Red Velvet Cake by Philosophy

The decadent smell of this quintessential southern treat has been captured in Philosophy's famous, 3-in-1 shampoo, body wash and bubble bath formula that offers you a delectable shower experience for homemade bath-time fun. This 100 percent calorie-free option is the sweetest way to start your day - don't forget the butter cream icing.

This is definitely on my list for Sephora the next time I visit the store. Maybe it would even mix well with the Buttercream Frosting or Hot Cocoa. Just some food for thought.

LAVANILA's "luxuriously healthy" approach, coupled with the passion and dedication of its founders, Danielle Raynor and Laura DiGirolamo, has set the stage for a beauty revolution.

Snow Bunny by Too Faced

Caribbean In A Compact - Snow Bunny

Dust yourself with this naturally naughty, perfectly natural bronzer. Enjoy year round bronzed perfection with the most natural and skin-perfecting glow this side of the Caribbean. The silky golden bronze warmth combined with a delicate pink, white shimmer, and fawn shimmer mimics a natural "just-back-from-vacation" glow.

This bronzer has a ton of shimmer and will give you that perfect little glow in the winter when you need it the most. During the summer when you may have a bit more color it looks equally as good. Very complimentary on all skin tones. It is great when used with an angled brush to create/highlight cheekbones and lightly swept down the bridge of the nose.

Dry Oil Buttercream Body Glaze by Jaqua

Jaqua Body Glaze Buttercream Frosting Dry Oil Body Spray. Just mist this on and voila! Fantastic looking skin year-round; satiny and smooth without feeling greasy. This spray contains vitamin E and meadowfoam seed oil. Scented with tempting buttercream frosting fragrance.

Hope you enjoy this Leigh-Leigh.

This product has apparently been discontinued, but luckily I was able to find it on one website www.lebelenfant.com and stocked up on two bottles. It is my all time favorite dry oil moisturizer so it was a bit devastating to see that Jaqua replaced it with some body mist that is not nearly the same. Of course the argument is that companies have to discontinue products in order to make room for new ones. Well that may be true, but why mess with a good thing.

BADgal Blue by Benefit

BADgal Blue

What it is:A deep blue-violet version of Benefit's cult-fav mascara.What it is formulated to do:Enhances your eyes: blue eyes appear more blue; brown eyes more golden; and hazel eyes more lush green. It also makes eyes look whiter and brighter.

This will give DiorShow Azure a run for it's money. Hopefully the formula is as good as the Dior mascara. The original BADgal lash looks great on, but by the end of the day it is all over the place. What do you think?

Creme Brulee by Laurence Dumont

Creme Brulee contains warm caramel, vanilla, and butter notes that bring back delicious childhood memories.

Notes:Hawthorn Fennel, Cappucino, Caramel, Vanilla, Butter, Nut.Style:Sexy. Sweet. Sensual.

This will appeal to anyone who likes caramel and vanilla, but will have to be re-applied at the end of the day. Definitely now a powerhouse, but is a nice& sweet pick me up when needed. It is good for wearing something light to the office everyday and for $23.00 it is worth picking up.

Byrant Park by Bond No.9

Bond No 9 is about to release Bryant Park, The Scent of New York’s Frenzied Fashionistas Descending on a Lush Oasis of WiFe’ed Greenery Just One Block from Times Square. Inspired by the park in the heart of midtown Mandattan, the current home of the New York Fashion Week, the scent is said to be Bond No 9's "most fashion-oriented eau de parfum: a rose-patchouli concoction with pink pepper added for dissonance".

Not so demure lily of the valley. Rhubarb too feisty for a fruit pie. Nearly sneeze-able pink pepperthat undercuts any hint of sweetness. Rose, for a dose of undiluted femininity. In your face, insolent patchouli. Tart and decadent raspberry. Soothingly sensual amber.

Tamanu nut is known throughout the islands to soothe and heal the skin; it falls naturally from the sacred ™Tree of 1000 Virtues™
Monoi de Tahiti is also known to the people of Tahiti as ™Sacred Oil™; this native island recipe of coconut oil and Tiare flower has long been used to hydrate the skin and hair
Our Coconut Vanille fragrance is the beach in a bottle: The tropical scents of Coconut and Bamboo float within White Iris and Musk, transporting the senses and the imagination.

Becca Beach Tint

This beautifully blendable, water-resistant, oil-free, watermelon-scented, creme stain for cheeks and lips suits all skin types and dries to a perfect, streak-free, non-greasy, non-drying finish. Can be layered under powdered blushes, bronzers, lip balms, and glosses for added intensity.


Apply a small amount and rub between fingertips to disburse the color intensity. I made the mistake of applying way to much of this tint and looked as if I had a bad wind burn. The old rule of thumb that a little bit goes a long way couldn't be more true when using this cheek tint. It is selling out in Sephora and every other store that carries it.

However, if you suffer from rosacea I don't recommend using this b/c it will only increase the flushed appearance in you skin. Becca also makes a creme blush called Rosebud that would serve as a nice alternative to this beach tint for those who deal with excessive redness on the cheeks. There was recently an article from In Style magazine listing beneficial foods for Rosacea: fish, cucumbers, and licorice.

Buttercream Frosting by Philosophy

This limited edition Buttercream body wash will satisfy your sweet tooth without the calories. I had the chance to try this multitasking product and was pleasantly surprised with the authentic smell it provided. Buttercream scented lotions or soaps typically have a chemical undertone, but not this one. It is very reminiscent of the aroma lofting around in Magnolia Bakery after the cupcakes have been dressed with that icing we love so much. It can also be used as Shampoo and Bubble Bath, which is perfect to fill the craving when you can't get the real thing. Philosophy has outdone themselves with this one.

Scent of Peace by Bond No. 9

Recently at a local boutique called Plain Jane in West Chester, PA I had the experience of smelling Bond No. 9's Scent of Peace. WOW! It is everything you want in an everyday fragrance. The notes are refreshing and captivating. Usually strong overpowering perfumes give me wicked headaches, but not this beauty. The thick lavender bottle is adorned with a dove in the middle to symbolize peace. Everytime I have this on people ask me what I am wearing. Of course I am never shy about telling anyone who asks b/c this perfume should be promoted. It is growing in popularity and is a must have for any fragranceofile.
