Purple Lab on HSN!

I was lucky enough to be asked to participate in Purple Lab’s “Girls Night In” in honor of Purple Lab’s debut on HSN!  BIG news- HUGE for the amazing brand and I was thrilled to be involved.  After receiving my “party in a box,” I was super excited to have my friend’s over for the 11pm show this past Friday and then, after trying out the products, I was even more excited for Karen and her fabulous brand.  If you’re not familiar, Karen is a well-known New York writer and an all around inspiring person.  You can read the full story on Purple Lab here but in the mean time, you NEED to start shopping.  My favorite?  Well besides the original product, Huge Lips Skinny Hips, my new favorite is Cheek Implants.  I’m not really a regular blush girl since my face is usually just a little bit rosey naturally BUT this blush ROCKS.  It’s inspired by runway looks and glides across the skin while plumping, lifting and enhancing cheek bones.  Sign me up.

YSL ROUGE VOLUPTÉ Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick SPF 15

So I’ve never really been a lipstick girl but when I saw a photo of YSL’s ROUGE VOLUPTE Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick SPF 15, I nearly died.  Not only does the lipstick go on smooth, but it also doesn’t dry out your lips (like most lipstick does to me) AND the tube is probably the most glamourous thing in the whole wide world.  I was instantly reminded of the post I wrote awhile back on glam makeup compacts.  ROUGE VOLUPTE just seems like a lipstick my grandmother would use, and that’s not a bad thing.  It’s old-school and reminiscent of a time when people took a lot of pride in being classy.  As an added bonus, the lipstick also has SPF 15 so your lips are not only colored and gorgeous, but also protected from the sun’s harmful rays.  UGH, and there’s also a little mirror on top of the golden metallic case that’s kind of making me melt.  I can’t express my love in words right now for this lipstick.

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.
