I always hated the idea of dishing out hundreds of dollars for an authentic Louis, because they make SUCH good fakes nowadays, and everyone would probably just assume that mine was a knock off....Well I have come to terms with the idea that people can think what they want, and that I would FEEL absolutely amazing carrying a beauty like that (real of course). Although there are many beautiful models of LV bags, and although word on the street is that hobo bags are on their way out, I am drawn toward the gorgeous slouchy care-free nature of the speedy handbag. I also love the idea that simply placing a cardboard piece in the bottom can create a more structured look, should I ever feel more neat and tidy with my bags. I, like many girls, absolutely need a larger bag, ergo my first dilemna. The speedy 30 is probably big enough.....but is it BIG enough? The 35 is sort of inbetween....but if i'm going to go for that size, should I just go all the way and go for the 40? This is where I need help from all you speedy owners....give me your input :)</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-DDNtUpJAjVE/TWlHF4JT49I/AAAAAAAAAO8/nKhKUyoiWXU/s1600/monogram.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><img border="0" height="320" l6="true" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-DDNtUpJAjVE/TWlHF4JT49I/AAAAAAAAAO8/nKhKUyoiWXU/s320/monogram.jpg" width="263" /></span></a></div><span style="color: #4c1130;">The last dilemna....of course.....is the print. Now I do love the bright colorful prints of the multicolour, and grafitti bags, but they are wayyyyy out of my price range. I have narrowed it down to 2 beauties. The monogram canvas, and the damier azur. Monogram canvas is classic and lovely, can be worn through all seasons, and when the straps start to tan, it doesn't offset the bag, as it matches the dark leather on the body.</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-A3SG2O4qau0/TWlH8dodlnI/AAAAAAAAAPA/-oFqWS93Rqg/s1600/azur.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><img border="0" height="320" l6="true" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-A3SG2O4qau0/TWlH8dodlnI/AAAAAAAAAPA/-oFqWS93Rqg/s320/azur.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="color: #4c1130;">The azur however, is just gorgeous. The crip light print is perfect for spring and summer, and I am always drawn to lighter clothing and sccessories to offset my dark hair (does that even make sense? lol.) This is the perfect bag for me, except for one thing. When the straps tan, they get darker and darker, and eventually it looks really really awkward against the light print of the bag. So any suggestions as to how to keep the straps light, would be much appreciated, and would make my decision much easier. </span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130;"><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130;">So in summary, what are your favourite LV print/size combos? Maybe one I didn't mention?</span>Deanne5253http://www.blogger.com/profile/16603737131206683516noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706837555647486241.post-81896951889975049082011-02-21T18:08:00.000-08:002011-02-21T18:09:37.491-08:00tans and turtlenecks<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kPJ76JGC2d4/TWMSfiyKG5I/AAAAAAAAAOQ/keFidBd-0wk/s1600/Snapshot_20110221_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><img border="0" height="240" j6="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kPJ76JGC2d4/TWMSfiyKG5I/AAAAAAAAAOQ/keFidBd-0wk/s320/Snapshot_20110221_1.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">That very confusing time of year is quickly approaching. Yes you know the one, that time of year when there's still snow on the ground in many parts of the world, especially my infamous subzero town of Winnipeg; yet spring is quickly approaching and all the shops are being flooded with floral prints, pastels, and chiffon. As much as I feen for these items, and even dare to purchase, there is no way in the world that I actually dress my pasty white body in these soft coloured prints. Even in my safe go-to winter colours, I still look like Casper next to my Hawaii-bound parents who have been 'pre-tanning' for the last 2 weeks, and even whiter next to my newly-arrived friends from Cabo and St. Tropez. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">I wouldn't dare suscept my skin to the blazing lights of a tanning salon and rick pre-mature aging. And spending $50 a week on a perfectly airbrushed spray tan seems a little harsh on my senior-year university stricken wallet. My solution? Friends.....I give you, the best of the best of the self-tanners. This post was inspired by Carly Cristman, who did a youtube post on her favourite tanners. I, too, have been a slave to the drugstore tanner. I, too, have tried every make, brand, and style of self tanner under $30. I have even gone as far as mixing a rediculously dark foundation with moisturizer, slathered all over my legs, to deepen their tone for a new years party. *bows head in shame*</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">I have compiled a list of 4 of my absolute favourite self tanners, based on 4 completely different categories (you choose which would be most important to you in a self tanner....i think all of these things could be important) all of them give amazing colour, so they are listed by secondary characteristics :). Plus, one instant tanner, i.e. a one-night solution for bronzifying your bod.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">1. Best Scent</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y-h_fn20ycs/TWMSZ1HSpOI/AAAAAAAAAOM/j2f4W1K1I08/s1600/ambersun.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><img border="0" height="320" j6="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y-h_fn20ycs/TWMSZ1HSpOI/AAAAAAAAAOM/j2f4W1K1I08/s320/ambersun.jpg" width="157" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">Amber Sun by Norvell Self Tanning Lotion</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">This tanning lotion wins the title of best-smelling tanning lotion I have ever used. This is one of the more expensive ones, at about $25.00 a bottle. It features skin firming properties, gives a beautiful beachy tan colour, and applies just like your favourite body moisturizer. The smell of this product is a lovely cherry-almond scent, although the website says raspberry almond. What it really reminds me of is the old Jergens cherry almond scented moisturizer. I`m pretty sure at one point this was the only scent jergens offered, and it was amazing. This 251ml bottle could last anywhere from 1-3 months, depending on how often you use it. Bi-weekly use should get you about 2 months of use.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">2. Fastest Colour</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VnIw0lg7cXw/TWMUDKw-swI/AAAAAAAAAOU/zquQlNTGqtw/s1600/jergensexpress.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><img border="0" j6="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VnIw0lg7cXw/TWMUDKw-swI/AAAAAAAAAOU/zquQlNTGqtw/s1600/jergensexpress.bmp" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">Jergens Natural Glow Express</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">I never see the point in purchasing the "light" version of tanners because ideally, by purchasing a tanner, I am trying to become as tan as humanly possible from a lotion without looking like an oompa loompa; and so this is clearly in the medium/tan colour. I have a theory kicking in the back of my brain that tanning lotion companies make their packaging obnoxiously orange or bright so that when you hold it up to your orange tan, it won't look so orange, know what I mean? With this, I have no reason to believe that that is true, however, this product must be used with caution, for its powers are great. This lotion can deepen your colour by 2 shades with just one use, and give you a full on Cabo tan in about 3 or 4 days. That being said, you have to be extra careful with the application, especially around the fingers. The consistency is like a really thick moisturizer, and it does take a little wait to dry thoroughly, because you do not want to get this on your clothes, it will stain like a mutha mutha. Although this has a strong tanner smell to it, that's the giveaway that it actuallly works. It does come in a smaller size bottle, 120ml, but you don't need as much to get the results you want. I have even used this on my face, I have dry skin, and it has worked really well!