Milani Baked Blush – Fantastico Mauve and Rose D’Oro

Amanda — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 12:29:02 +0000

There is just something about baked and marbled beauty products that draws me in like a moth to a flame. The varied colors are always so pretty and hard to resist. And that’s exactly what drew me to these Milani Baked Blush ($6.99). I decided to try two of them, Fantastico Mauve and Rose D’Oro. Fantastico Mauve is gorgeous in the pan. It’s a dusty mauve base with swirls of bright pink, purple and white [...]

Chili’s Inspired Queso Dip

Amanda — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 22:17:02 +0000

It’s Super Bowl weekend! I think it’s everyone’s favorite day to indulge in finger foods. In honor of Super Bowl dips and snacks, I’m sharing this recipe for Queso Dip. Chili’s restaurant has a killer cheese dip on their menu called Skillet Queso. Hubs and I devour it every time we go there. I’ve always wanted to try making this at home and came across a knockoff recipe online. It’s not exactly like the Chili’s [...]

What’s On My Nails – Essie Play Date and Wet n Wild Believe Me, It’s Real

Amanda — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 19:59:22 +0000

To beat the winter times blues, I went with a bright color this week to remind me that Spring is just around the corner. Even though that darned groundhog predicted 6 more weeks of winter today, I’m still going to stay hopeful. Essie Play Date is a very pretty lavender cream color, it’s darker than lilac purple but not quite grape. I topped each ringer finger with two coats of Wet N Wild’s Color Icon [...]

Covergirl Natureluxe Mousse Mascara Review

Amanda — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:14:36 +0000

Don’t let the plain packaging of the new Covergirl Natureluxe Mousse Mascara ($8.99) foul you. It may not look impressive on the outside but it’s an amazing mascara. I passed it by several times myself because it just looks like an average mascara. Finally I said what the heck and figured I’d be returning it because it was lackluster. Not the case…at all. Natureluxe mousse mascara comes in both regular and water resistant formulas. I [...]

Maybelline 24hr Color Tattoo Eyeshadows – Bad To The Bronze and Tough As Taupe

Amanda — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:09:40 +0000

After I initially fell in love with the 3 Maybelline Color Tattoo eyeshadows I purchased, I heard so many good things about the color Bad To The Bronze. I originally passed it by in the store because it looked more gold in the packaging and I was already buying the Bold Gold shade. After I looked at several swatches online, the color grew on me though and I had to have it. I’m glad I [...]

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter – Creamsicle

Amanda — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 12:42:23 +0000

I still can’t get enough of these Revlon Colorburst Lip Butters! My first purchase was the Cotton Candy, Peach Parfait and Brown Sugar ones. Then I bought Creme Brulee, Pink Truffle, Lollipop, and Candy Apple followed by Sweet Tart and Strawberry Shortcake. There’s not that many colors left that I don’t own. And now I’m adding one more, Creamsicle. The Creamsicle Revlon Lip Butter is a pale peach color. On my fair skin it doesn’t [...]

Bare Escentuals Magic Wand Brushless Mascara Review

Amanda — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 17:39:52 +0000

I’ll admit that the first time I saw the Bare Escentuals Magic Wand Brushless Mascara I was pretty skeptical as to how it would work. I mean seriously, how could you possibly apply mascara without a brush to comb it onto your lashes? So me being curious, I put it on my Christmas wish list and Santa brought it for me and I’m just now getting around to posting about it. Surprisingly, I really love [...]

MyGlam Bag – January 2012

Amanda — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 00:23:54 +0000

January 2012′s MyGlam bag was only their second month in operation and not surprisingly, they had some issues. Apparently they had some trauma with shipping out the January MyGlam bags so most people’s bags were late. Some people were not even going to get their bags for some reason and were refunded for this month. Luckily I was not one of those unfortunate subscribers. Again this month’s MyGlam bag was pretty impressive. January’s bag contained [...]

QVC’s New Beauty Test Tube For Spring 2012

Amanda — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:13:22 +0000

My spring 2012 New Beauty test tube of samples from QVC is here! I’m on the auto delivery plan and this is my third test tube out of six total shipments. I previously posted what I got in my first New Beauty test tube and the fall New Beauty test tube. I love these QVC New Beauty Test Tubes because they are a great value. You usually get a few full size products along with [...]

Maybelline Dream Nude Airfoam Foundation Review

Amanda — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 12:30:00 +0000

Well, I didn’t think I could be any more disappointed than I was in the Revlon PhotoReady Airbrush Mousse foundation but I was wrong. This Maybelline Dream Nude Airfoam foundation ($10.49) is terrible! Basically it’s the same concept as the Revlon mousse, air infused foundation packaged in a metal can. You’ve really got to shake this can a good bit or you’ll get white foam out with little pigment. Once you shake your arm off, [...]
