Talk to me about Vibrating Mascaras!

 
Okay, I admit it.  I may be the only beauty blogger worth her salt who has yet to try any of the what seems like eleventy billion vibrating mascaras now on the market.  I have heard some raves and some mehs, but I have not tried them myself.  Sorry, but I'm not a huge fan of pointing a vibrating implement at my eye.  Now, other places ... well, ahem.  That's neither here nor there.

So, Talk To Me!  Tell me if I should try vibrating mascaras.  Why or why not?

Hotter than Hell: Alexander Skarsgard

Okay, this should not come as a shock to y'all.  I love me some vampires.  Yes, I do.  And yes, I know they're fictional characters, people.  Don't feel that you have to flood the comments or my e-mail box with how Jean-Claude and Asher and Lestat and Louis don't actually exist.  I know.  It would just be nice if they did, is all I'm saying.

So, of course, since I love vampires, I am a fan of True Blood (the show, haven't read the books yet, but I plan to).  However, I can't say that I love Vampire Bill.  I find him patently unsexy in every way, including that ridiculous accent.  I don't know many people from Louisiana, but I know none of them sound like that.  Maybe they did during the Civil War?  But how the heck would they have researched that?  No, I'm going with Stephen Moyer is doing his best impression of what he thinks a Civil War era Louisianan would have sounded like and it is not.good.  You know what is good, though?  The glorious face of one Alexander Skarsgard, known to True Blood fans as Eric.

Urban Decay Get Baked Eyeshadow Palette

 

Y'all, it is summer, summer, summertime!  And in the summer, I am all about the bronze and the metallic.  And, if you ask me, nobody does the metallic effect better than Urban Decay!  This Urban Decay Get Baked Eyeshadow Palette is the business, do you hear me?

Pacifica Solid Perfume

 

For the last couple of months, I have been enjoying the Pacifica shower gels - I have Tuscan Blood Orange and Hawaiian Ruby Guava.  They are equally yummy.  So, imagine my excitement when, walking through Wegman's with the troupe after a meeting, Lotus spotted a Pacifica display and on it ... the entire Pacifica line, including Solid Perfume!

Lavanila The Healthy Deodorant

 

So everything beautiful isn't about makeup, y'all!  It is totally not beautiful to be funky.  LOL!

As a fan of Lavanila scents, I was keen to try Lavanila The Healthy Deodorant.  I am not one of those girls who searches for organic or healthy beauty products, but it can never hurt when you know that you can get the beautification you need without doing any undue damage to your body or the environment, right?

Smashbox Jet Set Waterproof Eyeliner

 

I am a huge lover of a good gel eyeliner.  They give you the oomph of a liquid liner, but I find them easier to apply and less mistake-prone.  I have fallen head over heels for both MAC's Fluidline and Bobbi Brown's Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner, so when I got the chance to try Smashbox Jet Set Waterproof Eyeliner, I went for it, to see if I needed to make this a permanent part of my gel liner wardrobe.
