Man, that is a good lipstick! Not only was the color ultra flattering, but it stayed on all day. I have about 9 tubes of Prescriptives that run the gamut from fuschia to coral to burgundy and pink, and I'm going to start using them. A lot of lipsticks are too creamy and they slide right off your lips or start feathering around the lipline. I have not experienced that at all with this lipstick and I've worn it almost every day for a week. They no longer carry the lipstick in the colors I have because they've renamed them all, so I can't really recommend any colors to you. That is kind of personal anyway. Have fun finding one that works for you!productjunkie4.0http://www.blogger.com/profile/08173779598476404537noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967231475579812362.post-13340092467500963792009-12-07T17:11:00.000-08:002009-12-07T17:31:16.158-08:00SUPER SHOPPING SECRET #16Acrylic pendants $24<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhblkBaDhI-ORb9HdgjraOEmBaWYUvjfqq7epBJvoIDfovkMGuXhbdMDWa9uHJ1jyYCb17g0S-VPP3lw-yE9Mg2orzAFIuUgbdFMicr3eo5nxC0Mo4RIZMjFozN3m-3-oap3ln8MbiTWzI/s1600-h/acrylic+pendants.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhblkBaDhI-ORb9HdgjraOEmBaWYUvjfqq7epBJvoIDfovkMGuXhbdMDWa9uHJ1jyYCb17g0S-VPP3lw-yE9Mg2orzAFIuUgbdFMicr3eo5nxC0Mo4RIZMjFozN3m-3-oap3ln8MbiTWzI/s320/acrylic+pendants.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5412667708680383378" /></a><br />Shop for fun jewelry at www.alltherageonline.com. There is a wide variety of styles available, and while some of it may not be your taste, you should be able to find a good bit of things to your liking. They have many unique and creative pieces of costume jewelry. I wouldn't make any guarantees that any of this will last you a lifetime, but if you are looking for some affordable accessories that will add some character to your outfit, then this is the place to shop. Through January 1st, they are offering 50% off all orders $15 and over and free shipping for orders over $75.

Maybe I'm showing my age, but these new bootie shoes (or "shooties") are just not my thing. Especially now that they are being worn with dresses. You see them in all the fashion magazines, but this is one trend I will not be following.

SUBSCRIBE! SUBSCRIBE!<br />This is my advice: Think of every single store you love to shop at, and every single restaurant you like to eat at and subscribe to their website. I can't tell you how much you will benefit from this! Today being "Cyber Monday" I got more offers in my inbox than I could possible shop in a day. Here are just some of today's offers:<br /><br />Ann Taylor - 40% off entire purchase plus free shipping on $100 or more.<br />Cole Haan - 40% off a single full-priced item or 30% off all sale items plus free shipping & returns.<br />Smashbox.com - 20% off your entire order plus free shipping.<br />Ralph Lauren - 25% off your entire purchase<br />Benefitcosmetics.com - Free Shipping plus free samples with every order.<br />Bobbibrown.com - 20% off your order plus free shipping on $65 or more plus free gift wrap.<br />Piperlime - 20% off and free shipping.<br />Ann Taylor Loft - 30% off entire order plus free shipping on $100 or more.<br />Banana Republic - 20% off<br />Old Navy - 20% off plus free shipping on any purchase<br />Anne Klein - 30% off sale merchandise and regular priced shoes plus free shipping<br />Gap - 20% off plus free shipping on any purchase<br />Naturalizer - 20% off plus free shipping<br />Kate Spade - %25% off plus free shipping<br />Henri Bendel - 30% off plus free shipping<br />Bath & Body Works - 25% off entire order<br /><br />And if you subscribe, you are better apprised of sweepstakes and other contests you can enter. I highly recommend doing this. I won a $500 shopping spree from Bluefly and a $100 Express gift card from Lucky Magazine. I also receive many coupons and free offers on my birthday. Every year I get a $20 gift card from Pappa's Steakhouse, and last year I received a free ice cream from Ben & Jerrys, a free dessert at Lubys, and a free beauty product at Ulta among other things.<br /><br />So get on that computer and start subscribing!!!productjunkie4.0http://www.blogger.com/profile/08173779598476404537noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967231475579812362.post-63396485386999847582009-11-23T19:54:00.000-08:002009-11-23T20:14:35.416-08:00SUPER SHOPPING SECRET #14<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho2OUOeOobzd5uuN5Voveb0tRjpZmiMpgG5gtB1H4e_Jwjg3kiRpw4uQnQj7TTA-oFehVgoKtsTyBCCY67OlRNkvKy847UVTV5TMtIXxmbORtxSzc6C5X0H4D4JOV1H2OG3RkNYJA56og/s1600/MyPerfectSale_logo.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 59px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho2OUOeOobzd5uuN5Voveb0tRjpZmiMpgG5gtB1H4e_Jwjg3kiRpw4uQnQj7TTA-oFehVgoKtsTyBCCY67OlRNkvKy847UVTV5TMtIXxmbORtxSzc6C5X0H4D4JOV1H2OG3RkNYJA56og/s320/MyPerfectSale_logo.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407518695369944466" /></a><br />This week's Super Shopping Secret is www.myperfectsale.com.

