LUSH Cupcake Fresh Face Mask Review
LUSH Cupcake Fresh Face Mask ($7.95 for 2.6 oz.) is one of Lush's quick and easy face masks that you can purchase in-store (because they're just *that* fresh). Cupcake is designed for oily, more acne-prone skin. According to the label, Rhassoul mud cleanses and soothes skin, while several other...
Aromatherapy Optimism - Bright Blossoms Sudsing Scrub Review
Aromatherapy Optimism - Bright Blossoms Sudsing Scrub Review
Aromatherapy Optimism - Bright Blossoms Sudsing Scrub ($13.00) is a body scrub that foams up while exfoliating the skin. It smells like jasmine and spring to me. It contains small sugar grains that help you exfoliate your skin. A lot of exfoliating products don't foam up, so it's nice to see one...
Crabtree & Evelyn Relaxing Body Lotion Review
Crabtree & Evelyn Relaxing Body Lotion Review
Crabtree & Evelyn Relaxing Body Lotion ($19.50 for 8.5 fl. oz.) is a really nice blend of lavender and chamomile essential oils, which are both scents known to help relax/calm you. I love to use this on my legs and arms a half hour before I get into bed, because it helps me remember to take time...

Do you wear makeup even when you're not feeling well? Or does makeup help make you look less sick?

I'm achy, coughing, and feel yuck--so I generally avoid wearing makeup unless I really, really have to! :) . .

Chanel Cote d'Azur Collection Lipstick Photos, Swatches
Last week, I shared lip swatches from Chanel's Cote d'Azur Collection designed for the summer season. Here are photos and skin swatches of the new lipsticks and glosses featured in this launch. :)
Look - Beige Nudes with Deep Blues
Look - Beige Nudes with Deep Blues
This look is from yesterday :) It's pretty simple, and I had originally intended to wear one of Colour Ready's bright lipsticks with it, but it definitely did *not* look good with a super bright lip. I can't figure out why the cheeks stand out so much in pictures, because they SO didn't in real...

I give myself two chances to do eye makeup, whether or not I'm re-doing it or trying something else after a failed attempt at one look! If I don't succeed on attempt #2, then I say forget it! :) . .

MAC Viva Glam VI SE Lipstick
MAC Viva Glam VI SE Lipstick
MAC recently launched Viva Glam VI Lipstick in a Special Edition to line up with Fergie as their spokesperson for the Viva Glam campaign. Some people have been finding this color to run a little on the purple side, but it runs mostly pink on me. Like many of the other VG lipsticks/lipglasses, the...

Look - Chanel Cote d'Azur Summer Quad
Look - Chanel Cote d'Azur Summer Quad
This was my attempt to make Chanel's summer quad work for me, and to be honest, while it came out fine in the end... it was far too much work. I also feel there wasn't nearly enough color variation to merit keeping the quad, so I'll be returning it on my next trip to the mall (Thursday, for Colour...

Yes and no. I want to know certain things like big errors, but little mistakes... only if I'm able to fix 'em! :) . .

Look - All Matte & Neutral
I wore this look yesterday to have lunch with my mom and sister :) My mom seemed to really love this look on me -- she said everything just complemented each other. She rarely comments on my makeup, so maybe there's something to what she said, ha!
Happy Friday! I hope you all have some fun weekend...

Kings & Queens: Royal Favorites Set
Kings & Queens is a body care line I've seen carried at Nordstrom, but the price of their products isn't what you'd expect from Nordstrom. Seriously, if I can get out of Nordstrom without spending $100+, it's been a very good day! They've just created a set of their awesome shower gels for guess...
