NOTE TO SELF: do not from multitask while thinking about Deborah Lippmann’s $42 Rock This Town Trio, because if you try to do anything more complicated than walking while contemplating the glittery polishes in this limited edition set, you end up doing bone-headed things like stepping out of the shower and rubbing face wash, instead of moisturizer, on your legs and only realizing it a full minute later.
Whoops.
Light seems to love the glitter in mauve Moon Dance, copper Phoenix Rising and blackened khaki Chain Reaction more than usual.
As do I. 🙂
I don’t know why, but these polishes are downright dazzling…like getting caught in a tractor beam powered by Ryan Gosling’s smile.
The three polishes in the kit, which is one of six holiday sets this year, are also a pretty good deal. Debby-Deb usually charges $16-18 per 0.50-ounce full-size bottle, but with this kit you get three full-size bottles for $42, or $14 each.
A good deal on some great glitter…
I also like that these aren’t totally typical holiday shades. They’re a little bit rock ‘n’ roll, but still elegant, and when I look really, really closely at each of them, I can see little flashes of purple and pink.
Nice touch, D.
PRICE: $42 for the set
AVAILABILITY: Available now at Deborah Lippmann counters and deborahlippmann.com

Sweet Honeydew Intimates!
Am I the only woman irked by the word “panties”?
No? Anywho, I’ve been needing new drawers, so I picked up a few pairs of Honeydew Intimates Boyshorts ($5 each!) on deep discount from HauteLook. I’d seen them before at Nordie’s and thought they were cute, but I didn’t want to pay full price ($14) for a single pair.
I’m glad I finally snagged ’em because they’re really great. Soft material, so they don’t ride up, and they sit low enough not to peek out from my jeans.
I also just like the little feminine touches, like the lace and bows.
I spotted a few different styles on sale over at honeydewintimates.com for $8.40 each, in case you’re interested.
I may get a couple more pairs, along with these over-the-knee argyle socks.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. How’s it going, friend? I came close to not publishing anything beauty related today because I just didn’t really feel like it after tuning in to the news, but I wanted to share something at least a little light and positive…
Sometimes I wonder about us, ya know? People. I like to believe that the world’s a good place, but sometimes it scares me. It just really, really scares me.

December 14th, 2012 at 6:38 pmHi Karen, this is a definite must-have nail collection. I’ve been out doing Xmas shopping all day and just recently found out the news of the tragedy. I’m seriously speechless as to how someone can do such an act. 🙁

December 14th, 2012 at 10:11 pmSomebody shared this quote today, and I found it helpful:
“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’ To this day, especially in times of ‘disaster,’ I remember my mother’s words, and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.” — Mister Rogers

December 15th, 2012 at 1:42 pmGreat quote. I’m Canadian and trust me when these things happen in America, the rest of the world really does wonder — how do they not see the only difference between us and them are gun laws?

December 17th, 2012 at 12:14 pmIt scares me too. It breaks my heart.. but I think we need to spread more love in the world. Let your family and friends know you love them and you’re there for them, let strangers know you care.
I love your reviews and writing style and personal snippets. It really brightens my day and goes beyond a typical beauty blog. <3
