Neutrogena MoistureShine Lipstick

Heather — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 12:23:26 +0000

These lovely Neutrogena MoistureShine Lipsticks found their way into my cart the other week since they were 50% off at Osco. I’d been eyeing them for some time, but didn’t really want to spend $9.50 on a lipstick I wasn’t sure I’d want to keep, but the fact that these lovely gems have SPF 20 and summer is (theoretically) coming around the corner, I decided to pick these up in Pomegranate, Peach-a-boo, Anything Rose and Sheer Luck. These are really lovely, and the darker shades are very pigmented: the pomegranate was a very berry red lip. Sheer luck and Peach-a-boo were obviously lighter, and are lovely summer colors. Anything Rose is a lovely Rose shade that’s a my lips but better shade.

They’re really rather moisturizing, and I ended up running back to the store to pick up Angel’s Blush after checking out the wonderful swatches at Sasquatch Swatch.

I must really like these, actually, as I forgot to throw a peach lipstick in my bag this morning, and ended up at Walmart to repurchase the Sheer Luck shade so it can be a permanent staple in either my bag or desk drawer.

MoistureShine Lipstick comes in 20 colors: Angel’s Blush, Anything Rose, Berry Burst, Caramel Kiss, Cherry Twist, Coral Dream, Electric Currant, Just Whisper, Mauve On, Nude Blush, Peach-a-Boo, Pinch of Cinn, Playful Plum, Plum Paradise, Pomegranate, Poppy Red, Rum Raisin, Sheer Luck, Think Pink, Tickled Pink.

Sephora Beauty Insider Sale!

Heather — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 17:01:33 +0000

I was doing a very good job ignoring (mostly) the 15% off sale that came in my inbox from on of my favorite stores ever. That is, until April decided to IM me last night and show me very pretty things. Now I have about 6 things in my cart, including these super cute CK nailpolishes that look perfect for summer:

Also sitting in my cart pending indulgence are the Sephora Brand Flashy Liner Waterproof in Flashy Copper and Flashy Green($8), Sephora Brand Blush Me Twice - Coral Bronze($8), ck Calvin Klein Fashion’s New Face Signature Collection($39), and Dior 5-Colour Eyeshadow – Twilight 140 - Twilight 140 ($56). I did get a pretty nice tax return thanks to the moving bonus I got from my previous company, so I can do my part to stimulate the economy, but I’m waffling on the ck Signature collection, but that nail polish is so incredibly pretty!

Here’s the details if you’re interested – it is for Beauty Insiders only, but it’s free to sign up to be one!
