Q-pot + Disney Japan is fabulous

December 2nd, 2008

Again, I’ve managed to find more lust items that I’ll most likely never own… it’s the wonderful pieces of jewelry from the collaboration between Japanese brand Q-Pot and Disney. The collection is based on Mickey Mouse and Alice in Wonderland (almost everyone loves Alice?) It features amazing necklaces, rings, charms and other items that are making me wish I lived in Japan—they make the coolest stuff! My favorite pieces are the edgy Alice teardrop and Minnie Mouse rings. I’m thinking I could use Japan to door to a purchase the Minnie ring, it’s more affordable (around $150 US) than the Alice ring priced around $340 US. Has anyone ever used that site before? Otherwise, I could wait around and see if something pops up on eBay.

My favorites:

Demeter’s chocolate candy fragrances

November 21st, 2008

I’ve never actually taken a whiff of any Demeter Fragrance Library scents before. I guess they never jumped out at me because of the boring bottles. According to Marsadie they smell true to the scent they claim to be. They remind me of those little smellTHIS fragrances from back in the day. Remember those?

Anyway, I was browsing Sephora for perfumes one day and noticed they had a Hershey’s Reese’s scent. Who wants to smell like chocolate and peanut butter? The boyfriend is a sweets addict, but right now he’s on a diet so, if I wore Reese’s perfume I’d probably be running around the house trying to get away from him! Not only do they have Reese’s but they also have Junior Mints, Hershey’s Kisses, Tootsie Roll, and Hershey’s Dark chocolate.

Has anyone ever smelled these before? Maybe they could be good because they’re all oriental fragrances which is one of my favorite fragrance categories. They should put a disclaimer on the bottles: Do not wear to Weight Watchers meetings. OK, I’m trying to be funny and it’s not working. I’m really curious about these scents though.

Get Halloween-beautiful!

October 18th, 2008

Halloween is only a little over two weeks away and it’s time to get into the “holiday” spirit! A fun way to do so is through your look. Orange is one of the most popular colors for Halloween, so why not incorporate the color into your look. Achieve this by painting your nails orange, or, wearing orange eyeshadow. Remember not to overdo it; make sure the rest of your makeup is mostly neutral. Halloween is also a good excuse to try out those trendy dark colors!

I’ll go trick-or-treating if I can score any of these products!

1. Calvin Klein Purple Variation Eyeshadow Quad - Great quad for a complete vampy eye look.
2. L’Oreal HIP Eyeshadow - Good quality and colors for the price.
3. N.Y.C Long Wearing Nail Polish in Time Square Tangerine Creme - A bargain selling around a buck a pop!
4. HALLOWEEN For Women By JESUS DEL POZO - Bought this for a friend once. It’s strong but smells really nice. Plus it’s by Jesus so it’s got to be good.
5. Philosophy Haunted House Trio - I bet the caramel apple smells good enough to eat.
