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.

 Any Mom will tell you… the reasoning behind bag selection is vastly different once you have little ones to consider. My bag du jour is the Linea Pelle Dylan shoulder bag. I love it for its versatility and style. Four outer pockets not only look chic, but organize hard-to-find items that would normally get lost in a bag of this size. A zipper runs along the entire length of the bottom of the bag, allowing the carrier to increase the storage size of the bag to tremendous proportions while on the run. Practicality aside, Linea Pelle’s Dylan is a slouchy, shabby chic that just fits my “jeans and t-shirt” style perfectly. And, the leather is so buttery soft, you won’t be able to keep your hands off of it! Retail price is $395.Click HERE to shop Linea Pelle. |
 Who says that a necessity can’t also be an accessory? I’m not usually a fan of ear buds, but I adore Grunge Buds by Atomic9. Each set of Grunge Buds can fit three different ear sizes, and can be used for music, or to chat on your phone! A strategically placed clip ensures that your device doesn’t pull your ear buds from your ears. Retail price is $39.99 per set. Click HERE to head to the Atomic9 website, to check out Grunge Buds! |
 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! This compact, part of Estee Lauders “pink” product lineup from 2009, is still housed comfortably in my bag. I take such good care of it, because it’s a tiny piece of luxury in a very unluxurious life! It also serves as a constant reminder to be aware of how many women are affected by breast cancer. Retail price for this beauty was $55 last year, and I can’t wait to see if a new design will be introduced this year!www.esteelauder.com |

I’ll admit right now, when the vibrating mascara craze first started, I was not among the early adopters. I dismissed these tremoring little mascara applicators as a novelty, not a necessity. After years of learning to apply mascara with a steady hand, did I really want to introduce a shaking wand to my routine?
Since sampling Estee Lauder Turbolash mascara, I’ve been won over. This rapidly vibrating mascara applicator helps coat lashes quickly and effectively. Introduced as part of the Estee Lauder “Blacker Than Black” collection in early December, Estee’s TurboLash All Effects Motion Mascara is a deep, dark black that is the perfect partner to a smoky eye!
Retail price is $32.
