New in Beauty
- The Harajuku Lovers Sunshine Cuties Bag Collection ($18-38) put a BIG smile on my face. 😀
- AVAILABLE NOW (ONLINE): Benefit’s Confessions of a Concealaholic ($36)!
- Sleek… The Smashbox Sweet & Sultry Beauty Kit ($53) looks sharp.
- Is this a joke? Holiday 2010 from China Glaze?
- MAC’s Riveting and Mineralize SPF 15 Foundation collections are now online.
- YAY! Laura Mercier has new Tinted Moisturizer ($42) colors for brown girls!
- Despite it’s goof-tacular name, I still wanna try Clinique’s All About Eyes Serum De-Puffing Eye Massage ($25), LOL!
- Have I ever mentioned that “Synergy” is one of my least favorite words? I guess I can let it slide in Anastasia’s Illumin8 with Youthful Synergy Complex Eye Shadow Palette ($40).
- ATTENTION (OIL SLICKERS): Laura Mercier says her Smooth Focus Pressed Setting Powder ($32) eliminates shine and makes even the oiliest skin look matte.
- Three words: HOT PINK BRUSHES!
- Both Neimans and Bergdorf’s have the new Chanel Rouge Coco ($30) lippies available online, WOOT!
- I wonder if Quelques Fleures perfume ($135) smells as lovely as it looks.
- Speaking of pretty perfume bottles, Guerlain’s Vega Vintage ($305) speaks to me (and says HOLY SHIZZ, THAT’S PRICEY!).
- I wonder if ModelCo’s ergonomic Sunsponge ($40) will make it easier to self-tan my butt. 😕
It’s Tuesday morning — do you know where your caffeinated beverage is (LOL!)? My tea is steeping, and I’m watching it like a crazed clown: “Steep faster! FASTER!! Mamma needs her fix…”
Have a great day today. I haven’t figured out my to-do list yet. Figuring out what’s on it is probably the first thing on it, though, ha!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Sarahc says
Haha! Synergy is such corporate jargon. How do you feel about pro-active Karen? I hate that one too!
Karen says
I had good luck with it. Eventually I found it too drying though (my skin changed when I hit my 30s).
Vanessa H says
The little bags are so cute, I might have to get one for my makeup 😀
My coffee is sitting in front of my on my desk, with a chocolate chip cookie lol…I need the sugar!
.-= Vanessa H’s last blog post… No Frizz by Living Proof Review =-.
Karen says
That sounds like a delish snack! Do you like milk chocolate chip cookies or semi-sweet? I’m a semi-sweet kinda girl!
Vanessa H says
*right in front of me.
Guess the coffee hasn’t kicked in yet, lol!

Alexzandra says
I wish they had come out with a Sunshine Cuties wallet too, but oh well 🙂

Karen says
Oh, I know. I would’ve totally been all over that… I love yellow accessories!
lexi says
Oh no – I bought the Marc Jacobs heart printed makeup bag becuase of you hahahaha now I’ll be buying a Harajuku Lovers pouch too!
Karen says
Oooh! You got that bag! I put it (along with a bunch of stuff) into my Nordstrom cart and then stepped away from the computer, LOL!
I got a gift card from the boy for V. Day… now I’m extra tempted.
lexi says
it’s super cute!! I used a gift card I got from my birthday way back in September….I’m surprised how roomy it is. I just have to resist the urge of over stuffing it!
Karen says
I had a feeling it would be roomy. Soo tempting!
I just got a Kate Spade makeup bag for Christmas though… like that’s ever stopped me before, ha ha.
lexi says
exactly – it’s like us saying, “no I have enough pink glosses, thanks!”
Karen says
Ha! Or “No, I don’t need another pair of black shoes.”
Jenna says
What kind of tea do you drink? I’ve been on a darjeeling (the champagne of teas!) kick lately.
Karen says
I love Darjeeling, too. Right now I’m doing a mix of Celestial Seasonings Green Tea (it has a hint of citrus) in the morning and Get Relaxed tea by The Republic of Tea in the afternoon/evenings.
What other teas do you like?
DonnaN says
Those Tarina Tarantino brushes are SO mine!
Karen says
They’re really cute, huh?
marisol says
What kind of tea do you like? I have been enjoying Republic of Tea & Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf’s different blends.
Karen says
I’ve been all about Celestial Seasoning’s Green Tea (it has a hint of citrus) in the morning, and Republic of Tea Get Relaxed Tea in the afternoon/evening. It helps me chill out…
Ooh, which Republic of Tea ones are your faves?
marisol says
I like several of the republic of tea ones. My mom knows the owner and she had like this mixed bag of different teas so I was able to try several of them. I think my fave and ones I keep repurchasing are pomegranate green tea, moroccan mint & hibiscus.

diane says
Thanks for these links, I was thinking about benefit’s new concealer kit for some time now 🙂
kiss
.-= diane’s last blog post… Not another Valentine’s day outfit =-.
Karen says
You’re welcome. 🙂
Sarah says
Ok, first with my week – I need the benefit concealer kit, I’m hoping since yo said it works for lighter skinned girls I might be able to work it!
Also, does this mean you might do a review of the Tarantino brushes?! I didnt buy the Lancome blue ones and I still regret it…
Karen says
I might. I gotta see them in person first. If they look cheesy or feel scratchy, well…
Sarah says
Wow, I should not post on here without my mid-afternoon latte, it makes my grammar even worse than normal!
Also, I stopped by Sephora today and they didnt even know what I was talking about when I asked about the Benefit concealer kit! I comforted myself with a trip to Bloomingdales…
All Women Stalker says
Those bags are cute! So summery and just plain adorable.
