Here’s a sneak peek at the new Tweezerman for Benefit collection, which hits counters next week.
More deets in just a few. 🙂

Are Milani’s Infinite Liquid Eye Liners Drugstore Duping MAC?
When it comes to long-lasting brush-on liquid liners, MAC’s Liquidlast Liners pretty much set the bar for me, combining rich color AND awesome extended wear time. Once I even left a swatch of it on the back of a hand, you know, to see how long it would last? No joke — TWO DAYS!
Yup, and that includes showering and washing my hands. 🙂
Liquidlast has rockin’ wear time and comes in a bunch of fun colors … but they’re not exactly cheap ($18.50 each).

Tabs woke up wearing this necklace with no recollection of how it got there.
I guess he had a really raging St. Patrick’s Day!
What did you end up doing? El Hub and I went to a pub called Finnegan’s, and then we hit up the Mickey D’s drive-through.
New Dolce and Gabbana Makeup for Summer 2010: The Midnight Bloom Collection
Smooth Eyeshadow Quad in Fabulous, $59
What’s up, sunshines? 
I love spring and all, but I wouldn’t mind fast forwarding to summer, summer, summertime and the release of Dolce and Gabbana’s upcoming Midnight Bloom summer makeup collection.
Dolce & Gabbana doesn’t do drugstore, and this luxurious eight-piece release for eyes, lips, face and nails costs a pretty penny, but lovers of beachy greens, corals, pinks and blues might find it hard to resist.
I haven’t tracked down the exact release date yet (lemme know if you find it), but I’ll update you when I do.
Take a quick look at these promo picks, and holla at me in the comments if anything catches your eye. 🙂

Honey, Lancome’s Juicy Tubes Are Turning 10!
Good golly, where does the time go? I remember when Lancome’s Juicy Tubes were brand spankin’ new, yet now they’re turning 10.
10!
Lancome’s releasing a limited-edition collection of four glosses to celebrate the big one-oh, but they probably could have tweaked the name just a bit…
Are ya ready? Take a deep breath and say it with me. They’re called the Juicy Tubes 100% Natural Origins Ultra Shiny Lip Glosses.
Whew! What a mouthful. 🙂
“Hey, girl, have you tried those new Juicy Tubes 100% Natural Origins Ultra Shiny Lip Glosses?” Just rolls off the tongue, LOL!
Luckily, from the color I tried today, they taste damn good. This afternoon I wore Rose Pretty, a sheer reddish pink, and danced around my living room to Biggie’s Juicy… “It was all a dream, I used to read Word Up Magazine!” Could. Not. Stop. Licking. My. Lips.

Oh, Dior … glow on with yer bad self! Your new 5-Colour Eyeshadow Palette in Crush Glow ($58) makes soft, shimmery summer looks that much easier to create.
One of seven items in the Addicted to Dior Summer 2010 collection (available next month), Crush Glow’s shadows radiate a gentle luminosity that totes reminds me of pearls.

Do the Seasons Influence Your Fragrance Choices?
Top o’ the mornin’ to ya, ladies! 
Well, top o’ the late mornin’/early afternoon. 🙂
It’s almost spring, and soon we’ll bid bon voyage to the blizzards still buffeting the Northeast and elsewhere, and the seasons WILL change, which for me means packing away the heavier perfumes like Stella, Coco Mademoiselle and Givenchy Irresistible and busting out some lighter, fresher scents for a time.
A few of my warm weather standbys? — Prescriptives Sheer Calyx Exhileration, Kenzo Eau de Fleur de The Tea and Bath and Body Works Rainkissed Leaves, but I also plan on adding a few new fragrances to the rotation like CK One Summer and Eternity Summer (the pics above).
- CK One Summer ($44): A citrusy unisex scent with notes of watermelon, pear, mandarin, lime, violet leaves, marigold, verbena, water lily, musk and vetiver
- Eternity Summer for Women ($54): A watery floral with notes of grapefruit, ginger, passion flower, peony, freesia and musk
Do the seasons influence your fragrance choices, and are there any scents you come back to year after year?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. Have a wonderfully lucky St. Patrick’s Day, gals. 🙂 Are you wearing green?
