Make Up For Ever Super Matte Loose Powder

The other day I literally had 5 minutes to run into Sephora and get a foundation powder to replace my Laura Mercier Mineral powder that had run out. Unfortunately the Sephora store in downtown San Francisco doesn't carry Laura Mercier so I was forced to look elsewhere. I've been meaning to try out some more of Make Up For Ever's products so after running around the store, I headed straight to their display and saw their Super Matte Loose Powder. Quick as a flash, I grabbed up what I thought would be a good match for my skin and hurried to the checkout.

Well, I've been using the powder for a week now and I have mixed feelings. It is very matte, which I like, but the coverage is minimal and isn't nearly as buildable as the Laura Mercier. Reading the description on Sephora.com, I now know it is ment more as a setting powder than a foundation by itself. Guess its not always a good idea to grab and go when it comes to makeup. I also think I went a little too light with #14, especially for summer. I've been wearing SPF 30 everyday like a good girl but my skin seems a little tanner than it did a few months ago. Oh well, better luck next time. I think I'll have to head over to the other SF Sephora and pick up the LM powder I love so much. I can use the MUFE as a setting powder, or as a lighter foundation once my skin clears up some more.

Powder Lovely.

A Spa Facial in the Shower

Clean & Clear has re-vamped their packaging and product offerings and I am all for it! You know me, I love a good bargain so I was easily tempted into trying out their new stuff (or at least it looks new!). The first thing I grabbed was the Soft In-Shower Facial. I always love washing my face in the shower, especially with something I can leave on for a bit while I shave or suds up. This stuff is perfect for that. You squeeze about a quarter sized dollop out and then apply it all over your face. It has a slight gritty texture, just enough to feel like it is sloughing off dead skin without feeling like you're rubbing sand paper into your skin. Then you let it sit and do its magic while you go about the rest of your shower business. I leave it on while I shave my legs, so about 3 minutes, but 1 minute is enough if you are in a hurry. It has Glycolic Acid it it, a great AHA (Alpha-Hydroxy Acid), clay, and natural fruit acids, all of which promote cell turnover, essential to clear skin! after it sits, you want to massage it into your skin a bit before you wash it all off with warm water. My face feel really nice afterwards. It doesn't dry it out, but it leaves it feeling clean and fresh, the ultimate goal of good cleansing! I will definitely try some of their other "new" products as well, since I loved this one so much, especially at a nice bargain price of $6.99!

Shower and Scrub Lovely!

Pretty Pink Manicure from OPI

I'm a sucker for a cute pink color for my tips. Not anything too crazy, just soft and light and of course pretty-pretty. At least, that is what I was in the mood for when I reached into my rather full traincase of products and pulled out an OPI nail polish I'd bought months ago but never eevn opened, tried on, or taken the wapping off! Craziness, i know but that is what happens when you buy as many products as I do... disgusting really.

Pink-Ing Of You is part of OPI's Soft Shades collection. It is quite subtle, but if you do two coats, its gives you a sheer cotton candy look. So pretty-pretty! Sounds like my nails will be all set for the summer solstice party this weekend.

Pink Lovely!

Celebrate National Pollinator Week with Burts Bees

Ever thought about all the delicious and nutritious things we get from bees? It's not just honey, ladies! They produce tons of products that serve as healthy ingredients for beauty products.

June 22 – 28 is National Pollinator Week and Burt’s Bees wants to give the little pollinators their moment in the spotlight for all the work they do in providing us with healthy products that keep us looking BEE-utiful. Want to learn a little bit more about the bee crisis and what you can do to help? OK... AND win a prize??? Of course you do!!!

Bring back a BEE fact from one of the pollinator friendly resources below:

o Burt’s Bees (www.burtsbees.com)

o The Pollinator Partnership (www.pollinator.org)

o Haagen-Dazs Honeybee program (www.haagendazs.com)

Post your fact in a comment below with your email address (I'll edit it before it gets posted) and I will send the first 5 people a Radiance Kit from Burts Bees. This set includes travel sizes of their new radiance line, which uses Royal Jelly, a very special substance made by the worker bees to feed the queen bee. Royal Jelly is considered to be one of the world's most nutrient-rich substances, packed with 134 nutrients, including 17 amino acids and vitamins A, C, D and K, as well as multiple B-vitamins. No wonder it helps the queen grow to 40 times the size of worker bees and live 50 times longer. Sorry you international ladies, we can only ship within the USA.

Burt’s Bees is also giving away free seed packets on their site – so everyone can win! Check it out and love your BEE-utiful self!

