Fruit Scents for Summer!
Bah! It’s so overcast and foggy here. Welcome to summer in the Bay. On days like this, I need a jumpstart to get me in a summer mood. I’m a fragrance person, so I love using scented lotions when the seasons change. For summer, I like light florals and fruit fragrances. I recently road tested four different summer fruit scents for Makeup and Beauty Blog. Here’s the skinny:[Continue reading…]
Product: MAC Sheer Mystery Powder in Dark
Use: As a face powder.
Price: $45.00 for a compact; also includes an additional refill
Makeup and Beauty Blog Rating: A+

While I like the thought of having access to all of my makeup while I’m on vacation, I don’t want to have to carry it around from plane to train to car to boat to rickshaw to … well, you get the picture. Basically I don’t want to haul around more than I have to. And I also don’t want to risk breaking or losing blushes, eye shadows and other products while I’m in transit. [Continue reading…]
Fellow Beauty Network blogger the lovely Kia from yummy411 tagged me yesterday!
Here are the rules:
Each player starts with 7 random facts/habits about themselves. People who are tagged need to then report this on their own blog with their 7 things as well as these rules. They then need to tag 7 others and list their names on their blog. They are also asked to leave a comment for each of the tagged, letting them know they have been tagged and to read the blog.
I kinda changed the rules a bit and did two separate lists, one beauty related and one not. What can I say? I like lists.[Continue reading…]
