Beauty Must-Have: L'Oreal Magic Perfecting Base



if you're looking for a new makeup primer that won't break the bank, i suggest you try L'Oreal's new Magic Perfecting Base, part of the new Studio Secrets Professionalline. it gives skin a beautiful finish and smooths out any rough appearance your skin may have.

while a little bit on the pricey side for a drugstore product (yes, i bought this myself), i think Magic Perfecting Base is completely worth it. it can be worn alone to give skin a better-than-bare look, and of course, under makeup. i love how the mousse-like consistency makes my foundation look so much better and last longer. i also notice that it controls shine with its matte finish-- such a fab thing if you have oily skin!



the only thing i'm not really a fan of is the fact that it's in a jar. it would be great if they would switch it over to have a tube instead (so much more sanitary, and if you're a germ-a-phobe, you probably agree).

other than that, based on results, i think it's a beauty must-have. next time you're at your favorite drug or mass retailer, grab it. i've noticed it's been sold out more than a handful of times, and for good reason! :)

On My Holiday Wish List: Mia Tote by Big Buddha



it was the huge ruched flower that caught my attention, but i love that this Mia tote bag by Big Buddha is simple in its overall structure. it also has an embossed print on the faux leather that gives it a special look. factor in a very wallet friendly price tag and it's a perfect pick for my holiday wishlist. :)

What I'm Loving For Summer 2009



once again the editors at StyleBakery.com have created their top 10 lists of what they're loving for the season (remember my picks for spring '09 and fall '08?).

this time we are loving a lot! from tv shows to concert tours as well as items to keep you ready for the beach, we're loving some great stuff this summer!

one thing i love about summer is the show, So you think You Can Dance. seriously, who doesn't like this show? the dancing is exciting, heartbreaking and everything in between. it's so fun to watch. i'm also loving a pair of gladiator-style sandals by Carlos Santana (pictured above)-- they're metallic, fabulous and will work well beyond summer.

check out my picks for summer