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">3. Easiest application</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YsdAsgoaCX4/TWMVuMNWYnI/AAAAAAAAAOY/mIvp1k8CkOw/s1600/lorealaresol.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><img border="0" j6="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YsdAsgoaCX4/TWMVuMNWYnI/AAAAAAAAAOY/mIvp1k8CkOw/s1600/lorealaresol.jpg" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">Loreal Sublime Bronze Aresol Self Tannign Dry Mist</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">This stuff has been my holy grail for about 2 years now. It is rather inexpensive at wal-mart or your local drugstore, has a super super super easy aresol applicator that doesn't clog and gives a nice even flow, and gives a great colour within a few applications. This can will generally last me about a month, likely beacause It's just so dang easy to apply that I want to do it every day. I use this stuff on my face and I have no problems with zits or clogged pores or anything. The smell is tanner-y, but with this I usually apply it before bed; it dries quickly and sinks in and starts to develop within 5 hours. I highly recommend this if you've ever had problems with streakyness in your tanners and are skeptical of trying it again, this is as easy as it gets. Also, I find that it doesn't really affect my tile or flooring but I do usually stand over a bath mat, towel, or in the bathtub when I apply it, just in case!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">4. Most Luxurious-Feeling? (lol....category fail)</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aICdp5ZGkyo/TWMXw7tMnHI/AAAAAAAAAOc/ak7hWfHJ7jc/s1600/lorealgel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><img border="0" j6="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aICdp5ZGkyo/TWMXw7tMnHI/AAAAAAAAAOc/ak7hWfHJ7jc/s1600/lorealgel.jpg" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">Loreal Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Gel</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">Again, an inexpensive drug store item, this self tanner takes the cake when it comes to making my skin feel absolutely amazing. I used this last spring leading up to my birthday, to ensure I'd have an amazing tan under my crisp-white birthday dress. On the day of my birthday, I went for a body wrap spa treatment so that my skin would be silky smooth and smell amazing too, which involved exfoliating and wrapping me in this amazing moisturizing oil; while I was getting the treatment, the esthetician made a note to stop and talk to me about what I used on my skin for 10 minutes because it was so amazingly soft already! hehehe *blush*. I completely attest that to this tanning gel; it feels almost like a silica based makeup primer, and leaves your skin with that velvety smooth texture. Of course, it also gives an amazing glowy tan. I absolutely recommend this to anyone who loves having smooth skin.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">5. Favourite Instant Bronzer</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OSTcxlqqZI0/TWMY56hU89I/AAAAAAAAAOg/DDpgx_XljEE/s1600/lush.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><img border="0" j6="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-OSTcxlqqZI0/TWMY56hU89I/AAAAAAAAAOg/DDpgx_XljEE/s1600/lush.jpg" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">Lush Silk Stockings Massage Bar</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">These babies got me through every winter party I had to go to from Halloween (yes it is winter in october here in winnipeg) all the way to Easter (although not here yet, i know it will be winter, still, and i will be using them hehe). If you've never used Lush massage bars, they are basically a solid brick of delicious cocoa butter along with other moisturizers and conditioners, each with a unique scent or feature. They melt at anything warmer than room temperature, and soak right into your skin just like a moisturizer. Silk stockings has a delish cinamonny gingery spice scent and leaves a great bronzed shimmery tan look behind. The kind of bronzed shimmery tan look that you see on the legs of exotic models in the sports illustrated swimsuit issue. That being said, there is one unfortunate downfall of this product, and that is that it does tend to rub off on clothing, furniture, and other body party (i.e. if you rub your legs with your hands a lot, it will get on your hands, then you clutch, then your boyfriends shirt, etc.). So try to steer clear of this if you're sporting a particularily light colored outfit, or of you plan on doing a lot of sitting. I use this when i go out clubbing, to dinner parties (given that i wear a longer dress....knee length or so) and other events like that. It's not like a CRAZY rub off, but it's there. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130;">I see it every time I'm in Sephora. dozens of girls swarming the Sephora by OPI nail polish carousel to get their hands on the latest blogged-about shades. From Metro Chic to It's Bouquet With Me, bloggers have a way of making anything look and sound amazing; and if it's affordable even better! Sephora by OPI is a branch of OPI which I have been disappointed in time and time again, and with the new Glee collection coming out, along with some tantalizing summer colours, I had to get the word out about these babies. Now I'll admit, every time I wear Metro Chic in a video, I get a billion comments asking, begging me to reply what polish I'm wearing, and I always reluctantly reply "metro chic....but do NOT purchase this shade unless you absolutely can't find another similar one...it is awwwwful!" Let's continnue picking on Metro Chic, shall we? It takes about 4 coats to get this polish perfectly opaque....and let's face it.....you just can't wear greige in a streaky, thin manner can you? no. Once you've applied your lovely 4 coats, you sit and wait for-ev-er for it to dry completely. fewf. Now i'm the type of person who sloppily applies my nail polish before bed, and when i take a nice hot shower in the morning, all the crusty uneven edges that have dribbled over onto my cuticles and fingers are melted away. along with half my polish. You see, when you apply such a thick helping of nail polish, it chips much much more easily. I have tried nail ridge fillers, base coats, top coats, ands everything under the blue moon, but the only thing that seems to help this stay on any longer than one shower/bath/day of running my fingers through my hair or a text book, is a cement-worthy glitter coat; and I am SO not down with glitter all over my cool edgy grunge polish. So this spring when your sephora by opi is like "yo whats up, we all love glee, buy this nail polish" ....be like "no sephora by opi! yalls are a bunch of chippy chipping chippers!"</span>Deanne5253http://www.blogger.com/profile/16603737131206683516noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706837555647486241.post-88469703973255887162010-11-23T19:45:00.000-08:002010-11-25T22:11:55.524-08:00Tis The Season For Friends and Family Sales!<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So many of you are also followers of my youtube channel, and may have seen the haul video in which I purchased my very first La Roche Posay product, the foaming cleanser for combination skin (click here.... <a href="http://skincarerx.com/la-roche-posay.html">La Roche Posay</a> .......for a direct link to the cleanser).

