Sally Hansen Lip Blush Plumping Balm




I am really impressed with Sally Hansen lately...they have expanded their product line to include more than just nail care.

I really want to try the Lip Blush Plumping Balm shown above. It costs around $9 and changes from clear to the perfect shade of pink for your lips. It also plumps with marine filling spheres and peptides. It looks similar to Smashbox O Gloss but costs about $15 less.

You can find Sally Hansen products at Drugstore

My Review of Prada Infusion d'Iris


I recently ordered a sample of Prada Infusion d'Iris as I sniffed it in a magazine and really liked it. However when I got it home I noticed two things: One, it doesn't last very long. Two, it smells just like Johnson's Baby Shampoo. Maybe a tad more floral.
It's a lovely fragrance. I am really not good at describing notes, but I would call it soft, powdery, floral and creamy at the same time. I like it, but I don't love it enough to buy an entire bottle.

The Best Brow Pencil Ever: Rimmel Professional

Last time I went to Wal-Mart, I bought two of these at once. They sell out quick, especially in the Hazel shade. This pencil gives the perfect color and consistency, and the little brow brush on the cap is genius. Once I couldn't find this anywhere and tried other brands (Milani and Cover Girl) but they just couldn't hold a candle to the Rimmel Professional brow pencil. If you have not tried this you should, right away! They make several shades to suit different hair colors.

Hollywood Tan Gift Card Offer


Hollywood Tans is a tanning salon with locations all over the country. This offer is for a Hollywood Tans gift card in exchange for offer participation. If you do end up going to Hollywood Tan you should get the UV Free tan because it is definitely the safest for your skin. With all the great spray and airbrush tanning there is no reason to bake yourself tan anymore!

The great thing about Hollywood Tans (besides their Non-UV tanning) is how they customize your tan for your specific skin type and tone.

Review of Sunsilk Waves of Envy Sea Spray

Sunsilk Waves of Envy Sea Spray...

I am loving this product. I bought it from Wal-Mart. It is just like the spray John Freida used to make. It smells sunshine-y and has a wonderful texture.

My hair is fine and naturally wavy which means it tangles easily, gets frizzy and looks flat. This spray does wonders for my hair, especially when I combine it with Patene's new Texturizer hair spray which is like industrial strength and my favorite EVER.

Anyway, I used a little Sea Spray on damp hair and either blow dry or let dry naturally. Then when my hair is dry I just spray it on and scrunch it in. It works on either damp or dry hair. You could spray it on dry or damp hair, pin it up in curls, do your makeup then take the curls down and it would look fabulous. I would love to see how this product works on straight hair.

I would say the best thing this spray does is adds a bit of "clean grit" so to speak to my hair so it will hold volume and style. It gives my fine, boring hair some hold and texture. I am loving it!

Oh...please come post on my Forums I am lonely by myself! I set them up...singlehandedly mind you...for the purposes of makeup and beauty related chat. I am thinking about a Swap section but not ready to put that up yet. As costly as drugstore makeup is anymore, swapping like many sites do with high end probably isn't the worst idea...we'll see. Anyhow, come on over and chat!
