Wet n Wild’s Dancing In The Clouds palette is a gorgeous blend of soft, feminine colors that complement any eye color. This palette will look especially beautiful on blue and green eyes, since the bronze and the purple will really bring out the light pigmentation in the eye. You can mix and match these colors so many ways to create different eye looks, but I went with one of my favorite combinations: a bronze eyelid with a purple crease. The look ends up having a nice pop of color without being over the top. To see how to achieve this look, read more…

The Wet n Wild Dream Weavers Collection is a brand new collection of eyeshadow trio palettes that has just been released. Trust me when I tell you that these were hard to find, and it actually wasn’t me who found them, it was my husband (go figure). I walked right past them in my local Rite Aid, when that was what I was there looking for! My heart dropped when I saw the display, and I bought every single palette from the collection, of course. At $2.99 each, they’re a steal, putting down incredibly gorgeous, rich pigment! I am going to be doing a series containing this collection, swatching and showing you a look for each palette. Today’s edition is all about Dancing In The Clouds, so go ahead and join the fun, read more…

Milani Cosmetics has released a limited edition collection for the month of July, and the biggest hit of this collection is definitely the Paint Eyeshadow Palette which beauty bloggers and lovers have been raving about since Milani announced its’ release. Not only is this palette visually striking, but it’s a flat out brilliant idea to release a round palette containing several bright, gorgeous colors in it. Milani definitely turned a ton of heads this summer with this palette, with many people reporting that this was sold out in many drugstores! Keep in mind that even though these are limited edition for July 2011, some drugstores will keep these out and on the shelves into August, until they sell out, especially in less-likely to sell out towns.

Milani Cosmetics has released a limited edition collection for the month of July which include these four gorgeous lip glosses aptly named Haute Flash. I just received these products today, so I apologize for not putting these up sooner, but there is still time to go out and search your local drugstores if you’re interested. Keep in mind that even though these are limited edition for July 2011, some drugstores will keep these out and on the shelves into August, until they sell out. In my area, locally, they sometimes leave collections out for a few weeks past their release dates, so you may want to hunt these down as soon as possible. To see photographs and swatches of all four of these dazzling lip glosses, read more…

When I was invited to take part in an international “bloggers swatch day” from the girls over at piCture pOlish, I was not only honored but excited. The idea that on one particular day, a group of bloggers are going to each swatch a nail polish from their collection is not only brilliant, but really exciting for all beauty blog readers out there. Cackle is a gorgeous pinkish-purple, and when they first sent this shade to me randomly, I thought to myself, “They must know my secret!” My secret, of course, is that I love anything and everything purple, so they hit this one out of the park. To see photographs and swatches of this gorgeous shade, read more…

I recently dip dyed the tips of my hair a gorgeous lavender color, and it looked great against my blonde hair. It is a semi-permanent change, meaning it washes out within twelve washes (mine lasted about eight washes), so it is commitment free. Ombre hair and dip dyed ends are a huge trend right now, and it’s a really fun way to change up your look and add a little personality to your hair. Here is the video tutorial on how to get this look!

Oh how I adore this gorgeous shade! I have seen swatches of the Color Club Starry Temptress Collection for the past couple of months, and I have always managed to talk myself out of “needing” them. I finally caved in and purchased them a few days ago online, and I am really pleased that I did. These are glitter nail polishes, but not your typical glitter at all. Wink, Wink, Twinkle is the most gorgeous neon purple, and I adore the effect these polishes give off. To see photographs and swatches, read more…

When I was invited to take the Flavor Over Fizz Challenge, I was excited and a bit nervous to say the least. I fall into the “not-a-huge-soda-drinker-but-get-tired-of-water” category. I do occasionally crave my diet soda from time to time, especially with certain meals, but I tend to simply get bored of plain old water. Even when dressed up with a shot of lemon, I still eventually want something with some flavor, some pizzazz to it. You know how I feel about keeping the inside of your body healthy and hydrated for your most beautiful canvas to work with, always. Crystal Light, meet South Carolina. It’s hotter than ever, the humidity is enough to steam your glasses, and South Carolina is need of a serious Crystal Light Cooldown. Everyone adores a beautiful looking drink, so why not dress it up to match the flavor? To see what happens when Crystal Light meets South Carolina, read more…