Anywhoo, down to the nitty gritty, to keep this post short and sweet, I`ve caught wind of the skincarerx friends and family sale code, which will save you 25% on almost everything on the website SkinCareRx.com ! zomg.

Made with brandy and cranberries, this mask was detoxifying while nourishing my tired, snow-stricken face, and I looooved the smell, so you can only imagine my disappointment to see that they decided not to bring it back this year......but........</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;">I present to you: Buche De Noel, Lush's newest Limited Edition Facial Cleanser. Now if you've been reading my blog posts for a while, you might remember my rave about Angels on Bareskin, my absolute fave facial cleanser by Lush. [ click here if you haven't seen it yet: </span><a href="http://deanne5253.blogspot.com/2010/03/lush-angels-on-bareskin-cleanser.html"><span style="color: #4c1130;">http://deanne5253.blogspot.com/2010/03/lush-angels-on-bareskin-cleanser.html</span></a><span style="color: #4c1130;"> ] This is very similar in concept, but they have created it entirely around the basis of the Santa's Rice Porridge face mask! It smells like cherries and almond (LOVE), and applies exactly like Angels On Bareskin [again, click the link to see the application in more detail]. I've only been using this for two days, which is usually enough for me to decide if it's going to irritate my skin in any way, and it's unreal. I do suffer from a lot of redness in my skin, and find that this cleanser works better with my skin than products i've tried that are geared toward roseacia, including the clinique redness solutions. HIGHLY recommend, based on scent alone. OH and also, if you create a concauction of this stuff using more product and less water, i.e. more of a thick, paste type consistency, you can smear it on and leave it for about 5 minutes for a makeshift face mask :) LOVE! </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130;"></span></div>Deanne5253http://www.blogger.com/profile/16603737131206683516noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706837555647486241.post-44703917318467057362010-10-24T09:53:00.000-07:002010-10-24T09:54:08.215-07:005 Tips for Lovely Lush Face Masks<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">I am fully aware that I create a written blog post about once every 2 months, and they are almost always about skincare. Weird. However, as I was scraping the last of my Catastrophe Cosmetic out of its little black jar the other day, I thought, I wonder how many people only use these face masks as a face mask? These things expire so quickly, are people really putting 3-5 face masks on their faces in the span of a week? Any why wouldn't they? Labels like that can be so restricting on our creative minds. Here are a couple of tips and reminders on how to use your Fresh Lush Face Masks!</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">For reference, my faves are Catastrophe Cosmetic, Oatifix, and the LE Santa's Rice Porridge.</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">On my dislike list; Love Lettuce and Ayesha (only because of the smell, couldn't stand to keep these on my face for more than 3 minutes...but I know many people LIVE by love Lettuce.) </div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">1. Body Mask</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/TMRehePrtnI/AAAAAAAAANo/HYPqiVuMXjE/s1600/bodymask.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/TMRehePrtnI/AAAAAAAAANo/HYPqiVuMXjE/s1600/bodymask.jpg" /></a></div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This is probably the most obvious second use, but looking at that large jar and the quickly approaching expiry date, slap it on....allllllll over. Some of these face masks including Love Lettuce have little tiny granules in it that will also serve as a nice exfoliant. I love to use them on my legs....you can either stand around in the bathroom over a towel as it dries, or use it in the tub while leaving your arms/legs out of the water to dry. Or if all of this is a little too much for you, a simple rub on and rinse off in the shower will do just fine!</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">2. Spot Treatment</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/TMRfYEXB6lI/AAAAAAAAANs/66JTtLSvha8/s1600/zit.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/TMRfYEXB6lI/AAAAAAAAANs/66JTtLSvha8/s320/zit.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"></div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Don't reach for expensive drying serums or spot treatments! Lush Cupcake face mask has to be one of the best spot trreatments I've ever used. I dont get zits often, but when I do they are the kind that I can feel growing deep beneath my skin, without showing any surface evidence. I love to jump in a bath or open up my pores with some warm water, then use this mask as a little on-the-spot treatment. Cupcake is a wonderful thick mask made with cocoa which actually pulls impurities out of your skin, although I have not tried any other face masks for this purpose, I'm sure there are many others which would serve just as well!</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">3. Pack it on, Grind it off</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/TMRhXqlCJCI/AAAAAAAAANw/9i9hIuKzDP4/s1600/oats.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/TMRhXqlCJCI/AAAAAAAAANw/9i9hIuKzDP4/s1600/oats.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Some of these babies can be prettttttty thick; and coming from a history of store-bought, paraben-filled face masks, you will be tempted to be extra cautious and apply a thin layer of the thick Lush goodness. In order to achieve full results, you're going to want to apply a thick layer to a clean, prefferably open-pored (i.e. use warm steam or water to open the pores prior to applying) face. The tough part about this can be taking it off....many Lush masks can include blueberries, almonds, cranberries, etc. and can be a b!tch to cram down your bathroom sink. I recommend taking early measures to get a strainer, use a face cloth you aren't emotionally attached to, or even remove it over your garborator in your kitchen sink to avoid any unnecessary clogged sinks.</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">4. Face Wash</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/TMRixjVVH2I/AAAAAAAAAN0/OdQgFrvstT4/s1600/face.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/TMRixjVVH2I/AAAAAAAAAN0/OdQgFrvstT4/s1600/face.jpg" /></a></div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">This is a tip you sensitive-skinned girls will love. I, myself, suffer with a lot of redness on my skin, and anything that foams up too much or has a high soapy content, my skin will tomato-ize in a matter of seconds. The nice thing about these face masks is they really do get your skin nice and clean, while nourishing it and not leaving any residue behind. I reccommend using a face wipe or makeup remover prior to this, as you should avoid your eye area and definitley not rely on this to remove eye makeup. The granuled masks also serve as a great exfoliator, although with ingredients like almonds, they can be a little harsh to use more than once a week on your face.</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">5. Five = Free!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/TMRj2ij7oTI/AAAAAAAAAN4/RMRBb0NFd9w/s1600/andy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/TMRj2ij7oTI/AAAAAAAAAN4/RMRBb0NFd9w/s1600/andy.jpg" /></a></div><div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;"> Possibly the best part of this whole ordeal! Now that you know how to use your Lush face masks, and you'll be whipping through a new one every week, remember to keep all your little black pots! Save 5 of them and bring them back to the store to get a new fresh face mask for FREEEEEEEE!!!!</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

