these linens are exceptionally crafted from Abaca Tree Plant and let me tell you - these feel so luxurious on the skin. I noticed the oil on the blotting linen as soon as I finished wiping it over my face - it was amazing! After I used this linen I noticed my skin felt renewed and very clean. I am so happy to report I have not had a breakout since using these, even at my most oily points! I highly suggest you grab these if you get oily sometimes or a lot of the time - even on the hottest summer days this year these linens kept me shine and blemish free without drying my skin! I can feel the antioxidants freshening my complexion! These are a constant staple over at VCE! Do you love these or are you planning on trying? Let me know! I love hearing from everyone who reads this blog!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div>I am SO into Dior beauty. Ever since I saw the display at my Sephora store a couple years ago I haven't been able to stop indulging! The colors are always beautiful and the pigments are strong while blending seamlessly ALWAYS. This product is seriously perfect and is the best highlighter I've ever owned in my life. This beautiful powder is extremely shimmery and finely milled. On lighter skintones this almost acts as a highlight/bronzer but with medium tones it is a beautiful highlight.. such a wonderful year round product. I use it along with my Dior Bronze Harmonie de Blush in Coral Riviera and it's my favorite look EVER! At $44 this product is pricey but worth it. I promise it's way better than any other highlight I've at least tried.<br />

I am so into the new colors (Check out my review for It's Hippo To Be Square) and Seeing Pink Elephants is awesome! I am always searching for a pretty pink polish and Nars Schiap was the closest I could get.. until this! This is my new favorite polish ever. This polish/colour wears extremely well and is very bright and gorgeous. I almost forgot, do you know what "Seeing Pink Elephants" means? "Seeing Pink Elephants is a euphemism for a drunken hallucination, caused by alcoholic hallucinosis or delirium tremens." Silly name but I'll take it. I painted my toes with this polish! Love it tons.</div><br />

I am always finding myself buying colors (some at random) because of the affordable price of these polishes. When I was notified that this color was now available I had to have this color! It reminds me of OPI's Mod About You! I love it A LOT. It's currently on my nails right now! This color is available on www.sephora.com for $9.50!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Swatches & ReviewWhen it comes to eye makeup, do you stay neutral? I usually do if I even wear eye makeup - usually I'll just wear mascara (Benefit They're Real is my new fave) but lately something has come over me. I'm <i>dying</i> for some color! I have green eyes and usually us green eyed folk stay away from blue eyeliner but who makes the rules? I think this color is beautiful on all eye colors, it is just so gorgeous!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Let's talk about how long it lasts. I had a day of running errands in the sun yesturday and this held up without question. I then forgot to take it off before I took a shower (oops!) and washing my face and that STILL didn't budge this baby.. I had to use special eye makeup remover after the shower which is absolutely great. The color of/in the pencil is so pigmented and I can't believe how creamy and smooth it applies to my lashline, absolutely NO tugging. I am partial to MUFE Aqua Eyes but these are almost better in my opinion. My other favorite color of this pencil is called 'BAKED' and it's the best! I keep saying it but www.urbandecay.com is having a friends and family sale and it's 25% OFF with code FFSUMMER11. Go get these pencils and let me know what else you beauties grab! Do you think this blue would be your favorite too? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I've been on the hunt for quite some time and this product is going in the <b>HOLY GRAIL</b> category for it's design, color, pigmentation and wear. Most pinks turn darker on my pigmented lips, however YSL is known for their true pigmentation. I loved the original colors released about a year ago (I bought & reviewed #17 Le Orange) and these new "summer" colors are literally mindblowing! I literally can't get enough! $30 is quite a steep price for lipstick, however this specific color and line is definitely worth it. Check it out!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This color is ridiculously perfect. The scent alone of this lipstick would have you begging for more (I talk it up in my post on pur couture #17!) and the packaging is SO luxe. With my previous experience with the Rouge Pur Couture line I have used a lip brush when applying to avoid overkill and product waste.. however this color is so stunning and wearable (surprisingly!) it allows for tube to lip greatness! I am so thrilled with this purchase and I can't seem to use much of anything else since I got it. Light skinned and dark skinned beauties will both look fabulous in this color, however I think it is best suited for light/medium complexions. Did I mention how long this lasts? I apply once in the morning and even after eating and drinking it is still looking great! Even if you wipe this lipstick off it will leave behind a light pink stain. Basically there is nothing wrong with this lipstick and you need it, now! :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

