Calling All Ladies for Beauty Advice!

Okay Ladies, I’m going to be in my cousin’s wedding next Saturday, Nov. 10th, and my bridesmaid dress is Persimmon AKA orange – LOL. I’m looking for some beauty advice on color palettes that you think would go well with this color of dress. Here’s a picture of the dress and my dyed-to-match shoes! Note that the color of the dress is more orange than red like it looks in this photo.

Look forward to your advice!!


PS – Go Giants!

Happy Halloween!


There’s me on the far right dressed up as a roaring 20s flapper – or Catherine Zeta Jones if you’re referencing Chicago. And the rest of the gang are my co-workers!!

Here’s one of me and a hot stewardess, Susan! :)


Happy Halloween, everyone! Go Trick or Treating and have a safe day!

Found: MAC Temptations LE Lipglass Set

I don’t know anyone that doesn’t love digging through old stuff just to find something you didn’t even remember existed!

I was going through some old boxes to try and find items to complete my Halloween costume for work this morning and discovered a MAC lipglass set from their Temptations collection – remember those from wayyy back in Holiday 2005? I was so stoked because I love lipglosses and now I have 5 more colors to wear everyday.

Just in case you’ve forgotten like I have, here are the colors in the Cool set (in the order seen below): Fleur de Light, Cultured, Pink Poodle, Dreamy, and Bow Belle. Fleur de Light and Bow Belle are discontinued I think, but White Magic from the McQueen Collection is a comparable duplicate.



Have you found anything in your makeup box lately that you’ve forgotten about and can’t believe you did? I’d love to hear about your finds!

Don’t Get a Turkey Neck!

Just because Thanksgiving is just around the corner doesn’t mean that we all have to turn into turkeys!

I wrote a couple of weeks ago about the importance of taking care of your neck and décolleté before it all goes down-hill (we don’t want everything to start sagging, right ladies?!).

Trying to be extra cautious about my neck and chest area for the past month or so, I have been road-testing a couple of neck creams to find my favorite.

The first product I used was L’Oreal Advanced RevitaLift Night Cream ($11 – $15 US) for my neck. It’s an unscented, thicker cream – and by unscented, we mean that even our boyfriend can’t really identify what it smells like, only that it smells like a cream (LOL). It’s moisturizing but it’s a little too heavy for me and makes me feel like I’ve been sweating in my sleep (not sexy).

I also tried a sample of Bliss Thinny Thin Chin that I got in my Nordstrom beauty gift. This product is definitely more up my alley. It smells really nice, like citrus and grapefruit without being disgustingly sweet because the scent fades after a little while. It absorbs into my skin quickly leaving it soft and moisturized. It’s not sticky or feels layered on (like the L’Oreal did).

I would definitely recommend Thinny Chin Chin even though it’s a little on the expensive side ($48 US). If anyone has a favorite that they use for the neck and décolleté area, I’d love to hear your reviews and recommendations!