A week ago I picked up the Clinique Redness Solutions cleanser after long dealing with redness and splotchiness in my skin, and recent despiration</span><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> to aquire some clinique skincare. I have a large hunch that the redness Clinique aim to solve is that of irritated, sensitive skin. Skin that burns and itches from products, environmentals, and allergens. Well I am none of the above, but redness in my skin is something that I have srtuggled with for quite some time, and my next option is high end skin care, hence the purchase. </span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />

Melts away makeup and impurities. bla bla bla. Calms persistent and reactive redness.</span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I mean, I want this redness GONE. FOR EV ER....FOR EV ER.....(sandlot? anyone?) This is how I've been using it and this is how I've found my experience thus far...</span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It is indeed a gel cleanser. </span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/TJBLDyJow4I/AAAAAAAAAMw/zRgpXCGNOC4/s1600/CIMG2026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qx="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/TJBLDyJow4I/AAAAAAAAAMw/zRgpXCGNOC4/s320/CIMG2026.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia;">The product may also be used similar to the likes of Lush's Ultra Bland, just rubbed onto fdry skin and wiped off or rinsed off, which just left me feeling icky, so that was a bust personally for me.</span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia;">This product definitley does seem like it would cater nicely to all skin types, as it moisturizes and strips oil in all the right spots of my combination skin.</span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia;">I do only use this product in the morning, as I do not see the point on using it before I go to bed, especially at about triple the price of what I spend on my night time drugstore cleanser.</span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia;">As an alternative for this, I would recommend the Aveeno ultra calming line, although I find personally that the moisturizer is too thick (I use it as a night cream) and the face wash does not remove makeup very well.</span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: Georgia;">So all in all I am satisfied with the purchase, but do believe that there might be something even better out there. For now, I will continue to use, and maybe repurchase, this product until the HG redness removal cleanser is found!</span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Blending eyeshadows, nuding out every colour lipstick that I own, and layering mascaras to get my perfect lashes....well more recently I have moved into the nail polish realm, and I tell you there is no turning back. After proving to be an extremely difficult find in pre-made form, my most recent mix is a gorgeous light grey colour, similar to the eyeshadow likes of MAC's Copperplate.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />

