Drugstore Cosmetics Bonanza

No clever alliteration or anything, but it still sounds like a blast, right? Hahahaa!

So the Drugstore Paparazzi is back.. yes still with fuzzy photos, but is looking to upgrade in the summer of '09. Hmmmm. Check out what I found! I was so excited to see new products. Waiting for the drugstore to debut new products is like watching grass grow! (But I def can't keep up with MAC's speed!)

Halle Barry! Halle Berry! New Revlon goodies: ColorStay Mineral Mousee Makeup and Powder Finishers!

16 hour makeup and an array of shades!

Do we see some MSF dupes? Marble, baked, mineral powders are quite popular. Glad Revlon jumped the band wagon!

This ColorStay Mineral Finishing Powder comes in 3 shades. One appears to look like a Refined MSF dupe! I shall buy it soon and find out!

(eeks $13.99 each, CVS)

Milani Vintage Collection! All the drool worthy pastels! Oh I can't wait to buy these!

($4.99)

I had to show you this. This is the 'new' Sally Henson HD polish display.

Pathetic.

This isn't LA Girls latest collection, but it was LA Girls period. A fun collection

that I grabbed a couple of colors from.

($2-3, beauty supply)

Yes, another Milani product that I read about over at Nessa's blog and couldn't wait to see in person! Check out her review here.

($8.99, CVS)

Have you seen these items? Have you tried them? Is my store late at stocking the goodies? What did you think of them? What should I buy or stay away from??

Yummy411: My Beauty World

Beyonce has a commercial out now promoting her new Beyonce phone; Sprint's Upstage celly with her name across the top. I wonder if special images and ringtones are already downloaded on the phone? Still not interested. Can anyone suggest a reliable and cute pda on Sprint's network?

I visited the Thursday 8th Street Open Air Market with my friend Julie. We got some treats: delicious raw honey (the flavor) gelato; huge cookies the size of my head and I almost bought some gourmet soaps. I know I could make those at home, but sometimes it's much nicer to go somewhere let them do all the mixing, cutting, etc. There were other tasty treats like empanadas, crab cakes and soup, but I have to save something for the next trip.

As you can see, we got another special treat! We got to meet Wolfgang Puck! I hope to taste the fine fare at his new restaurant, The Source, opening up right across the street from my job.. woo hoo!

Keeping things all about beauty, my friend Julie gets her glowing, low maintenance look with the help of Clarins pressed powder that gives her buildable, light to medium coverage. She swears by Lancome mascaras for long, separated lashes.

The weekend before last, Apple Diva made her way over to the DC area for a concert. Of course we had to link up. We met and chatted over food from Cafe Asia (tempura veggies, yum!) Apple Diva had on great makeup behind her chic eye glasses. I wouldn't be able to show you because the images aren't authorized for publication from Apple Diva.. so just know that I told you so! LOL

The first of MAC's holiday collections hit stores this Thursday: Antiquitease.

What's on your to- buy list?! I wanna hear!

New Tech: iPhone vs. LG KE850

All the rave has been about the new iPhone. However, the LG phone was released before the iPhone and has even won an award for best design.
What do you think?

I might be in the market for the LG (I'm sure it would be cheaper.)
