Shu Uemura Introduces Limited-Edition Cleansing Oil

shuuemura-limited-edition-cleansing-oil
I’ve been a fan of Shu Uemura Cleansing oil for a while now because  it keeps the skin well balance while removing away makeup and dirt. I questioned using this product in the beginning because I have oily skin and I thought the cleansing oil would only exacerbate the problem.  That couldn’t be furthest from the truth! It helped my skin by removing excess oil and it even help keep my acne under control. Shu uemura cleansing oils has been to my rescue numerous times and now they have revamped the cleansing oils with a new playful packaging. Shu Uemura collaborates with manga artist and beauty expert Moyoco Anno to design limited-edition cleansing oils. The packaging is beautiful. I’m a manga fan so I’m quite tempted to buy one.

Stop by to check out the limited-edition oils. There are only a limited supply so hurry before they’re all gone!

Experience the Best of Minimalism and Luxury at London’s Rough Luxe!

roughluxehotel
Whenever I travel, I’m either looking for a simple and cheap place to sleep for a night or an all out luxurious experience in a beautiful suite. Rough Luxe in London can be described as somewhere in the middle. Located in the up-and-coming King’s Cross, Rough Luxe calls themselves as “A little bit of luxury in a rough part of London. A little bit of rough in a luxurious London.” and they couldn’t have said it better. The small and intimate hotel may only have 9 rooms (and just 3 have private bathrooms) and the chipped paint and stripped walls may seem a little dingy, but it certainly adds to the artsy starving artist vibe. Looks aside, the service makes up for everything. The manager Leo and his dog Spud make their guests feel right at home with dinner recommendations, a tour of their gallery and evening drinks with other guests. So if you’re looking for something in between a student hostel and the Four Seasons, consider staying at the Rough Luxe Hotel the next time you’re in London. Take a peek at my slideshow to see more!

Anna Sui’s Target Collection inspired by Gossip Girl

<span class=

I love Anna Sui dresses..always did, always will. So I was very happy when I found out that Anna was working on a design collaboration with Target. And now the lookbook of her collection is out. The line will be in stores and online September 13 through October 17 and it consists of nineteen Gossip Girl’inspired looks. I am not a follower of the show but I do love some of the pieces..like the black, white and red dress!
If you are a fan of the show you probably recognize the inspiration…Blair’s dresses come with high collars, two affixed with bows. Vanessa’s dresses are all oddly orange and brown. Jenny’s dresses are a confused mix of boho and schoolgirl partier. And Serena’s outfits aren’t nearly slutty enough. Another great designer collaboration!

Slide and splash in your own backyward with the Little Tikes Slam ‘n Curve Slide

Little Tikes Slam n' Curve Slide

Our neighborhood doesn’t have a pool so we have to drive to friends neighborhoods to go swimming and that can get old fast. We recently got a Little Tikes Slam n’ Curve Slide and the kids aren’t begging to go to the pool anymore! In fact, we are having kids over to play in our pool now.

Kids ages 5-10 will enjoy sliding down the curved slide into the nice cool pool. I can tell you first hand how fun the slide is because despite the fact that I am not in the recommended age range of 5-10 years old, I weight less than 300lbs which is the maximum weight I believe and therefore I thought I should try it. I’ve been down the slide more than once.  I had a blast!

The Slam n’ Curve Slide from Little Tikes is designed so parents can see the kids all of the time. The splash pool is just the right depth for Madelyn (3 yrs old) to enjoy while Sebastian goes down the slide again and again and again.  The Slam n’ Curve Slide is made of puncture-resistance material and includes everything you need to set it up including everything you need to set up and maintain the Slam n’ Curve Slide quickly and easily. Kids get up to the top of the slide by climbing an inflatable rock wall. When they get to the top, if you have the hose attached to the special spray water line, kids will be sprayed with water when they are at the top of the slide. The curve at the end of the slides makes for nice, fun, splash into the refreshing pool.

Learn more about the Little Tikes Slam n’ Curve Slide on the Little Tikes website and check the lowest prices at Amazon.com here.

The Never-Ending Denim Trend

By the Devil Wears Marc Jacobs

Denim has forever been a trend, one which some designers love, and others love to hate. Worn tight and capri length in the 50’s, long and bell-bottomed (some with patches) in the 60’s and 70’s, high waisted and speckled in acid wash in the 80’s, painted in an array of colors in the 90’s, and today it seems distressed in the newest fad.

Denim is an easy go-to, to pull off a classic, trendy, or even pulled together look. It is easy to wear, and looks even better on you!  Blank Denim has definitely made this possible, in making their cool, downtown looks easy to wear and afford. All price points for this season are under a cool $90! Whether its shorts, skinnies, colored, frayed or distressed all their denim pieces are chic and affordable. Spending never looked so good!

Impulse Buy of the Week - MAC Buckwheat Eyeshadow

mac-eyeshadow-copy
If you can only get one new brown shadow this season, THIS is the one to pick up!

Buckwheat is one of three shades featured in the new MAC Naked Honey Collection. It’s versatile, yet unique enough to earn a spot in your makeup collection. Buckwheat is a dark chocolate brown with a shimmery gold frost (shown above right).

However, what sets it apart from many other brown shadows in the line is that this has a nice touch of grey in it, and the brown leans more towards a cool bronze shade.

As with all the MAC powder eye shadows I’ve tried, this blends like a dream with a creamy, silky texture and lots of beautiful pigment. It had excellent staying power with very little creasing as well.

This is a shade that will work with virtually all skin tones and makes a beautiful smoky eye shadow choice for night time.

If you love wearing browns and neutrals this is for you! - RLB
