Chanel Holiday 2011 and a Glamorous Trader Joe’s/Petco Face of the Day

October 28th, 2011 by Karen 26 Comments

Oh, for the love of Frodo, thank the Lord of the Rings for Chanel!

Coco was exactly what I needed today to change my point of view.

Despite my best efforts to auto-correct, all week long I felt disheveled, disorganized and undisciplined (company visiting from out of town plus the trip last weekend = completely overwhelmed). I think I’m finally getting my sh*t together again, thanks in no small part to Chanel.

This morning I took Coco’s Holiday 2011 collection out for a spin, and where did we go?

Here’s a hint: it’s where Mango Bars and Baked Cheese Crunchies come from. 🙂 Some folks call it Trader Joe’s.

For a Limited Time, Eyes Will Smile from a Mile Away with the New 15-Piece Estée Lauder Pure Color Cyber Eyes Collection

October 28th, 2011 by Karen 26 Comments

Estee Lauder Pure Color Cyber Eyes

My, oh, my, what’s this I spy? It looks like the new Pure Color Cyber Eyes collection from Estée Lauder is here.

Rich pigments and metallic finishes define this 15-piece limited edition release for eyes. With the collection, which is coming soon to Estée Lauder counters but available now online, EL introduces a completely new line of all-in-one liquid/powder/gel eyeshadows. The Pure Color Gelee Powder EyeShadows ($24 each) have an amphibious formula designed to be worn either wet or dry.

The release also features six new shades of the company’s Pure Color Intense Kajal EyeLiners ($20 each) and three jewel-toned Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Mascaras ($23.50 each).
