Currently Loving Heidi Klum's "In An Instant" Wrinkle Eraser

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:55:00 GMT

Anyone remember when I posted about Heidi Klum's "In an Instant" wrinkle eraser ...wondering if any of you had tried it? Well, I did. And let me tell you- it is amazing!

I got the entire "In an Instant" skin care system ...but must admit that my absolute favorite product is the Wrinkle Eraser. Now, I don't really have huge wrinkles yet but between my eyes {my "furrow"} and my forehead are beginning to "line up" ...and at an alarming rate it seems ...or maybe I'm just getting too close to the mirror. At any rate, this wrinkle eraser totally does the trick! Read On...

Review: Ink for Eyes by Urban Decay

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:41:00 GMT

Buying Urban Decay Cosmetics is like buying art. Their creative packaging designs, although not always the most practical, certainly grab attention and lemmings. My knees weakened when my love for cream/gel liners met Ink for Eyes by Urban Decay... How could I have resisted the beautifully detailed peacock print? After reading several good reviews for this cream liner, I caved and got one in Binge. Read On...

Cheap-O Fridays: Olay's Clay Mask

Hello Lovelies,

It's time for another installment of "Cheap-O Fridays: Favorite Beauty Products Under $10." Please share with us your affordable favs by submitting your post here.

I stick to a pretty minimal skin routine. I don't like to break my budget for products. However, whenever I need an "overhaul" or want my face to feel like new I turn to Olay's "Deep Cleansing Clay Mask." It costs anywhere between $6-$8 at your drugstore for a 4 fl.oz bottle which has lasted me a long time (3 years...I would say).

The directions are pretty simple. Just apply to dry skin avoiding eyes and mouth. Let it dry for about 5 minutes (I usually go about 10) and then wash off with warm water. The bottle says it: "Get a deep down clean tat goes beyond basic cleansing. The rich kaolin clay and marine extract formula detoxifies by drawing out impurities like a spa facial to give your skin a fresh start." I would agree!

The only down side is it's hard to get off just by your hands so I usually a face cloth. Don't forget when getting the mask off be careful that you wash your towel immediately afterward because it will stain blue! It has happened to me before.

Have you used this product? Do you use any face masks?

Purple, Pink, and Orange Eyes

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:23:00 GMT

This look was one of my very first YouTube tutorials that I posted early last year and I've yet to redo it til now. I've been wanting to for a while because I love it, so it was definitely time! It's kind of a smokey purple with a bright twist to it...and fairly easy as far as blending the colors goes. It was just about layering. More Here...

Review: Lancome's Expensive Genifique

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:14:00 GMT

I first read about this product on the newspaper before the official launch in malls. Lancome sent out 5ml samples for people to try out the product and I was lucky to lay my hands on one of these.

The retail price of $170+ (Singapore Dollars) may be expensive to many, and seriously, I was pretty skeptical about the product and its "youth-activating" promises initially. I was thinking it could be one of those marketing strategies whereby the fancy price adds value to the efficacy of the product.

My 5ml tube sample lasted me at least a good 12-14 days. I was supposed to use it twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. However, that 5ml tube was so precious to me I used only at night. Read On...

Beauty No, No: July 4th Face

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 15:04:00 GMT

I'm not sure if others call it "July 4th Face," but I do! A rule of thumb that most women live by is to only have ONE bold feature when wearing makeup. Such as a smoky eye, or red vamp lips. However, rarely should you ever have both. It can be really unflattering.

A great example of this is wearing blue eyeshadow with red lips. It's too much! Its hard to pick a place to look. If you want to wear blue eyeshadow then it is usually best to pair the look with a natural lip shade, or even go nude. More Here...

Have You Tried Clean & Clear Products?

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:36:00 GMT

Okay Lovelies,

I recently bought this cleanser and used it today. I went to a store to buy the acne scrub and wash I regularly use. Neutrogena's "Stress Control Oil-Free Power-Clean Scrub." However, it was a bit expensive and I'm tight on cash right now. So I bought the Clean & Clear's "Continuous Control Acne Cleanser" yesterday, and tried it today. More Here...

Lovelyish Advice: Hypo-Allergenic Eyeliner

I love how black eyeliner makes my eyes look - dark, mysterious, "punky", even, because I love that type of music and lifestyle. But it's time to finally face facts: I'm allergic to eye makeup! I found that out as I was driving home from work recently, I had on black eyeliner, and my eyes just randomly decided to start burning and tearing up. More Here...