I love it, but to be honest I hardly ever have time to look at all the wonderful things on my personal sale e-mail because it is so comprehensive. They shop stores like Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and Macys, as well as smaller, lesser known shops. They also shop sites like YOOX, Zappos, and Overstock. They offer everything from Michael Kors, Juicy Couture and Kate Spade to Dior, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana and Prada. Once you open your sale of the day, you may sort your items by price, by designer, by store or even by the percentage off.

I'm a major fan and consumer on Altoids, as many people are. (Cinnamon is my favorite!) Here are just a few ways you can use these little tins for storage. Great idea for when you are traveling or just for everyday! And this can be your small contribution to "going green!<br /><br />1. Jewelry - necklaces that don't tangle too easily or multiple pairs of earrings. Great idea for travelers.<br /><br />2. Aspirin - Instead of paying an inflated price for the travel size bottles, just pour some in a tin.<br /><br />3. Hair Accessories - Hair bands, bobby pins, small barretts or clips. I'm always digging for them in my purse.<br /><br />4. Sewing kit - buttons, thread, needle, safety pins<br /><br />5. Ipod earphones<br /><br />6. Almonds. Tis is my favorite idea. I read that an Altoid tin holds exactly a single serving of almonds. Great healthy snack when you're on the go.<br /><br />Other things you could store in the tins are bandaids, throat lozenges, and loose change (if you can stand the noise!) The possibilities are endless!

Microdermabrasion is an exfoliation procedure that is achieved by spraying microcrystals across the surface of the skin. It is supposed to leave the skin glowing, improve the texture of coarse skin, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and large pores. I went because a friend of mine had it done and raved about it. I decided to give it a try. I went to a well known spa in the area for numerous visits. Each time, all of my makeup was removed and a headband was put on my hair to keep it out of the way. The crystals shoot out of a wand or pen-like device at very high power. I was surprised at how uncomfortable it was. It felt like someone was scratching the skin off my face! Am I bleeding? Is it supposed to feel like this? I was assured that everything was okay. The technician said some clients compare the feeling to being licked by a cat's tongue. Really? It felt more like someone was rubbing my face on a cheese grater! I bore through it and held out hope I would go home with a smooth, glowing complexion. Well, the glow eluded me. I went home looking, and feeling, like I had a sunburn. Next day - sunburn effect still there. People at the office are looking at me funny. The next day, somewhat back to normal. I think I went once every 2 weeks for about 5 appointments. The bad thing was that with each appointment she increased the pressure of the spray. My face started to break out in between visits and eventually started weeping from too much abrasion. I told the technician and she didn't seem too concerned. I quit going. As I researched this topic on the internet for this blog article I read on spas.about.com: "Microdermabrasion is not recommended for sensitive skin, skin that easily reddens, or skin with acne breakouts." Well, hello! I meet all three of