Bare Escentuals Ponder Four Piece Collection

May 15, 2008 · 6 Comments

I’m always attracted to green eyeshadows, which theoretically should make my olive-hazel eyes pop. But I’ve rarely had success – I usually look tired with green hues. After seeing this Bare Escentuals Ponder Four Piece Collection, I think I’ve found the problem with every other green shade I’ve tried – they are too warm for my skin tone, even if it’s a pastel or mint green. So I’m excited to try this adorable three shade with an applicator and a cute springy bag.

Described as the “coolest” shades of green, these shades are more platinum/silver based than most green shades I’ve tried. What impresses me is that there is still extraordinary depth to the colors – which is typical of Bare Escentuals shadows. In fact, the one green that consistently works on me is from Bare Escentuals – “Green Tea”, a deep forest green shade. (Side note: Bare Escentuals Green Tea shadow is amazing for creating a dramatic 1920’s flapper girl eye if you use it as both a liner and a shadow.)

The Ponder Four Piece Collection consists of the fresh and pretty zippered bag, a double ended lining and shaping brush, Envy (a pale lime shimmer), Pond (a matte blue green) and Live (a shimmering moss green). Great for creating a fresh spring eye!

Benefit Cosmetic’s Silky Finish Lipstick in Breathless

May 13, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I’m on a mission this spring to find the perfect petal pink lip look – and I think Benefit’s poisetint will be a good base. In looking through endless lipsticks to find that perfect pink, I came across Benefit Cosmetic’s silky finish lipstick in breathless, which looks like it fits the bill. It’s a little more intense looking that a true petal color – but I think it’s more wearable as a result.

New Product: Benefit Cosmetic’s Poisetint

May 12, 2008 · 1 Comment

I can’t wait to try Benefit’s sequel to Benetint, a gorgeous petal pink color called Posietint.

It’s described as a poppy-pink lip and cheek stain, which is a rare color to find in the lip and cheek stain realm. It has a slightly cool base to it, which is also difficult to find in a stain – most stains tend to run towards deep, warm colors. As a rule of thumb, if you look good in silver or platinum eyeshadows, then Posietint will look absolutely gorgeous on you.

Find it at Benefit Cosmetics for $28.00.

MAC Skinsheen Leg Spray: What to Know

May 6, 2008 · 5 Comments

My legs are really pale. We’re talking complete lack of color here. And I don’t tan, I go straight to burning (theoretically, of course – I’m a sunscreen girl). And if I use a self-tanner, it just becomes blatantly obvious that I used a self tanner since I’m pretty pale everywhere else too.

What Is MAC Skinsheen Leg Spray

So I’m pretty excited to try MAC’s new Skinsheen Leg Spray. Since it provides low coverage while adding radiance and sheen, it works for us pale gals since it gives more of a natural sunkissed look rather than attempting to give the appearance of a tan.

And since it’s a gel formulation, it gives your legs sheen – I’ve tried various leg sprays over time, but it always gives a matte foundation finish, not a healthy skin sheen. And best of all, no fake-tan streaks!

Where to Buy It

Available at M.A.C for $22.50.

Free shipping with code SKINSHEEN through May 11th.
