Body Oils: Cure for Dry Winter Skin

As we turn the corner on Winter, many of us are engaged in a full-on war on dry skin. My chronic dry skin problem is only exacerbated by my love of taking really hot showers and baths when I feel like I can't get warm. When intensive hydration is needed, I've had the best success using body oil. 
 Body oil is exactly what it sounds like and used like a lotion or cream. It absorbs best if the

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss! Amazing. Love. Beauty.


I've tried $30 lip glosses and I've tried $6 lip glosses... this gem of a gloss that's only $6 (and change) takes the cake! I'm seriously so impressed with the Revlon Super Lustrous lip glosses! If you blind folded me and put this on my lips there is no way I'd think it was only $6. The quality is amazing. It's such a smooth, non sticky gloss and beautiful. Revlon needs a standing ovation for these glosses (or one of them at least...read on).  I got the colors Nude Lustre, Pink Afterglow, and Pink Pursuit. I really love these colors! They aren't extremely pigmented but the color they do give is really, really nice. They each have a touch of shimmer in them... some more than others. My favorite is Nude Lustre... it's a very pretty warm peachy pink color and it has almost an unnoticeable amount of sparkle but just enough to make me happy. Next one I bought is Pink Afterglow. This color is the brightest out of the trio that I own and by far packed with the most glitter... like you can feel the glitter bits on your lips. I'm not a huge fan of that feeling. The color payoff with Pink Afterglow is kinda disappointing. It looks very pink in the tube but on the lips it's quite sheer and full of glitter
The last one I'm going to tell you about is Pink Pursuit. This color is a light mauvey baby pink. This one also has more glitter than I like but not as much as Pink Afterglow. This one also is quite sheer but the color is nice. 
The only one that I know I will buy again is Nude Lustre. This gloss is such HIGH quality... it's better than most $30 glosses that I have tried. 

I think they did an amazing job on the packaging... it doesn't look like a cheap drug store lipgloss (minus the gold on Revlon... I don't like "gold" on packaging). These have SPF 15 and are only $6 (and change) at your local drugstore or wherever Revlon is sold.

These look a little darker than the actual color but you get the picture. :)

NARS Orgasm Illuminator


As you all know I've been on a highlighter kick and I had heard NARS was coming out with an illuminator in the color Orgasm. I rushed to the Sephora website with great excitment. This one looked perfect and it looked liked it might just might be my perfect highlighter. Boy, was I wrong. This is NOT the highlighter I've been searching for all my life... not even close. It's smaller than I thought it was going to be (1.1oz) and for $29 you would think you would get something a little bit bigger but it is NARS so you are kinda paying for the name as well. My gripe with this is... it's SO sheer that I wouldn't even call it an illuminator. Yes, it does have faint pink/gold shimmer but once rubbed in you can hardly tell. I was SO disappointed. I thought about taking it back but then I found another use for it but that use would NOT be as a highlighter. When rubbed into the skin it leaves a very light rose tint and I think it looks pretty to put over your blush as a little extra umph of color. It's more of a light liquid blush IMO than an illuminator. It does leave a slight sheen to the skin and does give kinda a dewly look but that's about it. I think I will keep it as something to put over my blush to add some color but over all.... I'm sadly disappointed in it. I acutally think this product is more of a rose color than the actual blush... I think this color is more like the NARS Deep Throat than the Orgasm.
Have you tried this? What were your thoughts? Where you suprised at how sheer it was, too??



Rubbed in... with the FLASH it does look like it has a lot of shine but it doesn't look like that in real life

How to Portray a Scene Style that is Cool

How to Portray a Scene Style that is Cool
The cool thing about scene kids is how they portray a scene style that makes them look smart and modern.  If you want to be a real scene kid that attracts people instead of annoying them, you must dress up appropriately.
You can wear tight skinny jeans that expose your slim legs but make them loose at the back.  See to it that they remain to be tight, but just in case they get loose, use a dryer so that you can get back their elasticity then, shrink them a little.

Your jeans should not be flares or bootcuts, but straight-leg pencil jeans.  Hook up a carabiner, then, clip it on your keys and put on the side of your skinny jeans.  Choose the tightest fitting t-shirt but don’t wear crew necks always as they look awkward, or you can wear band shirts and graphic shirts.

Be sure that the band you are displaying is the latest.  You can wear vintage band shirts with birds, animal prints and skulls which are the latest scene designs.  Avoid using Pokemon and foil print because they are already outmoded.

Scene kids normally wear loads of eyeliner and converse chucks or vans.  A lot of scene kids wear bandanas around their necks or cover their face.

Scene girls wear shoes that are bright such as vans, ballet flats, Converse, or high heels which are eye-catching.  To make your shoes look great, you can add things like neon shoelaces with signatures of your friends on your shoes but make sure they look personalized.