those criteria! So needless to say, I will not be going back for microdermabrasion treatments and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with sensitive skin or thin skin. I know there are a lot of people out there who have had great experiences with microdermabrasion, but it is definitely not for everybody.productjunkie4.0http://www.blogger.com/profile/08173779598476404537noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967231475579812362.post-47777921317318580792009-11-11T17:29:00.001-08:002009-11-11T17:52:32.195-08:00Lunch Hour Shopping<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE9T0Ozf6PLOwl7sOYYuYltvWC_RjrgthmeVvIlzIyG7NV6XxRfNNDf4QozfImOcQnHw76MM6pWSIQLP5IIebBqOyACGHz7M3jDIXnm09tWLC6oes29I2qSYaktWXn7GNC6FSj-U7irlY/s1600-h/rock+%26+republic+005.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE9T0Ozf6PLOwl7sOYYuYltvWC_RjrgthmeVvIlzIyG7NV6XxRfNNDf4QozfImOcQnHw76MM6pWSIQLP5IIebBqOyACGHz7M3jDIXnm09tWLC6oes29I2qSYaktWXn7GNC6FSj-U7irlY/s320/rock+%26+republic+005.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403025871616654722" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6WDZ-ZgXTFwXmlKj9TV3trqNiG58cspONNdLLL4Ovf4aWoqCn_bYbBBZ8MXzQV0PxHWVtrjorNQtPgf4Xk_gqUXYMp2qeNreixo8-lfMnc2GmZ6LF7EhyoVjq6BUgSVTRnwCETTVfEAU/s1600-h/blog+046.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6WDZ-ZgXTFwXmlKj9TV3trqNiG58cspONNdLLL4Ovf4aWoqCn_bYbBBZ8MXzQV0PxHWVtrjorNQtPgf4Xk_gqUXYMp2qeNreixo8-lfMnc2GmZ6LF7EhyoVjq6BUgSVTRnwCETTVfEAU/s320/blog+046.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403025878632818562" /></a><br />So the other day I wore some shoes to work that I thought would be comfy but turned out not to be comfy at all. So on my lunch hour I went on a quick search for some comfy flats. The only shoe store in the vicinity was a Shoe Carnival. So I went in and found these cute black Eurosoft flats and since they were having a BOGO sale I bought a pair in muted gold too. Shoe emergency solved, I ran over to Icing in search of some earrings which I didn't find, but I did find this cute hair clip which also has a pin on the back so you can wear it as an accessory on a jacket. I love it. It's got a few feather mixed in with the lace rose. Very pretty.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-lJDQwy4Egj65CjaMDP_oyo8OdIF_5urf1bgLoSlwh9dTmlW-JSC_fuaKWnlHrwjgsxggOcPvX8yEUwBxqAm4SMx_GQYi8Gpv3HiEp_eUGHwI6bLx1bujFFNLI6olhPzOeyqV0gM7_CE/s1600-h/blog+044.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-lJDQwy4Egj65CjaMDP_oyo8OdIF_5urf1bgLoSlwh9dTmlW-JSC_fuaKWnlHrwjgsxggOcPvX8yEUwBxqAm4SMx_GQYi8Gpv3HiEp_eUGHwI6bLx1bujFFNLI6olhPzOeyqV0gM7_CE/s320/blog+044.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403025884889211026" /></a>productjunkie4.0http://www.blogger.com/profile/08173779598476404537noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967231475579812362.post-86074027819616912462009-11-10T05:55:00.001-08:002009-11-10T05:55:15.428-08:00Bluefly 30 Bags in 30 Days<script type="text/javascript" src="http://widgets.clearspring.com/o/4aafe0df76c51842/4af970c182522e25/4aaffca4ffb93367/c5e45d50/widget.js"></script>productjunkie4.0http://www.blogger.com/profile/08173779598476404537noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967231475579812362.post-54607663034926410722009-11-09T10:54:00.000-08:002009-11-09T10:54:06.322-08:00SUPER SHOPPING SECRET #12Today's blog article will be short and sweet but very useful.

