Jennifer Lopez usually looks flawless, but this picture left me wondering – “what was she thinking?”  Why would you pick such a horrible color to fill in your brows?  Maybe she was trying to match her brows with her hair?  I’m not sure what the goal was here, but I don’t think she pulled it off.  Choosing a color closer to your natural shade might have been a better choice!

Here is Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony at the Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring/Summer 2009 women’s collection fashion show.  Also pictured, Matthew McConaughey and Camilla Alves.

Well, miss Jenny From the Block, I have the PERFECT brow filler for you!  If you’re like me, you might have a couple thin area’s in your brows.  The perfect filler – is Anastasia’s Brow Filler.  It’s absolutely wonderful!

Anastasia’s Brow Filler a spring loaded powder tipped sponge duo for eyebrows.

The unique powder formula is designed to be slightly damp so that it can adhere to the skin, versus brow hair allowing one to build color only where it is needed.

Brow Filler offers blonde on one end and brunette on the other, allowing you to use one side or blend both shades for a customized color match.

Recently I was sent a big package full of samples from International Orange.  I was really excited to try them out because I’d read so many wonderful things about their products online. 

I tried each of the products listed below, and honestly – I could never choose a favorite.  They are each amazing.  If I had to pick something out as the best – I would lean towards RESTORE a hair wash, and NOURISH a hair cream.  My hair smelled and felt amazing.  When my husband snuggled in for bed after I had used it – he kept telling me how amazing my hair smelled.  And it did, it was truly amazing.

I use ANOINT a body oil after I’ve taken a shower.  I rub some on my wrists, and behind my ears – and I smell like I’ve spent the day at the salon.  It’s just the most relaxing smell, it’s wonderful.

I haven’t used the small sample of BATHE a bath soak quite yet, because I’m saving it for a special occasion.  At $75 for 16 ounces, I’ll wait until I’ve had a really bad day.

I’ve recently fallen in love with everything Anastasia.  Their eyebrow products are unparalleled, and in my opinion – each one of you should have at least one of their products.  I was recently sent a product to review, and I instantly fell in love with it!  It combines two of my favorite products into one! 

Go here to see past reviews on Anastasia products.

I think my all-time-favorite Anastasia product, is the new Brow Duality.

So after 4 years staying home with my kids I decided I wanted a part time job that wouldn’t conflict with my kids schedules. So a few weeks ago I started working at Starbucks for the flexible hours and great benefits and mainly FREE COFFEE! Since starting there my favorite thing is a long bubble bath after work so I have plowed through all my bath products.

I just found a new set from Philosophy called Coffee House with caramel mocha latte, eggnog latte, and café au lait. Now I can drink my latte while I soak in one.

The Coffee House
What it is:
A set of three coffee-scented, high-foaming shampoo, shower gel, and bubble baths.

What else you need to know:

When I first opened my little pot of Loose Lips NY Indelible creme shadow I was worried that though I loved the plum color it was too heavy for a shadow. I was happy to see how buildable the color was though I could keep it really light or add a little more for a dramatic look.

The most amazing thing about Indelible Creme Shadow is how long it lasts. I applied it first thing in the morning and at 11pm the color was still as vibrant as when I applied it and it has little tiny sparkles that make your eyes look great without overwhelming it truly lives up to its indelible name!

Indelible Creme Eye Shadow

Do you love our indelible gel eye liner? Well you will just adore our newest member to our family- the creme eye shadow. Goes on like a creme, but dries as a powder. Waterproof and long wearing.

I was at Target the other day, and looking for an everyday lipstick.  One that won’t fade, and will last for hours.  I looked through all the major brands, Cover Girl, Max Factor, Maybelline.  I finally settled on Revlon’s ColorStay lipstick, and I absolutely LOVE it.  I loved it so much, in fact, I went back and bought another one – in a different shade.  My favorite shade is Rich Raisin (see below).

This lipstick goes on smooth – then quickly dries and sets.  It stays on, almost all day.  Through eating and drinking, it remains beautiful, and I’m so happy to have found such a great (inexpensive) lipstick!

Lipstick so soft and smooth you won’t believe it’s long-lasting. Exclusive formula with SoftFlex® for hours and hours of luscious, feel good color in one smooth step. Stays gorgeous, stays creamy, stays on. In 30 full-coverage and 6 sheer shades.
