Juice Beauty: Green Apple Peel Sensitive

Sensitive

I am quite fond of Juice Beauty, I have never tried anything from them that has been sub-par.

The Green Apple Peel did scare me a bit at first.

I read/hear "peel" & think of Samantha on S&TC before Carrie's book

launch...

Juice Beauty's peel does not take off your face.

I'm not going to lie, there was a bit of burning at first--

but more of a mild discomfort than

a perming-solution-on -face feeling (thank you, 1980's for teaching these valuable lessons).

The feeling wears off quickly, I didn't even get it during subsequent uses.

End result= skin clearer, more refined, softer.

Totally worth any initial discomfort.

Lipstick Love Part II: Urban Decay

In this post, I talked about how I had ordered a lipstick from Urban Decay.

I now have had my UD Apocalypse lipstick for about a month and a half.

It's pretty awesome. I call it the "Killer Popsicle." This refers to the case, not the shade.

The shade is a deep blackberry stain that can be put on as lightly or heavily as desired. It's has good, creamy consistency, above average staying power, and a nice anisette-type smell.

I'm thinking that Urban Decay is more about high-quality than its edgy reputation implies. A good, solid brand.

It's a great idea that you can just wipe and go with these. They are ideal for after a night out and you want to wipe off your make up before you hit the pillow. Best part, the pile stays moist after opening them. I just wish they would take off my waterproof mascara.

Julie Hewett~Palettes

FROM BROWNSQUARED:

Julie Hewett has been working the makeup scene for decades, appearing in InStyle, Oprah, and other well-known publications. Her makeup is soft, workable, blend-able, and controllable. I recently started using a Julie Hewett "palette" and can't get enough! Julie Hewett cosmetics provides several varieties of the palette, and even offers a "couture", or personalized combination!! Whether you choose to mix and match your own colors (options shown below) and add a personalized message or name to the back of the packaging (no joke!), or go with a pre-designed selection (I've been using "capri" religiously), you're guaranteed an amazing foursome of color in a sleek, chic compact. This is a fantastic gift idea for any lovely lady in your life (and not a bad treat for yourself!!).

Bobbi Brown~Coral Reef

Spring is just around the corner-celebrate the season's arrival by ditching your firetruck red lipstick and trying on Bobbi Brown's 2010 Spring collection!! Bobbi Brown cosmetics never ceases to impress and this family of cool corals is no exception. I claim this lip color the must-have for the Spring season (especially in "Coral Reef")!!