I mean, how stunning is this picture? When I saw this ad, I just had to go online and see what other delicacies Mr. Lauren had to offer. Ralph Lauren's Fall collection is equestrian chic of course, with a little country and a little preppy thrown into the mix. His clothes are very versatile. They can be dressy or casual. I love all the leather in this collection. There are these stunning black leather pants featured in the ad, but there are also leather accents on sweaters and riding pants that just really add such a richness to the collection. I also love the color combinations of red and black and camel and brown. There are some great plaid shirts in this collection too. And can we talk about the Ricky bag? I mean, how fabulous is this thing? The one pictured here is almost $17,000! There are other Ricky bags in the low $3,000s but nevertheless, I won't be owning one in my lifetime. In the words of Gwen Stefani: "If I were a rich girl, na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na."<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My favorite shampoo of the moment is Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk Shampoo. I picked this up primarily because I love the smell of coconut, but I had also read about this shampoo in Lucky magazine where a fellow coconut lover raved about its true coconut scent. I am always in need of a very nourishing shampoo, and this one includes organic coconut milk, whipped egg white proteins and coconut oils. It is safe for color treated hair and is sulfate and paraben free. The product is not tested on animals and the bottle it comes in is eco-friendly. I love this shampoo! I have been using it in conjunction with Neutrogena Triple Moisture Daily Deep Conditioner which I wrote about in a previous blog. In the last 8 weeks, I could tell that I had a lot less damage to my ends in between haircuts. That is enough reason in itself to keep me coming back for more. The best news of all is that you can purchase it at Walmart for less than $6 a bottle! I have spent 3 times that much on salon shampoos that didn't work nearly as well. Now I'm curious about the other Organix formulas. They have Pomegranate, Shea Butter, and other formulas that sound very nourishing, as well as conditioner and hair styling products. <br />

I just found this site last week and I think it's a lot of fun. When you go to the site they will give you a series of 2 celeb fashion photos side by side. You pick the one you like best from each set. When you are done they will give you the results of your style analysis based on the choices you made. I was absolutely amazed that they hit the nail right on the head with me. My main style is "Classic Preppy" with a mix of Classic Minimalist and Classic Professional. Once they have identified your style, then they will show a list of stores you probably shop at. My best stores are Ann Taylor, Ellen Tracy, J. Crew and Eddie Bauer. Again, mine were right on the money. Then they let you choose via photos what kind of colors you like and don't like, what kind of shoes you like and don't like, what kind of clothes, etc. Based on all this data they will send you a daily e-mail of items on sale that fit your criteria. Below each sale item in your e-mail is a red heart or a broken heart. If you hate something they put in your e-mail, then click on the broken heart. If you love it, click on the red heart. This helps the site continue to tailor your e-mails to fit your preferences. This site is reminiscent of <a href="http://www.shopittome.com/">http://www.shopittome.com/</a> which was a previous Super Shopping Secret. The difference is that covet.com is more personal. While shopittome.com lets you choose the brands you like and sends you daily e-mails, they do not do a style analysis to personalize those items. Please check out this site and have fun! Let me know your thoughts. It would be fun if you would put in the comments section what your style turned out to be!productjunkie4.0http://www.blogger.com/profile/08173779598476404537noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967231475579812362.post-65934748589623192302009-10-29T16:07:00.000-07:002009-10-29T16:31:47.658-07:00ORGANIZING JEWELRYI started running out of room to store my jewelry, which sent me on a problem-solving quest and led me to write about it. