mark Ironclad Ring

So I have to give it up to mark, as in Avon’s mark, because they really do have amazing jewelry at  really affordable prices.  Right now I’m loving the mark Ironclad Ring that you have to admit, looks super chic and expensive but retails for only $14!  And since I’m not one to wear really expensive jewelry, I knew this ring was the perfect statement ring to add to my collection.  Who needs to spend a ton of money on accessories that won’t even be in style 8 months from now?  Not me.  mark has had quite a few pieces that I’ve really enjoyed over the past few years- way to go, mark.

Bachelorette party gift ideas

So every year more and more of my friends are getting engaged and I’ll admit- I loathe this.  But what can you do?  If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em, right?  Might as well have a little fun with the situation.  Here are my top three party favor ideas…and no, none of them have anything to do with a plastic penis.

FingerVibe – It’s teeny tiny and super quiet…the ultimate party favor for any bachelorette.

Booty Parlor Kissaholic Kissing Kit -An aphrodisiac plumping lip gloss and breathe mist, this duo (which comes in a naughty box shaped like a box of cigs) is really all you need for a night out.

Boobie Tassels -Admittedly, I really only think these are funny because the packaging actually says “Boobie Tassels.”

Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang

So as you may or may not know, I’m a huuuuuge Chelsea Handler fan.  I die for her blog, her TV show, her Tweets and for both of her books…and now I’m reading her latest- Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang.  It doesn’t dissapoint.  In this particular book, I love how she calls out the fact that she hates writing and even tells ridiculous stories about her now-ex, Ted, who just so happens to be the CEO of the E! network.  I’m not quite done yet but my favorite tale so far is definitely when she goes over how Ted went to Hawaii and she decided to stay home to “get some writing done.”  She ends up spending several days in her condo, wearing only a bra and panties, stuffing her face with Hot Pockets while watching the Sex and the City movie.  You can’t make this stuff up, people.  It’s just Chelsea.

Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief

So as someone with dry skin, I’m always looking for an amazing moisturizer.  I recently tried out Clinique’s Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief Moisturizer after hearing several beauty editors rave about it and I’m absolutely in love. This light, cooling gel plumps skin with hydration for a full 24 hours.  I can see this moisturizer being really addictive since it instantly cools the skin and is also great for a midday boost, tapped on over makeup.  Basically if you’re looking for a great, unique moisturizer, you should definitely try this product.

Maybelline Great Lash BIG

So I’m always honest when people ask me about mascara and I’m even more honest when I tell them how I feel about the cult-favorite, Maybelline Great Lash- a product that has been around forever, won multiple beauty awards and used by many makeup artists…I think it sucks.  I tried it once back in college and I was left with spidery eyelashes that flaked off after only a few hours.  NO.  However, since I do love Maybelline as a brand, I decided to give their new Great Lash BIG version of the mascara a whirl and I absolutely LOVE it.  This is the stuff mascara should be made of, people.  And, I’m especially glad that Maybelline decided to keep BOTH versions because the original was, and still is, quite popular.  Great Lash BIG left my eyelashes thicker and bolder with no globs or flaking.  Love it.
