The Weekly Roundup: Posts You Might Have Missed - Makeup and Beauty Blog
Don't you merely beloved the mall? I mean actually love it? Yesterday I spent half the day at one, and it was glorious! — not the mall, but the experience. The mall was just okay (Northgate in San Rafael). They do accept a Macy's and an H&Thousand…but that's about it. Oh, and a See'southward Candy (YES! I'll have a complimentary sample, nom nom nom).
It was nice to exist abroad from the reckoner for a while, ya know? I forget sometimes how many hours I spend online…
I finally defenseless The Social Network, too, and I idea it was much better than I expected, not that I thought it would be bad at all. I know the reviews have been great, and a lot of you gals have been urging me to encounter it, only I idea really? — El Hub, I practically live online as it is; can't nosotros see a movie about vampires instead?
And and so final weekend we did encounter the motion picture about vampires 
(Allow Me In, loved it!), so this fourth dimension information technology was either The Social Network or Jackass 3D. 'Nuff said.
I thought it was just a solid, well directed film, and the interim blew me abroad, especially when you consider the amount of boundless dialogue. Some of the lines are delivered so fast they'd requite David Mamet whiplash! Seriously, the actors must have been mainlining caffeine on the set.
Anywho, I hope yous're having a good weekend so far. What have y'all been upward to? Can y'all stay awhile (I'll make the coffee)? We tin can chitchat and take a expect dorsum at some of the things we talked about this week.
NEUTROGENA RAINBATH
REFRESHING SHOWER AND BATH GEL
Hmm… I honestly don't know what Tabs would take said about me if he'd known me back in my Neutrogena Rainbath Refreshing Shower and Bath Gel phase ($viii for an 8.5 oz bottle), aka the late '90s, aka my social club kid days.
"Meow," peradventure?
In his short kitty lifetime, he's merely known me as his cranky, uncool mum â€" the boring ane who hits the haaay every dark at 10.
He probably would take liked the late nights and parties because, back then, that's how I rolled.
My, how things modify. Read more than…
SMASHBOX WISH FOR THE
PERFECT Frown
Er, can you guess who'south been listening to Eric B. & Rakim?
I'm still auditioning songs for The Ultimate '90s Hip Hop Playlist (keep those recs coming!), and today, while listening to Don't Sweat the Technique and swatching the new Smashbox Wish For The Perfect Pout ($29), information technology hit me â€" this hip hop classic kinda reminds me of this limited edition vacation kit.
Have you ever tried putting on an opaque, bright gloss without a mirror? It's difficult, right? It requires sweating over one's lipgloss technique, so to speak. You gotta get the colour even and if it goes beyond your natural lip line you lot look all kinds of crazy… Yeah, I've totally washed this before, and it'due south non cute.
Merely with the glosses in Wish For The Perfect Pout, it'south all gravy, as Tabs would say. The six shimmery shades become on with dissimilar degrees of sheerness, so if I accidentally apply besides much, the contrast doesn't look as stark as it would with a total-coverage gloss. Shoot, I could probably put these glosses on while doing the butterfly (think that trip the light fantastic?) and notwithstanding come out looking semi-sane. Don't sweat the technique, indeed.

DIOR Vacation 2010
5 GOLDS FACE OF THE Day
The $58 quint too goes by the more marketable stage name, the Dior five-Colour Eyeshadow Palette in 5 Golds #001, and it's 1 of ii new Dior eyeshadow quints for holiday 2010.
The v metallic shadows aren't equally pigmented as usual for Dior, but they certainly do shimmer!
Based on the colors, I'm not entirely sure why Dior chose to call the palette Five Golds. Two of the shades (the silvery ane, and the 1 on the far left in the swatch pic beneath) don't accept whatever (or very little) gold in them at all. Read more than…
NARS Vacation
2010
Holy wow, pumpkin! All I have to say is werk!
I'1000 not talking work like cubicles, time sheets or lame vacation requests, but the neck swerving, hair flipping, three snaps in z-formation kinda work â€" the kind of work NARS obviously put into their holiday 2010 collection.
For the holidays, information technology's dainty to see something almost traditional â€" with lots of golds, silvers, berries and plums â€" from such an untraditional make.
Just I did say "nearly." 🙂 After all, this is yet NARS we're talking about. The colors are a casual affair, many of them shimmery and saturated but not heavy or foreboding. Read more…
KIKO MAKE UP
MILANO
Not gonna lie, merely shopping at Kiko Brand Up Milano was hella stressful.
I checked out ane of the large Italian brand'due south freestanding stores in Milan last calendar month, and it was PACKED! Wall-to-wall teenagers, makeup and Japanese tourists, except for one brusque, brownish dazzler blogger and a really clueless American dude who zigzagged into the shop, held up a shopping list on his phone and bellowed to no 1 in item, "I need to bring all this dwelling house to my girlfriend or she'southward gonna kill me." HA HA! Seriously, I couldn't make this sh*z upwardly.
There wasn't a lot of room in the shop to move around because every foursquare inch was covered with makeup (stimulus overload!). Enhancing the effect, they blasted loud techno music, so it was kinda like being in da order, or a makeup hybrid of Forever 21/Claire'south/Abercrombie and Fitch. Read more…
DIOR HOLIDAY 2010
EYESHADOW QUINTS
Whoa, what'southward this? A vacation collection that really looks like a holiday drove?!?
Become out!
Dior decided not to break with tradition while they broke abroad from the pack with a classic vacation colour palette in shades of gold, black, gray and pinkish.
They must have figured they'd exit the springy holiday stuff to their luxury counterparts (Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana) this time around.
Good call. 🙂
Four of the nine items in the drove (bachelor now in stores) are palettes. Palettes have been playing a big office this flavour, and it looks like they as well were over at Dior HQ.
Here's a quick look at both of the eyeshadow quints and a pricing/availability breakdown of everything in the release. Read more than…
SMASHBOX WISH Drove
HOLIDAY 2010 FIRST LOOK
"What should I wish for?"
"I don't know. Peradventure i these new limited edition kits from Smashbox."
"OOH! Those are pretty."
"I know! They simply came out with their holiday collection, Wish 2010."
"Wish? Oh, very punny. Wish. I become information technology now."
The four new kits range from $16-46 each and come with diverse combinations of products for eyes, lips, cheeks and face.
In the holiday spirit, Smashbox plans to donate $1 from the auction of each Wish drove purchase (upwardly to $25,000) to the Children'due south Miracle Network.
Even though that kind of thing tin seem similar a marketing maneuver, it isn't always, and the fact remains â€" it's something that quite a few cosmetics companies only never do (donate a portion of sales to charity), then I say "Expert job, Smashbox!" 🙂
Take a peek at these production pics and swatches of two of the four new kits, Wish For The Perfect Pout ($29) and Wish List ($49). Read more…
VERONICA MALIBU
SEAWEED AND PINEAPPLE BODY SCRUB
I dearest a good meat tenderizer as much equally the adjacent gal, merely I didn't look to observe one â€" make that two in my new body scrub!
No, indie skin intendance line Veronica Malibu does not have quality command problems at their manufacturing institute. The meat tenderizers I found in this jar of Seaweed & Pineapple Body Scrub ($28 for a two-oz. jar) were added deliberately, and they make the product stand up out in the crowded field of peel scrubs.
Lately, I haven't been in the mood for annoying or painful scrubs; I want something kinder and gentler, and then when I establish out that h2o, aloe vera gel and seaweed were the superlative three ingredients in Veronica Malibu'south new scrub, information technology piqued my involvement.
