Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Refining Moisture Cream Comlpex
My mom's been using this moisturizer since forever. After washing and toning, this moisturizer keeps your skin soft and supple with a hint of fragrance. It absorbs quite quickly and is not oily.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
I have the Lipgelee in Dewy Jube color, which is absolutely gorgeous when it's on.
Mac products all have a slightly sticky/waxy feeling to it which may be unpleasant at first, but that allows maximum moisture and color staying effect.
Even after the glossiness goes away, the color still stays on for a long time.

A very effective mask for those more oily areas!
I have a T-zone, and there tends to be more oil and sebum build-up around that area, especially around the nose.
Because this mask is clay-based, it is more suitable for oily areas. It may be too drying for other areas such as your cheeks.
Great for diminishing black heads.

I LOVE these jeans.
The denim used is incredibly soft and stretchy, which is great for someone as active as me.
The curvy fit is perfect for me since my hips are wider than my waist. Usually if jeans fit me in the hips, there's a gap in the waist area.
The non-gaping waistband does what it promises - it keeps everything in and shapes it.
It's more medium to high waisted, but I think that's just how it needs to be for the non-gaping waistband to be more flattering. I don't mind it, but some might not like it.
The designs are very basic. The pair that I received are plain dark-wash, but they are very work-appropriate.
All in all, Denver Hayes make great jeans!

The breakdown of the perfume:
Top Notes: red toffee apple. Middle Notes: Calabria lemon. Base notes: cedar wood.
It's a very warm and sweet scent, so I like to use it whenever I want to feel cozy. It's a great perfume for fall and winter!

This lipstick goes on so smoothly! And it smells amazing too.
After struggling for a long time between the beige and the pink, Ali and I decided that I should go with the pink, or as YSL calls it, "Le Fuchsia" #7.
The lipstick itself fills in all the crevices, and is surprisingly moisturizing. The staying power is great as well - it stayed on even after I ate some food.
I love it!

I saw this product in one of Michelle Phan's tutorials and was so excited that I bought it that very night!
I was tired of my hair sticking to my lipgloss, and also wanted to opt for something more natural looking.
This product definitely did the trick. Although the color shows up much darker than its packaging, the color fades a little after you've licked it a few times (yummm), and it becomes more natural looking.
It's my new favorite product! Although if you're looking for something that moisturizes or have cracked lips, this product is not meant for that.

Ali and Kellie mentioned Fresh one morning as a possible caterer for one of their upcoming meetings, so I decided to look up the restaurant. The menu and images looked great, so I decided to give it a shot.
At first I was a little hesitant. I'm not a hard core carnivore, but I still like some meat in my food. However, after taking a look around and seeing what people were satisfyingly biting into, my mouth watered, and I ordered a BBQ burger with cheddar cheese.
It was absolutely delicious! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it now. I heard that the sweet potato fries with dip is good too.

I could barely contain my excitement when I was getting ready to open up the pristine box that encased my Womanity!
I absolutely love the exotic packaging. The lid design was very different than conventional perfume bottles. What makes it even better, its that it's refillable, AND the box is made from recycled paper. Way to be eco-friendly!
The scent itself is very complex with all sorts of notes. When you first spray it, there are high notes of fruitiness that keep you alert. As the day goes by, the scent descents into a more musky flavor, which is just...well...saucy!
Overall, it's a great perfume if you prefer muskier perfumes, but a great crossing over for those who like more floral and fruity, like me.
