Estee Lauder Vanilla Pods Eyeshadow Review and Swatches
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!
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.

Peachstock Lipstick Swatch
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.
Check out the collection at MACCosmetics.com.

Love by Kim Kardashian
We all know it happened. Kim Kardashian fell in love! As a tribute to her continually growing love for Kris Humphries, Kim has launched a new fragrance: Love by Kim Kardashian.
The scent is feminine, with top notes of sparkling red currant, pink freesia and star jasmine. A heart of French mimosa, rare Egyptian tuberose, and rose absolute orpur eases into a rich background of sensual musk, creamy sandalwood, and orris butter.
The fragrance is housed in the most gorgeous bottle, and is itself a collector’s item. Each limited-edition, platinum finish bottle is numbered and signed by Kim! Only 1,000 bottles were produced—one for Kim to wear on her wedding day, 200 for her bridal shower and 799 to share the love with her fans.
Want to be one of the 799 that wears the scent like Kim? Retail price is $100.
Boutique 9 Sandals Review
I seriously purchased a half dozen sandals and returned them before stumbling upon this gem! Pictured is the Boutique 9 Garima sandal, purchased from Endless.com (and currently DEEPLY on sale at 25% off of the original $130). Boutique 9’s Garima is what Nine West was, once upon a time. This chic strappy design is made from a high-quality black leather, and tied in an adorable knot that almost resmbles a heart. As always, comfort is key for this blogger. The back strap is elastic, to ensure the shoe fits perfectly. My foot is wider near the toes, and narrower by the heel. These worked perfectly for my bizarre triangular feet!