Basically I take some form of plastic or non absorbent material, plastic wrap or disposable shot glasses work really well, and start by pouring out a few drops of the lightest colour in my mix (in this case, white). Then I take the brush from the darker colour (always do this, it will rarely affect the colour of the darker polish, but always will for the lighter polish) and mix in whatever comes out on the brush in with the lighter colour (in this case, black). I also like to add a drop of top coat or nail hardener to elongate the lasting power. mixa mixa and you have your new polish! this works great with colour, as well as adding subtle glitter to existing flat polishes.</span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The kaolin clay base deep cleanses while ground almonds gently exfoliate the dead skin away. Rose and lavender are added to soothe and help balance out combination skin. It's our best selling preservative-free and packaging-free daily cleanser for all skin types, so if you don't know which cleanser to choose and it's heavenly skin you're after, start with Angels.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial;">Dee Says:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial;">This is totally unlike any other cleanser i've tried. The clay was a bit hard to work with at first, but now i lather up and cleanse like a pro! I have normal skin with a sensitive eye area, and blotchy red tendencies, but this beauty keeps me normalised and adds a magic little touch to my skin that almost seems to take it a step further than cleansing. The way i see it, it's clay based, so it simulates washing your face with a clay mask, so it is very purifying and calming. It has little granules in it that gently exfoliate, and leaves my skin cleansed, toned,and even.</span></div><br />

It's soft and gentle, but deep cleansing as the oils reach down and pull out every trace of dirt and makeup (even the thickest of eyeliners!). Rose, beeswax and honey soothe and moisturize the skin. Give yourself an Ultrabland facial massage each night, then remove with a warm cloth and your skin will feel soft and smooth without any scrubbing at all."</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Arial;">Ultra Bland is an absolutely amazing, thick, creamy, luxurious makeup remover. I use it to remove my eye makeup, then follow up with my facial cleanser. It leaves my eyes feeling hydrated and taut instead of irritated, pulled on, and red like SO many makeup removers do. It's like a richer version of an oil-based remover, so if you're an oil fan, this is right up your alley! careful though, it's made with peanut oil so it is a no-go for all you peanut allergy carriers :( $14.95 for the 100g container shown here.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />

I'm talking about the hair bug...the urge I get once every 6 months to do something crazy to my locks. Cut it short, dye it a crazy color, get a fringe, or the like. Here are some of the photos that have my mouth watering and my leg twitching to dupe on myself.</div><div style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #a64d79; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/S2XaW1a424I/AAAAAAAAAJw/5o8w4Soe8lU/s1600-h/jessicasutta.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/S2XaW1a424I/AAAAAAAAAJw/5o8w4Soe8lU/s320/jessicasutta.jpg" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #a64d79; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">Jessica Sutta (yep, the redheaded pussycat doll). This has been a go-to photo of mine for a loooong time coming now. I am always apprehensive about adding red to my hair, because my face gets really red and splotchy sometimes, and i thought, this hair change will only bring it out even more. Regardless, I lust after these gorgeous auburn long locks on a daily basis. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #a64d79; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />

They always have the most perfect shade with the most perfect highlights. If I could splurge on one hair appointment, it would most definitley be with whoever highlights Miranda, Adriana, and Gisele's hair. Never stripey, never orange, always gorgeous. Anyway, this color would be very easy for me to achieve, just a brightening of my highlights and a touch up of the brown in my hair, and i'm there! Seems so simple....decisions decisions.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #a64d79; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/S2XdAc3nchI/AAAAAAAAAKA/R3gCoOxKwjU/s1600-h/ashleytisdalew.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/S2XdAc3nchI/AAAAAAAAAKA/R3gCoOxKwjU/s320/ashleytisdalew.jpg" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #a64d79; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">How is it possible that Disney always manages to find the most awkward looking 12 year old actresses around, and they always bloom within 3 years into the most gorgeous people on google images? This shade of blonde is what I had intentions of going to the last time I lightened my hair, but after 2 sessions of highlights, I caught the hair bug AGAIN and went back down to Megan Fox brown. But of course, there has to be a shade of barbie blonde in my array of hair color lusts....it just wouldn't be complete without an ashley, a melissa or a carrie.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #a64d79; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />

