CoverGirl Gotta Have It Summer Beauty



CoverGirl's new "Gotta Have It" colours are like candy and they are encouraging us to play. The new collection features bright yellow, gold, shocking shades of blue and deep purple.


This summer we are encouraged to wear whatever we want and have some fun with it! The reasonable price point makes it easy to experiment without too much of a risk. The trick is in applying them correctly.


Celebrity makeup artist, Paul Venoit explained that the technology that goes into the products is better than ever and allows them to create competitive products for less. These eyeshadows are more pigmented so you don't need to apply as much to see dramatic results.


I have found that their matte colours are better than the shimmery ones for staying power, but the shimmery gold and orange look great for a more subtle summery look. The Purple Pop packs some serious punch (sorry, couldn't resist!) and more than a few beauty editors agreed it was the best of the bunch.



The Amazement lipglosses with Crest toothpaste were in my opinion a little much. While the idea of a lipgloss freshening my breath is appealing, I felt like I was licking toothpaste all evening, which was odd.

Have you tried any of these products? What did you think?

The 10 Minute Beauty Routine With Celebrity Makeup Artist Scott Patric


I love my job.

Last week I attended an event for Listerine's new Whitening Strips with Celebrity Makeup Artist, Scott Patric. Patric used Mally Cosmetics to create a gorgeous sultry makeup look that can be easily done in the 10 minutes it takes to use the Whitening Strips.

He shared some great tips on how to replicate this sultry look. The audio isn't great (I shot it on my digital camera), but there is some really useful advice worth checking out.

I tried the Listerine Whitening Strips this weekend. I normally bleach my teeth every six months using a kit from the dentist, so I really have nothing to complain about. However I do love my lattes and I'm not shy with the red wine either so I decided to see if these strips would do anything for me... read my review!

The Mally makeup they gave us is fantastic. I really like it. The palate has a gorgeous selection of shades that all work for me and the eyeliner is so soft, it's comparable to a liquid pen. Further it does not irritate my eyes at all. Read my review!

Neutrogena also threw in a tube of their Weightless Volume mascara, which is a mascara unlike anything I have ever tried. My eyelashes look and feel like I have nothing on them. Like they are naturally perfect... read my review!

Between the kit, the bleach strips and the makeup tips, it's a great beauty pick me up!
