Cosmetic Confections: NARS Is Good Enough To Eat

How cute are these NARS-inspired cupcakes? BellaSugar tipped me off to these couture confections by Dots Treats in North Miami Beach, Florida. I'm a chocaholic with a serious sweet tooth - but oddly enough, this photo has me craving NARS Duo Eyeshadow in Rated R.

A few months ago, my sister reluctantly went shopping with me and I rewarded/bribed her with this duet of chartreuse and cobolt shimmer shadows. It looks so gorgeous on, it's sick.

Now, looking at this pic, I'm green with envy. Perhaps my sister will read this post and return the favor. Lauren, are you listening? Help a sista out!

You Like Me, You Really Like Me

I was recently contacted by BellaSugar.com - asking if they could feature my review of Clinique's SuperMoisture Makeup in an upcoming post. I said yes, of course!

And now it's up!!! I'm so excited, and honored, that the geniuses at BellaSugar thought my critique was worthy of posting on their main page.

So, even if you've already heard about my experience with this new product - check it out anyway.

Pretty In Pink

I was just surfing one of my favorite blogs (BellaSugar) and read about the sweetest deal happening this month.

It's called Pretty in Pink, and it gives you the chance to save up to 90% on spa and salon services. All month long, spas and salons across the country will offer $31 treatments to raise awareness and money for the Y-Me National Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation. So you can get laser hair removal, mesotherapy, IPL, microdermabrasion, haircuts, pedicures and more for just $31 each. To see what's available near you, check out this complete list.

If you decide to spend your $31 on a haircut, I recommend against the Duckie 'do (right).

Bravo, Bella...thanks for the tip!
