I love my spring collection of lip glosses, light and sheer or drenched with color. But my new favorite lip makeup right now is my Line Stylist Lipliner by Maybelline.
For a long time my favorite eye liner was a Line Stylist. It’s time to get a new one, or two, as I used it so much it’s just about gone.
What makes these liners so great is the fine, precision line they make. The twist-up mechanism makes the liners self-sharpening and you get a very thin and easy-to-control tip.
The lipliner has a slanted tip for better application. It’s also enriched with Vitamin E so it glides on smooth and creamy and of course, prevents feathering and bleeding of your lip color. For lipstick I would line only the outer line of lips but for glosses, apply over the entire lip to make a base that will extend the wear time of the gloss.

Spring is here and as the weather warms it’s time for feet to come out and be seen in flip-flops, sandals and sexy slings. If you haven’t been kind to your feet all winter, now’s the time to get them in super shape with an invigorating scrub.
You’d be surprised at the number of scrubs on the market that are specifically for feet. A good number of them contain menthol or peppermint, which leave the feet feeling fresh and renewed. But there are other options available as well.
A scrub will exfoliate dead and dry skin, leaving the feet smooth. Nothing looks worse than flaky, dry heels and in sandals your feet are on display. Soak feet in warm water, then massage the scrub all over feet. Rinse with warm water. Follow up with a lightly scented moisturizing lotion and your feet will feel brand-new.

Is it just me, or do these bags bear a striking resemblance to the current “bra purse” fad?

Spring weather is unpredictable. That sunny, dry morning can turn into a misty, wet afternoon. My straight-as-a-board hairstyle doesn’t fare well when the moisture content of the air goes up, and it’s days like this that I wish I could bring my hair dryer, styling brush and straightening iron along for touch-ups.
In search of portable products, I came across the inFiniTi hairstyler by Conair.
This little all-in-one comes with everything you need to style hair quickly and with only one tool. Equipped with detangling combs and a 3 heat setting airflow from its 700 watt motor, it combs, styles and/or pre-dries hair for straightening. The straightening attachment has four tension settings for perfect control and the plates are Tourmaline Ceramic, so they’re gentle to hair. Ion output helps control frizzies for silkier, shinier hair. Finish up with the cool setting to lock in your style and you are ready to go.
At $59.99 this product is a bargain, considering all the tools it replaces. Now, if they only made a cordless version…
