Aerin Lauder

Aerin Beauty Limited Edition Lip Gloss in Perfect Nude $30.00

I love limited edition beauty products. So much. There is really nothing better than getting your hands on some little limited edition beauty item that you know will likely never resurface. This is one of those things. Continue reading

Tanning my Heart Out

Tan Towel Half Body Classic Fair/Medium Skin Tanning Towels $17.00

So, my post from yesterday was about self tanners, and the current hunt I am on to find the perfect one, since tanning beds are not an option (duh!) and a beach vacation is not in my future. Nevertheless,  I’ve been feeling somewhat super pale, not just winter pale, but pale just like the winter I didn’t go outside during my second year of law school and I developed a Vitamin D deficiency, that kind of pale.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Crush $8.99

So what brought me to this was a) a random walk on Christmas Day and b) I wanted a cheaper version of Clinique’s Chubby Stick because well, they seemed to me at least as the same product so I figured why not save a few bucks. Continue reading

Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream $19.00 & $10.00

I’ve had this eye cream for a while, but never consistently used it. I was trying to finish up my current eye cream first. But last week, after a few really late nights, poor eating and generally putting my body through the worst of it, I really needed something to work on the under eye puffiness and bags that were beginning to develop.

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment SPF 15 in Passion & Rose $ 22.50

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatments are pretty rad. The consistency is spot on- somewhere between thick like frosting and smooth like butter. Moisturizing and providing a nice level of SPF. But these colors, Oh these colors, don’t get me started. Continue reading

Nars Lipstick in Heat Wave $24.00

I promise the Lipstick Challenge will not be totally dominated by Nars, but today when I woke up unusually at 4am. I felt that the only thing to pull me out of bed, really pull me out of bed was the promise of a super bright lip. Continue reading

100% Pure French Lavender Hydrating Body Wash $15.00

I have a few things by 100% Pure and I love them, though their body washes never really did intrigue me. Foaming, hydrating whatever, those promises were not enough. Continue reading

Ojon Rare Blend Oil Total Hair Therapy $35.00

I use a lot of multitasking oils for my hair and body and I use a lot of oils specifically marketed for hair and skin. But most of the time I don’t put oil in my  hair when I am not about to wash it out, you see I only use oils as deep conditioners. So you can see that I was a bit hesitant to use this on dry hair.