A bit of a change from her usual chocolate brown locks, this look is not so harsh and much more adaptable for paler skin like mine. Unfortunatley my city only gets about 4 months of summer so the risk of my hair lightening from the sun is very very low, so if a dye job happens to be too harsh, i'm usually stuck with it for at least 75 shampoos.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #a64d79; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"> <br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">As the producers of one of the most sought-after mascaras around, CoverGirl has re-invented the formulation, application, and packaging of their infamous Lash Blast mascara and created Lash Blast Length. The new version attempts to create the luscious gorgeous lashes you get with the original mascara, with the addition of getting the long curly beauties every girl dreams of! What a great investment! I'll take it.</span></span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;"> </span></span> <br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/S0PRhNnOyvI/AAAAAAAAAIw/6W-Cl1o9OH8/s1600-h/CoverGirl-LashBlast-Length-Mascara-wand.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/S0PRhNnOyvI/AAAAAAAAAIw/6W-Cl1o9OH8/s320/CoverGirl-LashBlast-Length-Mascara-wand.jpg" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The main difference between the old mascara and the new of course being the change in the structure of the wand. The old wand, as so many of us are familiar with, is thicker & wider at the middle, while the new is longer and slimmer. I'm not really sure on how this would create longer lashes, but if CoverGirl says so, I guess I have to believe it!</span></span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">As for the results, well, they were fine, I wasn't blown away though. I recieved the same results from one coat of this formulation as I would with two coats of the old formulation, with length in mind. When considering volume, however, it does not coat my lashes as thoroughly as the old formulation, so the result in comparison : old=thick luscious lashes, new=long whispy lashes.</span></span></span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I've come to accept the fact that no mascara will do exactly what i wish it would, because the lashes I adore and lust after (Kim Kardashian, VS Angels, etc.) are often layered with 2 pairs of falsies and are nearly impossible to achieve with mascara alone. So this mascara was a nice product to try, but I think i'll stick to my Avon Supershock, to keep my lashes and my wallet happy!</span></span><br />

I didn't want to do a video on this, and thought it might be a a nice guide for 'googling last minute boyfriend shoppers' to reference.

The packaging is gorgeous and chic, who wouldn't want to be seen pulling this out of their purse to touch up? I've had a chance to play with this one at the Bay and the brush is actually quite nice, very soft, and picks up a lot of product. Chanel is alllllways a good way to go. Classy, Chic, and will make ANY girl feel special.</span></span></span><br />

This on the other hand, is an absolute miracle of a cleanser. I started using it about a month ago, and i just adore it. It's nice to get things that you need for christmas too, because i HATE spending like $20 of my own money on a little thing of face cleanser.</span></span></span><br />

This scent had me at hello. I haven't yet saved to purchase it myself, you may have noticed</span></span> <span style="color: #a64d79;">i've been asking SephoraClaus for it everyyyyy dayyyyy hahaha. But again, i'm very particular about my scents. This one is a shoe-in :)</span></span><br />

This eco-friendly company was created by a makeup artist out of Toronto, ON, Canada (yay Canada!) and has just the most adorable packaging you could ever imagine!</span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/Swbs9fmnasI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/4x33nWBXIns/s1600/CIMG1285.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/Swbs9fmnasI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/4x33nWBXIns/s320/CIMG1285.JPG" yr="true" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first thing I had noticed about these products is the ingredients. All of the ingredients are listed direstly on the packaging, and why not? with high quality ingredients like lanolin, silica, and high quality pigment, any company owner would be proud to make this a known quality of their product.</span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/Swbs2nYyVQI/AAAAAAAAAGI/2Z99Kq7oGXw/s1600/CIMG1289.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/Swbs2nYyVQI/AAAAAAAAAGI/2Z99Kq7oGXw/s320/CIMG1289.JPG" yr="true" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The eyeshadows are silky smooth, highly pigmented, and come in a wide range of colors. I was sent a perfectly paired trio of eyeshadows with their famous eye primer in an adorable magetic quad. The colorful cardboard packaging is re-usable, silimar to a mac quad, and can be purchased either on its own with individual eyeshadows, or as a pre-made quad. The eyeshadows and primer are 4 gram sizes, comparable to napoleon perdis color discs or makeup forever shadows. The primer would be perfect if you have drier lids, it is very creamy and moisturizing.</span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/SwbtCsqq5LI/AAAAAAAAAGY/ICBtHNbk_JM/s1600/CIMG1280.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/SwbtCsqq5LI/AAAAAAAAAGY/ICBtHNbk_JM/s320/CIMG1280.JPG" yr="true" /></a><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">L-R: (quad) eye primer, e/s in; canyon, au cafe, blossom</span></em><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The blush is beautifully silky, pigmentation comparable to costal scents (i.e. VERY pigmented) and blends easily. The color sent to me could also double as a highlight, as it is very light and eye-catching. The blush packaging is a single containter magnetic box, once again in the 4 gram size, so the blush can easily be placed into the eyeshadow quad for convenient travel!</span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Arial;">One of my favorite ingredients in lipsticks, glosses, and any moisturizing cream is Lanolin (the oil sheep produce to protect their coat). It is extremely moisturizing, silky, and a main ingredient in both the lipsticks and glosses. The lipstick is scented like delicious brown sugar and has a finish similar to mac's glazes. the purple cardboard packaging is adorable with a little rhinestone on top to finish it off and pull it together. Lipsticks are 4 gram sizes. The glosses come in a plastic container with a cardboard lid. The wand ends with a doe-foot applicator, and the gloss itself is very highly pigmented (more like a liquid lipstick in fact) and smells of mint (kind of like mint dental floss....is that weird?). they come in 10 ml sizes.</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Arial;">Overall, the quality and size of the products are well worth the money. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the service is fantastic. If you are a fan of cute colorful packaging, or are eco-conscious, then this brand is more than ideal for you.</span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Arial;">Downfalls; The website provides colorblock samples rather than actual swatches, which can be very misleading when it comes to the true color, texture, and finish of the product, although these ones are fairly close.</span><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Arial;">I would re-purchase the lipsticks for myself, as I am absolutely in love with the scent, and the blush is definitley a favorite of mine. The primer is a bit too oily for me, and with my long 7am-11pm days, I need like liquid cement to keep my shadow on hehe. The packaging is absolutely adorable, but I tend to lean toward more chic and simple packaging, but I know there are a lot of people out there who do love colorful fun packaging, so this is definitley for you!</span><br />

