I HEART Nick Arrojo!


This is a picture of me and my lovely friend Rebekah with the one and only NICK ARROJO! My hubby (bless his heart) surprised me for my 29th birthday and sent us lucky girls to NYC! Not only did he put us in an AMAZING suite on the 38th floor in the Mandarin Oriental, he sent us chocolate cake, champagne, and made hair cut appointments for us with Nick.

My hubby must be tired of watching TLC's What Not To Wear.

Anyway, Nick was so friendly! He is MUCH more handsome in person than he is on TV. He gave us great cuts, and took some serious time on our hair. He gave Bekah bangs and he gave me a cute bob. Each hair cut costed around $150. Pretty reasonable for him, IMO.

My husband tried to get us appointments with Carmindy, but she was out of town. Bummer!

Looking for a Hair Cure? Wen by Chaz Dean delivers!


You get for what you pay for. This is a REALLY awesome product! I love it, my husband loves it, my daughters ages 4 and 2 love it. (believe it or not my four year old has hair like an adult, and it leaves her thick hair slippery and tangle free)
This is so nice. I would have never tried it but I stayed at my SIL's and she had it in her shower. I was so excited to try it and was blown away by the result I got in just the first use. Loved it so much I bought it on QVC in the large gallon size.
This is my favorite beauty product of 2011.

My rating 5/5

Rimmel's Lasting Finish- Barely Lasting!


I'm going to spoil all the good reviews! Sorry but there is nothing lasting about Lasting Finish Foundation by Rimmel. Plus the warm ivory in 102 is too dark for my ivory skin. So the combination of the two equals a bad match for me.
While this is a thicker consistency, it does not cover as well as other similar drugstore formulas such as Revlon's Colorstay or even CG's clean makeup.

My rating 3/5

Clinique- Colour Surge Eye Shadow Quad


I'm really becoming a Clinique Girl! Great combination of pinky browns. Love the shimmer in the pink and how all the colors gradually work together to make my blue eyes pop.

My rating 5/5

Blistex Complete Moisture


I own this in an updated version in a blue squeezable tube. I really like this during the winter and wear it underneath my lipstick or gloss. I like this MUCH better than Burt's Bees lip balm.

My Rating 4/5

Estee Lauder- Nutritious Vita-Mineral SPF 10


Purchased this at the end of the summer because my Double Wear was gettng too heavy.
There is nothing positive to say about this foundation.
I was matched the lightest shade, but it appeared to darken dramatically after wearing only an hour or two. Also started off looking cool but warmed up on my skin making my face appear pink.
The coverage was minimal.
If you are looking for light to medium coverage, I recommend the Double Wear Light. The color stays true. Double Wear is always good, but definitely more coverage.

Rating: 2/5

Clinique Brow Shaper


Love Love Love! Own this in 03 Wheat shade which matches my naturally blonde brows perfectly! I used to use a pencil, but I found this powder looks more natural and the brush that it comes with is VERY nice and handy.

My rating 5/5
