Summer Sun Kissed Skin....It's Just Around the Corner

Thursday, March 11, 2010 0
Summer is just around the corner ladies and gents and it's time to get your skin ready for full exposure! I picked up a few items from Farm House Fresh Goods. Farm House Fresh is known for its Fine Body Scrub after making Oprah's Favorite Things list a few years ago. But I need another body scrub like I need a hole in my head so I passed on the scrub and opted to buy a few other treats I am hoping my skin will love.



First up I go the Whoopie! White Velvet Shea Butter Cream. Here is a description of the product: This brand new Shea Butter whip is a jarful of joy! Lightly scented with fond memories of white velvet cream and moist layer cake, it is hard to resist as a start to each morning... or a sweet farewell to each day. Inspired by the famous comfort treats -Whoopie Pies. Farmers would find these handmade creamy cake-like delights in their lunchbox and shout "Whoopie!" We hope this every day cream becomes your every day delight, too... The supple butters and Vitamin E packed Jojoba and Soybean oils calm even the severest of dry skin.

Next on the list is Strawberry Smash - Double Moisturizer. This is what they have to say about the product:This jar of double moisturizer is pure decadent fun! The vintage jelly jar with galvantized lid unlocks playful memories and yummy moisturizer you'll love mushing-up. Live Strawberry Cells have been suspended in a nourishing body gel to bring vitamin-packed softness to skin. Be carefree when scooping - the rich sweet cream fragranced body whip blends with the fruit extracts leaving skin soft, dewy and richly fragrant. Includes aloe leaf juice, strawberry fruit extract, shea butter and all the just-picked fun you can muster-up. Includes printed jute tote for gift-giving delight, declaring "Mushed-up stuff is better for you."

OMG...I lied... I did get the Fine Body Scrub. I need to dial back my ordering if I can't keep my products straight...LMAO

Full reviews will follow as soon as I get a chance to use the products. This stuff smells yummy by the way.

NARS Cosmetics at TJ Maxx

Wednesday, March 10, 2010 0
I found NARS Cosmetics at TJ Maxx today...GO ME!! They had any eyeshadow palette, a set of 5 lip glosses and a lip gloss duo consisting of Giza and Boogie Nights. I passed on the Giza/Boogie Nights combo because I have it already, but you know I grabbed the eyeshadow palette and the glosses. The palette usually cost 50 bucks and I got it for $30, as for the 5glosses, they run 45 bucks, I got them for $25.



You can also find NARS Cosmetics at Sehpora

And who can leave TJ Maxx without picking up at least one item of clothing. I grabbed this Pucciesque dress. I think it would look great with leggings too. I have to admit there is something jester like about this design...lol but i like the colors. Oh yeah....excuse the mess that is my closet.

The Perfect Foundation

Saturday, March 6, 2010 0

I'm in love with Make Up Forevers Face and Body foundation. For folks looking for a natural looking foundation...this is a winner!! It provides light to medium coverage and is easily buildable. I would say that if you need more than medium coverage this may not be the foundation for you...lets face it, you can only build a foundation to a certain point regardless of how great it is...it will end up looking cakey and funky. Oh yeah...this stuff is water proof...I'm talking going snorkeling water proof...perfect for those warm summer days and nights when you want a light foundation that wont sweat off.

Here is the description of the foundation provided by Sephora:
Face & Body Liquid Makeup
The secret is all in this top-selling formula. This waterproof, ultra-light, water-based gel contains no emulsifiers and provides a totally natural, satin finish. Ideal for normal skin-types as well as for fine lines and large pores. Gives skin a uniform tone without accentuating imperfections. A makeup artist's favorite.

Head to Sephora, pick your color match and have them give you a free sample (usually enough for 1 to 2 applications), or just buy it out right....if you don't like it you can always return it, but I know you will LOVE it! It will set you back $38 bucks, but the perfect foundation and beautiful skin is PRICELESS!!
