Jessica Simpson’s Hair Care Secret

December 16, 2008 by: admin

Ever wondered how Jessica Simpson keeps her long locks looking so lovely? Now thanks to her stylist Ken Paves the secret is out.

“She only washes her hair about two to three times a month. I told Jess a long time ago that you should only wash your hair a few times a week, and in between, rinse it and condition it. And her hair looks fantastic all the time,” over-shares Paves.

I’ve heard of two or three times a week, but a month? That just sounds gross to me. What do you think?

NYC Chroma Face Glow and a Giveaway

December 12, 2008 by: admin

I have a confession to make…. I’m obsessed with MAC MSFs and anything similar. So when I found the NYC Chroma Face Glow products and they were only $5.99 each I knew I had to pick some up.

The Chroma Face Glow is available in two shades moonstone and sunstone. Sunstone is a peachy shade and Moonstone is more pinkish. I bought both of them and while they’re both gorgeous I prefer moonstone. Moonstone is very similar to the petticoat MSF from Mac if you’re at all familiar with that product.

The only bad thing about these is that they are Limited Edition so hurry to your local drugstore and pick one up before they’re all gone.

The good news is that I picked up an extra Moonstone Chroma Face Glow which I plan on giving away to one lucky reader. So how can you win? Just email me at admin@beflossy.com or post a comment between now and noon tomorrow morning telling me about your favorite blush/MSF type product. I’ll then pick one lucky winner at random and announce them tomorrow. It’s that easy so comment away! And before I go I thought I’d leave you with a picture of my vanity/makeup area and of my puppy who always sits and watches me do my makeup, hehe. Enjoy!

Maybelline Lash Stiletto Mascara Review

December 2, 2008 by: admin

I was in Wal Mart last week when I spotted this new mascara from Maybelline. I wasn’t in need of a new mascara, but after seeing the adorable packaging I had to pick it up.

With this mascara Maybelline is looking to do for lashes what stilettos do for legs. That is to impart provocative length and black-patent shine. So does it do that? After a week of wearing this mascara daily here is my review.

Pros:

  • It doesn’t clump
  • It builds decent length
  • The wand is easy to use
  • Cute packaging and it’s shaped like a stiletto!

Cons:

  • No patent finish
  • Smells worse than Colossal
  • Falls short in the volume and curl department

Verdict:

I give this mascara 3 1/2 out of 5 stars. It isn’t terrible, but it won’t become a “favorite” either. If you want a very natural look and only need to add length to your lashes then you’ll love it. I prefer an almost fake lash effect so I prefer CoverGirl Lash Blast and Maybelline Colossal because they give more volume and curl. I’ve heard from others that this product isn’t available until January and that only a few select “test” markets have it at the moment. So some of you may have to wait until January to be able to purchase it. I picked mine up for around $6.99. Have you tried Lash Stiletto yet? What were your thoughts?

Lancome Definicils Mascara is the best….or is it

December 1, 2008 by: admin

I was flipping through my husbands Consumer Reports magazine today when I came across a review on mascaras. They asked a panel of 34 staffers to use 16 washable black mascaras for six weeks. They then rated each on overall performance, ease of application, brush, look on lashes, durability, and ease of removal.

The Winner was Lancome Definicils. But they found several other very good mascaras which can be found at the drugstore: Max Factor Lash Perfection Volume Couture, Maybelline Define A Lash Volume, Cover Girl Volume Exact, and Loreal Telescopic Clean Defintion and Lengthening.

I personally have never been a fan of Definicils. I was also disappointed to see two of my favorites didn’t make the list: CoverGirl Lash Blast and Maybelline The Colassal. What are your thoughts on the list? What is your favorite mascara?
