Benefit Hervana

Benefit Hervana Blush

January 6, 2012 0 comments

I’m loving Benefit’s newest boxed blush, Hervana ($28).  This blush consists of four shades; lucky shell, divine peach, heavenly rose and berry delight.  Once swirled together those shades produce a soft pink color. If you’re a fan of bolder blush, this may not be for you.  It doesn’t give off a load of color which I like.  For my fair skin color, I like just a kiss of color.  Plus it has only a bit [...]

It may only be the beginning of January but cosmetics companies are already releasing products for Spring 2012.  One such item is L’Oreal 24hr Infallible eye shadow ($7.95).  The shades are definitely bold and highly pigmented. I bought: Iced Latte #888 Amber Rush #892 Golden Sage #333 A lot of people where under the impression that these were cream eye shadow but they are not.  However, they aren’t exactly powder either.  I consider them a [...]

Mint Oreo Truffle Pops

If you like Cool Mint Oreos and chocolate, you’ll love these!  Basically they are Oreo crumbs mixed with a bit of cream cheese and dipped in white chocolate.  And they are yummy! The centers end up moist, minty and fudge like.  And the white chocolate on the outside is nice and creamy without being too sweet or sugary.  So much fun to eat, just pop them in your mouth and go.

Wet n Wild has some really colorful glitter nail polish out now.  It’s a little hard to find but I finally came across it at a local CVS.  I bought the color Carats which is gold and bronze bar glitter in a clear base. To get a nice opaque color without globbing on multiple layers of glitter, I started with a colored base.  I first started with two coats of In Awe of Amber by [...]

Covergirl Lineblast 24 Hour Felt Tip Eyeliner

January 2, 2012 3 comments

Covergirl Lineblast ($7.99) is my new favorite eyeliner!  This felt tip eyeliner only comes in two colors, one black and one brown shade.  I purchased it in #805 eternal brown.  It’s a very dark brown, almost black color. Lineblast is Covergirl’s new 24 hour formula.  I don’t know who would need or want eyeliner on for 24 hours but that’s what it’s supposed to do.  I have fairly oily skin and even waterproof eyeliners run [...]

Pumpkin and Vanilla Layered Cheesecake

January 1, 2012 0 comments

The holidays just aren’t the same without stuffing yourself with decadent desserts.  This pumpkin layered cheesecake is thick, rich and creamy.  I was nicely surprised to see just how thick a cheesecake this recipe made.  It came to just below the top rim of my springform pan. With the pumpkin cheesecake layer between two layers of regular vanilla cheesecake, you get a nice hint of pumpkin spice without it feeling too much like a fall [...]
