Kenzo Ryoko Collection: 2009

I last wrote about Kenzo Parfums adorably-petite, pebble-inspired atomizers last year. While the 2009 collection is slightly different twist from 2008 (the packaging is saturated with color), the brilliance of the concept remains the same. Small, travel-sized fragrance options at a great price-point! Each RYOKO (meaning travel in Japanese) contains less than 3 oz. of fragrance. The smooth silhouette is unbelievably modern.

Color Me Thrilled! Raging Rouge Mention In Women’s World Magazine!

It's pretty rare for me to revisit past reviews on Raging Rouge, but today I'll be making an exception. Why? A few weeks ago, I was contacted by Women's World magazine to provide a product idea for women in search of the best shave gel. My very first appearance in the mainstream media!

It's didn't take long for me to make my selection for the publication. I originally wrote about EOS (the Evolution of Smooth) in January (click HERE to read my original review). I've been using this product regularly ever since.

To think I once used my husband's manly-smelling shave gel! EOS has yummy options like Pomegranate Raspberry (my original addiction), Vanilla Bliss (my latest acquisition) and Island Blue (likely my next purchase). The formula is so amazingly moisturizing, you can skip post-shower lotion if you're in a hurry. In fact, you can even skip the shower entirely!

Retail price varies by retailer, but EOS shave cream generally retails for under $5 per bottle. A screamingly good deal for such a terrific shave!

Don't forget to grab yourself a copy of Women's World! My issue will be on newsstands until July 13th… (check out page 33). I had a blast reading the rest of the magazine, too. Great shopping, cooking and craft ideas abound, ladies! There's something for everyone!

CARGO: Water Resistant Bronzer

cargo, water resistant bronzer, summer 2009, makeup, cosmetics, beauty I'm not exactly living a "beachy" lifestyle, so I tested this product in the comfort of my own bathroom. I applied CARGO's Water Resistant Bronzer on my face, quite heavily. Then, I leaned over the sink and splashed water onto my skin. NO STREAKS! In fact, even with water literally running down my face, this shimmery bronzer stayed put and looked as gorgeous as ever.

So here it is, in a nutshell. I'd have to label CARGO's Water Resistant Bronzer a must-have for summer. Not only does it impart the most natural-looking, glistening tan shade, but the stay-put formula is ideal for those of you who simply do not tolerate the dreaded summertime makeup slide. It's a great candidate for those of you who use bronzer on your body, as well!

CARGO Water Resistant Bronzer retails for $28.
