COVERGIRL SHADOWBLAST/SHINEBLAST REVIEW

I received a CoverGirl sample package that included one Shadowblast eyeshadow in onyx smoke and also a shineblast in 805.
I liked the eyeshadow a lot, especially the ease of application. A warning to those who do not like shimmer in their makeup this product is not for you. Loved the lip gloss as well. It wasn't sticky and was a nice sheer natural color. Perfect for the Summer.

ALL THINGS BEIGE

I've been on a mission for months to find the perfect pair of patent leather beige heels. With just the right sized heel and comfort. Unfortunately, just when I think I've found them, they are sold out.

I did get lucky a few days ago when I finally found a pair online at Aldo. I received my shipment today and cannot be happier. They are the perfect color & size heel. I can't say anything about the comfort yet because I haven't worn them out.

 Another item I have searched for is the perfect beige shirt dress and I found it at Calvin Klein. It looks much better on the body than it does on the hanger. Hugs your curves in just the right places.

CLOSET ENVY

Onto the subject of Dream closets. When our house was being built from the ground up. I was only concerned with how big my walk-in closet was going to be. After looking at a few Celebrity closets. I clearly set my goal too low.
Kidding!

Mariah Carey's Closet is a mere 12,000 square feet. That's larger than most houses!

These women are beaming in every picture taken in their closet.

Does this suggest the key to happiness is a big closet?

Men take notes.

Now for some eye candy...

TO MATTE OR NOT TO MATTE? THAT IS MY DILEMMA.

Although I rarely paint my nails these days. I do have an affection for nail polish. Preferably the shiny kind. So what's the story with these matte shades?  I'm not yet sure if this is a trend I will be following.

For you Nail-O-Holics out there. Here are a few websites dedicated to all things nails.

If you happen to like the matte look. No need to go out and buy new shades. Nubar makes a matte finish protector $8.99. Goes on as a topcoat and voila! Instant matte nails.

*Note:  I'm loving lace nails right now! Can't wait to try it. Be careful though, because it sounds like the adhesive used to glue the lace to the nail may be damaging to the top layer.

WHO CAN FORGET THIS TUTU?

A recent glance at my sisters New Year pictures reminded me of a certain tutu. Recognize it?  Well, somehow, she bought an awesome dress very similar to the original one Carrie wore.

I had to Google the famous Tutu. Turns out plenty of designer's were inspired. Many different styles have been created since then and I've fallen in love with a certain Lame' and Tulle embroidered $15,000 Ralph Lauren dress. A girl can dream can't she?

Even Celeb's like Scarlett Johansson have worn Tutu inspired frocks to red carpet events. Not so crazy about this one.



 

This is the longer version Carrie wore in season 6.
I love the sea foam color! It's my personal favorite.

There are so many different designs. I had to post a few more.

What do you think?

  Last but not least.

I hope she doesn't kill me, but I had to post my sisters dress.
Unfortunately, the camera does it no justice.

YOU SHOULDN'T NEGLECT YOUR LASHES

Being the Buzz Agent that I am. I just had to share one of L'Oreal's newest products "Lash boosting serum".
I received a free lash boosting kit from L'Oreal. The package included one double extend mascara with serum on one end and mascara on the other. Very convenient. Also, a full sized package of Lash boosting serum.
Now this is a L'Oreal lash boosting 4-week challenge I'm participating in. I'm only one week in but I will say I love how the serum moisturizes my lashes before I put on the double extend Mascara. In my opinion, it has definitely prevented breakage.
