My Recent Ulta Haul 2008-03-07 09:19:00 While out shopping the other day, I decided to stop off at Ulta and take a look at what they had to offer. I don't have an Ulta store close to me so I had to drive almost an hour to get to one. I must say I was not impressed with this particular Ulta store I visited. The store itself was nicely layed out with room to walk up and down the aisles. The last Ulta I had been in was really cramped and it was hard to find anything. So this was a nice surprise to see when I entered through the doors. What I had a problem with, were the counters where you can sit to try out makeup, they were filthy! They had no disposable applicators for the lip glosses, so you could you try them out. Makeup residue was left all over the counter as well. Kleenex was available to wipe your hands but I had to hunt do Read more:Recent

My Chic Things 2008-03-04 10:08:00 You know, I love fashion/accessories almost as much as I love makeup. I also love to shop online and as a busy mother and housewife I don't have time to go to the malls that are jam-packed with wall to wall people. I like to shop in the comfort of my own home without the pressures of pushy sales people and standing in long lines at the checkout counter. Besides that, I don't have to worry about what time the stores close because online shopping is available 24/7.So when I find unique and fashionable websites that offer trendy products at affordable prices, I like to share them with all my friends. One that stands out among the crowd is a boutique called My Chic Things. At My Chic Things you will find unique gift items for everyone, from the hard to buy for, all the way down to the easy per

Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse OR 2008-03-01 18:05:00 Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse OR is one of my favorite body oils that I use all year long, moreso in the summer though, to enhance my tan or to give my skin an added glow. This oil is an illuminating, sublimating treatment for face, body and hair. The gold liquid imparts a subtle sheen to your cheeks, decollete, shoulders, arms, and legs. It's infused with ultra-fine gold colored pearly particles and an intoxicating blend of exceptional botanical oils (Borage, Sweet Almond, St John's Wort, and Camellia Oils). It moisturizes and soothes the skin plus it's an antioxidant protector. I love how it makes my skin feel as well as look like satin. It's not a greasy oil and will not leave your skin feeling like an oil slick. You can also use it in your hair, but I have not been that brave yet to do so. Ev

New At Home Teeth Whitener 2008-03-10 06:07:00 Your smile is one of your best assets. Not having healthy white teeth can really make one feel self conscious about themselves and how they look. Some people smile with their mouths closed because they are embarassed by the color of their teeth. Do you hesitate to smile because of the appearance of your teeth? Today there are so many over the counter whitening treatments available that can do a pretty decent job of making teeth white. The only downside is that it can take up to 2-3 weeks to really see a difference. Well I have just found a new whitening system called Luster that is not only affordable.$39.99, but is also 100% guaranteed to work. It makes your teeth noticeably whiter with just one use. Here's what it says:"Luster Whitening products have been proven to whiten teeth up to six

My French Manicure 2008-03-17 10:36:00 Ladies, now no laughing ok? You have to hear me out. I never would have believed this but a few weeks ago while doing some quick shopping at Walmart I decided to check out the cosmetic aisles. While looking up and down at everything, and if you know me, I do look at everything, haha, I spotted some nice looking french manicured acrylics by KISS. I kind of laughed because I for one would never buy something like this. Why, well maybe because I just think they are cheapy and tacky looking. Anyway, while scanning the rows of nails I happened to see the words Self Stick. I thought ya right, who is going to be that gullible to think these things work or even remotely resemble real nails. Then I gazed further down and my eyes caught the KISS Acrylic Custom Fit french manicured tips for toes! Yes Read more:French

Mac Fafi Review! 2008-03-18 06:15:00 Talk about cute packaging, isn't this adorable? I think it is. It's graffiti artwork done by Fafi. If you are wondering who Fafi is, she is a graffiti artist from France. You can read her biography at Fafi.net.I am going to be reviewing 2 lipsticks, Utterly Frivolous, Fun'N'Sexy as well as a lipglass, Squeeze It.In this collection you will see lots of pinks and bright fun girly colors.Fun'N'Sexy is the perfect name for this lippie. Just let me warn you though, at first glance, this bright fuchsia color, might scare you off. You might get a flashback of the 80's like I did when I first saw it. But I can assure you, what you see is not what you get. Mac describes this shade as a blue pink with blue pearl(glaze). You can actually see these tiny blue glitter sparkles throughout.
