REVIEW: Sally Hansen Pore Minimizing Invisible Powder Treatment 2008-06-10 07:17:32 During my trip I also managed to grab this new SallyHansen
product which also caught my eye. Its supposed to be a translucent powder that can be worn alone or used to set makeup. It's purpose is to mattify the skin and minimize the appearance of pores. Product Description: "Transforming Loose Powder

REVIEW: Sally Hansen Line Smoothing Airbrush Primer 2008-06-10 07:14:42 I'm an avid lover of SallyHansen
's Airbrush Legs product, but had mixed feelings when they first introduced their Airbrush Makeup line a few years ago. Well I just noticed that they have added the Airbrush Primer to the line, so I decided to give it a try. For starters, just like their Airbrush Makeup, this is NOT an item that is sprayed directly onto your face. You actually have to spray i
REVIEW: Physician's Formula Talc-Free Mineral Wear™ Mineral Loose Powder 2008-06-10 06:57:53 In my past few trips to the drugstore I had been itching to pick this item up. As you all know I am probably the only beauty blogger that HASN'T jumped on the mineral makeup bandwagon just yet. I just have such mixed feelings about it, it's almost like something I am so curious about but I am too much of a punk to try it out. I just for some reason love my regular foundations and their full covera Read more:Powder

Mascaras Take On A Whole New Spin...Literally 2008-06-15 16:11:51 As you know and as I have mentioned before, I am the ultimate test dummy for any mascara out there that is willing to give me the lashes that I have always wanted.

FAVE ALERT: Estée Lauder Re-Nutriv Sun Supreme SPF 15 Creme 2008-06-15 12:03:30 I usually consider myself to be a lucky girl. But when it comes to beauty products, that's where I can brag about being fortunate! I always get my hands on the items I want and the items I need, and trust me that if it's sold out, I will find a way to get my hands on it. Rarely does an item get passed me that I am interested in.

I went suttle with the eyes only because this was a daytime look but I plan to go much more intense in the next FOTD for a night-time party look. As for the lips, I actually mixed two lipsticks and topped it off with a Dazzleglass for the b
M.A.C. Cool Heat Recap & Review 2008-06-23 21:24:27 Before I start, my apologies for being super late on this review. For starters I ended up ordering the items from MAC online instead of my usual trip to the store and then when I finally got it in the mail I became bombarded with random life plans and was super busy (actually I still am!).