L'Oreal Skin Genesis Review

I had the opportunity (Thanks Total Beauty) to try two of L'Oreal's new highly advanced products from their Skin Genesis Line. They call it Multi Layer Cell Strengthening Skincare. Basicaly they have developed this patented ingredient, Pro-Xylane™, an exclusive L’Oréal molecule that strengthens skin and reignites cell activity layer by layer, and combined it with hyaluronic acid, a natural hydrator found in your skin. These together are supposed to strengthen and tighten your skin, while evening out its tone. Here are my thoughts:

L'Oreal Paris Skin Genesis Daily Treatment Serum Concentrate: I have to admit, I think I'm too young for this product, but I was given the chance to review it so I thought I would give you all my honest opinion, even if it's from a young perspective. I like this serum well-enough, but I didn't seem to see much of a change in my skin. It feels fine when I put it on and it absorbs pretty quickly, which is good since you need to wait until it does to apply the moisturizer (which I did like). The technology behind it does sound convincing, and maybe I need to look at it as a preventative product. I may not have aged skin yet, but if I use this I might hold it off that much longer. At $20, its not so expensive to unwarrant a shot!

L'Oreal Paris Skin Genesis Daily Moisturizer: I liked this light-weight moisturizer a lot. It gave my combo skin just enough moisture without making it greasy a few hours later. It doesn't have suncreen, which bummed me out a bit since I still have to put one on top, but it makes my skin very soft and makes makeup glide on very nicely. Its a bit pricey at $24 for a drugstore product, but they often have sales and two-for-one offers, so keep your eyes out for a deal and try it out. I do love the packaging on both products though. It is very sleek and sophisticated for a drugstore line. Good job L'Oreal.

Test Lovely!

Friends and Family Discount at MAC!

I got the email yesterday, but wasn't able to share the news with you all until now (Thank god they extended it through Tuesday July 17th at 11:59 PST): Get 15% off at MAC.com AND free shipping!!! Not bad huh? Just use the code MACFF08 at checkout.

I have been staying away from MAC for awhile, trying to broaden my horizons, but now seemed like a good time to jump back in! Here is what I ordered (only two things... this girl is on a budget!):

Tendertones Lip Balm SPF 12 in Sweet Tooth, a sheer coral with a white pearl. It sound perfectly pretty for the summer months and I need a go-to lip balm/gloss with some sun protection! The pot its in is also very cute.


Eye Kohl in Haycinth, a golorious-morning blue (their description, not mine, but it sold me!). I love soft eyeliners and I need a fun bright color for a change. I've heard good thing but never tried MAC eyeliners, so we shall see.

Shop Lovely!

Sale alert at Sephora!

Don't know if you guys know the secret way to find sale items at Sephora but it won't be secret much longer! All you have to do is type "sale" into the search box at the top left corner and it will send you to the sale page, which doesn't have a direct link otherwise.

Right now they have a few Sephora brand accessories and mascaras. It looks like Napoleon Perdis will be leaving for good, seeing as the whole line is marked down 50% online and in stores. I also noticed Bourjois is out of stock in a lot of items and I think it might be making its way out as well. So now would be a good time to stock up.

Some things I'm going to snatch up:

Sephora Brand Metallic Flat Clutch ($7, originally #14) in Silver or Maroon: This is such a cute little case, perfect for a few pieces of makeup or even as a wallet.






Napoleon Perdis Light Patrol Luminizer Palette ($30, originally $60): this disc of luminizers has every shade you'd want to create a glowing good look.








Napoleon Perdis Color Disc Eyeshadow ($11, orginally $22) in beige pink or heather. Both shades are shiny and fun, yet still neutral.

Happy Father's Day with Every Man Jack

Father's day is fast approaching. Like this SUNDAY! So if you still have no idea what to get your old man, I have a quick fix for you: head to Target and pick up the the Beginners Luck Kit from Every Man Jack.

This set includes everything your pappa will need to get clean and shiny, without feeling girly or fruity. It includes face wash, shaving cream, face lotion, body wash and soap bars all in their "signature mint" smell. It's perfectly clean and fresh with being overly powerful or cheesy (i.e. those nasty body sprays boys in high school douse themselves in). It also comes in cedarwood and fragrance free, which my very picky dad would actually prefer. Oh and it comes with a handy zipper bag for travel.

For $24.99, you are getting all your dad needs, and not in small quantities I might add (all are full size products). The package is very manly, woodsy and stuff. He'll love it, I promise.

Gift Lovely!

Treat Your Skin With Bioelements Vitalization

For some reason, even though its almost summer and actually quite warm in San Francisco these days, my skin is still really dry. If I don't shave for a few days (out of pure laziness) and don't moisturize my legs get all itchy and dry. Well thank goodness the considerate people at Bioelements Professional Skin Care sent me their new body cream called Vitalization. It banished my dryness in one application!