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398162794275295490" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiV0SNDU-EDJ6sRh_BekxsrZlXc0HyuSSDmzTMNNiETk43HzZXvOdHJ_K3xOeqTjJxxFvnsFmAvqYc5Erzen1TyqWnjqofkVPUbTZIuGU4bMbnGTPSl6UBFxb_IPU_upeBCYDm-3jxWgXA/s320/blog+023.jpg" />This is my jewelry cabinet. The wings on the side open up to allow me to hang my necklaces, but there are only 8 hooks total which required me to hang multiple necklaces on each hook, which in turn resulted in monstrous tangles. I don't know about you, but when I'm getting ready in the morning, I'm always running out the door at the last minute and I don't have time to untangle necklaces! So I told my husband to take to The Container Store so I could find something that best suited my needs. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398163968393881154" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi27K_FNp7Uz_KIBn9vTCZyeuHGoRI2r5BJkIUZ2m4SkqBxvCVVfXB1pptXp8PvFBON2nl2U53dkMbJzfAMC_XlUEmKzkt10L0I4uWKZ2wYJ3786zvS-emYCQ6mIhhyZu8Nl48qlTM65Os/s320/DSCF0002.JPG" />I ended up going with a basic tie rack which he installed on the back of my closet door. I was able to hang 25 necklaces on it without having to double, triple and quadruple stack them. What a relief! I think this is going to work out quite nicely! I decided to use the tie rack to hang my large costume jewelry so I can still use my jewelry cabinet for my more dainty necklaces. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398162798399712802" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJqye6FqqC1kB3WG9C-YychAooKIUAcgCEYZDyw18w5EeJ67X9b6g4ovUUstjigZArCLyTa-LYcfVI9hUCWMQYSfVQLN4dO_tpkaTgA0tzhYIJTR4J5TT37ZLu9K0Mlp68dLKDwYMSw2A/s320/blog+022.jpg" />I keep my earrings on a shelf in these divided trays. One tray is for silver, the other for gold. It just helps keep things moving quickly in the morning. I also keep my scarves folded on a shelf in my jewelry cabinet. They are just large fabric necklaces after all!productjunkie4.0http://www.blogger.com/profile/08173779598476404537noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967231475579812362.post-68864656069665710882009-10-28T19:08:00.000-07:002009-10-28T19:25:29.432-07:00WINTER CLEANSING & FOUNDATION ROUTINE<div>Now that the weather is getting a little colder and the wind is starting to blow, it is time to change your cleansing and foundation routine to protect your skin. While I typically use mild products because of a sensitive, fair complexion, I go even milder with my cleanser and start using a moisturizer every day. I usually use <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Clinique</span> Liquid Facial Soap in Mild. But I've just switched over to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Eucerin</span> Sensitive Skin Gentle Hydrating Cleanser. At night, I cleanse then use my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Clinique</span> Clarifying Lotion 2 and go to bed. In the morning I cleanse, use the Clarifying Lotion then use a little <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Clinique</span> Moisture Surge before I apply my foundation. I let it sink in a little first. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397841223016507682" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXWFJVfVoAnMIeLtA763xq6hDSaWBiwnmo_h4s5t0WSPolSoBb_0hweAbr9KVm66rSAftkeCJ2XJfgozoilEDvXxcLO6fuL4L2nl69-PM3jtNh23zko5yusJoQTDIdsXRbAzOPHFMsaPk/s320/blog+045.jpg" /> <div></div><div>As far as foundation goes, everyone knows I love my discontinued <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Loreal</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Quickstick</span> and will go to the ends of the earth to find it online. But for Winter, I'm switching to a combo of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">Lorac</span> Oil Free Neutralizer and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Clinique</span> Almost Makeup <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">Teint</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">Naturel</span> in Parfait. The Neutralizer is VERY light and is not ideal to wear alone unless you are extremely, and I mean extremely pale. It is meant to cancel out any redness on your face and even out your skin. When you combine it with another liquid foundation it comes out really well. This combo gives a pretty flawless and luminescent look. With the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">Quickstick</span>, I use a foundation brush to blend, but I've found with this liquid combination that a sponge works a lot better.