April 14th, 2010 at 8:46 amGirl – love me some P&J. Some of their glosses are on sale on Beauty Habit.com – I’m finally going to order more P&J product. It’s LOVE!
I want to test out those Two Faced glosses – they sound lovely!
Karen says
April 14th, 2010 at 10:29 amOh nice! I’ll have to check the sale out. 🙂 Thanks for the heads up!

April 14th, 2010 at 2:03 pmFYI – did you know that there’s a new Dior tinted moisturizer?? I just grabbed a sample at Sephora today. I’m hoping it offers good coverage and even though it’s only offered in 3 shades – the #2 which is good for medium complexions is a nice color on me! And I had the hardest time trying to find a suitable LM tinted moisturizer. I think this may only be at Sephora??
Karen says
April 14th, 2010 at 3:05 pmYeah, I did. I’ve got a few TM’s to test so I haven’t gotten around to trying it. I loooove the Hydraction one so hopefully this one will be just as good! Let me know what you think of it once you take it for a spin.

April 14th, 2010 at 8:51 amJust checked out the link to the Too Faced Aqua Bunny bronzer, and it looks so pretty 😀

April 14th, 2010 at 11:15 amIm sitting here trying not to be tempted …. the Hubs and I are going to go buy some dutch ovens @ Le Creuset this coming weekend and ive earmarked my play money this week for that. Plus – theres a CCO in that outlet mall too ….
Maybe if I “just look” ill be okay …. 😀
Karen says
April 14th, 2010 at 1:48 pmOh, lovely! I’ve always like the look of Le Creuset but have never taken the plunge because the pans are so pricey. Do you think they make a noticeable difference in the taste/quality of the final food product?
lexi says
April 14th, 2010 at 2:05 pmI have a Martha Stewart version from Macy’s – that does the trick. I believe Giada de Laurentis has her own line at Target too. I don’t know if Le Creuset makes a real difference but it would be nice to own. Yeah right now my wallet can only afford the lower priced dutch ovens!
NINA says
April 14th, 2010 at 2:50 pmI told the Hubs that there are versions out there that are in the mid range of prices. But he says we might as well get the real thing … hes paying for most of it, I believe.
Plus – he would much rather shop at an outlet mall (roomy, outdoorsy, theres space to sit outside etc etc) than go to a mall or even Target. He hates those places (and I love Target a LOT!!!)…..
Karen says
April 14th, 2010 at 3:06 pmGood to know. I’ll have to track down Giada’s next time I’m at Tar-ghay!!
NIna says
April 14th, 2010 at 5:36 pmGiada’s stuff are pretty cute … love the colors!!!
NINA says
April 14th, 2010 at 2:48 pmIm a HUGE fan of one pot cooking …. thats why ive always wanted a dutch oven. I also am the designated dishwasher at home so one pot means will work to my advantage.
I dont own one yet but ive seen my friend make a stew in one, and make a cobbler in another. I was awed. I dont think it affects the taste per se but I did notice that there is no “metal” aftertaste in the food she made.
Plus they colors are so prettyyy!!!
Karen says
April 14th, 2010 at 3:06 pmOooh, what color are you getting?
NIna says
April 14th, 2010 at 5:38 pmI want the green and the yellow pots. Maybe a big and 2 mid sized. 🙂 They also have red and blue …
Theres another brand (whose name escapes me at the moment) – and theyve got gunmetal. That brand is a little pricier than the Le Creuset.
lexi says
April 14th, 2010 at 3:23 pmMe too! I have made a leek/potato soup and a chicken and brown rice meal. I have yet to make a cobbler in mine.
NIna says
April 14th, 2010 at 5:39 pmMy cobbler recipe is pretty easy – fresh berries (or peaches) tossed in some sugar and splenda at the bottom of a pan. Then I mix up flour, sugar, milk and 2 eggs and pour it on top. Sometimes ill make up a crumble when im feeling particularly industrious.
Ive a feeling my easy cobbler will work on the cast iron pot!!!
Karen says
April 15th, 2010 at 9:48 amY’all are making me hungry!
Kristen says
April 14th, 2010 at 11:20 amSaw the pre-sale for Opulash last week…you can bet I’ll be there on 4/22!
Karen says
April 14th, 2010 at 1:47 pmI’m pretty intrigued, although I’m still very enamored with Studio Fix Lash.
Amber says
April 14th, 2010 at 11:42 amDefinitely will have to try Lip Insurance once I run out of MAC’s Lip Prep + Prime! I wonder if it will be too drying.
.-= Amber’s last blog post… Captive wildflowers =-.
Karen says
April 14th, 2010 at 1:46 pmI’m really curious about it too… I hope it’s moisturizing!
Melissa says
April 14th, 2010 at 1:28 pmI’d like to check out that Urban Decay palette but I’m a little wary of the shadows mixing in with the glosses. Besides they’re having a Nars artist come in my local sephora and I’m sure my budget will be toast afterwards…
Karen says
April 14th, 2010 at 1:46 pmNice. Do you have an idea of what you might be picking up?
amy says
April 14th, 2010 at 6:49 pmOh Paul and Joe, you had me at Hello for your gorgeous packaging.

April 14th, 2010 at 11:10 pmoh i love the urban decay face case set! whats the 3 shadows they always use the same ones a lot on the kits.
Dawn R says
April 18th, 2010 at 2:41 pmThat Shu Uemura Gem Glam Collection looks so enticing and fun. It just makes it more disappointing that the makeup line is being phased out of the U.S. I read on The Beauty Girl that we’ll still be able to buy everything online (http://thebeautygirl.com/?p=3210), but isn’t going to the makeup counter to see everything up close and try before you buy part of the fun? Bummer.
