tarte Celebutante Moisturizing Dry Oil Shimmer Spray


I happened to buy this on a whim while shopping at my local Sephora store not long ago. I am so glad I did because it's THE perfect dry oil spray that moisturizes my skin and gives it a gorgeous champagne shimmer glow.

It goes on dry so there is no mess and my skin does not feel like an oil slick. It has a light coconut scent that smells yummy! I love how my skin shimmers when I'm in the sunlight, it looks gorgeous! Because I use this everyday I now need to get another one. Sephora.com is temporarily out of stock but it's available at tartecosmetics.com

Estee Lauder New Fragrance Collections

This July Estee Lauder will be introducing two new fragrance collections:




Private Collection Jasmine White Moss
Jasmine White Moss is Aerin Lauder's third Private Collection fragrance - joining Tuberose Gardenia and Amber Ylang Ylang. While Aerin was brainstorming about her next Private Collection fragrance, she decided to check the archives for inspiration - as she often does. This time was different. When she came across the unfinished 'Formula 546AQ', she immediately knew this was it and she had to complete it. Jasmine White Moss is a fragrance that spans two generations -- started by Estée and completed by Aerin.




Sensuous Anniversary Collection (limited-edition)
To celebrate the one year anniversary of Sensuous - the #1 fragrance launch of 2008 - Estée Lauder is unveiling a limited edition lineup of new ways to drench the skin in sensuality.

Jessica Simpson Hairstyle Photos

From sleek bob haircuts to long layered hairstyles, we applaud this Texan for always changing up her look


Jessica Simpson could be single handedly responsible for bringing back the blonde bombshell persona with her big golden hair, flirtatious style and whimsical attitude. While she's been known to be a bit clueless (and play that to her advantage), she sure can look smart on the red carpet. Jessica takes her hair seriously and we do too. See some of her hair hits here.

Alegra's Closet Cleansing Tips


Whether you are in the market to update your current wardrobe, or you are transitioning your clothes for the next season, Alegra is the girl you’ve been waiting for. With extensive worldly experience in fashion, image and beauty consulting, Alegra will help you transform and update your closet into a brand new place. During this process, she will reveal her secrets on how to manage your wardrobe so that it works for you. Below are some of her basic steps to mend one fashion faux pas at a time.




Alegra’s How-tos

…4 Easy Steps to a Sucessful Closet Makeover…



1. Don’t do it alone... This is the first rule and the most important one to keep. Even the best of us have bias/distorted vision. Our wardrobes are our past time. Our entire history is kept behind those doors and re-living your past should not be done alone.

· Call over your trusted friend (or your stylist) to offer a second opinion. The colors may be fantastic and the design superb, but maybe the back doesn’t look as good as the front and you just didn’t examine the piece of clothing when you were in a shopping frenzy.


2. Organization is key... Closets should really be organized by season and level of dress.

· Buy containers and air tight packs that you can easily store clothing. The level of attire is rather pertinent also. Keep your “going out” clothing to the left and my day time clothing to the right. Everything must be separated so it is not a struggle in the mornings or the evenings when you are rushing to get ready. Then I would even further separate as to weekends and weekdays-work/play...This is where the “trying on” section begins.

3. Let Go!...If it hasn’t been worn in 6 months you need to let it go – “goodwill it.”

· When you are going through your clothing to separate the pieces into sections, you will begin to find pieces you haven’t worn in ages, even some you have never worn before. It’s okay to let go! This is the longest section of the closet cleanse. It is time consuming going piece by piece and realizing that you don’t really own any key pieces and now your wondering how you managed to get dressed all these years without them.

4. Shop & Replace…

· Now that you have successfully accessed your stock, it is time to replace the old with the new. Shop for the key staple pieces only. ONLY. And slowly, now that you have the basic tools, begin to BUILD your wardrobe.

The Body Shop HotBrights 2009 Collection



I recently received a few products from The Body Shop's new summer line, HotBrights Collection to review. I have to say that I was immediately attracted to this collection. I love the fun flirty summer colors and the new compacts that feature a pretty floral graffiti print.



Eye Shadow Duo in Cream/Blue


When I opened the eye shadow duo compact and saw the deep blue aqua shade, my first initial thought was this was not going to suit my complexion at all. I just don't wear blues well, as most seem to make my eyes appear smaller. But I thought I would be brave and experiment with it.

I was really surprised to see how good this color looked on my eyes. In fact it looked pretty darn good, especially with my newly tanned skin!
The texture of the shadows are silky smooth and are easy to blend. The staying power is amazing to. It's super versatile for both day and night and is perfect for creating a dramatic look.

The only negative I found is that the color creases. Next time I will use an eyeshadow primer.









Hot Brights Blush Shade 01 Pink

This is a cool vibrant pink and a pale pink toned blush duo. Texture is soft and easy to blend. To apply just swirl your brush through both shades or you can use the dark pink on the apples of your cheeks and the lighter pink to highlight your cheek bones.
This blush did not suit my skin tone as it made me look washed out. I think it's best suited for cool toned complexions. Just my personal opinion.
