Makeup Mania

What a great weekend for makeup! I am embarrased to say this, but on Friday night I watched QVC for 3 full hours! It was their Beauty Newsmakers special and I was completely entranced. What a mindless way to unwind from a hectic week! I ended up purchasing some LORAC eye shadow. If you haven't tried LORAC shadows before, what are you waiting for? They are the best! Subtly shimmery and they last for hours. Here is the one I purchased http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx?view=2&app=detail&params=item^A201646,RecTypeInd^IOFFER,navlist^A201646*A193247*A170261*,cp^detail,tmp^related,cpprod^A200796,cm_scid^dtlr&walk=&cmtags==

In addition to my QVC marathon, I have a 15% off coupon to Sephora for Beauty Insiders that is good through tomorrow. I just think this lipgloss from Hourglass is genius. http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P256901&categoryId=C17271 Perfectly shaped for your backpocket and great for summer when you don't want to leave the house with a bulky purse. Just slip this in your pocket and be on your way! Happy Sunday, Beauty Queens!

Twigs and Honey

I just had to share this new website I stumbled across this week.

Check out http://www.twigsandhoney.com/

I can't get enough feathers, flowers, headbands, basically all things girly and vintage, so of course I adore this site. I wore a flower and feathers clip similar to these on my wedding day and wore a sparkly flower headband just last weekend, seriously.

Isn't this flowered belt pretty? Looks so springy.

Ohhh, or how about this as a statement necklace!?! Completely over the top, yet pretty. Lovin' it, ladies.

Herbaria Soap

As you may know, we live in a wonderful little neighborhood a few minutes from downtown St. Louis, called The Hill. The Hill is the "little Italy" area of St. Louis and is known for is delicious restaurants and Italian food markets. Recently, a great new soap shop opened its first retail location, in the heart of The Hill. herbaria sells all natural soaps, using pure plant essentials and no synthetic fragrances, colorants or perservatives.
I am loving the Citrus Oatmeal scent and can't wait to go back and purchase another bar! Check out the store or visit online at http://www.herbariasoap.com/

Bump It

So, yesterday was a fantastic day for me...the Bump It arrived at Walgreen's!!! Yes, you have all seen it on TV and now it is finally available at your local pharmacy. And it is just as good as it looks on TV!! Seriously, this thing is awesome. I rocked it all day at work today and received mucho compliments! Thanks to all my work ladies for supporting my big hair love. It is super easy to put in and stays put better than you would think. I did adjust at lunchtime, but mostly out of boredom. Make sure to rat your hair up good before putting it in and then use quite a bit of hairspray to secure. The instructions and photos included are easy to follow. Have a great big hair weekend everyone!

A Perfect 10

Convenient for us ladies, with warmer (sandal!) weather finally here, Sally Hansen has introduced a fabulous new product called the Nail Art Pen. It is like a paint pen for your nails. Talk about the perfect craft/beauty project in one! I am so excited to show off my first creation..... a vampy plum shade of polish (courtesy of Sephora by OPI Meet for Drinks) with glimmery silver done in french mani style. I can't wait to create some other bright color combinations on my toes this spring! With 8 colors available, including black, white, both light and dark pink, blue, silver, gold and red the possibilities are endless. I found my nail art pen on sale at Walgreen's for only $4 too, what a beautiful bargain. This would make a great Easter basket stuffer for the little chickas in your life too!
