Philosophy Makeup Gift Sets 2010, 2011
Philosophy Makeup Gift Sets 2010, 2011
Philosophy is a makeup company that works to make products that help to bring out the best in one’s skin. This is just as valuable for girls as it is for adults. With this in mind there are many makeup gift sets for girls to check out from Philosophy that feature materials that can be used by all sorts of girls for their beauty needs.
The Supernatural line of products that are available from Philosophy are popular products to check out in gift sets for girls. Natural minerals are used for all of the makeup items so that there are no artificial ingredients used in the entire material. A standard facial cream, eyeliner materials and a thick kabuki brush are featured in one of these sets from Philosophy.
Face priming materials are great to see in many sets. A primer in the Supernatural line works to get one’s skin evened out and to help with having one’s skin protected with SPF 15 materials.
One popular set to see from Philosophy is the Coloring Book set. This features mascara, a lip pencil that can be applied directly onto one’s lips and lip gloss. A blush can also work to help with adding hues to one’s face that can be very appealing.
The Funny Girl set is also popular. This Philosophy set features a pink and bronze blush set with a portable mirror for application. Big Mouth lip plump, which works to help with accentuating the appearance of one’s lips, is also featured in this set.
Purse Party, Buy Handbags on a Budget, 2010, 2011
Purse Party, Buy Handbags on a Budget, 2010, 2011
Purse parties are a fun and cost effective way to get the latest designer styles for bargain basement prices. Despite the questionable lines of ethics and stigmas behind these estrogen fused gatherings, those who have experienced one will usually admit they had fun and found some great deals. What are the implications of purse parties? Are we fueling an unfair and unethical market, or is it just a guilty pleasure? The answer depends.
Purses purchased at purse parties are typically knockoffs of designer styles. Many times the outward quality of these purses is so accurate that it is difficult to decipher them from their real counterparts. This is appealing to fashionistas on a budget who want to designer look, but can’t pay the designer price. What is the real cost of buying one of these purses?
These knockoffs are frequently made in “sweat shop” type factories in developing countries where the workers may endure questionable working environments. Buying knockoff’s further enables the continued practice of substandard working conditions. The designs are also blatant rip-offs of a designer’s intellectual property and life’s work. There is no guarantee that the designer in question gave permission or even has knowledge that his/her hard work is being sold in this manner.
Additionally the purses, although outwardly stylish and indistinguishable from the original, are far inferior in quality. If the designer version costs $400 but will last for several years of use and abuse, is it worth buying a knockoff for $80 that might fall apart a month later?
While purse parties are fun, there are many factors to consider when supporting these companies. Only you can decide what you are willing to do for that latest designer trendy look.
Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow Singles in Antique Jade Review
Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow Singles in Antique Jade Review
I hadn’t done much with makeup in the last year. I might throw on a bit of powder, maybe a bit of lipstick and eyeliner, but eyeshadow was out of the question. However, I have started up again and one color that caught my eye recently was Antique Jade. At first, I was looking for makeup from L’Oreal’s HIP line, but I was a bit scared to try a pigment. I have noticed that when I’m scared to try something, I generally find a product I love instead. And this time was no different.
“Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow”
First of all, I am frightened of green eyeshadow. It looked like something that I wouldn’t be able to wear. When I took the risk, I discovered this:
You need a base for this eyeshadow. It doesn’t have to be a good one—my L.A. Colors Liquid Concealer works just fine. Otherwise, you end up with creasing, transfering (I ended up with a bald patch on my eye. It was rather bizarre.) upward, and just looking funky.
You can also layer it as thick or as thin as you want. I use a makeup brush instead of the applicator (it went straight in the trash can.) and one swipe is kind of a mint green with almost no shimmer. This being a high-pearl eyeshadow, I was kind hoping for a wee bit more. So I added a little bit more. Not quite there. One or two more swipes gives me a shiny, almost june bug look. I loved it. But it wasn’t quite right. So I took some Night Sky and used that in the crease and blended well. I loved that even more!
In short, I will be buying this again. It’s a great fix for if you use a little bit too much black eyeshadow (Guilty!) and want to brighten it up. All you have to do is pack a little bit on top and voila. No more “Got in a fight” look!
NYC Eyeliner Duet in Black and Silver 2010
NYC Eyeliner Duet in Black and Silver
I’ve used NYC’s eyeliner duets for years, off and on because of their variety of colors. They have anything from purple to green to silver to blue. One of my favorites, however, it the black and silver and I frequently go back to it.
The product has very simple packaging. It is double sided, with each end having a body the color of the pencil itself. The pencils are about seven inches long and have a clear cap on each end to preserve your eyeliner. I find that the caps crack rather easily, but don’t usually break for a while. You can probably snag a little tape and tape the caps up before they crack. I haven’t tried this.
I do find that with most unnaturally colored pencils, they are either ridiculously soft or a bit hard. These are a bit on the hard side. A tip, (and this is for adults or needs to be done with adult supervision) is to set the tip on fire for about three seconds, until it starts to run. Blow it out and then let it sit for a few seconds or longer to let it set back up. It won’t be as sharp as usual, but it will provide adequate color payout.
Keep in mind that you don’t have to do the above to the black side. That side has never been too hard. It’s only the colors like purple and grey, etc.
This is a decent eye duo. It could be a bit better, but for the price, it can’t be beat. I find that it’s best to freeze these for an hour or two before you try to sharpen them.

Most girls know how annoying it can become when you have to drag your book bag and purse with your to class. This can be especially difficult if you’re one of those students that enjoy biking to and from her classes!

There are many handbags which are perfectly tailored for the girly girls of the world. If you want a handbag that radiates femininity while giving a chic, professional appearance, then you may want to consider an adorably fashioned handbag with ruffles!

Many will agree that there is nothing more feminine than ruffles. Also, ruffles are a fantastic way to add a pop of texture to your outfit! You can essentially get ruffled handbags in any color. However, you should keep in mind that brightly colored handbags must be paired with neutral clothing. If you’re wearing clothing which is brightly colored, you should get handbag which matches your colorful outfit, rather than contrasts with it.

Ruffled handbags can come from many sources. If you a little money to burn, you can go all out with a Valentine style ruffled handbag which will run you over $8,000. Yes, $8,000 is pretty steep, but you should keep in mind that designer handbags can be representative of your status in America. If you’ve got the hottest handbag, then you immediately become VIP.

If you still want the adorable feminine look of the classic ruffled handbag, you may want to consider a less expensive designer such as Melie Bianco. These bags will run you less than $40, and are the perfect addition to any wardrobe collection.
Yellow Bright Happy Colors Ruffle Bag
Don’t fret! You can still have a classy handbag without destroying your bank account! Furthermore, if you can lay down more than $40 but still feel that $8,000 is a bit steep for handbag, you can always consider a ruffled bag from Moschino for just over $1,000.
