So I was browsing about in a new shopping center this past week and found a store called Five Below. It’s an interesting place, billing itself as the “cool store for teens and beyond.” My seven year old was all fired up to go in. While browsing around, I found this Punk Palette by Hard Candy. At first I was kind of, “ew” because I figured that it was extremely old and discontinued. But for a $5 price tag, I figured what the heck. I’d take it home and check it out. I have quite a few Hard Candy palettes, [...]

In this picture, I am desperately trying to illustrate that the Essie Short Shorts color is absolutely gorgeous against tanned skin. Since I don’t really have nicely tanned skin (it’s been awhile since I have used my self-tanner), I needed to use my daughter. She was blessed with the most amazing skin that turns a gorgeous shade of brown.

Sephora is thinking you might. ColorOn is an all-mineral formulation created by makeup artist Irina Iosilevich. There are six sets, including the one you see here, which is called the Exotic Kit, and includes cammo, zebra stripes, and what looks to be cheetah print. The other kits don’t look quite as crazy. There is a smokey eye kit, and the rest look to be organized by color, such as grays, bronzes, and neutrals. For $25, you a kit with five pairs of eyeshadow appliques, a brush, and a jar of setting powder. I’m interested to hear what you think. Is [...]

Anyone else watching iLove the New Millennium? I think they are a little ahead of the game, seeing as how this decade isn’t over, but it’s still way too funny. I think I should be one of those snarky people commenting on everything. If you haven’t caught it yet, just tune in to VH1. They are pretty much playing it all day every day. No need to even TiVO.

Just another summer outfit. I actually own the shoes, and I’ve been trying to figure out what to pair them with. I am really loving the brights this season, but what I don’t like is the monocromatic dressing that is going on. Mix it up, people! Have fun with it! You know that we are going to be back to boring gray and black soon enough.

Looks like OPI has teamed up with Sephora to bring you six fall shades for $9 each. These will be available in stores early August, and online by late July. The colors are, from left to right: Don’t Go There, Meet For Drinks, I’m With Brad, Never Enough Shoes, Metro Chic and Run With It. The line will also include a base coat, top coat, quick dry, and polish remover. What do you think about the shades? I can’t wait to see them in person.

In case you haven’t heard the news, this Saturday, June 28, all flip flops at Old Navy will be only $1. So, if you need to indulge in rubber shoes (hopefully just for the beach, or the shower in your dorm, or whatever), this Saturday would definitely be the time to do it. If I can bring myself to face the mall, I might pick up these gold ones to wear to the waterpark.
