Bad Idea (Jeans)

I can't imagine anything worse than Eat Pray Love the book...now I know.

Things I am Curious About

Even though Valentine's Day is over, there are some Valentine and other products out there that caught my eye.





Philosophy's Cinnamon Hot Dots. This is a part of Philosophy's line of 3 in 1 shower gel/shampoo/conditioner. I think the fragrances are usually dead on so I imagine this one is excellent.










Korres Kumquat Shower Gel. I love the rest of their product line and this looks fresh and light for spring. The website says it has a hint of mandarin. Score.







Korres Spearmint Body Milk. I think this would be a good addition to summer lotions. Korres' body milks are really light and not to heavy on fragrance. I wonder if it's like the C.O. Bigelow line and has a cooling mint sensation??

















Too Faced Girls Dig Pearls Lip Gloss. Right now I'm using Alba Passion Fruit Nectar Clear Lip Gloss. I want to like it more, but so far it's just fair. Too Faced looks interesting even though the packaging looks a little like someone blingee'd it. The colors also are a nice palette for spring.








Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask. Like I need any perfecting! But seriously - the Fresh line is always interesting. Sometimes I think it veers a little to mom-like for my taste. Also this is $85.00, so this mask will probably always just remain something to be curious about. It sounds interesting and probably smells great.

Fresh SuperNOva Mascara

Alright, let's spice things up a little. Most of the posts on this blog have been product accolades, inquiries, and/or exciting discoveries from the drug store aisles. Which is fantastic, but I think it's also important to warn our fellow product devotees (ok, Lindsey and Susan) about products that should be AVOIDED (all CAPS, I really mean it) at all cost. Hence, I would like to take this opportunity to warn you about Fresh Supernova Mascara.

Now, I know you're probably thinking that Fresh puts out some great products, and why should this be any different?Well. It is. It's horrible. I bought this last holiday season because it caught my eye on a Christmas display at Sephora. My initial thoughts were that it had pretty packaging and it seemed very seasonal so it must be good. Although I usually stick with Diorshow mascara, I figured, let's try something new. 'Tis the season.

After first use, it was almost impossible to apply. The mascara gets all thick in that brush to the point where it doesn't even have a recognizable shape anymore. Then, it delivers way too much product with just one swipe. I read an article once about Julia Roberts using a safety pin to separate her lashes and I thought that was really dumb/dangerous, but I found myself actually trying it! Ultimately I decided that a lash brush was safer, so I used that for the next 3 weeks until I couldn't take it anymore. I tossed it and went back to my Diorshow mascara. All in all, Fresh has many great things to offer. This one just doesn't quite make the cut.
