I’m loving all the Olympics coverage going on this week so while looking through my makeup stash for new goodies to play with, I came across CoverGirl’s new Eye Enhancers eye shadows in Golden Sunset and got inspired by all the pretty gold medals that have been handed out this week.

Golden Sunset eye shadow trio has three pretty shades of golden copper and bronze. I love that these are pretty pigmented and silkier than what you’d imagine from a mass beauty brand - a nice step up from the CoverGirl I remember using in high school!

For super quick gold look today, I’m wearing the darkest shade at the lash line and fan out the color using the middle gold shade in the crease. Highlight with the lightest color and I’m just about ready to head out the door.

I certainly miss the days of Meet the Barkers on MTV when we got to see Travis and Shanna absolutely in love with each other for all the world to see.

Now, the news I hear about them are few and far between however I just read an article on PageSix.com last week where ex-Mrs. Barker got into a cat fight with Kim Kardashian over Kim’s alleged involvement with Travis while the couple were married. While the article was a juicy tidbit of celebrity gossip, all I could think about afterwards was Shanna’s makeup in the article photo! Check out the subtle pop of teal on her lower lashline. It’s sassy and the look is super easy to do.

Try CoverGirl’s new Eye Enhancers 1-Kit Eyeshadow in Turquoise Tempest using a small rounded smudge brush. Dampen your brush by spritzing a little water to the bristles before picking up the color with it. This will help to intensify the shade even more and allow you to line the color precisely to the lashline.

Hope you all had a great weekend - mine certainly was fun-filled and now I’m exhausted. Hopefully I get a good night’s rest so that I can take on Monday with full force!

Imagine, it’s finally date night and you’re getting ready to meet your babe for some good eats in the city. Because your boss is a jerk, she made you stay late to finish up a presentation at the last minute causing you to miss your mani pedi appointment and now you barely have time to run home and throw on that cute new outfit you bought last week.

On top of that, you forget to floss, your Orbit gum is in your day purse, and the Yellow Cab is about to drop you off in less than two blocks at your favorite restaurant - crap. Now what are you going to do?

I’ll tell you what I would do. Before I get into the restaurant and lean in to get my hello kiss, I’d put a coat of my new CoverGirl Wetslicks AmazeMint lip gloss on. It’s got Crest Peppermint Oil in the formula that helps to make me feel a little fresher on the surface without a breath mint or gum. And after I plop that first kiss on the Boyfriend’s lips, no one’s the wiser.

CoverGirl Wetslicks AmazeMint lip gloss ($4.99 US) comes in 13 high-shine, sheer shades, 3 of which have blue undertones to help make teeth look whiter too. (more…)
