Sneek Peek at Hard Candy Spring 2013


A huge thanks to my pal Halifax at Sparkled Beauty for this one. Halifax shared a link to this Instagram pic from a blogger who attended a recent Hard Candy press event. You can see that there are NEW polishes with a new bottle style (they kind of remind me of Maybelline Color Show), and what looks to be some Fox In A Box-ish blushes.



I'm sad to see the iconic Hard Candy rings go away, but

Beauty clearance sales (and a haul pic!)

Sally Hansen Blackberry Honey vs. Clinique Black Honey

I believe this new product from Olay first debuted last fall, but I heard that it was only available in a trial size at some retail locations.

I have found this to be 100% true over the years, and I actually just spotted both Girly and Heavenly at Rite Aid the

Spotted: New Garnier The Radiance Renewer Cleansing Gelée and The Soothing Remover Cleansing Towelettes


When it comes to beauty product descriptions, there are certain keywords that trigger me to want to buy a product (or least hold it in my hands and linger over it for a while). Two of those words happen to be "gelée" and "cushioning" (others that do the trick include "milky," "creamy," "whipped" and you get the idea...).
