Review: Mi-Spa Soap and Dry Oil...

Another great sample out of My Pretty Pink Box in November was a small goodie bag from Mi-Spa. I got a soap samples of Lemon Sugar and Brown Sugar and Spice.

Lemon Sugar is fresh like rubbing a lemon all over you!!lol! I like lemon scents( I wore Fresh's Lemon Sugar to I couldn't anymore!) so now I'm lemming an entire bar:)

Brown Sugar and Spice is spicy and sugary. I pair this with my Korres Vanilla Cinnamon lotion for a cold weather yummies under a turtleneck...

My Sake Dry Oil sample...reminds of the two bottles of Fresh Sake I went through about four years ago!!! Love Love Love!!!! Plus, I love Sake anyway...( The drink.... with ginger ale..try it:))

Review: Beauty From The Earth...Multipurpose Minerals in Grape and Blueberry...

In my November My Pretty Pink Box , I received some great samples of a multipurpose mineral from a company called Beauty From The Earth. I got Grape and Blueberry. I was playing around today while the boys napped and I listened to the new Common CD( hot...people...hot!!).

I absolutely love them! I did Blueberry from the lashline to the midlid and Grape from the midlid to the crease...just playing around. The pigmentation is amazing in both....

Blueberry reminds me of MAC's pigment in Blue but brighter. Grape is going to perfect for a purple smoky eye I will be doing soon!!!

Beauty From The Earth has so many amazing colors( I need that Apple Green) and also has several tutorials on how to use these two colors and others!

Review:Sally Hansen Invisible Lip Liner....

Hi Folks!!

I hope that your Christmas Day was a blessed one!I had a great day...got a couple presents and such...but the best part is watching my kids rip into presents and boxes and be happy all day long!

I got Sally Hansen Invisible Lip Liner at CVS for 50% off the price. I guess its being discontinued. I'm always skeptical about stepping out of the nail polish box with Sally Hansen.I have couple of lip glosses that I love from there new improved lip collections.

I actually really love this product! Here's why:

-the waxy like texture really did fill in the lines around the edges of my lips(Due to a habit that me and the President-Elect share...sometimes).
-I saw a difference my gloss.It looked smoother...

But there is one "con"....

-The liner is too small...It needs to be a thick stick for all over lip application. I wear it all over my lips!


I'm going to the other CVS in town to see if I can find another one and another one...stock up on them...:)

Merry Christmas N.O.T.D: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Jumpin' Jade...

Merry Christmas!!!!

Today's N.O.T.D is Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Jumpin' Jade( Thanks Kim!!).Kim sent this to me....I haven't seen it down here yet and it arrived just a few days before Christmas so it was destined to be The Christmas Mani!

I love it. One coat will do the trick, but the brush is TRASH....And hope that when the PR heads at Sally Hansen google to see how the beauty chicas are loving their new polish or they are trolling the nail board over at Makeup Alley...they will see that they need do more than rethink that wacky brush that hold way too much product...but trash it all together.Great run on sentence!!! YAY!!