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397841220131369666" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEho-eL1fqjF034KX-nh6GB2vHksrQvXZrplQ8lWLlR8es1S7g4j11RzpNKFH2sjXEWm9kJYnWSBuiAUcolBfth_-qLF_c4V_NOEqYd6kfocDNLhS4x8R4IIuscTZB_nGPkfbcJrIbe4_ss/s320/blog+042.jpg" /></div></div>productjunkie4.0http://www.blogger.com/profile/08173779598476404537noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967231475579812362.post-64359210822491231012009-10-27T18:12:00.000-07:002009-10-28T19:26:26.719-07:00CHICAGO STYLEI just returned from a trip to Chicago last Saturday. As a matter of fact, I still haven't unpacked. I think I'm in denial because I didn't want to leave in the first place. What a beautiful city. I love it so much I've decided I want to move there! Everyone says, "You wouldn't last one Winter." Well, being from Texas, they're probably right. But I can dream.<br /><br />So I thought I would write a little bit about a few trends I noticed while I was there.<br /><br /><strong>#1 - Urban Style Flat Black Knee High Boots</strong>. I must have seen these a million times! These are Naturalizer's "Jadis" boot. I saw this or some variation thereof all over the place. It makes sense in a large city where you have to do a lot of walking. They are very comfortable, have a very urban style and were worn most often with jeans tucked in them. I love these!<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 140px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 140px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397453014140709826" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieYbETAQVm02WvAsvje2UziKFIdAdKoJBeFsHoJR7-kViBUuC4o2aZ-2Rlr3Aw-xD8cWGretvtDFtZfmj21Dqoi6whHHTju8E_lJWaBsOH_mrPc-5GKiwuuW5K-x7ccaO5BXtd-oaFPwE/s320/naturalizer+jadis+boot.jpg" /><br /><strong>#2 - Wellies/Rubber Boots/Rain Boots</strong>. These are all the rage now. You can find them in a multitude of patterns and colors. In Chicago, I only saw them in black. Again, comfortable yet stylish and style born out of necessity. The weather report said it had rained 27 out of the last 32 days! So although these are a current fashion trend, they are very functional. These are by Hunter.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397453020981684738" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8yID3e6gAlcXcOgTT4iUvsdGOoPGGFmtEJEDrtoGfN830rfGTbXbdmSBagDPbCNl5BebiXWywUpE0gSw8SSuSq_WoaL6wKpPB1k-gU3MIRVzz6KEVjFVS_Ar9PdnUH_xtpkdf1iVIcto/s320/wellies+by+hunter.jpg" /><strong>#3 - Scarves</strong>. Scarves again are a definite necessity in such a cold climate. In Chicago I mostly saw large patterns like this in neutral colors. This one is by Juicy Couture.<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397453024248933394" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeEr-uZoOCpbp4HjhVUWY9klRlS8N0VZO9ADIdW8GR4mpVo-oAEK2sUV4QZp6zoWFHhiXd4uqGK5Tsv1lxx3iurOtvjPh1_Ni2KPfRCnCj8JtG9_cQ74z7eQEQN-gRmqXP_M6Nq66caH4/s320/scarf+-+juicy+couture.jpg" /><br /><strong>#4 - North Face Outerwear</strong>. I saw a girl in Starbucks wearing this coat in particular. And while it looks like something an Eskimo might wear, it looked really great on her. She wore it with jeans tucked into boots similar to the ones I posted above and with a scarf. I don't think her coat had a hood or else it was down. Great look for someone tall and slim. Everyone else runs the risk of looking like the Michelin Man. Unfortunately, I could never wear this in Texas without dying of heat stroke!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKMcXf1OhFHG5UM-5ZoWm3JyWzvnGsLM0uYvOCzudWT4SCpdp-34rO5O3XUTjlhn5ig-CllWvIHWEjD3qs68GNfhMrq14cdweS-6uLrnqpkF_sAED4MOrc7svPJeDm2uAvH5dkEezu0Oc/s1600-h/north+face+coat.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 201px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 201px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397453028594657602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKMcXf1OhFHG5UM-5ZoWm3JyWzvnGsLM0uYvOCzudWT4SCpdp-34rO5O3XUTjlhn5ig-CllWvIHWEjD3qs68GNfhMrq14cdweS-6uLrnqpkF_sAED4MOrc7svPJeDm2uAvH5dkEezu0Oc/s320/north+face+coat.jpg" /></a>productjunkie4.0http://www.blogger.com/profile/08173779598476404537noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967231475579812362.post-15597002165605891242009-10-26T15:57:00.001-07:002009-10-26T16:28:15.845-07:00SUPER SHOPPING SECRET #10 - People Style Watch Magazine<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 247px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397050677582911218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVESB0NxmwOUljjE7hcXD5YXrVE4fsNqIlZTlRGoPibv49PHMHf-f3A4FdWEyYoUN6dCsLvyUunRKSEd_cTGPcd91F2KAWFHZki6N2ybNb3WLolsydH3C9kdwueTU4l_OiM6eqRHejqSI/s320/People+Stylewatch+Cover.BMP" /> <div>This