First Look at Mariah Carey’s Lollipop Bling!

Lollipop Bling was inspired by her husband, Nick Cannon, who gave her some Lollipop Bling of her own as an anniversary gift.

40 year old diva Mariah Carey appears unwilling to let go of her youth, revealing the name of her latest fragrance to be titled ‘Lollipop Bling’. Set for release via collaborator Elizabeth Arden later this year, the fragrance  joins Carey’s existing fragrances ‘M By Mariah Carey’, ‘Forever Mariah Carey’, and ‘Mariah Carey’s Luscious Pink’.

NEW Urban Cowgirl 5 Minutes to Gorgeous Kit

I was just sent the 5 minute to Gorgeous Kit to review and I am really impressed. The whole makeup kit comes in a cute little paisley makeup bag that caught my attention right off the bat. Today I got my first chance to check out the makeup and it works even better than it looks!

The concealer is really creamy and did a good job at covering up imperfections. The standout for me was the blush and eyeshadow, the texture is amazing and the color is perfection. I use the Absolutely Peach blush and its the most beautiful pale pink, I would never pick this color on my own but its stunning on. And the 3 in 1 eyeshadow Eye Bling in Slate makes my eyes pop. I only tried it as a shadow and it blended so easily but the color is striking and I have had no problem with creasing.

Such a great makeup kit everything all in one pouch and its not just cute they are great products. Would make a great gift or reward yourself with the Urban Cowgirl 5 minutes to Gorgeous Kit.
