Fragrance Review: Memoire Liquide Vacances Liquide
Vacances Liquide ($95) is like a more grown-up, luxe-smelling version of the popular Harajuku Lovers "G" scent. If you love coconut, tropical florals, and vanilla, you'll eat this one up. It opens up with a bright burst of very real jasmine, sashays its way into a mix of beachy floral and coconut water that smells like the best parts of sunscreen, then dries down to a soft, slightly woody vanilla that makes your heart break for the smell and feel of old redwood decking in the May sun.
We Found Cute, Affordable, Tiny Hair Tools
When it comes to beauty products, mini anything always seems to be a crowd-pleaser. And while not every single person can benefit from Conair's MiniPro 1" Ceramic Curling Iron ($18) and MiniPro You Style 2-in-1 Ceramic Styler ($21), these diminutive styling tools can come in handy. Plus, they're just plain cute.
Product Review: L'Oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base
Here's an excerpt from OnSugar blog Beauty Bag 411.
In a previous post I mentioned how excited I was to try this since I have been looking for a new face primer. To refresh your memory in case you missed my previous post, L'Oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base ($13) is the product that I am reviewing.
Cheap Waterproof Gel Eyeliner. . . If You Can Get It Open
I'm a huge fan of cream and gel eyeliners, so you can imagine my glee when I saw the new Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner ($10). It's about half the price of the gel eyeliners I usually buy, and since it's waterproof, it stands up to waterlining — my eyeliner application method of choice.
Sounds great, right?
Could Mousse From a Jar Really Work?
Most of the time, when I think mousse, I think foam in a can that gives my hair lots of volume. But a little while back, I found Redken Aerate 08 Bodifying Cream Mousse ($13.59) and thought, "Hmm . .
Tria Take 2: A Major Pitfall
This Bella is kind of a shaving fanatic, so while I'm extremely conscious of my water consumption, I'm more of an unwilling lingerer when it comes to showering, all thanks to my long-term relationship with Gilette's Venus. Enter, the new and improved Tria. (Which, in full disclosure, was sent to us by the folks behind the brand.) It's been about a month since I made the commitment to utilize this hair removal device, promising myself I'd make baby steps to dedicate the time to zap hair from my bikini and underarm areas only.
Product Review: Botanicals Rose and Camellia Cleansing Melt
I love supporting local brands, especially if they're natural and do your body good. That's why when I discovered Rose and Camellia Cleansing Melt (£14.95) from Botanicals, I got especially excited. This product is so much more than a face wash.

Product Review: Aveda Tourmaline Charged Eye Cream
I've been using Aveda's Tourmaline Charged Eye Cream ($32) on-and-off for several years; and recently, our love affair is back on, and here's why. The antioxidant-laden eye cream, which is more like a soft, easy-to-spread gel emulsion, never pills up on you or feels greasy. It simply just sinks right into the skin, creating a subtle luminosity under the eyes, which thanks to its smooth texture, wears nicely under concealer or foundation.
Clinique's New Moisturizer Is Even Better
I'm pretty suspicious of skin-tone-evening agents, especially since they tend to be nothing more than traditional skin bleachers like hydroquinone that may have harmful side effects. Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Correcting SPF 20 Moisturizer ($42), however, substitutes acids, caffeine, and yeast extract for the usual suspects. Huzzah!
This product is definitely a tone evener, not a lightener, so I haven't gotten any of the blotchiness that can sometimes occur with skin bleach.