Also, I realize that my blogs are rather flimsy...but blogs are where i share my most loved and desired things, like the avon supershock mascara? my holy grail. and now for an eyeshadow pigment that i don't think i'll ever put down.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/Svj9TXHIrXI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/0ijO_0sJK2s/s1600-h/cocotempt.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/Svj9TXHIrXI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/0ijO_0sJK2s/s400/cocotempt.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402346262094196082" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/Svj9TGxosFI/AAAAAAAAAFI/NXKu6MkosKk/s1600-h/temptcoco.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/Svj9TGxosFI/AAAAAAAAAFI/NXKu6MkosKk/s400/temptcoco.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402346257709051986" /></a><br /><br /><br />Cocomotion is a grgeous golden deep sand coor with tons of gold glitter reflects. I would say the closest mac eyeshadow to it in my collection is tempting. It looks unreal against green eyes, especially on the bottom lid, it really brings a pop to your peepers. as a limited edition makeup art cosmetics collection product, you wouldhave found this at mac stores for $23.50 CAD. However, now that it's long gone, you'll be a lucky lady to find it at a CCO, bog sale, or at makeupalley.com. I highly recommend this product and think that it is unique, gorgeous, and couldn't be happier with it.<br /><br /><script type="text/javascript"><!--<br />google_ad_client = "pub-3619861954443192";<br />/* Unit 1 */<br />google_ad_slot = "2383045870";<br />google_ad_width = 300;<br />google_ad_height = 250;<br />//--><br /></script><br /><script type="text/javascript"<br />src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"><br /></script>Deanne5253http://www.blogger.com/profile/16603737131206683516noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706837555647486241.post-53957060065499570012009-08-26T12:33:00.000-07:002009-08-26T12:45:06.674-07:00Dupe-a-Loop!<span style="color:#cc33cc;"></span><br /><div align="center"><span style="color:#cc33cc;"></span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/SpWOiVNlovI/AAAAAAAAAFA/j7z2lgNo1S0/s1600-h/032808-avon-supershock.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 379px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5374358450797388530" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/SpWOiVNlovI/AAAAAAAAAFA/j7z2lgNo1S0/s400/032808-avon-supershock.jpg" /></a> <em><span style="color:#cc33cc;">I absolutely, without question, had to take a moment out to blog about this fantastic dupe that I have heard so little about around the blogging/youtube community. Avon Supershock mascara is the perfect combination of Cover Girl's Lashblast mixed with Diorshow (Or Buxom Lash, both are very similar) and costs peanuts compared to the both of them! Avon products are almost ALWAYS on special, so I frequently purchase mine for around $4.00 CAD each. The bristles are firm and plastic-y, like those on the Lashblast wand, but they are more fine and dense, as tehre are more of them, like Diorshow. Avon has some really great products, and some absolute busts, but as far as Supershock goes, I find myself reaching for this over my $35.00 mascaras on a daily basis. It is definitley worth a try! You can visit Avon.ca or Avon.com to find an Avon seller near you, or if it is not available where you are, I would be happy to try and arrange for a swap :o) </span></em></div><div align="center"><em></em><br /></div>Deanne5253http://www.blogger.com/profile/16603737131206683516noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706837555647486241.post-27343865597900250822009-08-19T12:06:00.000-07:002009-08-19T13:01:28.772-07:00Deanne Wants....Tag!<div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><em><span style="color:#ff99ff;">Alrighty so the jist (is that how you spell jist? is that even a real word?) of this tag is that you google your name and the work wants (i.e. "Deanne wants") and take the first 5 search results that make sense and post them :) just a for fun kind of thing. to make this blog a little longer I also added a part 2 of 5 things...okay more than 5 things...

