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.
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.
So you probably read my last two posts about Degree’s new Natureffects line of Deodorants and Body Mists, right? Well it turns out that I was selected as the WINNER for their beauty blogger contest supporting the launch and I won a free trip for me a friend to New York City to attend a Mary J. Blige concert in Times Square!!! Seriously, I’m still in shock. I haven’t been home since Christmas and I was definitely itching to get back and enjoy all that Manhattan has to offer. I’m so greatful to Degree for this amazing opportunity- make sure you’re following me on Twitter because I’ll be in New York Saturday, March 20th until Monday, March 22nd and I’ll be tweeting and blogging about my experiences during the trip.
So when I heard about this great new promotion from John Frieda, I had to share. As a card-carrying blonde for the past 9 years, I’ll be the first to say blonde is better and blondes really do have more fun! (Ok, that might be a bit of an exaggeration but I do enjoy my sunny tresses.) Anyway, check out ForBlondesOnly.com to sign up and see if the tour is coming to a city near you. If you live in the New York City area, Natasha Bedingfield will be performing at the Highline Ballroom on March 18th! The elite event lets all girls experience the benefits of being blonde with the royal treatment- hair station makeovers, amazing food and of course, cocktails- all to the music of Natasha.
