Saturday Surfing

January 23rd, 2010 by Karen 24 Comments

Hi, ladies. 🙂 What’s shakin’? How’s the weekend coming along? Mine got off to a great start. I woke up to sunshine, huzzah! It didn’t last long (it’s actually hailing now), but it sure was nice to see the sun for a change. Tabs even got to go for a quick walk.

After our walk, I just chilled in front of the computer for a couple hours while I drank some tea and nibbled on toast and peanut butter.

Here’s some of the cooler e-stuff I found…

Random bright spots

  • These vintage hairdryers will blow you away 🙂 — Bella Sugar
  • OPI’s Alice in Wonderland polishes blinded me with sparkle! — Temptalia
  • A tale of two vanities — We Heart This
  • Fashion-forward kittehs — The Catorialist
  • Possibly the coolest tights I’ve ever seen — Les Queues de Sardines
  • How awesome would it be to stay at this hotel in Barcelona? — The Cool Hunter
  • Thanks to Google, I just toured Stonehenge — J-Walk Blog
  • Super gross! Wash new clothes before you wear ’em, babes! — Good Morning America
  • Meet Adios Script, my newest font crush, along with other great fonts from 2009 — I Love Typography
  • Calgon, take me to Maldives!! — Aquabumps
  • 50 simple steps to happiness — NY Mag

New in stores

  • Oooh, streamlined! Smashbox’s Doubletake Lip Color ($22) has a lip liner and a creamy lip color in one pencil.
  • I’m drooling over Bobbi Brown’s Cabana Corals Lip & Eye Palette for spring ($60).
  • New from OPI: the Hong Kong collection!
  • LUSH now does spa treatments.
  • Remember the new Smashbox Lip Techs from the other day? Nordies is offering a Lip Tech, along with several other intriguing eye, lip and face goodies in their new Glambox Beauty in Bloom Kit ($68).
  • Chanel Christalle gets a lighter, fresher little sis’ with Cristalle Eau Verte Spray ($105).
  • The Shu Uemura Depsea Hydrability skincare range ($20-75) sure looks luxe!
  • Shiseido’s latest foundation has a sheer matte finish and comes in a compact ($30). Sounds promising!
  • Any rose lovers sniffed BVLGARI’s Rose Essentielle Body Lotion ($55) yet?

One of the cutest kittens, evah!

A nifty way to experience sound…

I hope you’re doing something fun today. Tabs says hi. 🙂

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    That kitten is ADORABLE! Oh my god, Karen, I almost threw up when i saw that clip. Snot, drool, uh, lady germs and FECIAL MATTER? I always loved that fresh smell when i bought things from places, so I wore it immediatly and put off washing it for a few days. Thats gross! I am in absolute lust with those Alice Polishes, they are adorable.

    Karen, i thought you would love Minx nails. It’s the coolest thing now, like a paper adhesvive you get done at the salon and it’s so cute.

    Hy! I would vote with a blending brush for eye shadow. It’s the best tool for me!

    Have a fun day!

    The vid is cute but the cat’s not saying yum yum yum, more like stay away from my food, don’t touch me when I’m eating. I’ve got one of those.
