Product Review: Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub by Lush

Mar 292009

I’m not going to lie: I am addicted to this stuff. In fact, I’m kind of hoarding it. I won’t let anyone else in the house use it, and now that I’m getting down to the bottom, I’m a little freaked out because there isn’t a Lush store in my town and OMG, what am I going to do? It smells absolutely divine, slightly citrus-y, a little floral, but not overwhelmingly so. It has sea salt in it, but it’s not huge chunks that hurt when you use it. Quite the contrary – you don’t even realize that you’re using [...]

For the Men Fridays: Seduction and Mystery with YSL’s New La Nuit de l’Homme

Mar 272009

“La Nuit de l’Homme”, portrayed by French Actor Vincent Cassel (Monica Bellucci’s husband), brings classic masculinity, but more edgy, daring and sensual than the original “L’Homme”. This oriental fragrance by Yves Saint Laurent features notes of bergamot, cardamom, lavender, vetiver, cedar and coumarin, creating a seductive scent for eveningtime. Be sure to visit the YSL Beauty home page for a quick (yet quite sexy) movie about the new fragrance. Available in two sizes: 2.0 ounces and 3.3 ounces.

Product Review: Jonathan Product Spray Dirt

Mar 242009

I have just about everything in the Jonathan Product Dirt line, and have been a huge fan since the original Dirt paste came out in the jar. It works really well on my thick, coarse hair, especially in terms of adding texture, which is always what I’m looking for in a finishing product. So, when I saw this hanging out at my local Bath and Body Works, I decided to grab it, although the price tag gave me a bit of spitty mouth. At $29 for a little over four ounces, it better be fantastic. But I say that every [...]

Don’t You Hate It When They Discontinue Your Favorite Beauty Products?

Mar 212009

It never fails – I find a product that I like, especially in a drugstore, and when I go back to repurchase I find that it’s been long since discontinued. Revlon did a line about two years ago that I loved, and this Midnight Swirl Lip Lustre was part of it. I went through three tubes of Reddish Fetish and would have continued to buy if I could have found it anywhere. But guess what? There are places online that stock discontinued products and sell them for cheap! I found my Lip Lustre (and quite a bit of the rest [...]

The Maxi Dress Trend: Are You In?

Mar 212009

Once again, maxi dresses are the season’s hot trends. You can’t go into any store without seeing a good collection of them. I’m conflicted about them. I want to love them, and they look amazingly comfortable, but I’m not sure that they really do anything for me. Get ready to see a lot of them, though. They were all over the runways for the spring and resort collections, and Old Navy has them on sale right now for $20. What say you? Will you be rocking the maxi dress trend this spring and summer? Here are a few great articles [...]

Loomstate Collection for Target Lookbook

Mar 202009

Fashionista has the new Loomstate for Target collection lookbook. I’m not really overly excited (which means I’m really “meh” about it), but something that is new is that they are including a collection for the mens. I think this is going to appeal to the 20′s beachy crowd, which makes it a nice collection for summer. What do you think?