A lot of my friends go completely crazy over how sexy everyone is on that show and at a local bar in Boston last year they met the whole crew (I passed on that which shows my true feelings!) That being said, I really really LOVE the colors in this limited edition line. While I do not own the palette, I did get a chance to pick up the cheek stain and the lipsurgence. I am in absolute love with the cheek stain! I had never used a cheek stain before (from Tarte) and needless to say I am very, very impressed! As far as the lip product goes, I own over 20 lipsurgence products and it was very high quality just like the others and the color is perfect. Check it out!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*drooooooool* <i>Wait, what?</i> Sorry, I was caught up in the pictures of the lipsurgence lip tint! Tarte describes this color as an iridescent red shade and I agree. Some bloggers are calling it pink, but do you see pink in the swatch? I don't. This lip product is wonderfully moisturizing and beautiful on.. my only gripe is that it is not terribly long lasting (I don't mind reapplying though because it tastes and smells like mint!) This lip product perfectly compliments the gorgeous cheek stain which is unbelievable.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">First off, this cheek stain smells like tropical fruits. I can't even handle how delicious it smells and my face smells like it when I apply! The stain looks like a bright red gold sparkle party in the tube but it applies a beautiful iridescent reddish pink shade. I apply the cheek stain directly from the tube which does result in some larger glitter on my face and I like it that way! Who doesn't want glitter on their face? Also this cheek stain lasts for an incredible amount of time on my face! I applied it at 7am one morning and it was still just as gorgeous at 10pm! My skin is light/medium right now and it looks good on my darker friends as well. Definitely worth the investment.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I had a really nice but calm 4th of July, how was yours? I haven't been blogging about my recent purchases because I've been so caught up in the weather! The summer sun feels like warm hands hugging me and I literally can't bring myself to sit online for <i>tooo</i> long. So far my summer has consisted of long drives, ice cream cones, beach bummin and MAJOR hauling! I have amazing things to show you once my camera finishes charging! Some things I am totally obsessed with would be the Tarte for True Blood cheek stain (most natural beautiful color ever), YSL Rouge Pur Couture in #27 (Best summer color besides Nars Carthage which I previously reviewed), Hourglass Cosmetics Illume set in Bronze Light (I won this and I can't even handle how PERFECT it is) and I can't stop playing with my new Dior Shimmer Powder in Amber Diamond. Dior has been blowing my mind lately! Urban Decay is having a 25% off sale right now by the way (enter code <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">FFSUMMER11<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;">.</span></span></span></b>) I, of course, did NOT miss out on that sale... I purchased the "Lit" 24/7 Eyeshadow Pencil and the Lush Lash System! What did you purchase? Are you on a spending freeze until Fall collections? I wanted to share with you all my favorite summer songs. I am really into music (it's my other passion besides blogging!) so I thought I would help you hang ten in style (or just look hot, whatever.)<br />

(Courtesy of Bumble & Bumble)Personally blow-dryers scare me. I always picture me using one, thinking everything is fine - FRIZZ CENTRAL! I don't even own one right now I'm <i>that</i> terrified. I let my hair air dry and am waiting to buy a good blowdryer. I know most of you struggle with time and need blowdryer tips (Lord knows I do!) so here are some fantastic ones that are based on the shape of your brush (how smart!) Thanks Bumble & Bumble!<br />

</div><div>Shampoo, and then comb conditioner through hair. Rinse. Gently press out water with a towel, but don't scrub, roughen, or tangle. Comb a foundation product through (Prep or Tonic Lotion) to protect and detangle. Use a structure product like Styling Lotion to start building the style. Blow-dry at medium heat using fingers until most wetness is gone, establishing direction and lifting at the roots for body. Add more structure product for extra support if necessary. Work from front to back (or back to front) and roots to ends. Glide brush down ribbons of hair, pointing blow dryer in the same direction with steady strokes. Lay ends down carefully as you'd like them to fall. </div><div><br />

