Estee Lauder Golden Jewel Compact with Pink Shimmer Powder

While traveling via plane this Holiday season, amid a layover with nothing to do but wait, while not go shopping? Exclusively at an airport near you, Estee Lauder has launched its Golden Jewel Compact with Pink Shimmer Powder this month.
This new golden compact is adorned with a delicate butterfly motif on the lid. It houses Estee Lauder Signature Shimmer Powder that delicately highlights and gives radiance to any complexion. A small brush applicator is also included and is protected in a matching pink suede pouch.
I personally think it looks very feminine and pretty. What about you?

Product Find: It Cosmetics

Product Find: It Cosmetics

It Cosmetics wasn’t something I stumbled upon on my own, a reader (thanks Renee!) brought it to my attention. It Cosmetics is waterproof makeup to enhance or hide certain aspects of your body. According to the site, the different techniques applied when using the makeup can define your abs, minimize or enhance your chest, minimize cellulite (yes please) conceal your double chin and so on.
The pictures are pretty amazing and the CEO has been the makeup artist to such shows as Baywatch (so that’s why Pam Anderson’s boobs looked ginormous) and Miss USA.
I’ll be honest, I’m not sure I believe …read more

Mommy Makeup Any Wear Creme

Mommy Makeup Any Wear Creme

Don’t be mislead by the “mommy” in the name of this beauty brand, while it surely is targeted to busy mom’s like myself, the makeup is perfect for any woman who is on the go or in need of simplifying her beauty routine. Today I had the chance to try out Goldilocks and Twinkle, two golden copper type eye shadow cremes.
Mommy Makeup’s Any Wear Creme is a 3-in-1 makeup product. It triples as an eye shadow, a highligher to your blush and as a lip color. Goldilocks is a copper/bronze and Twinkle is a pink/gold (although I feel like it …read more

Benefit Cosmetics Gilded

Benefit Cosmetics Gilded

Gilded, from Benefit Cosmetics is a tequila gold highlighting pencil. As my friend Jason says, “Metallics are the new neutral.”
Benefit says, “It’s like 24 carat gold in a stick!”
I have to say, I love this little golden pencil. It’s nice and soft, so it glides across your skin as you apply it. I’ve used it across my brown bone, under my lower lids and on my lips under my 24 sexy gold lip gloss.
Gilded gives a nice shimmer without taking over–it merely compliments any other colors and products you are already using.
Have you tried it?

Jelly Pong Pong Venus Magical Pearls

Jelly Pong Pong is a quirky cosmetics company. I love how they add humor and an interesting take on their makeup, but their latest product, Venus Magical Pearls is a little on the fancy side.
This pearl colored jar comes in a small hat box-like package. I received mine in Goddess Skin, and from the packaging, I first mistook it to be a skin care product. I was surprised when I opened the jar to find amber colored little balls or “pearls.”
Venus Magical Pearls is a multi-tasker, much like myself. You can use this product to highlight your cheek bones and …read more

Twisted Fayte Radiate Cream

I have been sitting on this little gem since the beginning of December. Do you know how hard it was not to write about it? However, I had no choice because it was top secret over at Twisted Fayte and I had to keep this all to myself until its launch.
Thankfully, this product, along with 2 other products I received, launched yesterday. Finally I can tell you how much I love it!
This mineral makeup is a highlighting cream. The one I received was in Radiate, which is a sheer nude pearl. It has more shine and shimmer than this picture …read more

Benefit Cosmetics: Moon Beam

When I was applying Moon Beam, my youngest son was in the bathroom watching me…because I can never seem to get away from the kids…he began to laugh at me as he thought I was putting nail polish on my cheeks. It is kind of funny that the product really does look like a bottle of nail polish.
Moon Beam is a highlighter that is a natural golden pink. While the site says it works best on olive, tan and darker skin tones, it made my pale complexion shimmer. I made X’s at the apple of each cheek as the box …read more
