Four Ways To Beat The Winter Blues
With Retail Therapy!
So many of us suffer from the Winter Blues, it now even has a clinical name! Seasonal affective disorder is actually now considered a fairly common disorder, and those of us living in states less weather-blessed suffer the most. According to wikipedia, a whopping 9.7% of the population in New Hampshire is depressed in the Wintertime!

Lip Gloss In Yummy Scents and Flavors!
I’m not quite sure why, but I LOVE scented lip gloss. My theory is that since apparently the sense of smell is closely linked to memories, yummy scents remind me of fun times (perhaps my childhood lip balms)? Regardless of the reason, I am positively hooked. So here is my guide to scented lip gloss that you can purchase if you’re in the mood.

I recently published a post about Estee Lauder’s Pure Color Vanilla Pods Eyeshadow duo, mistakenly refering to it as “Vanilla Pops”. The original post has been edited, and can be found at the link below. Just wanted to let you all know about the mistake, in case you’re on the hunt for the shade!
Estee Lauder Vanilla Pods Eyeshadow review and swatches!

It’s official! As of Fall 2011–the bags, bling & beauty blogger is now a soccer Mom! Being sexy and being practical generally don’t mix, but in the case of Estee Lauder’s Vanilla Pops eyeshadow duo, there is an exception to this rule! These warm, coffee creamer shades are neutral but lustrous. No wallflower earth-tones here!
As is always the case, the Pure Color EyeShadows in this duo glide on like silk stockings. The color is pigment-rich and long-wearing. I can never give enough praise to Estee Lauder’s latest shadow formula! It’s such perfection!

Left, a matte pale beige. Right a medium mauve-beige.
Retail price is $30.

I originally fell in love with MAC Peachstock lipstick when it was part of MAC’s Liberty of London collection. What a thrill that it will be back on August 25th, as part of the MAC Me Over colour collection for Fall 2011!
From the “Basics” makeup lineup, Peachstock is a peachy nude that creates the ultimate nakes lip with just a wee bit of color.
