DIY: Rose Ice Cubes

So I’ve always had this weird thing with ice cubes. I’ve made them out of orange juice, put grapes in them, I even have heart shaped trays. When I saw this article on CasaSugar, I felt impelled to try something even cooler. How pretty would this be for a wedding or BBQ this summer?!

Degree Launches Women Fine Fragrance Collection with Lindsay Price!

According to the Degree Women survey, it’s the small indulgences that are non-negotiable in hard economic times. To help women find ways to have it all the new Degree Women Fine Fragrance Collection partnered last night at Dylan’s Candy Bar with actress Lindsay Price, star of NBC’s acclaimed “Lipstick Jungle.” Lindsay is passionate about showing women how to be smart shoppers and spenders and provides tips about how to look good without breaking the bank.

“I’ve learned that knowing when to save and when to splurge is key o savoring everyday luxuries,” says Price. “It’s important to realize how to adjust – not abandon – indulgences, by looking for smarter ways to spend and treat ourselves.”

Degree enlisted the help of Ann Gottlieb, one of the most prestigious “noses” in the industry, to create the line of body mists and matching antiperspirant deodorants. Here’s the fragrance run-down:

  • Delicious Bliss
    • A light and energetic fragrance with a flirtatious hint of fruitiness
    • Top and middle notes include floral and fruity notes such as magnolia, jasmine, hyacinth, muguet, apple, peach and raspberry
  • Sexy Intrigue
    • A warm and seductive fragrance that is sure to stimulate the senses
    • Top and middle notes include fruits and florals such as jasmine, rose, blackberry, strawberry and pink grapefruit
  • Classic Romance
    • A sophisticated and classic fragrance with floral notes
    • Top notes include floral and citrus scents including peony, muguet, bergamot and orange

The Degree Women Fine Fragrance Collections are available nationally at mass market retail stores with a suggested retail price of $3.99 each or visit DegreeWomen.com for more information.

KELL on Earth!

So the rumors are true…Kelly Cutrone will have her own reality show on Bravo called “Kell on Earth.” Besides the cool name, I’m super excited to watch this show! I looooooove Kelly Cutrone. She’s honest and that is SO refreshing. Can. Not. Wait.

ShoeDazzle.com

So there’s something I really like about Kim Kardashian and when I heard about her new Web site, ShoeDazzle.com, I had to check it out. And, surprisingly, the site is actually pretty cool. You pay $39 a month and after taking a quick personality quiz, you get 5 shoe selections to choose from. Shipping is free and you can return any shoes that you don’t like! Also, if you don’t like any of the 5 shoes that month, your credit card doesn’t get charged so really there’s no obligation to buy. Sounds like a sweet deal to me.

Snog Balm

So I have a not-so-secret love for all things English. This includes slang, men, and of course, beauty products.

Snog [verb]: A colloquial British expression referring to kissing, cuddling, and/or caressing.

Snog Balm puts a fresh new spin on a staple beauty product. Small enough to stow anywhere, Snog Balm (available in Cheeky Mint, Naked and Virgin Cherry) is half the size of a typical lip balm, making you kissable at any moment. Its advanced ingredients penetrate into dry lips instead of sitting on the surface, leaving you with truly moisturized lips that can snog for hours. As the moisturizing formula sinks deep into your lips, Snog Balm remains on your pout—not on your partner’s. Even cooler, The backside of each Snog Balm packaging features unique stories that capture first, favorite, outrageous, or witty snog moments submitted by Snog Balm customers. Each story unites Snog Balm users with a common interest: snogging.
