I was watching QVC and saw the most adorable commemorative box of Philosophy's Limited Edition Hope in a Jar moisturizer -- a cult favorite (but screw the cult, I love this stuff whether they do or not). It was a big red textured, glittery box with the Oprah seal -- her baby picture imposed inside of her "O" logo, and a sweet little note from Philosophy to Oprah on the inside flap.

I went in on that Rock & Republic cosmetic sale and got a ton of really nice products for half off. I love a good sale, and that one seemed to be going on for the longest. Recently I picked up their Tinted Primer and Tinted Illuminizer duo, both are priced at $46 (each), but the duo was priced at $46 for both. Add the 50% off coupon and that's both items for just $23 :D Heck yes...

Ooooh the taboo subject of...*whispers*...facial hair!! Ok well maybe it's not "taboo", but it's one of those things most women aren't comfortable talking about -- understandably. I'm gonna attempt to break that ice for you all, because it is something that so many of us face and stress over quietly. Lots of women refuse to go out in public donning their 2 o'clock shadows in an effort to get it removed professionally. Well now you really don't have to.

Alright, kids...the day has finally come for me to give a full and thorough review of the Clarisonic Plus ($225). I've been using this tool since January of this year, and I have many things to say about it *cracks knuckles*, so here we go...

I see you. You're outside standing under a 900-thread count blanket of heat and humidity. You're not happy. Your makeup is sliding off your face. You're sweating like a hooker in church. You're greasier than Jermaine Jackson in 1997. It's hotter than the rubber on the bottom of Precious's shoes after she stole that bucket of chicken and ran off to class like a bat out of hell. Miserable, huh? I hate this time of year! The east coast humidity is just...so ridiculous and unfair. You can stand outside and literally do nothing but stand...and start pouring buckets of sweat. That ain't right! I get so greasy and oily this time of year, so I needed something to soak up that oil like a Popeye's biscuit...and I found it!!!

I can't even begin to tell you how far drugstore foundations have come over the years. I remember back in high school, every girl who wore foundation had a ring around her shirt collar. It was a dead, orangey giveaway that was never flattering. I always saw it after gym class, when she'd be all sweaty and crap. Her makeup would melt off and party on her shirt collar -ugh. I never wanted to have that symbolic orangey brown makeup collar so I avoided foundations altogether. I just felt they'd look cakey and unnatural, so I was like "Screw it!".
