Giveaway Break - Addiction NV Stay Connected Clutch



I'm all about being organized, and this clutch is the answer to my organizational prayers. How cute is this Addiction NV Stay Connected Clutch? It's a black, woven zip case, featuring a matte silver wrist chain, a built-in cell phone holder, a credit card and ID compartment, a mirror and all 3 brand new True Commitment Dual Lip Stain and Glosses. I love the pink bow detail on the silver wrist chain!


The True Commitment lip glosses come in the following colors:

  • Rendezvous - Matte red/pink shimmer gloss
  • Summer Lovin' - Matte orange/gold shimmer gloss
  • Spring Fling - Bronze shimmer/clear shimmer gloss

These glosses are long lasting - kiss proof, food proof and drink proof, tested by me. I got to try out Spring Fling which is a perfect color when you have a little sun kissed skin in the Summer. The bronze lip stain goes on shiny but finishes matte, personally, I like it with the gloss over top. The gloss looks great by itself too.  I put this on before work (around 7:30am) and it stayed on through lunch. Amazing!

Valentine's Day Prep - Part 1

Whether you're going out with your main squeeze or having a ladies night out this Valentine's Day, you have to prep! Some of you may even be celebrating early this weekend. Here are some helpful products, tips and tricks for getting all prettied-up for February 14th :)
Bliss Fabulips Treatment Kit
Every pair of lips need a good scrub, especially with this dry winter weather. Bliss Fabulips Treatment Kit gives your lips the extra TLC they need. It's an easy 4 step kit that will make your lips soft and plump. The kit includes:

Step 1 Foaming lip cleanser - This is the coolest. Put a thin layer on your lips and watch it foam up as it lifts impurities from your lips.

Step 2 Sugar lip scrub - Apply a thin amount and massage into lips with your finger. The scrub will remove dead skin and polish your lips. I used a damp wash cloth to remove the scrub afterwards.

Step 3 Instant lip plumper - Add some volume to your lips with this lip plumper. It's a gloss, so I usually put the balm on first, and then follow up with this.

Step 4 Softening lip Balm - Love this balm! If you know me, you know I have a moisturizer/balm in every corner of my house! This one is a keeper. Goes on ultra smooth, not too chalky or balmy, and lasts.

The kit retails for $45, which is a great deal compared to all the items you receive purchased separately.

Glowology Amazing Legs
Amazing is right. This shaving cream is dreamy. Get your legs ready for your Valentine's Day dress with Glowology Amazing Legs. This shaving cream is formulated with Pacific Sea Kelp and Vitamin A (which is known to treat eczema). It's also clinically-tested and hypoallergenic. It didn't bother my eczema and I got a clean, close shave with it. A little goes a long way too. You don't have to slather it on real thick to use it. The 4.5 ounce tube sells for $14.99 on Glowology.com.


Arm & Hammer Baking Soda
I remember my grandma use to make me brush my teeth with baking soda when I spent the night at her house. I always thought it was odd, and tasted a little funny, but never questioned it, because I always knew that grandma knew best!

Baking soda can act as a gentle exfoliate for your teeth. A sprinkle of Arm & Hammer Baking Soda on top of your toothpaste on your toothbrush, can help to lift stains from teeth, leaving them sparkly white. I always like to use it at night after I've had a glass (or two!) of red wine.

Strictly Business with Julep Nail Polish in Demi

Jason Wu Madness

Hi all - Did you wake up early for Jason Wu at Target? I was an hour late to my Target, but still scored a dress and top (to the left). For those of you who haven't shopped yet, the sizes run fairly big. I normally wear a Small in a Target dress size, and the XS for Jason Wu fit me to a tee.

Let me know what you get!


Jason Wu for Target

Who's excited??? I can't wait to check out this line tomorrow morning. I'm going as soon as my local Target opens. I hope I can score some cute dresses for work. You can preview the Jason Wu line on Target's site. 


I'm not a huge fan of Target for home goods and beauty stuff. I had a bad experience there when it came to registering for my bridal shower, but these partnerships with high fashion designers are making me rethink loyalty to them. It's genius really. It's fun saying you own a dress or clutch from a lux designer you couldn't normally afford. Same with H&M when they did the Jimmy Cho line. I hope there are more designer partnerships to come!


Let me know what you girls score tomorrow!