Comb a foundation product through (Prep or Tonic Lotion) to protect and detangle. Use a structure product like Thickening Hairspray to start building the style. Blow-dry at medium heat using fingers until most wetness is gone, establishing direction and lifting at the roots for body. Add more structure product for extra support if necessary. Work from front to back (or back to front) and roots to ends. Scoop hair from underneath and roll brush down ribbons of hair, pointing blow dryer in the same direction with steady strokes. For extra volume around crown, pin ribbons of hair in a barrel-shape curl and let cool. Lay ends down carefully as you'd like them to fall.</div></div><div><br />

I love bright lips way more than I love defined eyes. Most people thought I was a little crazy not having a slew of nudes in my lipstick collection because of my medium skin and dark hair.. now look who was right all along! I absolutely love this trend and have been supporting it long before it even was a trend! Am I famous yet? (Kidding, of course.) Check out the photos and I will explain how to achieve these looks!<br />

(sorry I've been M.I.A!)I have been a horrible blogger lately! I'm sorry I've been missing in action for almost a month. Here are my top picks for summer! I am going crazy over these. Hope everyone had a great weekend! Mine was filled with Sephora hauling and reviewing on Sephora. I've been enjoying the part of Sephora.com that is known as BEAUTYTALK with other ladies. I've become pretty into offering my advice on that part of Sephora, please be friendly and say hi if you see me! <b>I know what I'm talking about!</b> (<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">Katiebella0x</span>)<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">1) <b>Guerlain Terracotta Skin Healthy Glow Foundation in 02 Brunettes, $49</b> This color is perfect for tanned beauties (which I imagine most of you become this time of year!) I love Guerlain and I never think twice about splurging on their items. Such a winner for summer (wish it had SPF though!) Guerlain describes it in detail.. "This hybrid foundation perfects the skin with the sheer coverage of a powder. The Terracotta Skin texture is extremely creamy, owed to a blend of powders and volatile oils combined with an elastomer gel. In just a few seconds, its texture melts into the skin to reveal a healthy-looking complexion."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">2) <b>Alterna Bamboo Smooth Kendi Oil Dry Oil Mist, $24 </b>I have mildly frizzy curly hair naturally, and when I straighten it I have a good amount of fly-away hair. This mist is excellent for both taming my curls and decreasing frizz as well as a finishing spray to tame my hair and make it even shinier! This product also helps keep hair strong and smooth. "This double-duty formula can be used as both a deeply nourishing treatment that helps to repair split ends and environmental damage, and as a color protecting style primer. Made with strengthening organic bamboo and smoothing organic kendi oil, it banishes frizz and imparts intense shine while providing vital nutrients." SUCH A WIN, THANKS ALTERNA!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">3) <b>Clarins Instant Smooth Self Tanning, $32.50 </b>This self tanner is wonderful and I use it along with my HG self tanner, St. Tropez. I adore this formulation and I don't mind the smell whatsoever. The benefit of this self tanner is that it has an "instant smoothing effect." Acacia Micro-Pearls: Absorb moisture to plump up, filling in lines and wrinkles while diminishing their length and depth. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">4) <b>Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh, $85</b> This fragrance is described as "A whimsical interpretation of the original Daisy fragrance, this scent is more fruity, more bubbly, more fun! Open the bottle and you'll be transported to a field of sunshine that bursts with the flirty scent of flowers and the cheerful sweetness of fruits. Its light, woody base infuses a subtle but sharp glimmer of musk for an unexpected twist of radiance." They weren't kidding! With notes of Natural Raspberry, Grapefruit, Pear, Violet, Wild Rose, Apple Blossom, Musks, Cedarwood, and Plum it really does make you feel exhilarating, bubbly, and playful!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">5) <b>Yves Saint Laurent MASCARA VOLUME EFFET FAUX CILS Mascara, $30 </b>This is my favorite mascara EVER. I am in love with this stuff! All you need is one coat and your lashes are showstoppingly gorgeous. "Yves Saint Laurent MASCARA VOLUME EFFET FAUX CILS Luxurious Mascara achieves an intense, dramatic lash look in a single stroke, for lashes that stop traffic with the blink of an eye. Its secret is the Triple-Film Complex: a film-coating for intensity, a conditioning film for curve, and a fixing film for long-lasting effectiveness." They totally know what's up. I love you YSL.