SO. I want to blog today about LOLA cosmetics. Lola, which stands for 'lust often, love always', is a company out of Los Angeles CA. Their products are available very sparingly throughout the US, Canada and the UK (see </span><a href="http://www.lolacosmetics.com/"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#cc66cc;">http://www.lolacosmetics.com</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#cc66cc;"> for product and store info). While at the Shoppers Drug Mart Beauty Boutique, i came across this line, mostly attracted to the striking chic red packaging. They had a ton of products available, what i'm assuming is the entire line actually. Now obviously i didn't stand tehre and memorize all the product names, so please bear with me while i describe to you my first thoughts. The first product to appeal to me was the bronzing face and body powder. It's available in a bronze and a pink color, both with gold shimmer, and it effing smells like amazing cake! the downfall? its freaking sparkly as all hell. so pretty much the only place Deanne would wear this is on her legs in the summer maybe.....not with the bf though, becuse it would get cake sparkles alll over his pants. and thats gay. i mean 90's. speaking of which, we were in minnesota a couple weeks ago and drove past a club called gay 90's. haha. oh clubs. *ADD* so the consistency of all the powder products is really nice, so i bought the wet/dry foundation. i bought the second darkest shade....caramel....specifically mentioning to the beauty expert that i need a color for my summer tan. it was NOT dark enough for my skin NOW! i returned it the next day. the darkest shade was fine for now, not for summer though. soooo....sad deanne. but like if you are fair skinned i really really recommend it. it's a beautiful product and feels just gorgeous on your skin. it's a little pricey at about $40 a pop, where as like, the MAC MSF natural runs at $30....soooo....keep that in mind. ANYWAY, also i picked up a lip gloss. The texture....AMAZING. the color.....glossy. pretty much clear (i bought 3 different shades, a nude, a pink, and a bronze) and once again, too sparkly. I feel like im writing the most boring blog ever right now.... am i? lol.....ok. good times. ummm so yes, overall, this cosmetic line is too highly priced for such an unknown brand, but the quality is really something else, its got some greeaaatt textures going on (but i can't help but compare to othe brands, like MAC, and so i'm thinking this is not really any sort of must-have line). if you love a great textured product, and you're fair skinned or ok with glitter, than please by all means, love it up! oh ya but you have to have a money tree.</span></div>Deanne5253http://www.blogger.com/profile/16603737131206683516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6706837555647486241.post-84235355343675035252009-05-16T00:40:00.000-07:002009-08-14T11:58:28.440-07:00Camping for the beauty-conscious<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/Sg5uOnrOB9I/AAAAAAAAAAU/iBLopaIplrA/s1600-h/blondeblonde.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 265px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336323805928097746" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UpDRZqm41yk/Sg5uOnrOB9I/AAAAAAAAAAU/iBLopaIplrA/s400/blondeblonde.jpg" /></a><br /><em><span style="color:#cc33cc;">apparently it was REALLY funny that it looked like kelly's body was mine....in the mirror...oh juicebags. (YES I am blonde in this photo! what can i say, i've been there and done that for every hair color out there! what do you guys think? should i go blonde again this summer?!)</span></em><br /><p><em><span style="color:#cc33cc;"></span></em></p><p><span style="color:#9999ff;">Ahhhh it's that time of year again! Time to air out the 12-person tent, check the king sized air mattress for any leaks, purchase new gas-powered straighteners and curling irons, and stock up on top shelf vodka and martini mix. Yes, this is the life of my best friend and I, this is our every weekend throughout the summer! Oh yes, we get called every name in the book; barbies, girly girls, city chicks, losers, but truth be told, on night 2 of or camping extravaganza, YOU are the one crawling into my roomy vanity tent begging for a drop of spray in conditioner or some body butter! bahahaha. hilarious. seriously though guys, i know we are pretty girly, but around here, pretty camping is a smart strategy! This is how i met my current boyfriend! not by curling his hair or anything....but by being the girl that could go camping, have a blast, and still be pretty haha. although i love to get dirty at a fishing hole and cause a drunken ruckus on the campground, all of this can be done while looking your best! here are some of the camping essentials that can get you through the summer looking fine fine fine!</span></p><p><span style="color:#9999ff;">1) Full-length mirror (see photo) from wal-mart. Me and kelly discovered this when we went to walmart to get a hand mirror for our tent. Full length mirrors are HALF the price of hand mirrors at walmart! i'm talking like 4 bucks! solid investment. EVERYBODY used ours. they laughed at first....but they were sorry. bonus points for charging girls a 1-shot entrance fee to your tent ;)</span></p><p><span style="color:#9999ff;">2) Big ass bottles of water. We went to a wholesale store and bought a 15 pack of litre bottles of water. hydration is key on binge drinking weekends for looking your best, but also, you never know when you're going to run into a campground with no running water or showers. it is at this point, that washing your hair with dasani never sounded so sweet!</span></p><p><span style="color:#9999ff;">3) Sunblock. Nothing is more unattractive than the drunk lobster girl hitting on your friend.</span></p><p><span style="color:#9999ff;">4) HUGE dope shades. big sunglasses are the world's biggest lifesavers. runny makeup and tired eyes are instantly cured by covering up with a giant piece of tinted plastic. i buy mine cheap so if i lose or break them, no loss! pick up 2 pairs just incase!</span></p><p><span style="color:#9999ff;">5) waterproof mascara. If the eyes are the window to the soul, then we want to frame them with gorgeous full lashes! mascara is the easiest way to look done up but not overdone. make it waterproof, because nobody wants to look like a raccoon.</span></p><p><span style="color:#9999ff;">6) tinted moisturizer (bonus if you get an SPF one!). you want to be a pretty girl, not a prettygirl. don't spend all day in your tent with your studio fix and a 187, or whatever the crap foundation brush number is. slap on some tinted moisturizer and git on girl!!!</span></p><p><span style="color:#9999ff;">7) a cooler full of carrots, celery, cucumbers and broccoli!!! you will feel absolutely terrible if you spend your whole long weekend eating hot dogs and chips! it might sound great once you've chugged a mickey, but trust me, when you feel like crap, people can tell. you won't want to strut around in your cute new VS bikini with a bloated belly! </span></p><p><span style="color:#9999ff;">8) a cute sundress. Because hey, you can be prepared for any type of weather, but please please please be prepared for that FINE unexpected abercrombie model staying 3 campsites down from you.</span></p><p><span style="color:#9999ff;"></span></p><p><span style="color:#9999ff;">Now these are a few things that come to my mind when i'm packing.....maybe i'll do a version 2....when i think of more...but hopefully this will get you through some fun weekends!</span></p><p><span style="color:#9999ff;">XOXOXOXO!</span></p><p><span style="color:#9999ff;"></span></p><p><span style="color:#9999ff;">Love you BARBIES!</span></p>Deanne5253http://www.blogger.com/profile/16603737131206683516noreply@blogger.com4
