Friday Beauty Blog Reads

I am totally distracted at work today... probably because it is my last friday at this job and I just want it to be happy hour already... $3 Lemon Drops at VODA lounge! So excited, why can't it be 5pm NOW!

So what am I doing to kill time... reading Beauty Blogs of course! Here are some great reads for the week:

Yummy411 discovered Clarins Spring collection Colour Fizz... full of POPING color! Gorgeous. I'll be scoping it out for sure.

Beautiful Makeup Search covered the beauty looks of the SAG awards quite nicely. More or less it was all smokey eyes and nude lips... I can handle that!

The Beauty Addict found a great valentines gift for your guy... if you can bear to part with it! I really must get myself out to the 'burbs and into a Target soon!

Cupcakes Taste Nice went on a major Sephora shopping spree and picked up some favorites and surprizes. Can't wait to read her reviews, especially on CARGO's TexasLash Mascara! Wonder why she got that one... :)

Although not beauty related, The Daily Cookie reviewed the highly regarded and extremely expensive SF resturant Michael Mina. Warning, don't read if you are hungry... the pictures are just torture!

Mikaela's Jet Set Beauty found a hair spray (really a wax spray) that actually holds her waves all night! I am going to have to check this one out. I want Gossip Girl Hair too!