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">6) <b>Escada Taj Sunset, $72</b> I am in love with Escada to begin with and this limited fragrance is no exception. "Discover Taj Sunset, Escada's limited-edition fragrance for 2011. A scent of tropical sensuality, it opens with a burst of citrusy blood orange and the exotic, fruity aroma of the Alphonso mango—the first fragrance to capture this unique note. Next, floral and fruity heart notes emerge, including watery blossom, sweet primrose, and raspberry. The scent lingers on a sexy, beach-inspired base of coconut cream, musky notes, and sandalwood. This fragrance takes you on an exotic and sensual adventure, evoking a summer spent in Goa, the region in southern India known for seducing visitors with stunning beaches, white sand, and a feeling of relaxed warmth." Top notes are Alphonso Mango, Blood Orange, Watery Blossom, Sweet Primrose, Raspberry, Coconut Cream, Musk, and Sandalwood. Seductive for sure <3</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">7) <b>Evian Mineral Water Spray, $10</b> This is a summer ESSENTIAL. You need this! Ever spray a bottle of water on your face to refresh your makeup because you're dying of heat? It leaves huge droplets of water and smudges your makeup. This product distrubutes an even layer of mineral water to create a dewy complexion and extend life of makeup! "At work: Evian's delightful cool mist rehydrates skin suffering from overheated or dry office air. It also revives your makeup throughout the day, and keeps you looking fresh by replenishing that much needed moisture. At play: A cleansing mist of Evian Mineral Water Spray removes perspiration, harmful salt or chlorine, and instantly soothes and rehydrates sun-burned or wind-chapped skin." </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">8)<b> Make Up For Ever Aqua Waterproof Lipliner in 16C & 17C, $17 </b>This lipliner is a godsend. It lines effortlessly, lasts through eating and drinking and even swimming! I am addicted to these bright juicy colors for summer. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">9) <b>Yves Saint Laurent VOLUPTÉ SHEER CANDY in 04 Succulent Pomegranate, $30</b> This lip color is amazing in all forms. Moisturizing, smells like mango and passion fruit, leaves a gorgeous pink stain on the lips and wears relatively well. This product is a Sephora exclusive for a little while longer and all stores are sold out! "This balm dresses your lips in a sheer veil of brilliant color boosted with vitamin- and antioxidant-rich fruit extract. Its ultra-light, sensual texture leaves lips feeling soft and hydrated for up to eight hours and is ideal for year-round use." I want more colors honestly!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">10) <b>Boscia B.B. Cream SPF 27 PA++, $38</b> This is insane. It's such a complex product. Asia is huge on beauty balms and the US finally jumped on the bandwagon. The sun protection ALONE is worth the $38! Such a broad spectrum of protection; Bravo Boscia! I use moisturizer underneath it and a primer but the results look so flawless and natural. "This oil-free cream creates a lustrous, flawless finish as it hydrates, firms, and soothes the skin. It helps to diminish the appearance of pores, fine lines, and uneven skintone while providing long-wearing, natural coverage that conceals imperfections." It only comes in one color that is only suitable for medium tones, unfourtunately. I'm sure Boscia will release more color options soon.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">11) <b>Urban Decay The Quinceañera Bag, $26 </b>This bag is the shit (excuse my language but no other word compares) in every form of the word. "In honor of Urban Decay's big 15, this makeup bag was named after the 15th birthday extravaganzas thrown for girls in Latin American cultures. Its open shape holds plenty of makeup and the double gold zipper opens on three sides so you won't spend forever rifling through your bag. The interior features a clear zippered pocket for your most treasured items, as well as satin inserts that keep your makeup in place. It packs easily into just about any suitcase, so take it with you on your next adventure. What else you need to know: If you want to keep this PVC-coated bag looking pretty, clean with a damp cloth occasionally." This bag is BEAUTIFUL, especially in person. The inside is so easy to clean and the beauty of it is it is HUGE! I can fit so much in there and it gives me peace of mind inside my Louis Vuitton bag. I don't want anything spilling out and this ensures that nothing will :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">12) <b>Lorac LORAC TANtalizer® Award Show Glow, $32</b> This product is a showstopper when it comes to your legs. Cellulite is the worst and it basically is unavoidable, at least for me (I work out every day and that stuff doesn't budge!) but this product helps my legs look firmer and glowy. Love this so much. "The luminizing formula has a luxurious grapefruit vanilla fragrance to awaken your spirits with a sweetly seductive scent. Slimming and shimmering bronzed skin is only a spray away. Get the professional makeup artist secret to how Hollywood fakes a tan, toned, flawless figure!" </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I hope you enjoyed my summer faves ;-)</div>Katiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01272189323550973412noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789645054852202230.post-40197041762010125272011-05-13T10:52:00.000-07:002011-05-14T09:08:16.163-07:00Sephora haul!I had SUCH a good time at the Sephora in Boston, MA @ the Prudential. I love that Sephora because it is massive and the staff is phenomenal! I literally get lost in there and end up with 1 or more baskets hanging off my arm filled with stuff that I can't put down. I usually shop online but I made an exception and I'm glad I did.