Saturday Surfing

September 11th, 2010 by Karen 8 Comments

Afternoon, Saturday surfer. How’s the water?

(dips toe in to check)

OOH! It’s perfect. 🙂 I have enough time to catch a couple waves, but them I’m off to the mall to do some window shopping. I’m in SUCH a mall mood right now.

In other news, I re-watched the last Project Runway again, and you know what? That Michael C. is a class act. The way he treated Mondo after being treated poorly himself — that’s class. He may not be the world’s greatest tailor, but I like his design aesthetic and how well he works with others.

Random Bright Spots

  • Can you guess the Japanese beauty invention? — Bellasugar
  • FUN BLOG! This gal’s done a new nail polish color and/or design every single day for a year (and some of them are really cool!) — The Daily Nail
  • Mad Men fans, get ready to LOL! (thanks, @joeyglowybunny) — Sad Don Draper
  • RAD or BAD: What do you make of these unusual lipstick colors? — Refinery 29
  • Haha! I read quite a few of these books in school; some of these one-minute summaries are spot on (and hella funny!) — Book-a-Minute Classics
  • Mrrow! All aboard the cat lady train with these 5 ways to wear leopard print — College Fashion
  • I was shopping for new over-the-shoulder-bolder-holders when I came across these 5 bra-sizing myths — Knickers

  • Seriously? J. Crew’s selling $1,000 ponchos? — Styleite

New in Beauty

  • Please hand me a napkin so I can wipe the drool from my chin. These Guerlain Ecrin 6 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palettes ($84) look GORGE!
  • The Benefit Her Name Was Glowla kit ($36) comes with some tried-and-true Benefit goodies like Coralista (one of my faves)
  • Be a vision to behold this fall with the five vibrant liners in the Make Up For Ever Rock For Ever Aqua Eyes Kit ($36)
  • Sounds almost good enough to eat: these Tocca Bagno Profumato bath gels ($19 each) gently clean and hydrate with olive oil, calendula flower extract and honey
  • Benefit has four new Creaseless Cream Shadow shades ($19 each), WOOT!
  • Bobbi Brown’s Beauty Rules Palette ($45) looks fun!
  • Clarins claims their new Rouge Prodige lipsticks ($24) last and last and last (while delivering moisturizing color and shine)
  • Define those cheekbones, girl, with the Smashbox Step-by-Step Contour Kit ($45)
  • OOH! I can’t wait to sniff Philosophy Be Somebody Water Lily Shower Gel ($16)


Ever wonder what would happen if you unleashed 100 cats on Ikea?


I whip mah hair back and forth, I whip mah hair back and forth!🙂

Enjoy the rest of your Saturday!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

    Her Name Was Glowla — the name of this makes me lol!!! Plus super yay for four new Creaseless Cream Eyeshadows — one of my fave-st things in the makeup world!

    I just got back from a haircut — its a sassy bob again and I believe I have found my hairdresser of choice. His name is Daniel, and he is awesome! 😀

        Im really happy. The Hubs had his haircut there last Thurs and I liked the place. Someone else cuts his hair and I have my own preferred stylist. 🙂

    OMG – that IKEA clip is the perfect lovechild of Python-esque British humor and…cats. I bow down to that genius. Thanks for sharing the hilarity! 😉

      You’re welcome! I thought it was hilarious… although I wouldn’t mind shopping at IKEA if they had all those kitties trolling about.

    Wow! I luvvvv the Her Name Was Glowla kit! The Smashbox Step by Step Contour kit looks really nice too! Are all these companies trying to make us broke with all their awesome, of course, limited edition products? I think so! 🙂
