Paint Yourself Pink!

February 12, 2007/

Pink makeup = romantic makeup. And wouldn't it be nice to wear your romatic makeup on Valentines Day?

I am lucky to be fair skinned in which most pinks look nice on me. I prefer the soft pastel pinks, but I like just about any type of pink makeup. If you are not that into Pinks, take a few of my suggestions, and I bet I change your mind.

Sephora has a cute line of products, entitled appropriately enough, Piink. And like they say, "The best things in life are pink". I love this lip gloss crayon ($5) in the line, especially in Milky Rose - the most beautiful shade of rose petal pink. It's ease of use in that is glides on like a lipstick out of it's chubby stick but it looks sheer and glossy and low price tag are a huge plus! I also like to use their My Miistic Shadow ($9) in Tender Pink, which is a loose powder eyeshadow in pink with a hint of gold. It is in the cutest container that you dip the sponge tipped applicator into to get to the shadow.

For blushing in pink, I have a few favorites.

My Best of 2006.

December 29, 2006/

I have discovered so many great new beauty products this year - some new, some tried and true, but new to me - that I am having such a difficult time narrowing down my "Favorite Things" list for the year.

One thing that I can easily add to the list is you, my faithful and loyal readers. Without you, there would be no beauty blog - and I would have no other way to show and express my joys of beauty searching. So to you all, I thank you for your continued support.

Onto the list. Here I present My Favorite Things 2006.

Smashbox Photofinish Primer - I don't know what took me so long, but I cannot live without this now.
Tarte Cosmetic's Lights. Camera, Lashes! Mascara - I think this is my hg mascara find.
Bare Escentuals Get Started Kit - a great kit to get started with BareMinerals, and I am happy to have finally become a BEliever.
Benefit Cosmetics Weather Girl Palette - I take this out to use at least twice a week - lovin' it!
Lancome Flash Retouche Concealer - I use this daily to cover and brighten my under eye area.

Estee Lauder High Gloss Lip Gloss - a lip gloss fave that I have multiples of.
Tom Ford - the fragrance, the man, and the collections - can't wait to see what will come from him next year.
