Weekly Roundup: December 18th, 2010


The countdown to Christmas has begun. As of right now, I have all the little things set and about 1/2 of the major items done. Here are some great shopping ideas, whether you are still searching for the perfect gift, doing a little shopping for yourself, or saving your money for spring.

Julie Hewett, a Hollywood favorite, never misses. Check out The Non-Blonde to find out why Gaia is buying Julie's Hue Color Creams. I've never tried this brand before, but I see something taupey! You know I'll have to try it out very soon.

Kari's biggest makeup frustration is foundation. She was testing up a storm at Fab over Forty after reading makeup artist Pat McGrath's recommendations. The winners? Head over to see.

Giorgio Armani Beauty has a new eye shadow formula, Eyes to Kill. Three shades were introduced for holiday as a preview of what's to come, and Amy showed us at Café Makeup #15 - I love how it looks buffed out on her palm.

At Gouldylox Reviews, Kelly gave us the 411 on a Bare Escentuals steal. Shimmer and shine for the holidays - at a discount!

Charlestongirl got her hands on photos of Chantecaille's Sea Turtle Palette and new Hydra Chic lipsticks. See the gorgeous colors for spring - and find out how you can help save the "gentle giants" at Best Things in Beauty. Chantecaille has a way of creating some of the prettiest palettes. I can't wait for this one.

Jane demonstrated how she'll get her holiday glam with The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara from Maybelline. Head over to Daly Beauty to see her amazing before and after photos.

Kate Somerville, skin care guru, has a new miracle product. Find out from Carla at Product Girl why you are going to want Kate's CytoCell Dermal Energizing Treatment.

Many of us fret about our holiday hair styles. Kristin showed us how to maintain our curls for the party season. Ever heard of Miss Jessie? You'll be looking for her after reading BeautyXposé.

Debbi was also thinking about her holiday hair style as she tried a dry shampoo. Find out why she gave Oscar Blandi's Pronto Invisible Volumizing Dry Shampoo Spray a rave review at DivaDebbi.

Finally, I seem to have had a flood of Chanel discoveries with Liberté Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss, Baroque Rouge Coco, Berry Eyeliner and then the Spring 2011 collection. I'm particularly in love with Black Pearl Le Vernis. I've compared it to EIGHT different other brands and colors. Check out this past week's reviews if you haven't already. More details to come soon.

We'll be in touch before the official start of the holidays, but just in case you head off early, we wish you a happy, healthy, and safe holiday!
