Proactiv Gets Some New Faces

The recently engaged Katy Perry and recently separated Avril Lavigne are said to be the two out of three new faces for the face wash brand Proactiv.  The company is looking to refresh the brand with new celebrities as well as new packaging.  If this works out well, I may go back to using the products ;).

essie has created three sweet colors for the upcoming winter season. There's Lollipop-candy cane red; Rock Candy-sweet treat pink; and Mint Candy Apple-a creme de menthe mint. All of the colors are yummy, but the Mint Candy Apple will probably sell out the fastest.

For Breast Cancer Awareness month, essie has released a special Yes We Can, Pink polish. According to essie.com, "a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Living Beyond Breast Cancer (LBBC), a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering women affected by the disease."

Review: Cover Girl Lash Blast Luxe

I purchased the CG mascara in the Black Platinum color hoping that my lashes would sparkle like Drew's in the ad. Sadly I was disappointed. Though I did see a bit of sparkle, it looks more like white tiny flecks of spots than anything. Maybe this works better for someone with lighter lashes and I must say that my lashes didn't feel hard after applying the mascara. But again, I bought it for the sparkle, not the softness.

Fruity Fingers

There is a huge possibility that I'm a bit late on this new Revlon nail polish craze. Anyhow, I came across it today and still felt the need to share. To sum it up, it's a nail polish that gives off a fruity scent once it dries. Don't believe me? Here's the word from Revlon:

Revlon® has developed a gorgeous color collection of luscious nail enamels. The 8 shades are inspired by the freshness of exotic summer fruits and infused with succulent tropical scents. Each fruit shade has a matching fruit scent when the enamel is dry.

The 8 yummy shades are: Coconut Crush, Mad about Mango, Pretty Papaya, Sublime Strawberry, Raspberry Rapture, Passionate Fruit, and Not So Blue-Berry.

Me and Mally Roncal

Sorry for the delay on the Henri Bendel x Mally Beauty in store session.  Let me just start by saying that Thursday morning was pure drama and I almost decided on skipping the event.  But after a deep breath and a shower lol I got myself together and made my way to 5th Avenue.  

Let me just say Mally was the sweetest and cutest thing ever.  She went around to everyone at the Mally counters getting their makeup done and you would've thought everyone was her long lost girlfriend.  Once she got around to me I couldn't control myself.  I told her how much I loooved her products and MallyBeauty.com (ps she even recorded me for the site) and that I had also taken the day off of work just to see her.  I can't tell you how many times we hugged and laughed together!!  When I was checking out she even asked to take a picture with me (sorry for the frizzy hair lol).  But I had a blast and Mally has noooo idea how much she turned my day around :)

In case you were wondering (of course you were) I can't live without my Shimmer Shape and Glow in In the Pink Deep, Mally Beauty Cancellation Concealer 3-piece System in Rich, LightWand Eye Highlighter& Brightener and Life, Love & A Really Great LipGloss in Life is Fuchsia... but of course!!

if you didn't know Mally is the one who created the J-lo glow, has done a ton of faces for Beyonce and is the regular makeup go to guru for Tracy Reese. check out some Mally video, pics, and products at Mally Beauty.

Nailin' it: II

i got the idea from my girl Jewels to stop paying others to do things that i can damn well do for myself. i haven't gotten tips put on my nails in sooo long and i was getting tired of seeing my digits look so bare. i have a habit of buying nail polish as well and then i never use it. so last week i put a stop to things and started with the homemade nail art. this is my first attempt at my manicure and i used Essie polish in Steel-ing the Scene and Art Club's Nail Art Lacquer in black and white. viola!