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Let me tell you about these products. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">(Left to right) <b>Bumble & Bumble thickening hairspray</b> is amazing! It really gives my hair a ton of volume. I bought it for my mum and I hope she loves it like I do. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Bumble & Bumble surf spray</b> is seriously my new addiction. A couple sprays and my hair is instantly transformed into a beach day with ocean mist going through it. I love how it seperates my hair and makes it wavy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Oscar Blandi volumizing dry shampoo spray</b> is a GODSEND. This stuff smells a little funky, not gonna lie, but it works amazingly well. I wash my hair every other day so this dry shampoo comes in handy. I use it in conjunction with the surf spray and it looks beautiful.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Nars pure matte lipstick in Carthage</b> is my new summer favorite. I call it "hawaii in a tube." I have a review below on it because I love it so much. Check it out.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Bliss fabulous foaming face wash</b> is fantastic. I used it this morning and my skin felt great during and after I washed with it. I followed with the toner I bought and the moisturizer I also bought. I really love this stuff even though it has a trace amount of parabens. I can deal.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Fresh Rose Marigold floral water</b> is the best toner I've ever used. It smells beautiful and tightens up skin instantly. I love using this right after I wash my face and whenever I need a refresher.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Nars sharpener</b> is great for my Make Up For Ever eyeliners as well as my Nars lip pencils. Super functional!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqQjm8G_QUNGGrwxnS0y-AkZr9NHOn7QAhlRctBaimlzuRnQNXziVs_JED9E7MzAYoo0mVxTbQCRWKLTrvP1GqLohhu8Qg0PUhvlKM1pRgYGcC67EKhSHSJwSXCXfTBPGQTYOqyBnv0lU/s1600/IMG_0742.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="373" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqQjm8G_QUNGGrwxnS0y-AkZr9NHOn7QAhlRctBaimlzuRnQNXziVs_JED9E7MzAYoo0mVxTbQCRWKLTrvP1GqLohhu8Qg0PUhvlKM1pRgYGcC67EKhSHSJwSXCXfTBPGQTYOqyBnv0lU/s400/IMG_0742.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Bliss Oxygen Blast Set</b> is a fantastic deal that I got. The Bliss website (www.blissworld.com) has the cream and the mask together for $94.. I got this for $84 and it came with the eye pads. I really love this set so far! The oxygen has a lot of promises and it has good ratings. I used the cream this morning and it was so lightweight it was unbelievable.. I think they meant to call it a "gel" but somehow forgot to write it on the bottle.. nothing cream about it! Perfect for summer as long as you remember to apply SPF to your face as this has none. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Make Up For Ever Sens'Eyes remover</b> is the ultimate make up remover. This is the most comfortable, non oily and most moisturizing remover out there. I highly suggest this!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I am totally skincare and hair obsessed lately, can you tell?! I'm so excited to use all of the products I just got and I think I'm all stocked up for summer! I think it's really important to have a skin care regimen, especially in your early 20s (prevention is everything.) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>ENJOY YOUR WEEKENDS!</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I had seen swatched images from other beauty bloggers - however nothing compared to seeing it in person. This shade is part of the Nars Summer 2011 selection and it's seriously gorgeous! Some bloggers have said it has blue tones but I honestly don't see it. I find it wearable both when I have lighter skin or when I self tan so it's safe to say all skintones will look great with this shade. I'm pretty warm toned and blue undertones usually look terrible on me but this is pretty neutral. I feel really confident and happy when I wear this color.. it reminds me of the sweetest days and nights of summer!<br />
<br />
I love the wear of the lipstick; it applies like a matte would but it doesn't sink into your lips in an unflattering way. The color is vibrant and pigmented for 4 hours before it starts wearing off! I honestly love this formula for lipstick, I find it a lot better than the original Nars lipsticks which usually give me 2 hours of wear before I need to reapply. This color is perfect for summer and for hot months as I don't see it budging while you play on the beach! Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do :)<br />

