Snapped: LA Entourage Premiere

ENTOURAGE  premiered last night at the Regency Village in Westwood, CA. The carpet was filled with celebs from the stars of the highly anticipated movie to T.I. and Tiny.

My Matches!

I have typically avoided using concealers and foundations for as long as I have been wearing makeup. I was never quite sure how to apply them plus, after meeting so many women who were wearing the wrong shades in these products, I decided to stand clear. But of late, I have been professionally matched by MUAs! Below are my faves:
I am in LOVE with this product! It was introduced to me at a recent Revlon event. If only I could apply it as the makeup artist did. I looked like a celebrity!

Like most women I know, when SheaMoisture came out with its own line of cosmetics, I rejoiced. Their CC cream is light, and blends perfectly into my skin! 
SheaMoisture Medium CC Cream SPF 15

This was the first concealer I ever tried. It was a great match for my skin and contrary to how I thought it would be, judging by how I'd seen other women wear concealer, it didn't make me look overly made up! This is a great product for concealer beginners.

Not So Dirty 30: The Roomie Shuffle

It looks like I am losing yet another roommate. She can't take the heat...literally.

"How can you live like this?" she asked. "It's so hot!" she was sprawled out across her air mattress with a straw hat over her face. Once she moves out, this will be my 5th roomie since I graduated college. At 30, aren't I a little long in the tooth for the roommate shuffle?

You would think I would be used to it after my early days at Hell House with A and C. C was a chronic pot smoker that became a good friend. But A ran men in and out of our house like we were running a motel! Then I moved into my current place with B, who would skip out on the lease, owing me nearly $1000.  D would move in a year later only to move back to NYC after not finding a job and now there is E that is bouncing because my apartment is too hot.

I don't want to go through this again-  online ad postings and potential roomie interviews. It is exhausting and stressful, needing a roomie to help pay your rent while crossing your fingers that she won't kill you!

Wish me luck.

Review: Outer Spice

I have high blood pressure which stinks! I have to take meds and avoid as much salt as possible. This is not only difficult, but it also make making well-seasoned food a challenge. That is why I am so happy that I have tried Outer Spice. They specialize in make low and no sodium seasonings.

I usually don't like spice on my food. It upsets my stomach. Outer Spice Spicy is great because it doesn't smother your food on spice. It just gives it a little kick. 

I am a huge fan of the Outer Spice Original seasonings, my favorite being the one with the Himalayan Salt (because I am not supposed to have it). They bring the flavor out in the foot instead of taking it over. 

Each seasoning is $7.99 and can be purchased at OutSpiceIt.com. These seasonings are perfect, even if you are not hypertensive. Try them, and I know you will love them as I do!

Jessica Robertson Lip Gloss Collection

As you all know, I am always on the look out for new lip colors to share with you and I am so excited to tell you about these lip glosses from the Jessica Robertson Collection. 
They are available in six colors: Cherry Red, Berry, Nude, Peach Mango, Iced Mocha and Cotton Candy and are $7 a piece. This may seem a little steep, but the glosses come in  large tubes that hold enough gloss to carry you through many applications this summer.
These glosses went on smooth and really made my lips pop! They also smell really good☺ My favorite color is Cherry Red, but all the colors stand out on their own. They are what I like to call "color essentials", or the perfect go-to shades to transcend all of your outfits and occassions for summer. 
To view all the of the Jessica Robertson products and to get more info on the lip gloss, go to DrSunRX.com.
