new blog alert: BeautySweetSpot.com

So last night I attended a fab launch event for an amazing new beauty blog, BeautySweetSpot.com. The event was held at the Townhouse Spa and I have to say, I was VERY impressed! The event offered delish cherry-themed cocktails, a chocolate fondue fountain and, of course, hot waiters serving up other goodies. Beauty services were offered as well! I got my hair blown out for a “sexy summer beach waves” look and also received a very needed 10 minute back massage…gotta love working in the beauty industry. 😉

Make sure you check out Jeannine’s blog- LOVE her.

Sunsilk Captivating Curls Gel & Cream Twist

So with all this rain, I’ve been trying to style my hair differently than my usual straight hair with straight bangs. Since my hair is naturally wavy, I decided to try out Sunsilk Captivating Curls Gel & Cream Twist. I love the idea of combining gel and cream together because I think a lot of people often don’t know which is best for their specific hair. The verdict? A fab (and super affordable) product that gives you soft, well-defined curls. Perfect for rainy weather! The gel provides a strong hold and the cream gives you the soft feel so your hair doesn’t look crunchy. Approved.

Mascara Monday: Kiehl’s Marvelous Mineral Mascara

So Mascara Monday, part V. I know I’ve said it for the past four weeks, but I’m looooving Kiehl’s Marvelous Mineral Mascara. I was recently introduced to Kiehl’s as a line and I’m mildly obsessed…but don’t worry, my new found love for Kiehl’s hasn’t intruded on my mascara review judgment!

This mascara is enriched with mineral pigments for rich color and combines volumizing Acacia Senegal with conditioning Jojoba Oil and Aloe Vera, the unique formula gives lashes natural-looking length, volume and rich, glossy color. I also love that it’s paraban-free…always a good thing. Approved.
