Tom Hanks and his love for Wilson

Remember that movie where Tom Hanks gets stranded on an island with a ball named Wilson? He really loved that ball and in some deleted scenes I am pretty sure their relationship was not totally platonic.  I ate a jelly sandwich when I saw it because:
A. His highlights were amazing
B. He had an awesome golden tan
C. He was obviously getting the exfoliation of his life with all that sand
D. He drank coconut water which although I think tastes disgusting seems to be all the rage in Hollywood so lets face it, homeboy started a trend. And look how much weight he lost!
E. When he finally had to leave the amazing spa vacation he came back to Helen Hunt and found that she had moved on. Dodged that bullet because she always seemed like a bitch to me. (I know its a movie but still!)



This is an amazing mascara by Too Faced called Lashgasm. It is so fabulous that even my 8 year old said that my lashes looked like a spider which was exactly what I wanted. It takes your old stubby lashes and makes them long and glossy much like a strip of fake lashes. It was so good that I even skipped the liner. Who needs it when your lashes arrive 3 seconds before the rest of you? I am pretty sure I have found my own personal Wilson. If I was ever stranded on an island this would be number two product. I mean get real, my number one would obviously be something with SPF 1000. I may long to look tan but it isn't going to happen with this Irish girl. You can find this lovely product at Ulta, Sephora and amazon.com.

Fellini is on line one

That's right people. Fellini's "La Dolce Vita" may be one of the best films ever.  He was a genius. Yeah him. Woo hoo. Party up. But lets really get down to business shall we? There is a new Dolce Vita in town and we need to give it the kudos that it deserves.

 NAR's Dolce Vita lip gloss (just writing the words is putting tears in my eyes) is hands down the best gloss I have ever tried. It has the perfect consistency, not sticky and has no smell. I had tried NAR's Bad Education gloss about a year ago and it definitely did not rock my word. Mostly because the smell made me sick but also the color turned weird on me. BUT, this gloss is the wind beneath my wings. It adds just a touch of rosy color and has enough shine to make you feel glam. It is perfect for day but with a smoky eye it would transition to night quite easily. Check it out. Its available at Neiman's, Sephora, Barney's, Nordstroms and Saks. You can also find at narscosmetics.com

Once again my crazy obsession has led me off the track, I am blaming it on Kyle from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

So this major bomb I am placing on a two party recommendation. First, I was reading an article in a fashion magazine (it could be ELLE, Bazaar or Allure but I know for a fact that they would never run that trash in Vogue) and it happened to be about some of the women from the Real Housewives reality series. They interviewed Kyle and she said something like " Smashbox in HD is what I use for EVERYTHING! It goes from day to night and always makes you look like you fab." Of course, count me in



The second I blame on my dealer and we all know her name. Just in case you don't, it's Jackie my bestie from Sephora. She sat me down matched me and sent me on my merry way with the sample loot. I was giddy to try it and see if I could look Beverly Hills good. I put it on for my very early morning shift and thought, that stuff is good. My skin is faboosh and I am actually glowing...(this was the start of my shift close to around 4:30 so I could have been a little bleary eyed.  Around 7 I did a quick glance and was not feeling the supermodel status that was there earlier so it was more of a meh.  I leave at 10 so I stopped off in the bathroom to check it out closer and I hated it! It pilled, the coverage was not even. I was a sad Baby Jane like clown. Some of it was pooling in my lines which rather than distracting them, they seemed to be proudly pointing out that those lines are not dimples. Not even really long dimples which I thought I had convinced a large of number of people back in my early 30's.
I am going to keep on looking......
