Tarina Tarantino Sparklicity Shimmer Dust

So I recently attended the LA launch party for Tarina Tarantino Beauty.  One of the great things about LA is that, like New York, there is always a party so when I got the invite and saw one, that it was a beauty launch, and two, it was for Tarina Tarantino, I was instantly excited.  The party was awesome- it was in a huge space in Hollywood and I spotted the likes of Meredith from The Office and Chet Cannon from The Real World Brooklyn– who I found surprisingly attractive.  Anywho, my favorite item of the night?  Sparklicity Shimmer Dust.  Unlike traditional shimmers, this mist-on version contains no binders, so all you get is a subtle dusting of pure glitter from head-to-toe.  Love it.

Degree Women Natureffects Collection – TOUCH

So I got my second amazing delivery from Degree today – a beautiful bouquet that added a nice “touch” to my desk and definitely helped to release my “Outdoorphins” and stimulate my sense of sight.  After receiving these flowers, I have to admit that I actually really like having flowers around me and, funny enough, 88% of all women surveyed by Degree agree that bringing nature into their homes lowers stress and makes them happier.  Hmmm…what have I been missing?  More than half of the women surveyed also keep plants at home to stay connected to nature.  I’m on my way to the garden store right now, people.

St. Patrick’s Day Gift Guide

So St. Patrick’s Day is totally the forgotten holiday when it comes to presents and being raised in a predominantly Irish and Italian area of New York, St. Patrick’s Day was always a HUGE deal and a big celebration in school as well.  Since this is my first St. Patty’s in LA, and there aren’t many Irish people out here, I decided to call a little extra attention to the biggest drinking day of the year.  And, as my freckled counterpart, Ashley Brady, says “on behalf of Ireland, we thank you.”

Sue Devitt Hydrating Marine Minerals Eye Palette in “Green Isles”

This beautiful Destination Eye Palette just screams the rolling green hills of Ireland to me.  The colors, though green, are universally flattering and blendable.  I’m kind of in love with this palette.

Michelle Roy is known for her trendy and fun designs and I’m really into both of these pieces.

Wood and coral stretch bracelets with charm, SRP $58

Chain with clover, SRP $72


Erin Condren is one of those brands that people instantly fall in love with and if you’re super Irish, you NEED some St. Patty’s Day paper goods like these gift labels, flat note cards, folded greeting cards, etc.  Best of all- the entire St. Patrick’s Day collection is 20% off!!!

Would you get Vajazzled?

So my friend Bryce’s vagina has been blowing up the internet and I had to share.  As an early start to Spa Week, Bryce headed over to Completely Bare in SoHo to try out their newest service – Vajazzling.  Yes, I said VAJAZZLING.  What is it exactly?  The bedazzling of the area which gets waxed when getting a bikini wax by adding crstals and beads to your nether regions.  According to the Completely Bare Web site, “Accessorizing your private parts is the hottest rage” and though I don’t think I’d ever get it done, I admire anyone who has the gusto to do it.  What do you think?  Are you going to vajazzle?

JWoww gifts Too Faced Tanning Bed in a Tube

So I’m absolutely obsessed with MTV’s Jersey Shore and I just got word that Jenni “JWoww” Farley gifted Too Faced’s Tanning Bed in a Tube to all her friends that attended her birthday party this past weekend at Moon nightclub in Las Vegas.  Now, with the wonder lotion that adds an instant bronze glow with a gradual sunless tanner, JWoww’s friends can get their GTL on with out the scary side effects that tanning beds cause.  Happy birthday, JWoww.

Living Proof NoFrizz Restyling Spray

So Living Proof, one of my most favorite brands, has come out with yet another life-changing product –NoFrizz Restyling Spray.  This quick-drying, non-oil, non-silicone based formula provides just the right amount of moisture to make your hair soft, shiny and manageable for those in between shampoo moments.  I know I have a lot of those moments, personally.  What I love about this product is that it allows you to actually re-style your hair while also freshening things up a bit. Another A+ for Living Proof.