I like this creme because it has all natural ingredients like shea butter, red tea, botanical oils (apricot kernel, olive, rice bran, grape, black current, sunflower seed oil, bergamot, cardamon, and clove!! That a lot of botanicals!), and beta carotene, which converts to vitamin A to help smooth skin. It smells good, lightly herbal yet not obtrusive. It smoothed away any rough spots and lasted all day long without being slimy.

Try it out for yourself. Bioelements is available at their spa nationwide or at SpaLook.com or DermaStore.com

Tips for a Long Lasting Summer Pedicure

Need help to make your pedicure last as long as possible during the summer? Neri Ortega, nail expert of Butterfly Studio Salon, recommends the following for a long lasting, perfect manicure without chipping:

1. Following a hand massage, it is vital to clean the nail bed twice with acetone or acetone free nail polish remover to make sure that there are no emollients left on the nail- a clean, oil free nail bed is the most important part of a lasting manicure, as it creates a clean surface to begin on.

2. Continue with a protein based base coat- this is key in keeping polish from chipping. A strengthening treatment like OPI's Nail Envy, works wonderfully to keep nails strong, and polish from chipping.

3. Following the application of polish, a good basic top coat is needed. Neri recommends Essie, and prefers classic top coats over "quick dry" as she finds that quick dry top coats tend to peel faster.

Pushing back cuticles rather than cutting them will also help a manicure last longer. To keep nail polish looking shiny and new, and cuticles from looking dull and ashy, she recommends a good cuticle moisturizer like Solar Oil- the oil treatment will multi-task to keep your manicure going for extra days.

Go Safari This Summer

I found this great eyeshadow palette at Sephora today and I had to share. It has great pigment and fun safari colors perfect for an exciting, playful summer look. I usually got for cool tones, but these browns, greens and golds captivated me. Pick up on of the Giraffe Eyeshadow Palettes at a Sephora near you... or try the Zebra one for more cool tones. Their safari bags are really fun too. Oh I could get in so much trouble in that store. Wait, I already do!

Find Your Next Fragrance At Sephora

Are you one of those people who has been wearing the same scent for the last 10 years? Well maybe its time to look for something new... seriously, get out of that rut! Or maybe you are like me and every time you get close to finishing a scent you just want to try something new! Call it fragrance ADD but it is too much fun. Besides, you end up with a whole collection of fragrances to choose from everyday.
Sephora has this great tool on their website called Fragrance Finder. You can enter either a scent or brand you already like or a notes you enjoy (floral, fresh, woodsy, etc.) and it leads you to new scents to try. Sephora has such a wide variety of fragrances to choose from, you're bound to find something you'll like and from a brand you might not expect. Also Sephora generally has a wider selection, especially smaller sizes and fun things like rollerballs that allow you to try the scent for a little bit less cash.

I entered in that I liked LAMB by Gwen Stefanie. I've written about it twice before but I'm never satisfied wit its lasting power. The finder suggested, among other things, Gucci's Envy Me. I've smelled this before and liked it, but I'd forgotten about it. Guess I'll have to check it out now.

Scent Lovely!

Conceal On The Cheap

My favorite stand by concealer is still CoverGirl Fresh Complexion Concealer. I found it online one day, looking for a cheap way to get some quick coverage with the overly made up look. Now whenever I find it sitting on the shelf in Walgreens, I snag it up! It really covers my dark circles under my eyes and even covers blemishes with a little blend of the finger. It's still a light coverage though, so I don't look like a clown with spots all over me. Fabulously flawlous without trying too hard.

Conceal Lovely!

VO5 Flirtations!

This is a fun game of flirtatious good times! You sign on as a girl or a boy (I'm assuming most of you out there are girls...just a guess), and enter you date of birth and "name" (pick something fun and cute!) then it matches you with two boys that are actually online. I got to be the Judge, which meant I picked questions/flirtations to ask the "bachelors" and then voted for either one based on their answers. The answers are pretty funny. One of my guys was major rico suave and the other was cute boy-next-door (much more my type!). In the end you pick the one you like the best. Online flirtations! What's next cyber dates?! Crazy technology. But try it out! You might have some fun.

Sex And The City Movie

I had a great time going to see this on Friday with some of my girls. It was all that I could have expected and more. I think I teared up at least 8 times. We all grew up with these women and the emotional attachment we feel to them is ridiculous. The fun outfits and beautiful New York scenery makes it pleasing to the eyes and any hopeless romantic will fall in love all over again with these woman. GO SEE IT NOW!!! I know I will be again.

Love Lovely!
