wTf, dolls? Why was SNL so bad this past weekend? And did anyone else think that the only funny thing was the Black Eyed Peas? I had never seen them perform live before and I was so disappointed. They were like an awful Karaoke version of themselves? How does that happen? All they did was jump around and push each other. And don’t even get me started on January Jones’ blatant and egregious cue card reading during her monologue. I’m not claiming to be a good actress but that’s not my job. Basically Black Eyed Peas  I will continue to run to your album each morning but will not be seeing you anytime soon in concert. January Jones, I shall continue not to watch you on that Mad Men show I always hear about. We read once that Ashton Kutcher told you that you shouldn’t try to become an actress…that’s all I’ll say.

So maybe Reese sold out a little with her own fragrance, but we’re going to overlook that because we f-ing love her and every movie she’s ever been in since Cruel Intentions.

In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon for Avon features:

Top Notes:
Georgia Peach Tea Leaves, Crisp Greens

Heart Notes:
Star Gardenia, Magical Magnolia, Night Blossoming Jasmine

Base Notes:
Cashmere Woods, Hypnotic Florals, Amber Wood Crystals

In normal people terms that translates to mean that it’s floral-ey but not overly sweet.

In developing In Bloom, Reese said,”The rules of fragrance are simple and finite. Any Cosmo girl would have known.”

Jk……we wish…

She actually did say “In developing In Bloom, I found myself drawn to the scents of my childhood in Tennesse. We had a great big magnolia tree in the backyard and it’s that beautiful white blossom that inspired the perfume.”

I like the stout little bottle. It’s so cute and simple, just like Reesey-poo! However, not what the designers had in mind during design, it’s actually meant to be a flower “in bloom,” quelle shocke! What do you expect though, it’s not rocket science. What, like it’s hard?

Obvs Avon doesn’t have a store you can just stop by and take a sniff but you could totes hit up your Avon rep for some samples to test out how it smells on your skin or visit Avon online to pick up In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon.

In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon Eau de Parfum ($34.00, 1.7 fl. oz.)
In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon Limited Edition Parfum ($59.00, 1 fl. oz.)

Remember when I told you about Lauren Luke, famed YouTube makeup artist? Well she’s going on tour to let you know all about her fabulous makeup tips!

By creating her own how-to videos for YouTube, chatting with thousands of friends via Facebook and MySpace, sending daily updates on Twitter, and posting photos on Flickr, Lauren has become an unlikely sensation.  She was a recent subject of a BBC documentary, appeared on the CBS Early Show, Good Day New York, and Fox & Friends, has had articles written about her in Elle, The New York Times & Vanity Fair, and has her own column in the UK’s Guardian newspaper.  She has even been introduced to the Queen of England!

Lauren’s innate expertise is in teaching women how to create the hottest makeup looks, including celebrity looks like Leona Lewis, Rihanna, Angelina Jolie and Dita Von Teese, as well as everyday looks, like weddings, bachelorette parties, proms and date nights.  She perfects her step-by-step looks on herself as she clearly explains the products, shades and technique with easy to grasp video demonstrations from start to finish, with no editing.

Go ch-ch-check her out if you’re around:
