It’s Summer, But I’ve Still Got Spring Fever

June 24th, 2008 by Lilan

Summer has officially arrived but I’ve still got spring fever – Tarte Spring Fever, that is.

Tarte Spring Fever Set ($40 US) is complete with a mini Cheek Stain in Blushing Bride, a lovely sheer plum; a mini Spring Fever SPF 15 Lip Sheer, a charcoal gray Waterlilies Eyeliner, North Island Eyeshadow set featuring a pinky beige and taupe duo; and a Brush With Greatness double-ended eyeshadow brush.

This set has just about everything I could ask for in a makeup set to make my day to day life easier. I can whip up an easy work-look in just fifteen minutes and everything miniature in size making it an obvious choice my makeup bag.

I personally have never tried Tarte cheek stains but have heard so much about them. That item alone makes this Spring Fever set a lemming for me. Why pay $28 for just one cheek stain when I can pay a little extra and get more goodies to play with?! The choice is simple. Now, where did I put my Sephora gift card…?

Get Tarte’s Spring Fever set now, exclusively at Sephora and only for a limited time!

A Day of Pandas and Chanel Glossimers

June 23rd, 2008 by Lilan

We finally got a chance to see Kung Fu Panda today and let me tell you, it was well worth it! Some might argue it’s because the movie was kick ass to begin with, but I think watching it on IMAX gave it that extra awesome-ness factor.

For those of you who’ve never seen an IMAX movie (don’t worry if you’re a newbie, I only just popped my IMAX cherry for cute and overeating little panda bears today!), the theater technology allows for an immersive entertainment experience with a huge screen with dual digital projectors and surround sound. Everything is so much bigger, brighter and sharper, it really made me feel like I was right there with Po and the Five Fighting Warriors. (more…)

Nordstrom Beauty Trend Show, Part 3: All About The Tan!!

June 22nd, 2008 by Lilan

Welcome to Part 3 of my Beauty Trend Show coverage. So far, I gave you the low down on the top summer beauty trends and showed you my makeover from Lancôme national artist, Jason, where he shared his favorite beauty tips with us.

Now it’s time for me to tell you about the one take away I got from this season’s show – safe, self-tanning is what’s HOT, baby!

Almost every brand that presented during the show mentioned a new bronzing product that promised a golden glow without the harm of UV rays. Fusion Beauty even brought out a shirtless Abercrombie & Fitch-esque male model to demonstrate their GlowFusion Micro-Nutrient Face & Body Natural Protein Tan ($58 US). Boy did he get those ladies riled up at 9am!

If you want to try getting a nice, golden tan without the harmful sun and even worse for you tanning beds, here are some easy steps from Nordstrom Beauty Director Joelle Russo to prep your body for an easy at-home tan that’s gorgeous and not to mention safe for you! (more…)

Get the Look: Julianne Moore’s Glowing Cheeks

June 21st, 2008 by Lilan

It’s been pretty hot in San Francisco this past week and when it’s so warm outside, I hate it when my makeup looks like it’s melting off my face. So if you’re like me, you’ll want to keep it as minimal as possible while still looking fresh and completely radiant.

Keep your makeup light and beautiful by playing down your eyes and lips with neutral colors and really turning up the volume on your cheeks for that ultimate sun-kissed look.

Try a cream blush like Redpoint Airbrush Effects Blushwhip in Glow ($28 US) for a more vibrant color that’ll give you a pretty, dewy complexion. (more…)
