Another reason to shop online-- Wylee Bags

This one's for the ladies---

It's only natural that us girls have excessive amounts of make-up. I for one, tend to overdose on eyeshadow- not on my face, but in my dresser drawers. I can't stop buying it. And what's even worse is when I have to go somewhere over night. What colors do I take? How can I fit this all into my purse? It's not too fun.

Well, there's finally a stylish solution, thanks to Leighanne Littrell and Wylee Bags.

Check out these uber chic, super affordable gems that scream sophistication with an edge. Your make-up will never look so good.








For those of you that are mommas (as much as I consider my dog my daughter, this is for human baby mommas...)-- the sexiest diaper bags ever. Ah, a girl after my own heart. Look like a pin-up even after giving birth:




And since you'll already have your credit card out, add some heart-friendly jewerly to your shopping cart. Proceeds will go towards The Brian Littrell Healthy Heart Club for Kids®, which educates children and their families regarding the benefits of adopting a heart-healthy lifestyle.



While surfing around on www.hearthealthyclub.org, I also found something perhaps even more exciting than the make-up bags:

Screw Sephora, seriously.

Say that five times fast.

Anyway.

I went in there a few days ago to pick out cologne for a platonic gentleman friend's birthday, and upon my entry, a woman lunged at me, flailing a miniature, shimmering, berry-scented tube in front of my face.

"Free lipgloss samples!" she said, smiling so hugely I swear her teeth made me temporarily blind. Either that or those fluorescent lights they use in there to make you look uglier than normal so you buy more makeup.

I couldn't say no to something that smelled so delicious, so I tried it.

After I put it on, the girl--Sheila, I believe--said the following.
"Yeah! It's our new lip plumper!"

This, my friends, made me want to kill myself.
I spat, I sputtered, I scrambled, and I grabbed for any and every wipe, cotton ball, tissue, and swab within a hundred yard radius. "Lady, does it look like I need this?"

I suppose in retrospect that this should have relieved me of my proverbial "trout pout" complex, because someone was insisting that they should look bigger than they actually are. But sweet Jesus, if I had left that shit on, I might have wound up swallowing my own head.

AND!

since we are on the topic of la maquillage au naturale (pardon my french, seriously) ... i just recently got sucked into the gorgeous vaccuum that is sephora and dropped some dimes on some great stuff to liven up the ol' pallor: bare escentuals. i know everyone and their mom has seen the swirl-tap-buff sensation on every home shopping network in existence, but seriously.. the stuff works. sephora is selling kits for around $60 and they come with EVERYTHING.

either way, find it. it's a boxfull of sexy.

and since we're on this topic... i am addicted to getting dolled up to portuguese powerpop powerhouse Cansei De Ser Sexy.

(note: cansei de ser sexy - portuguese = tired of being sexy... inspired by beyonce's pompous tush once muttering 'ugh... i'm so tired of being sexy.')

the band is dominated by femme fatales with names like lovefoxxx and they recommend making love whilst listening to death from above. rawr.

seriously, if this shit doesn't make you want to do spin kicks in stilettos, you have something wrong with you.

music is their hot, hot sex and, trust me, they will make it yours, too. (www.myspace.com/canseidesersexy)

For the ladies...

I found the best foundation EVER. And believe me, I have tried them all!

www.arbonne.com

The mineral foundation is all natural, crease free, gives you a healthy GLOW, eliminates the need for another powder after application, covers blemishes, doesn't wipe off on your clothes, lasts forever AND has an SPF.

Enough said.
