How about a little relaxation? With Bath and Body Work's Aromatherapy set, that's exactly what you get! All mothers could use some "me" time. Help her kick back with the Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy "Gift of Relaxation" kit, $35. It includes a eucalyptus spearmint scented scrub, lotion, pillow mist and sponge.

For the mom that's the beauty junky, how about a great all-around palette to pamper herself with! This one by Urban Decay, the Urban Decay Sustainable Shadow Box, $36, includes 10 eyeshadows, shadow primer and comes in an eco-friendly box to boot.
If your mom dreams of adding mega shine to her hair, then she'll love the Ojon 5 Piece Shine & Protect Hair Ritual Kit, $49.95. I have been using Ojon for over 6 months and I absolutely love the stuff! There is something about naturally soft, silky and shiny hair that is a must!

...and I apologize - I have a lot of things to catch up while I've been sick these past few days. Once I get some pictures taken tonight, I'll get back to posting!

Last week I showed you all my Easter goodies, and I finally got around to taking pictures of my lipsticks! When I came through Walgreens and they had the sale on Jane, I snagged 3 of their lipsticks - Aquaceuticals Laguna, Cotton Candy and Toasted Rose. The Easter Bunny also brought me a gorgeous Rimmel lipstick called Coffee Shimmer, which I love.

Laguna is a beautiful shrimp pink with shimmer
Cotton Candy is exactly as it sounds - a cotton candy pink - no shimmer
Toasted Rose is a warm rose color - no shimmer
Coffee Shimmer is a warm brown with champagne shimmer


Absolutely gorgeous colors and at a great price due to the sale. I can't wait to wear the Cotton Candy - what a pretty pink for spring.

Yesterday I posted about Sonia Kashuk's Blending Sponge, and when I was searching through her products I found that several over her eyeshadows were marked down (although there wasn't any rhyme or reason to it). I had been looking at these colors in the past, so I took the opportunity to pay $6 for the palette instead of $9 - always looking for a bargain!!

Born to be Wild is a palette of four beautiful colors - an indigo, navy, turquoise and wine color. I figured if anything they would make great liners, but I do have quite a shortage of blues so this was the perfect addition to my collection.

The colors are very smooth and really well pigmented conidering they run about $2.50 a peice if you purchased the palette at full price. I really like the violet irridescence to the indigo color, and the turquoise is absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to try them out!

Below are swatches so you can see the colors and the shimmer in each of them.
