Smart Cover-Up Kit
6Aug10
I was recently sent the Smart Cover-Up Kit and I have really enjoyed playing with it for the past few weeks. The 10-piece set comes in two tones; Light Combo and Dark Combo. Depending on your choice you’re then given 3 shades of concealing crème in addition to a Color Corrector, Moisture Primer Lotion, Cover Stick, Vitamin Beauty Stick, blending sponges, camouflage brush and a travel case. I’m generally a medium-beige in foundation so I went with the Light Combo, which includes Light Beige, Medium Beige & Dark Beige concealing crèmes. That was a mistake! I gave the Light Beige away, the Medium Beige was way to light and the Dark Beige would be my correct color if it didn’t have such strong red undertones. That said I more

Who wears the Gold by Giles dress better? I’ll give this one to Drew Barrymore, the face of the Gold by Giles Deacon collection; on one condition — they bring more of his designs to America! I think that’s a fair request considering they choose an American brand ambassador.
This dress is awesome! Although I’m not photogenic, I will say this: it shaped so well and is very flattering in person. The dress fits like a glove, although it does run small (especially if you’re busty). However it’s lined and ribbed to really hold everything in place. I just wish more of this collection was available in the US. I couldn’t even find an official website for the brand! Although from what I could find out, the collection is exclusive to TheNewLook.com (super cute and reasonable fashion UK site) but the assortment currently available is very limited. I want more!

Dry skin remedy: Bio-Oil
4Aug10
Post by Erika Mercado
On a recent trip to South Africa, I found my skin to be very dry so I set out to find a local product at the chemist; I enjoy finding local remedies when I travel. What the chemist had recommended was Bio–Oil. She let me try it on my skin and it quickly absorbed and had a good smell –I’ll take it!
I continued to use the product while in the South Africa and upon my arrival to NYC and it had done wonders- making my skin so smooth and even toned. Thinking I could only get it in South Africa, I was surprised when to I found it at Duane Reade. Made with a no preservatives and a medley of good stuff (Vitamin A and E, Calendula, Lavender, and Chamomile oils) this summer my secret has been Bio-Oil. I apply after it after the shower, and I’m good to go. Great healthy skin, what else could a girl ask for?
Price: $19.99/4 fl oz., $11.99/2 fl oz. For more information visit www.bio-oil.com
