Fab Fridays

Meg here! I am going to be very positive because it is Friday and no one likes a bitch fest (O.K.-Who am I kidding? We all Love a bitch fest here and there.) So I am going to start my rant and I hope you all jump on in. What's that saying? "If you don't have anything nice to say then come sit next to me."

I used to love going into Sephora and playing with the new cool products I had never heard of! It was amazing to see these hip indie brands that you could never find at Bloomingdales or on the Nordstrom's cosmetic floor.
Well, Sephora got really big. Pretty soon it seemed like they edged out their hip indie lines and soon, except for a few really great boutique brands, I was back in a mass of Clinique and Lancome. Not there is anything wrong with being Clinique or Lancome. Every once in a while I want a vanilla ice cream. Vanilla is a strong choice, but I feel so much more alive sipping a Baskin Robbins Mocha Blast with whipped cream and cinnamon.

Wow Factor! That's something that gets me excited. Hearing "Where did you find that?" is more exciting to me then "Have you lost weight?"

B-Glowing.com is my answer to the Sephora Vanilla. There will always be a place for the classic-but baby, bring me something new to swoon for.

MissRo here! My Mixed Chicks experience continues. Last time I told you about their amazing Deep Conditioner. Well now, it's all about their Shampoo.

I'm pretty picky about hair care products. When you have naturally curly hair, you can't just use any product. Most of the time I'm looking for anything that tames the frizz. Everything from Shampoo, to Conditioner, to styling products, everything has to smooth out my hair. So, when it comes to shampoo, it has to be conditioning, light weight, and easily washes out of my hair with no residue.

The Mixed Chicks Shampoo is rich and luxurious with a very pleasant smell. It also lathers up nicely and when you wash it out, your hair is squeaky clean and feels very light weight. With a combination of borage seed and avocado oils it provides the perfect amount of conditioning elements so your hair is smooth like silk.

Meg here! We have a great question for Mr. Marco Pelusi-our hair guru, it's a good one and one I'm sure a lot you want the answer to!
Q: "I am going out for my birthday and I want my hair to look amazing. I
have long wavy hair.  What is a style that looks hip, trendy, yet sexy?"
A: "You're in luck, my dear. Long wavy hair is BACK! It first of all would be nice to get a quick trim, along with adding a few longer, well-blended layers to tame and shape and help control those waves. Go to someone who knows curly wavy hair.  It can be a nice solid line at the bottom, and if it's short enough (closer to the shoulder), it can lean forward. Or it could be cut into a 'V' in the back bottom.

Tantejoan here and I Love a Mystery! Ever since I had that color makeover by Maybelline’s color consultant Chuck Hezekiah I have been keeping in mind his comment about the changeable nature of my eye color lending itself to a very broad spectrum of colors.  Now, when I go to the drugstore or department store counter, I admit I am a bit bolder in my choice of colors, and it is quite exhilarating, especially since the previews of fall fashions all show that jewel tones are back, in clothing and in makeup.

But my favorite colors for the eye are actually a form of no-color, the greiges and blue-greys and greenish-taupes that look especially good in these early, pre-Fall days.  Their indeterminate hues make my blue eyes come to the fore, but veiled in a kind of mystery.  That’s why, when Meg sent me an eye shadow from Julie Hewett called “Mystere” I leaped to be first in line to review it.

MissRo here to tell you about the new fragrance by Yves Saint Laurent - Parisienne. I have one word for you - HOT! Oh and sexy. People are already talking about the ad for it, which is not yet released, but is on the YSL site. Check it out!

I don't know about you, but I'm ready to move to Paris! And they could not have picked a better person to represent the fragrance, because I love Kate Moss. People are saying "but she's a Mom, should she really be representing herself in that fashion?" Well, she's a single Mom and I think there is nothing wrong with celebrating what makes you a women.
