Really, Kate Spade? This is what you give us to work with this season? C’mon!

Best part? It’s effing $125!

I refuse to even link to this for those of you ninnies who might want this. N.O.

Okay fine, just so you know I’m not yanking your chain covered in bows…

We may not think her show is too fab but we think she looks awesome almost everytime she’s photographed. Here’s what the TV “starlet” has to say about her delicate and natural look:

I start by mixing Fresh High Noon tinted moisturizer with the Fresh Soy Face Cream to get a nice base with a little sunkissed glow.  Then I dust Bare Minerals Powder with SPF 15 to even out my skin.  Next I bronze with Guerlain Number One for Blondes on my cheeks, hairline and jawline. Then I brush a little bit of NARS Orgasm Blush on my cheekbones, a little on my forehead, nose, and chin to keep it constant.  I use Anastasia brow gel to give my eyebrows a nice shape (this is especially helpful if I haven’t had time to go in to get them done.)  I highlight under my eyebrows with Benefit Eye Bright and then curl my lashes with a Sephora eyelash curler. Sometimes if I’m really feeling like going all out for the day I put on Maybelline mascara.

This look is really easy to transition from day to night. I reapply the basics and use the Stila Smudge pot with a slanted brush to put eyeliner on. For my lips I love the Fresh Sugar Lip Stain with SPF in it.

Seems like a lot of steps but it really only takes 5 minutes!

Thanks Grechen’s codes!

Good name, right? So I assumed this thing would be amazing. It’s actually NOT. The blender like doesn’t pull anything down far enough into it you have to keep stopping it and stirring whatever you have in there. Big pain. The Food Processor isn’t bad but nothing too fantastic. I understand that it’s only about $100 for both but honestly if you’re going to use it alot, it’s kind of a piece of junk and you’re better off investing in something else more substantial.
