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.

Things I Want: J. Crew Antique Fleece Shawl Cardigan

May 7, 2008 · 3 Comments

If you are going to wear fleece, do it right. Every once in awhile you see an item that is comfy fleece masquerading as a stylish, well-tailored piece.

This J. Crew Antique Fleece Shawl Cardigan is just such a piece – a gorgeous sweater that just happens to be luxurious, comfortable fleece inside. Imagine looking put together at the office and feeling like you are wearing your PJs – and no one will be any the wiser. Try putting it together with a long trouser or a pencil skirt – great for those days this time of year that you are wearing lighter layers but the air conditioning leaves you a bit chilled.

Find it at J. Crew for $39.99.

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.
