MAC lip pencils in Naked Liner and In Synch from the Too Fabulous Collection

These shades of nude and pink were missing from the MAC lip pencil line-up. For now they are limited-edition (all the good stuff is), so buy them while you can or hope they make them permanent.

iPhone users can virtually try on OPI polish to see how the color may look on their skintone. OPI also offers this on their site but it’s pretty cool to be able to do on the go if you are in-store considering a purchase or waiting in the salon for your mani/pedi. Just select a hand in your skintone and start trying on the over 200 color choices.

Springy prints will appear on pieces in the women’s, men’s, children’s, accessories, home and garden, and bedding lines! I think I need the teapot and piggybank at least! The Liberty of London for Target collection launches in stores on

March 14, 2010, only three days after the Liberty for London MAC Collection drops.

I’ve been eyeing this Jurlique Rosewater balancing mist for months now. The $31 price tag keeps me from actually purchasing it. For now I’m using Heritage Rosewater, $4 at Whole Foods. The bottle isn’t anywhere near as pretty to look at, but it does the job

Rosewater is great for oily or problem skin because it gently tones and balances the skin. I like using it to set makeup and as a refresher mist throughout the day, especially in the Summer. You can even keep it in the refrigerator for an extra cooling sensation. I saw this video and thought I’d share it. It pretty much sums up the benefits of rosewater.  It also makes me want to finally splurge on the Jurlique. Thanks Bella TV

BB cream is a skincare item that originated in Germany for people recovering from cosmetic surgery. The public BB cream craze started in Korea after actresses started using it in place of their normal skincare routines. Cosmetics companies ran with it and turned it into a product widely available to the public. It is now extremely popular in almost all Southeast Asian countries.
BB cream AKA Blemish Balm Cream acts as a moisturizer, sunscreen, concealer, and foundation in one. It is also thought to be very beneficial to the skin, with anti-aging properties and ingredients to heal problem skin. BB creams even out the skintone while offering medium coverage and brightening properties. All these benefits while still having the finish of natural skin, Sounds amazing right?

The downside is that currently this product is only made for those with very light skintones. They come in 1 or 2 color choices and I would fit in the darkest color range. This means if you are darker than NC30 in MAC, this product will probably not match your skin. Southeast Asian countries are known for their obsession with pale skin. This probably explains the limited color options. I think if this phenomenon makes its way to the U.S. there would be some additions to the color ranges.

One popular brand of BB Creams is Skinfood. I actually visited a Skinfood Store while I was in Manila and picked up their Mushroom Multi-care BB cream. Check out my random video clip and listen to the song that happened to come on while I was in the store.

Would YOU be interested in using BB cream if it was widely available to you?
