[rhyming unintentional. maybe.]

I joined Influenster several months ago. It has been an incredibly fun and informative experience thus far. I especially enjoy being able to share great products on my blog, on twitter, and elsewhere.

On another note..
Influenster was kind enough to send me Sue Devitt's Eye Intensifier Pencil to try out.
I am MILDLY obsessed..okay..under-exaggeration of the century..
BEST EYE PENCIL I HAVE EVER TRIED!!!

They sent me the eye pencil in Golden Triangle:

Product description from suedevitt.com:
"Long Lasting, Water-Resistant Eyeliner Pencil
Intensify your own eye color naturally with the rich, shades and velvety formulation that glides on extra smooth for fool-proof application.Ceramide 2, Hyaluronic Filling Spheres and Nylon-12 anti-aging ingredients lock in moisture and  expand and contract with facial movements without creasing to create a long-lasting, luminous eye. The Eye Intensifier Pencil can be applied along the base of the eyelid and bottom lash line for an intense smoky look or may be used to create an effortless "quick-eye" with minimal blending for a maximum effect."

I was a little hesitant to go outside my comfort zone of black eyeliner, or black with glitter [don't judge] but I was pleasantly surprised.

This color really accented my eyes and enhanced their color. [I have light hazel eyes.] The formula glided on like a dream, and had true staying power, unlike other eyeliners I have tried that melt, rub off, or just fade away as the day or night progresses, with or without primer [I did not use any primer with this product].


VERY HAPPY CAMPER!!


I have officially switched to Sue Devitt Eyeliner, and I won't be looking back.

follow the yellow brick road.

Summer classes. They run your life.

ANYWAYS!!

I ordered some more goodies from Deborah Lippman:
http://lippmanncollection.com/2011dl/index_new.php

I was SO stoked when i saw Yellow Brick Road. The Wizard of Oz is one of my favorite films, so the fact that Deborah and her camp are keeping up with that whole theme [I have yet to try Ruby Red Slippers..which is next on my list!] really makes me smile.

I placed my order for Yellow Brick Road and Soul Mission.

I am IN LOVE with Yellow Brick Road! It is THE PERFECT summer shade. It's not as bright as it looks on the net, it's a more mellowed-out, subtle, sheer, and SCRUMPTIOUS yellow. It wears well with pretty much everything, and this formula holds up particularly nice. I am so glad I bought it! This will be this blogger's go-to summer shade. You should DEFINITELY check it out!! :)

I already knew Deborah Lippmann was a total nail goddess and lovely person, but they totally made my week when I opened up my package and saw they shared a treat with me.. my FAVORITE top coat out there!!  On A Clear Day is the perfect top coat. It really extends the life of your manicure/nail polish, it is the only top coat I use whether I am wearing one of the Lippmann hues or not.

This ultra-glossy top coat protects your manicure with a chip-resistant formula and a UV inhibitor so polish does not discolor or fade. For best results, allow nail color to dry, then apply a thin coat.
- Formulated with an ultra violet light inhibitor to prevent yellowing of whites and soft pinks, and discoloring of darker shades
- Leaves nails with a glossy, high shine finish
- Apply every two to three days to extend the life of manicure

Alright guys and dolls..I really hope you will check out these awesome products for yourself, you won't be disappointed!!

The Best Blush..EVER.

 Like most women, I have used quite a few blushes in my time. Some left me looking like Bozo, even with the slightest, softest sweep of powder. Others just did not work with my skin color, texture, and/or tone.

The truth is most women are looking for a pretty, universally-flattering color that can be worn day to night, like most makeup products. We need versatility. We need something that complement our bone structure, our skin color, our skin tone, and our skin texture. We need a blush that makes us look alive, even when we're walking around with no sleep and a three shot espresso in our systems to try to get us through the day. We need a color that adds a healthy dose of color. Women need a blush that looks good at the office or at school, and looks good while on a date or out with the girls.

I have a few blushes that I like, but my ultimate favorite is NARS blush in Orgasm.

According to Sephora.com's description:

" Blush

What it is:
A soft, sheer pressed powder blush.

What it does:
NARS Blush offers a range of translucent, natural shades, each with a subtle pink for natural blush undertone, created to highlight the complexion.

What else you need to know:
Designed to be worn alone or layered together for more depth, NARS Blush provides a healthy glow to flatter any skintone.

-Orgasm Blush:
NARS Orgasm makes cheeks blush a perfect pinky-peach flush and subtly highlights with accents of golden shimmer. The perennially pleasing, universally flattering shade is again and again a makeup artist and beauty editor favorite."

NARS Orgasm Blush is the perfect blush, in my book anyway. Just a light sweep gives you a healthy dose a color, or you can layer it on if you are looking particularly pale and/or pasty. I have been using it for a few years now, and I don't ever tire of it. I will be buying NARS Super Orgasm soon, because I haven't tried it and I have been so thrilled with the original blush, and their other products!

Well, that's all for now boys and ghouls.

Enjoy your day!!
