TUBEREUSE 1-CAPRICIEUSE (capricious): A powdery floral that combines the freshness of bergamot and the warmth of saffron with essences iris and ylang-ylang. The base notes of opulent suede and cocoa leave a mysterious and addictive trail.
TUBEREUSE 2-VIRGINALE (virginal): A floral oriental that combines sparkling mandarin orange and sweet cherry with smooth frangipani, Tahitian tiara flowers and sensual jasmine. A blend of patchouli leaf, blond wood and vanilla form the base notes of this deep and sensual scent.
TUBEREUSE 3-ANIMALE (animal): A floral and tobacco leather scent oozes power and inner strength, this scent opens with a bath of fresh kumquat and neroli and leads into a strong combination of plum, herbs and dry grasses. Blond tobacco and Immortelle flower leave intense base notes that linger.
In the spirit of all things candy-coated, Benefit Cosmetics recently added this deliciously shimmery pink beige velvet eyeshadow shade to their collection (buns swatch, at left).
If you’re a sugarbomb addict (aren’t we all?), this eyeshadow shade is a perfect partner for your favorite cheek color! As always, Benefit’s eye shadows are a silky treat, apply smoothly and deliver build-able color for a subtle or more dramatic look.
Off label use: In a pinch, this shadow shade also makes a great blush!
Retail price is $18. Other new shades include Bo Peep (lily pink), fancy pansy (lavender), mermaid (golden turquoise), nice melons (papaya pearl) and shamrocker (iced mint). Don’t be afraid to play with some color this season, ladies!

They’re at it again! Just when I think Benefit has completely drained the well of shade ideas for their fabulous face powders, they manage to create yet another favorite!
Or, should I say FOUR favorites? That’s right. This tiny box contains four shimmery shades in a harlequin pattern, one a pinkish bronze (bottom), two shades of pink (top and right) and one peach (left). Swirled together, the combination of the four is an enchanting, glowy candy-coated shade that is to die for. And what better way to make yourself look delicious for that romantic Valentine’s Day date?
Retail price is $28.

When I recently received word of this promotion via email, I knew I needed to blog about it immediately for the benefit of my readers.
Ordinarily, I pass on Body Oil. Slathering myself in oil generally makes me feel more like a salad than a woman, but the LaLicious formula is different. LaLicious Body Oil has a gel-like consistency, making it less messy and easier to control while applying. It absorbs rapidly enough that I'm never concerned about staining my clothing, and leaves behind the slightest hint of yummy scent. My super-dry skin just drinks this moisturizing formula right up!
Ordinary retail price for the LaLicous Collection Gift Set (pictured above) is $95, but from November 15 through January 2, you can score 25% off of this set! What a terrific hostess gift this box of 4 full sized products would make.
The Collection Gift Set is offered in the following scents: Brown Sugar & Vanilla, Coconut Cream, Lily Mango, Passionfruit Lime, Island Guava, Tahitian Flower and Peppermint. My pick for the season? Peppermint. Unlike some "mint" scents that can be overpowering in a menthol sort of way, the LaLicious take on Peppermint is sugary sweet, just like a candy cane! Yummy!
