Vincent Longo Review 2008-04-18 06:33:00 I have to thank a dear friend of mine, Lina, a makeup artist from Miami, for encouraging me to step outside of my comfort zone and experiment with new colors that I had deemed taboo for my complexion. One thing you must know, I have golden bronze skin, with yellow undertones, so anything that is considered a cool color like pink for instance is a big no no for me.While browsing in Sephora, we scoured the shelves, to find the perfect shades of lipstick, lipgloss and of course, lip pencil for me. After trying numerous cosmetic brands and swatching colors on the back of our hands, we finally found what we were looking for. Enter...Vincent
Longo cosmetics.These were the very first products I tried from Vincent Longo and I can't find one thing negative to say about them. The products that I pu

Does your hair lay flat against your head looking lifeless and dull? Would you like take your hair from flat to fabulous in no time at all?

Alterna Life Volumizing Spray Mousse.My hair stylist introduced me to this mousse a few months ago and I have been a fan of it ever since. It's a humidity resistant, light weight dry foam mousse, that gives my fine, limp hair, dramatic body and long lasting volume. I have tried just about everything over the years to add body and volume to my hair, and nothing, and I mean nothing has worked quite like this product has.

Giorgio Armani Face Fabric 2008-04-27 09:01:00 I recently received a sample of Giorgio Armani
's face fabric foundation and wow this stuff is amazing! I don't think I have ever tried a foundation that was as weightless as this one. It reminds me of mousse because it's so creamy and velvety. Once applied it literally disappeared onto my skin and left my complexion looking flawless, almost like it had been airbrushed. You can't even tell that you are wearing foundation, that's how natural it looks. It's also silicone-based, which helps to smooth out those fine lines and imperfections that we begin to accumulate as we age.This would be a great foundation to wear in the summer months as it is somewhat like a tinted moisturizer. It's lightweight and the coverage is buildable.I must say Giorgio Armani

Hello Sugar!! 2008-04-29 13:32:00 Hello Sugar
Totally Absorbed Shimmer LotionIf you are a frequent reader of my blog then you know I am a foodie scent lover. I purchased this lotion last week from Bath and Body Works and I must say this is one of the most delicious lemon smelling lotions that I have come across. The scent reminds me of a lemon pound cake or a lemon sugar cookie. I had some serious sugar cravings after inhaling this stuff. LOLThe lotion absorbs well and leaves a pleasant scent but I found it to have a little too much shimmer for me. I love the scent, but hate the shimmer.I don't think I will be repurchasing this lotion again but I would love to try out some of the other products in this line though. It is limited edition and from what the sales girl told me, it will sell out fast.Bath & Body Works
