Giorgio Armani at Saks May 5th


For you lucky New Yorkers, Giorgio Armani is appearing at Saks Fifth Avenue on May
5th- that would be tomorrow - from 2:30-4pm to preview his Bronze Mania 2008 Collection. Meet Signori Armani when you make an Armani cosmetics purchase. The Bronze Mania collection consists of pretty much what you would think a collection called Bronze Mania would be. Lots of beautiful bronzes and golds to give you that sun-kissed look, or if you prefer, a sun-drenched look - but without having to bake in the sun! I like the sound of the Summer Foundation. In the summer, it is suggested to add bronzer to your foundation for a warmer glow, but this product eliminates that step and blends the bronzer in for you. I wish there were more shade choices - there's only two, like a one-size-fits all - fair to medium complexions and then tanned to dark complexions, which for a fair-skinned girl like me, often times the fair to medium can still be slightly dark, but I like the idea of this foundation and would like to try it out. For those of you who don't need/like foundation but still want a bronze finish, there are the Bronze Mania Skin Tints, with four shade choices. Also in the collection are some lovely lip glosses, an eye shadow palette that includes bronzing powder, and mascara that seems to have a bronze shade, but the website doesn't give a color name, only a thumbnail of the color, but it looks like the model in the above picture may be wearing it, and it looks gorgoeus. A great finishing, if unexpected, touch to a bronzed face.

This collection looks amazing! I am tempted to slurge on the ochra mediterranean palette...I will be writing about this for sure! I haven't tried any Armani cosmetics though, are they any good?

I'll be honest and say, no, I haven't tried any of the Armani cosmetics (yet), but it's not due to lack of desire. It's just not available anywhere in my area, and I want to at least try it before I buy it. It's more expensive than other prestige/dept. store lines. But I have always heard really good things about the foundation, and I do want to try that, as I do not have flawless skin, or even in the ballpark, so I am always looking for a great foundation.

Get Yourself Screened!!

Yeah, I don't have skin cancer! I had my annual full-body check today with the dermatologist, and I had a few spots I was concerned with, but the dr. gave me a clean bill of health. Whew. But I am one of the lucky ones. I read so many articles these days about skin cancer, and since I had so many sunburns as a young girl, I'm nervous about something developing. Read these facts from Olay , who has teamed up with the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery to sponsor free screenings across the country: Did you know... One person dies every hour from skin cancer. One in five Americans will develop skin cancer. Skin cancer in women under 40 has tripled in the past 30 years. Five sunburns double a woman's chance of getting skin cancer. UV exposure at tanning salons is just as risky as sunbathing outside. People with fair skin that burns rather than tans, people with red hair and people with blue eyes are at greater risk of developing skin cancer. People who have many (extens...

DOVE Giveaway!!!

On May 1st, I wrote about the new DOVE Ultimately Visibly Smooth Wild Rose Anti-Perspiring/Deodorant (click here to read). Well, it's been almost 8 weeks since I started using it, and I'm happy to say that overall I'm really pleased with this new deodorant. It has made the hair softer and, surprisingly, I did notice that my underarms do look better and smoother. I've always had issues with that, because as someone who is pale but has dark hair, even when freshly shaven my underarms still didn't look quite hair-free (this was particularly angst-inspiring during my teenage years). But the other day I noticed my underarms looked really good and didn't have the pit-version of the five o'clock shadow going on. Yay! DOVE wanted to give you the chance to try this new product (if you haven't already!) and is going to give 2 lucky readers a full-size DOVE Ultimately Smooth Wild-Rose Anti-Perspirant/Deodorant , along with coupons for $2 off future purchases of U...
