The new Bite Beauty Lip Rouge in Nectarine ($22) doubles as a cheek and lip color.
I’m taking it for a test run today…

It doesn’t have to be a perfume, per se. You could be rockin’ your favorite deodorant (not gonna lie, I do love me some Dove Go Fresh), a body splash or a body butter, even.
Today I’m wearing Gucci Guilty Perfumed Body Lotion ($50). I’ve been majorly stuck on the Eau De Toilette since September, and now I can’t seem to get enough of the lotion, which on me smells like a lighter version of the original scent.
What about you? What fragrance are you wearing today?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Sweet! The UPS dude showed up this afternoon with the new Bite Beauty Define & Refine Lip Set ($36), available now at sephora.com.
I’m wearing the red lip pencil around the house right now with my pajamas, haha.

Right now it’s raining like the powers that be left the shower on upstairs, but I’m not letting the wet weather get me down. Assisting me today in my pursuit of perkiness are this hot pink ribbon…

…and Tabs, who sent me the following text from his iPhone.
Woman, I’m in the mood for something bright. Tie this thing around my neck before I swipe your ankles.
Love ya,
Tabs
P.S. Real cats wear pink.
I usually just roll my eyes and click DELETE when he sends me crazy texts like this one…from upstairs, but I derive great joy from seeing him bop around the house in bright colors, so I was happy to oblige.
Doesn’t the ribbon go well with these bright new Rouge G de Guerlain Serie Noire Jewel Lipstick Compacts ($46 each)? They’re part of a new four-piece limited edition lipstick line released for spring.

Rouge Sensuel on the top and Fuchsia Delice on the bottom

What do ya think of the black lacquer compact? Pretty sleek, right? Each one holds one tube. Guerlain did that special for this release.

OMG, where’s the UPS dude?! I keep running to the front door to check for a Sephora package I ordered last week, and then, seeing it isn’t there, stomping grumpily all the way back to my desk.
Gah! The package I’m waiting for contains goodies from a line of natural lip products called Bite Beauty, and I’ve been eager to sink my teeth into them…
Ha! Sorry, you know I can’t resist a bad pun. ![]()
When the 50-piece lip line’s lipsticks, liners, glosses, pencils and lip treatments materialized on Sephora’s website earlier this month, I incorrectly assumed that vampire politics played a role (Bite Beauty?), but that was just my inner Twilighter/True Blood-er jumping to supernatural conclusions.

If you’re ever looking for cheap entertainment on a Friday night, Target is THE PLACE to go. I’m only half kidding, too. I stopped by last Friday around 9:30ish to satisfy a craving for Power C Vitamin Water, and the store was hoppin’!
People buy some weird sh*t in the middle of the night, LOL! Like Vitamin Waters. I spent more time people watching than actually shopping.
But I did swing by the beauty aisles; I picked up this bottle of Yes To Carrots Pampering Conditioner for Normal to Dry Hair ($8) on a whim.
Like their Yes to Cucumbers Conditioner (SO GOOD!), this one is also free of petroleum products, SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate), paraben and silicones. At the same time, it’s cruelty-free and 99.8% natural, made with minerals, the company says, that were collected from the Dead Sea, as well as other cool stuff like carrot seed oil and honey. It’s a very diverse group of mostly natural ingredients.
