Dole's Frozen Banana's

Good Morning Beauties,

I wanted to share some non-beauty news with you guys.   The last few months I have gained about 10 lbs so now I'm trying to lose some weight.  I'm not doing any special diet, just eating less and exercising more.  Last week I discovered these banana dippers in the freezer section of my grocery store.  These are delicious!!!  Its bananas covered in dark chocolate.  You get 4 bananas in each pouch.  They have about 120 calories and if you follow weight watchers its about 1 point.  A great way to satisfy a chocolate/sweet craving.

They also have frozen strawberries but I haven't found them yet.  I can't wait to try them.

Let me know if you guys have tried them or if you have any good tips for me.

Have a great day!

Hard Candy Top Ten Eye Shadow Palette in Naturally Gorgeous

Hi Everyone,

As you guys know, I have been on the hunt for the new Rimmel eye shadow.  This past weekend I went to a different Walmart in hopes of finding it.  No luck for the Rimmel, but I did see a palette from Hard Candy that looked gorgeous.  I figure for $6.00 why not try it.  I was very disappointed once I got home and open the package.  There was barely any pigmentation in any of the colors.  They were also very chalky.  I still wanted to give it a shot though, so I decided to wear to work that night.  I used a primer first and it still didn't do much to help.   Not only was I not happy the way it looked, but it wore off in about 4 to 5 hours. 

All in all, I wouldn't recommend this palette.  Even though the colors are truly beautiful.  There are so many more drugstore eye shadows that work so much better.  A great example is any of the wet and wild palettes. 

In other non related beauty news,

• It has been really warm here in Massachusetts the past couple of days.  By warm, I mean in the 50s but for January I will take it.
• Did you guys watch the Golden Globes?  I usually just watch the red carpet.  My favorite this year was Kate Mara. I loved her gown.  Least favorite was Julia Roberts.  I just expect so much more from her.  She is beautiful A-list celebrity that could choose any designer she wants.

Have a great day!

St IVes Timeless Skin Collagen Elastin Moisturizer

Hi Everyone,

As you guys know, I have very dry skin.  I can't tell you how many different types of moisturize I have tried.  I read quite a few reviews on this St Ives moisturizer and I decided to give it a shot.  For $5.99 I couldn't really go wrong.  I was in for a terrific surprise.  This is hands down one of the best moisturizers I have tried.  My skin felt so smooth after using this.  I usually use it at night before I go to sleep.  You got quite a good size tub for the price. 

I only have two negative things to say about this product.  One is the fact that it doesn't contain any SPF.  This is why I usually use it at night.  However, if you are going to be taking pictures this would work because it doesn't have SPF.  The second thing is I wish it came in a pump so it would be easier and less mess to use.

All in all I recommend this product for anyone who has dry skin. 

Have a great day!

Wish List Wednesday

Good Morning Beauties,

I can't even begin to tell you guys how many different eye shadows I own.  However, a couple of weeks ago, Tati from GlamLifeGuru did a hot or not on the new Rimmel products.  She showed one of the new scandalous eye shadows called chestnut taupe.  This color looked gorgeous.  Needless to say, I have been to almost every CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreen's, Target and Walmart in Massachusetts and New Hampshire looking for this.  I wish I could show you guys a picture but that will have to wait until I find it.  Wish me luck.  Let me know if you have tried it and what you think.

Also, I strongly suggest checking out Tati's youtube channel.  www.youtube/user/GlamLifeGuru.com
She does amazing reviews and tutorials.

Tip of the day

I usually have dry skin and lips but when its winter, they are even drier.  Here is a little tip for chapped lips, make sure whatever you use contains vitamin E.  This will help soften your lips.  Does anyone have any other tips for dry skin?

Have a great day!

7 Deadl Sins of Beauty Tag

Good Morning,

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  I found this tag awhile ago and I figured I would give it a shot.

1. Greed- What is your most expensive beauty item?, This is a tough one, I would probably have to say my Chole perfume.  It was pretty expensive for such a small bottle.

2. Wrath- What product do you have a love/hate relationship with? This one is easy, false eyelashes.  I love the way they look but I hate putting them on.

3. Gluttony- What is your most delicious beauty item? Chanel Perfection Lumiere foundation.  This smells so good.

4. Sloth- What product do you neglect due to laziness? It's not so much a product, but my eyebrows.  I hate to pluck them so I will wait and have them waxed;.

5. Pride- What product gives you the most self confidence? That would have to be foundation.  I hate my freckles so I am always trying to cover them up,

6. Lust- What attributes do you find most attractive in men? It would have to be a sense of humor.

7. Envy- What item would like to receive as a gift?  Any of the Tom Ford quads. I want to try them so bad.

I would love to hear your answers.  Have a fantastic week!

xoxo,
