Wish List: Bobbi Brown Basic Eye Palette

As a beauty addict I have tons of shadow palettes, however, throughout the years I have noticed that I continually come back to Bobbi Brown's.  Thus I am including her new Basic Eye Palette on my wish list.  The palette includes Navajo Eye Shadow, Cement Eye Shadow, Heather Mauve Shimmer Wash Shadow and Mahogany Eye Shadow.  These colors are perfect to create a subtle day time look or a smoky evening look.  Overall the perfect palette to keep in your purse for those "I need to look hot in under 5 minutes" emergencies!

Wish List: Jack Black Lip Balm Trio

In rare cases, products for women need to take notes on products for men, case in point? Jack Black Lip Balm.  There are a few products that all women steal from the men in their lives, mine is Jack Black lip balm.  This silky balm soothes my lips like none other, especially in the cold of winter.  I have only tried the original scents but I am so excited to test out the new ones including Natural Mint and Shea Butter, Lemon and Chamomile and Acai Berry and Vanilla.  This gift set will be the perfect holiday pick me up for anyone!

Juicy Loves Sephora Pave Lip Gloss Heart Ring

Juicy will always hold a place in my heart for their comfy, elegant clothes and their yummy perfume! I was delighted to run across this adorable lip gloss ring at Sephora! This pave crystal ring holds a tiny pot of pink tinted, citrus flavored lip gloss.  While I am excited about the gloss, I am more excited about the cuteness that is this ring! I mean seriously, could it be any cuter? This product is a total multi-tasker, it doubles as an adorable, sassy accessory as well as an emergency gloss stash! Im definitely going to be running over to Sephora to pick one of these babies up!

Daisy: Eau de Parfum

I am one of those girls who can never settle on a "signature" fragrance, however, last year I found one that still hold the #1 spot in my heart, Marc Jacobs Daisy.  This lovely, fresh fragrance has notes of strawberry, violet leaves, ruby red grapefruit, gardenia and violet petals, providing for the perfect mix of femininity and spice.  While I love this perfume, it is not really a "going out" fragrance. Enter the NEW Daisy Eau de Parfum! This new, more concentrated, version of the original is perfect for those nights when you need something a little bit extra.  This will definitely be going on my wish list!

Sunsilk Captivating Curls

My hair is a annoying combination of curly/wavy/stick straight so I am always looking for products that will hold my curl, define my wave and keep my hair from being a crunchy mess.  I think I may have found that in Sunsilk's Captivating Curls Gel/Cream.  This product is a very pretty lime scented swirl of curl cream and curl gel.  Each pump delivers the perfect amount of each product, providing for beautifully defined curls with no frizz or crunch.  I tested this product out the other night and even went out without any hair spray, I was nervous, as you can imagine.  When I got home about 6 hours later I immediately headed to the mirror to check out my hair, I was amazed to see that my hair looked just as good as when I had left.  I was even more surprised the next morning only to discover that my curls were still intact....that NEVER happens!!!!  This product has earned a permanent spot on my bathroom shelf!

Jergens Naturals: Renew

I have to admit, I am not usually a fan of Jergens, however, this new one has compeletly changed my opinion of the line.  The light, fruity scent is perfect and the formula is super moisturizing.  This luscious lotion contains grapeseed oil, blueberry extract and pomegranate extract to give skin a boost of moisture as well as slather it in antioxidants.  While the formula is rather thin, thus far the lotion seems to be very moisturizing,  even for my ashy winter skin.  Another plus is that the formula is 93% natural and contains no Parabens, which is always a plus.

Charlize Theron: Gold Smoky Eye

Today as I was perusing Total Beauty, I stumbled across an article entitled, 7 ways to look gorgeous for the holidays, and knew I had to take a peak. Two of the seven looks caught my eye, first of which Charlize's gorgeous golden/brown smokey.  Following the directions total beauty give, I applied gold shadow (Smashbox champagne) all over my lid and then a dark brown mixed with taupe in the crease (MAC Era and Espresso) then lined my eyes with a smudged combination of gold and taupe. Next I lined the inner lower and upper rims with UD 24/7 Eye Pencil in Zero.  While I like the way it turned out, its not an exact replica, I think I need to work a little bit more with the gold, I haven't found the right shade yet.  I highly reccomend reading this article as they give some great ideas!
