Andrea's Beau

A few minutes ago I was reading a blog that mentioned a hair accessories brand known as Andrea's Beau. So, I decided to mosey on over to their website & take a look. OMG! If you're looking for absolutely adorable headbands, clips, & etc. for either yourself, a friend, or a little girl you know, you've got to check this place out! They make their hair accessories for both women & girls, & they have a wide variety of cute styles. They can be found in over 500 stores around the world, including Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, and Nordstrom. So, if you're looking for cute hair accessories, mosey on over to Andrea's Beau. - Click!

PoshBrushes.com

Not too long ago, I discovered PoshBrushes.com through a youtube makeup guru. (don't remember who it was) While they do have some expensive brushes, they also have quite a few relatively inexpensive ones as well.

In fact, these 2 brushes to the left (smokey & smudger brushes) are only $10 each. I'm especially interested in the smokey brush, it looks like it would make a good pencil brush.

Have any of you, my readers, tried any brushes from PoshBrushes.com? If so, what did you think?

Spell Cosmetics

I've just recently discovered a cosmetics brand through their YouTube Channel. The brand? Spell Cosmetics. They sell a whole slew of different cosmetics, including mineral eyeshadows that range from pretty everyday neutrals to funky brights! Spell Cosmetics is Paraben Free, Phthalate Free, & Cruelty Free. Check 'em out! - Click!

Coastal Scents Ultra Shimmer 88 Eye Shadow Palette

Now here's a palette I've been lusting after for awhile. The reviews I've read have been glowing, now if I can just get the funds together for it! Have any of you, my readers, tried this? Did you love it/hate it? Tell me!

Rimmel Colour Mousse Eyeshadow

Ooo, these colors look so gorgeous, I want to try them! Has anyone tried these, what did you think? I was watching MakeupGeekTV's Bourjois cream/liquid shadows review & one of her viewers mentioned these Rimmel shadows as being really good, so I'm curious.

Milani Eyeshadows

I've never tried Milani Eyeshadows before, but after reading good reviews I'm really curious to try some of their stuff. I'd love to try both their regular shadow compacts & their Runway Eyes shadow compacts. For some reason the online stores show more color selection than the Milani website, which is odd. I grabbed product screenshots from the Milani website, which is why the colors I want are actually more than the blocks of color displayed in the images. Anyhoo, don't these look pretty?

YSL's Touche Brillance

YSL has come out with Touche Brillance Sparkling Touch for Lips. I have never tried any of their products before, but these richly hued, sparkly glosses look sooo compelling! Has anyone tried these? I especially want to try Truly Red, Amethyst Sparkle, Pink Topaz, Pink Quartz, & Sparkling Nude. These look so pretty!

Jesse's Girl Cosmetics

I'm going to be away several days to help out a friend, but before I go, I wanted to share with you a makeup brand I just stumbled across today. It's called Jesse's Girl Cosmetics & I discovered it thru the ClothingCult blog. I would love to get their shimmering pearls eyedust in several colors. They look so pretty!

Beauty Strokes - Brushes

Has anyone heard of BeautyStrokes brushes before?

I'd like to try the following.

• Blusher Brush
  
• Face Powder Brush
• Bronzer Brush
• Crease Brush (especially)
  

The bristles are made out of natural hair. I'd imagine that they'd be very soft. I'm curious to find what you all think of these.

BodyShop.com - Wishlist

I'd really like to try the following items by the BodyShop.

• lip & cheek stain
• shimmer cubes

Have any of you, my readers tried this? I've yet to try any of their products, but I have a friend who has tried one of their lipglosses (no longer available) & she absolutely loves it.

Pencil Me In Cosmetics

I've discovered another makeup brand because of OnMakeup Magazine & that is Pencil Me In Cosmetics. I haven't tried their pencils yet, but I'm eager to. Their whole purpose is eye pencils & nothing but eye pencils in a huge rainbow of colors for different eye looks. All pencils have their own built in sharpener & are a little over $6 a piece. I so want try this!

Monda Studio

I've discovered a great resource through On Makeup Magazine & that's Monda Studio. They have a whole slew of stuff that any makeup artist/enthusiast would want! Tools, palettes, cases, you name it. There's several things I'd love to get, but, for this post, I've narrowed it down to a few.

• Lash Comb: I've heard these metal types are more effective than a regular lash comb.
• Mixing Spatula: Perfect for mixing my mineral foundation w/my mousturizer, yes?
• 5 well palette: Perfect for mixing in & creating custom colors & etc.

Cool, huh!

MAD Minerals: Loose Mineral Pigments

I've come upon another makeup brand that I'd never heard of before: MAD Minerals Makeup. They have a whole collection of loose mineral pigments in a variety of beautiful shades. Below are just some of the colors I'd love to get. I'd especially like to try Speed & Pizzazz. Aren't they pretty!

Wet-n-Wild's Silk Finish Lipstick

Well, after my last successful wet-n-wild lipstick purchase, there's several other colors I'd love to try. (Note: The one w/the strikethrough is the one I already have.) I'll have to take a look at these in person & see what they look like.

Mouveau Pink looks like it'll be a pretty, slightly warmer, fuschia or hot pink. I'm hoping Cherry Frost is more of a cool red than a warm red. Has anyone tried this color & is it cool or warm? I'm still looking for the perfect red for me.

e.l.f. dark nail colors

This isn't brand new, but I thought I'd share these anyway. I love the look of the new deep colors, I hope they're as pretty in person as they are on the site. Don't they look gorgeous? I want the plum & burgundy especially. They look so pretty!

Avon/Mark Wishlist

I got my Avon & Mark Catalogs & their are several items from each that are on my wishlist. Some are new, but some have been around for a little while. From Avon, their are some shadows, shadow sticks, & all over color sticks that I would love to have. You can see the items in my wished for colors below.





From Mark, there's some hook-ups & a clutch I'd like to get, shown below.





Hopefully I'll be able to get some of these. As always, if I do get any of them, you can count on me for some reviews!

e.l.f. shimmering facial whip

I've been wanting to try elf's shimmering facial whip for awhile now, but for a little while it looked like they were phasing it out. They weren't restocking colors that had gone out of stock & I was bummed because some of the colors I wanted were gone.

Well here's some happy news, it looks like they're going to keep the facial whip after all! They've restocked the colors I want, so maybe I'll get to try this soon, hopefully. Maybe this is old news, I don't know, but I'm sure happy about it!

Mineral Powder Dispensing Brush

Take your mineral foundation with you! This tool is a brush and mineral powder dispenser all in one. Made of pure pony hair, it also comes with a dial mechanism allows you to customize your application with three settings to control powder flow. This brush also has a cover top and a protective pull up sleeve to keep bristles in proper shape when not in use. This looks like something I want to try. It would probably fit better in my small case, so I can apply my minerals on the go, if necessary.

Splash Cosmetics

I've recently discovered a cosmetics company called Splash Cosmetics. Did you know that they make all over face pigments too? These look very interesting & promising, not to mention that at only $5 a pop they're very inexpensive. Has anyone tried these?