Highlighters, or luminizers, are mostly known for being a disco ball of glitter. I have been searching everywhere to find the perfect highlighter, and I think I found it!<br />

I roamed into my local Sephora a couple months back and was doing my usual browsing. I was in a really bad mood and I wasn't finding anything close to what I was looking for (my dream highlighter of course!) and it was really getting me down. I walked over to the Benefit section, and low and behold - a Benefit rep! I have never seen a company representative in my Sephora (or any Sephora) and I was really excited to speak with her. She was beyond informative and showed me a bunch of products that I enjoyed; however I was hooked on Girl Meets Pearl once she put it on my cheeks. "See, you're a girl meets pearl girl for sure!" she exclaimed as she showed me what I looked like in the mirror she was holding. Whoa.. that was from <i>just that? </i>My face was lit up and glowing, but not in a glittery way. My skin looked dewy and caught light easily. The smell of this highlighter is so delicious, honestly I wish there was a perfume with the scent. My friend who was with me at the time was excited to try it next, and of course<b> </b>- it looked just as good on her very light complexion. I am forever grateful to the wonderful Benefit rep for showing me this treasure of a product.<br />

I remember watching the show when I was really young (What up 1992!) and I died when I saw this MAC collection! Mighty Aphrodite blush and Spitfire lipstick are my absolute favorites and honestly I'm pretty bummed out I can't purchase Spitfire or Mighty Aphrodite blush again. The size of the blush is almost a half oz, and for MAC that is definitely super size. The color payoff from both products is absolutely amazing! I use the two together very frequently.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love the giant mirror, and the coloring of the package is adorable as well. The colors are described as a "satin frost" and I agree. The smaller, darker pink color is matte and deep. The larger color is peachy/coral shimmery pink and it takes up most of the pan. I usually just swirl my blush brush around and apply to my cheeks (it might be too difficult to use one color alone unless it's the frosty color.) Overall this blush is one of my favorites, especially for the upcoming summer months. Personally, I like this more than Guerlain Rouge G blush which was also supposed to be very popular this spring season.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Spitfire is my #1 lipstick right now. I am so hooked on this plummy, gorgeous color. It compliments dark hair very well. This formulation is 'satin' and it is extremely longwearing. If you can, go grab this color before it's completely gone. I highly suggest it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I recently lost a relative so I was healing from that. I have so much to swatch and talk about! This warm weather is making me crave bright, juicy color. I need to gather my thoughts and then I will post over 100 new cosmetics and products that I myself have bought. I currently am receiving no free product and I still manage to grab the stuff I want to share with all of you. I just love you all that much!<br />