week's Super Shopping Secret is People Stylewatch Magazine. This is my absolute favorite shopping magazine! While the outfits featured in Lucky Magazine tend to be a little more young and edgy ala Mary Kate Olsen, the clothes in Stylewatch tend to be more polished and sophisticated. I love that every single item is labeled as to the cost and where it may be purchased. They do not have as many giveaways as Lucky Magazine does, but they do have a solid page full as well as a solid page of discount offers and a few sweepstakes you can enter here and there. <div><div><div><div> </div><div>This month's issue featured articles on "Need to Know Websites" - many of which I had posted on my blog in the past as Super Shopping Secrets. They also feature beauty bargains and styling tips. And I love the section where they show you how to do popular celebrity looks for less. I think you will love this magazine. It is very useful to someone who is a serious shopper but wants to shop smart. Individual issues are $3.99, but I think you can get a subscription for $1.99 per issue.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 247px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397050696714512674" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUDmwz5Fl4XX62BMVlaCMtsK-8ExYOl0syVithe-aBWMqgKyJEhh38o1uENNU4EeVU14DUxj1odSLGNsJrggBCsMks990PJy9YgWyT2PiPTDUv3Gh63W7GzshGKdnNg2mDyJE7MKyepq4/s320/People+Stylewatch+Bags.BMP" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 247px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397050692096634402" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOpdJW7yO0Q-tomZVEz_ZvJPJUbnbGnVFMfzkLFQyTTrsD9S3V0U813P2t2NImpEtyMXc7wPGZHt57gplHJrW3eHiVJB5NqZUh78C54_A7DPH14_o8WUqwxSsN6ku887kanjaanGQSyiM/s320/People+Stylewatch+Giveaways.BMP" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 247px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397050688496756290" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFjihD5E5dKjDds6WzVGTiHsDz2Bpv0Aww0FecYrioj55Ag61kB-AoJQDaMP_NPqSGUpnF-DPwxukOARSftsDzVo_uu2bHdDXirSyB-p3P_2HrWh2S8m58n9zrQczt7uTvelN1B6HM4as/s320/People+Stylewatch+Discounts.BMP" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 247px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397050685854674786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuedNACgBni1bZKVs4OOx49jitgA0_4Ms3dX_YssCuRaaw_mD7K_PBITBTU-PT4LncyaKMna4_IUuoJwK0KuSqVIhQ-w5upcleEVBbyWUbqKLBvTDSj9jVuK_mynyL87XPwvF5VFigtlg/s320/People+Stylewatch.BMP" /></div></div></div></div></div>productjunkie4.0http://www.blogger.com/profile/08173779598476404537noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967231475579812362.post-18863493373902281912009-10-22T06:30:00.000-07:002009-10-22T06:30:01.297-07:00UNDER EYE CIRCLES<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaLzqrR4M62jHgvYDjRAm5JXESiu2ZbH9n2eOJzyY1TlM0yC4-gFaJsOo2YQvO_DwHSNilIBRhLw9hIUxaESyzUYHDLq5s7YzWviuWdboiqG9TvVPfIS1ARamS1RXk_Rcc0PsPoFHC0h0/s1600-h/baking+pan+010.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394097635533716418" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaLzqrR4M62jHgvYDjRAm5JXESiu2ZbH9n2eOJzyY1TlM0yC4-gFaJsOo2YQvO_DwHSNilIBRhLw9hIUxaESyzUYHDLq5s7YzWviuWdboiqG9TvVPfIS1ARamS1RXk_Rcc0PsPoFHC0h0/s320/baking+pan+010.jpg" /></a> A couple of people have asked me about under-eye circles so I thought it was finally time to address it. I did some internet research and this is what I found. A holistic approach would recommend 3 servings of cruciferous vegetables per week. One site I came across recommended encorporating cruciferous veggies daily. So girls, start eating your salads! Here are some of the specific veggies that were recommended, preferably raw of course: cabbage, spinach, leafy greens, and broccoli. Also recommended were avocado, kiwi, oranges, and grapefruit. The key vitamin I kept coming across was vitamin K. Other vitamins recommended were C, B, E, A, Lutein, Betacartene, Zinc and Fish Oil. Vitamins C & E were also recommended topically.