Put Away the Breath Mints..

Because at the Gilroy Garlic Festival, you don’t need ‘em!

I just got back from a very hot and very dusty couple of hours at the Garlic Festival where you can grub on just about anything you could ask for – with lots of garlic added. This event happens once a year during the last weekend of July. The Boyfriend and I went last year and this time we decided to invite a couple of friends along for the food ride, too.

Here, you can always find a smorgasbord of delicious, albeit not-that-good-for-you food. Today we opted for Garlic Steak Tacos and Crab and Garlic Fries, because you always need to eat the garlic fries when you come to this festival. Don’t these look like they’d give you a heart attack though? Eeep!

tarte Friends & Family – Don’t Miss It!

I’m sitting here watching America’s Best Dance Crew right now and it kinda blows that Supreme Soul and Super Cr3w are in the bottom end of the votes. I won’t give away who went home but you can imagine that it’s not good.

But, it makes me feel better to know that tarte is having a Friends & Family Event going on right now that’s so good, it’ll cure me of any sadness I feel and give me a good dose of retail therapy to keep my spirits up.

Right now through Sunday, July 27th, order any tarte product your sweet little heart desires and get 40% off your purchase. Don’t know what to get? Might we suggest The Eraser ($19 US), this baby will brighten up tired eyes, conceal your blemishes and brighten up your face in a matter of seconds with this uber-versatile pen!

Or, pick up tarte’s famed Cheek Stain ($28 US). It comes in 8 colors and it might be good for you to get all the shades so that you never have to wonder what your perfect blush shade is! My personal pick is Flush for a universal color that’s sure to complement most skin tones.

Both of these products are currently nominated for Glam.com’s 2008 Beauty Awards so you’d better act fast before it’s all gone. And if you’re like me and need even more tarte goodies, don’t miss out the Limited Edition ready-to-wear / prêt-à-porter ($44 US) set. Palettes are great because it’s all you need to pack when you’re heading out of town for the weekend or jetting off on an overnight business trip – because no one wants to pay $15 to check a bag in right??

If want these, or anything else from tarte, start shopping online right now through July 27th and enter in promo code FF08 when you check out. Don’t forget that it’s good for 40% off your total order – so what are you waiting for?!

L’Oreal Hair-Coloring Fiesta!

feria-promo.jpg

Happy Hump Day!

I have a very exciting event to share with you, my lovely Bay Area readers – I’m hosting an at-home hair coloring event with a new line up of L’Oreal Feria products and I want you to join in on the fun! I’ve invited some of my friends to get gussied up and I thought, hey, why not invite a loyal Daily Cookie reader to get herself made over by me too!

L’Oreal Feria is introducing a new formula of their popular multi-faceted hair color with lower levels of ammonia – which means less stinky beauties! The new product also comes with a savvy pro-touch applicator to allow for a faster and more precise application.

If you’d like to be one of the lucky ladies to join me and my friends at a hair-coloring party in San Francisco please email me at thedailycookie [at] yahoo [dot] com by 5pm PST Thursday, July 24th. I’m hosting this event with drinks, h’orderves, and of course a goodie bag from L’Oreal! I’ll pick one lucky reader at random and will email you with all the details of where, when, and what color! Well, you actually get to choose your color; we won’t make you lovely brunettes go blond if you don’t want to ;)

Looking forward to hearing from you and hope you’re having a great Wednesday evening – remember to watch Project Runway and Shear Genius tonight; I certainly am!

xoxo, Lilan

MAC Electro Flash “Odd Couple” FOTD

electro-flash-odd-couple-eyes.jpg

This morning I woke up feeling a little spunky and rejuvenated after a really (really) blah Monday and Tuesday so I decided to actually put some color on my face today.

I dug around my newly organized makeup stash (it probably won’t stay this way for long) to see if I could find something to spice up my life on this Hump Day! It didn’t take me long before I gravitated towards that purple pot of eyeshadow – it drew me in immediately.

MAC’s new collection, Electro Flash, gives us mineralized eye shadow duos that definitely helped to pick up my mood when I spied Odd Couple, a pot containing a bold purple half paired with a side of light bronze with purple veining. They say the shadows are extremely pigmented but I thought they had just the right amount of color.
