Stila Black Diamond Mascara

So I review mascaras a lot and sometimes I feel that every time I try a new mascara, I think it’s even better than the last.  This certainly proves true again with Stila’s Black Diamond Mascara.  I was intrigued when I read about the product and how it’s infused with genuine black diamond powder.  I mean, what girl wouldn’t like that?  What does the black diamond powder do?  It lenghtens and adheres to lashes and results in unusually soft, plush lashes.  Plus, it’s paraben-free.  Amazing.

Kim Kardashian perfume

So I admit that I love Keeping Up With the Kardashians and I don’t care who knows it. How can you not love watching the crazy antics plus, what’s not to love about Bruce Jenner? Anyway, when I received a sample of Kim’s new perfume, creatively named Kim Kardashian, I decided that I must try it. The verdict? I really like it. And, I’m a tough sell when it comes to scents.  That Kim is one busy lady these days…she also just launched Kardashians for bebe at New York Fashion Week!  You have to have respect for anyone that works so hard!

L.A.M.B Fall 2010 RTW

Ah, another fashion week.  This is officially the second Fashion Week that I’m missing since I moved to LA and yeah, I’m kinda sad about it.  However, thanks to the wonderful internet, I can still see all the awesomeness that is L.A.M.B’s Fall 2010 ready-to-wear collection.  Gwen has outdone herself once again.  Here are my favorites:

Too Faced Walk of Shame Kit

So we’ve all been there.  And doesn’t it suck when you wake up and realize “ugh, I have morning breath and my eyeliner is literally smeared all over my face.”  Awesome.  When I came across Too Faced Walk of Shame Kit, first I laughed, then I pictured myself walking down 3rd Avenue in 5 inch heels at 8AM, THEN I decided that I must try out this kit.  What do you get?  A super cute black bag, first of all, along with Primed & Poreless, Shadow Insurance, a bronzer and eyeshadow palette, a mini toothbrush and OralFixation Gourmet Mints!  Love this.

The anti-Valentine’s Day gift guide

So yeah…I don’t have a Valentine this year.  I actually think I may have jinxed myself back in the 11th grade when I decided to wear all black on Valentine’s Day, in protest, naturally.  But I digress.  You won’t find some “win your way into his heart” type of Valentine’s Day round up on THIS blog.  In fact, last year I did a “V-day, not VD” mini gift guide that featured sexually named hair gel and a quote from Lady GaGa about carbs and good sex.  Anyway, here’s my 2010 version- a rundown of super cool Valentine’s Day must-haves that you can use with someone or alone.

Bristols6 makes the sexiest Nippies, which, let’s be honest are cute for under clothing or just while wearing nothing else at all.

Booty Parlor Don’t Stop Massage Candle is pure genius, in my book.  It sounds too good to be true but this candle is actually also massage oil.  Yup, that’s right, ladies.  Does your BF have a hot wax fetish?  I hope not…but if he does, this is a good compromise.  The wax is made from a rich blend of shea butter, vitamins A &E, jojoba, olive and coconut oils and clean-burning natural soy wax.

Too Faced Mood Swing Lipgloss is emotionally-activated and high on shine.  Personally, I’m interested to see if a guy would even notice if I HAD lipgloss on but it would be pretty hilarious if, after burping at dinner, your lips suddenly turned hot pink.  Just saying.

Diptyque, one of my most favorite brands, came out with this fabulous candle – Rooibos vanilla, to be exact.  And, a portion of sales from this candle helps to provide medicine to people living with HIV.

I mean, this is probably NOT the most appropriate Valentine’s Day item if you actually do have a Valentine…but if you don’t, this is the only thing you really need (well, except maybe what you’re about to see…keep reading).  LUSH The Ex Factor bath bomb was inspired by a plan to rid the world of the memories of useless men, something every girl can use!

These look so innocent, don’t they?  Body Spa Vibrating Bath Sponges will add a little extra oomph while you’re taking your nice, relaxing bubble bath on the big day.