<br /><br />The product I've probably heard most about for undereye circles is Hylexin. Unfortuntately a small tube is $95 at Sephora. But if you read the reviews, people rave about it. People also rave about StriVectin-SD which started out as a stretch mark cream until people discovered that it also worked miracles in the way of wrinkles and undereye circles. StriVectin-SD Eye Cream is $59 at Sephora. The good news is that a church friend of mine found a copycat version at Walgreens called ProVectin Plus. It is an "Advanced Eye Cream for deep wrinkles and dark circles." An employee at Walgreens actually recommended it to her and it costs only $19.99. I've tried it and I have to say that while I don't suffer terribly from under-eye circles I could definitely tell a difference after just one night just as the product claims. The other good news is that it is Hypoallergenic and fragrance free. If you try it, let me know how it worked out for you.productjunkie4.0http://www.blogger.com/profile/08173779598476404537noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967231475579812362.post-43496871800582529242009-10-21T06:30:00.000-07:002009-10-21T06:30:00.786-07:00NYX<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZl8T5HDrjvonaYIdA69m2Sl3pLQaMpnFNVlDEoi2cyOQNdhNFboBXChZm2Uiv7avEi8mAgc_wBS74ohmw_vKbr2UOJ5VglWL2uT84UTGOwOnPW7OAzyt5NaV5XzBRscCkMxItipVGJZo/s1600-h/for+my+blog+013.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394085471928858498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZl8T5HDrjvonaYIdA69m2Sl3pLQaMpnFNVlDEoi2cyOQNdhNFboBXChZm2Uiv7avEi8mAgc_wBS74ohmw_vKbr2UOJ5VglWL2uT84UTGOwOnPW7OAzyt5NaV5XzBRscCkMxItipVGJZo/s320/for+my+blog+013.jpg" /></a> <div>I love this lipstick! I had never purchased <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">NYX</span> before, but on my last <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Ulta</span> excursion I picked up this perfect pink lipstick. It's called Tea Rose #628. What I love about it is that it isn't too pale and it isn't too <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">garish</span>. It's just the perfect soft light rose color. It looks great with a smoky or strong eye or with a daytime makeup. The gloss is great too. It's a nice frosty pink that's pretty enough to be worn by itself. The color is called "French Kiss." And the best part of all is that it's cheap!</div><div> </div><div>Disclaimer: Please note that I purchased this lipstick prior to my declaration of a lipstick purchasing strike; therefore this purchase may not be held against me. :)</div>productjunkie4.0http://www.blogger.com/profile/08173779598476404537noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967231475579812362.post-64276020760948694712009-10-20T06:30:00.000-07:002009-10-20T06:30:00.443-07:00EMERGENCY DESK SUPPLIES!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_T8RyTNukpIqXjXUY-CEoQ6gxPVgWMfNRojxPFk-7ghWn1_C-S5fly0SztwPu915i2eGXkdBlEiEq1kdU4KUUIfG65dL8tvoA5ENl475I5GiiZ5XvMWrJdM8SxbWs-L5LyZWAHJ5mROk/s1600-h/blog+004.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394081212288159218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_T8RyTNukpIqXjXUY-CEoQ6gxPVgWMfNRojxPFk-7ghWn1_C-S5fly0SztwPu915i2eGXkdBlEiEq1kdU4KUUIfG65dL8tvoA5ENl475I5GiiZ5XvMWrJdM8SxbWs-L5LyZWAHJ5mROk/s320/blog+004.jpg" /></a>I thought I would share with everyone what I keep in my desk at work in the way of personal emergency supplies. I've written before about my little nail polish remover towelettes. Those are a must. I actually used one at work about a week ago. I keep nail clippers and a finger nail file in case of snags or broken nails. I keep cough drops just in case of a dry, scratchy or sore throat. I would keep aspirin, but my office keeps that stocked in a medicine drawer along with antacids, etc. I keep extra napkins in my drawer in case of spills or eating lunch at my desk. I also keep a Tide-to-Go Pen or Shout Wipes in case I spill something on my clothes. One time I spilled about half of a Starbucks Mocha all over my khaki pants. Out came the Tide To Go pen and about half an hour later when it all dried you couldn't even tell I had spilled anything. I was sold. And yes, I do keep chocolate in my desk in case of a chocolate emergency! Those are really serious!!! I also keep a travel toothbrush, toothpaste, and dental floss. Last week I had a dentist appointment after work and when I pulled out my dental supplies it kind of inspired me to share this info with you. So now I would like to know: What you keep in your desk at work?productjunkie4.0http://www.blogger.com/profile/08173779598476404537noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4967231475579812362.post-10274208820021075272009-10-19T06:30:00.000-07:002009-10-19T06:30:00.597-07:00SUPER SHOPPING SECRET #9<div><div><div><div>This week's Super Shopping Secret is <a href="http://www.sparklesforever.com/">http://www.sparklesforever.com/</a>.
