Strike It Color-Rich with Urban Decay’s 24/7 Jackpot!

November 17th, 2010 by Crystal

I don’t go looking for the pot of gold at the end of each rainbow like I used to (Kidding!), but I don’t need to anyways. The rainbow came to me recently and at the end was a stick of gold called El Dorado…

Part of the Urban Decay 24/7 Jackpot ($39 US), a rainbow of pigmented eyeliners, El Dorado is a bright metallic gold at the left end. Get it? One of my favorites since it illuminates tired eyes so well. The creamy, easy to blend texture is flawless!

Urban Decay has always been my favorite brand of vibrant true to life eyeliners and the 24/7 Jackpot set allows you to sample many of their colors for a steal. Need I preach about their soft, glide-on finish and smear-proof abilities?

My zodiac sign is Cancer, and as a Cancer, I love the water but I try not to take long showers in order to play nice with Mother Nature. Instead I surround my stall with a myriad of sweetly scented potions to use that make every second in the shower count.

Potent, yummy fragrances are the best way to end or start a day but I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve been tempted more than once to have a taste! The latest thing to excite my taste buds? The Organix Instant Repair Cocoa Butter Shampoo and Conditioner ($5.99 US).

Winter-Proof Your Skin with SK-II Skin Signature Cream

November 12th, 2010 by Jeannie

I know it’s only autumn but it might as well be winter to a Southern California girl like me. The temperature in New York has been hovering in the 40s and 50s but my face is already cracking under the barometric pressure. Like your wardrobe, your skincare regime should change with the season too.

As the temperature continues to drop, play defense by integrating a more hydrating moisturizer like SK-II Skin Signature Cream ($205 US) into your routine.
