I used to love Honeysuckle from Bath & Body Works. This blows BBW out of the water for me! The scent is amazing and fresh. The lather is nice and moisturizing. It contains moisturizing beads and real orange peel extract. Orange peel is a natural cleanser and skin conditioner.<br />
<br />
After the first time I used it, Dave & Ray commented on how much they liked the scent. Dave tried it and liked it so much that I went back to buy another bottle.<br />
<br />
So yes, I have bought it a second time. I'll likely buy it a third time. I really like it! Once again, I'm really impressed with a drugstore bodywash.<br />

Since she loves purple, I did a purple eye look. I did my makeup late in the day and there wasn't really any good light when I went to take pictures, due to all the raining all day. I got a few good pictures but most are disappointing.<br />

Futuristic Glam Rock - A gorgeous bright sky blue with strong green sheen. Closer to light, the green sheen becomes violet, giving it a strong lavender highlight. Metallic & sparkly. <br />
Glitterboi - the most perplexing. In the jar a deep midnight blue, on skin it's a deep blue with purple sparkles and a very strong green sheen. Closer to light, morphs to a dark, vibrant blue-based purple. Metallic & sparkly. <br />

I'm glad I did!<br />
<a href="http://s619.photobucket.com/albums/tt277/decorativediva/Feb2010/?action=view&current=tendigit.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i619.photobucket.com/albums/tt277/decorativediva/Feb2010/tendigit.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Read on to see my thoughts, a coupon code, and some Memorial Day Sale information!<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><b>I ordered:</b><br />
Little Black Dress Perfume Roll On with Jojoba Oil<br />
Mandarin Coconut Solid Perfume<br />
Monkey Farts Whipped Body Butter<br />
Coconut Lip Balm<br />
4 Country Apple Dye Free Soy Blend Wax Muffin Melts<br />
<br />
Shipping for all of that was just over $5, so it was quite reasonable.<br />
<br />
<b>The scents are described as:</b><br />
<b>Little Black Dress</b> (Perfume Roll on Oil)- rich blackberry, ruby cassis, sugared apricots, violet petals, sweet heliotrope and burgundy roses with bottom notes of golden amber, velvety vanilla musk and smooth sandalwood<br />
<br />
I love this. At first I was worried because the very first note I smelled was the sandalwood and I was worried that it would be the ONLY note I could detect. If all I can smell is sandalwood, it ends up smelling like incense to me. Thankfully, the rest of the notes came into play and I love it. It's neat to be able to smell the rose and violet, yet it's not too sweet.<br />
<br />
<b>Mandarin Coconut</b> ~(Solid Perfume Tin) a fabulous arrangement of fresh mandarin oranges, tropical fruits, creamy coconut, and tiny hints of vanilla bean<br />
<br />
I really like this. The coconut balances with the fruit perfectly. It's easy to apply and came in a little tin. The scent in this doesn't fade as fast as some of my other tins from other companies have faded, though solid perfumes tend to fade faster than perfume oils regardless.<br />
<br />
<b>Monkey Farts</b> (Whipped Body Butter)- fresh bananas, coconuts, pineapple, kiwi, strawberry...things a monkey eats....and farts :)<br />
<br />
I love this! For times when I want sweet, this is awesome! I'd totally wear this as a perfume. The body butter takes less than I'm used to for it to moisturize my skin. It absorbs pretty quickly, and it doesn't leave me feeling all greasy and nasty. Of course, Phaedra thinks it smells FANTASTIC, so she wanted to lick it off. Silly puppy!<br />
<br />
<b>Country Apple (BBW type)</b> (Soy Tarts)- top notes of pineapple, jasmine, and tiger lily; strong middle notes of juicy McIntosh apples and tart granny smith apples, with a dry down of vanilla beans<br />
<br />
This smells exactly like the BBW version. It's a really nice summer scent. I love tarts :)<br />
<br />
<b>Coconut</b> (Lip Balm)- a creamy coconut<br />
The coconut lipbalm is really nice. It absorbs quickly into my lips. I may have found a replacement for my beloved Aromaleigh lip balms. It doesn't smell like suntan lotion, more like a creamy coconut.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Pink Sugar</b> (Soy Tart)- a fruity blend of cotton candy, lemon drops, caramel and raspberry jam on a dry down of musk<br />
<br />
This was a free tart that came with my order. I'm fond of Pink Sugar, mostly because it's sweet and yummy.<br />
<br />
<b>Would I order again?</b><br />
I LOVE everything I ordered! In fact, I loved it so much I went to place another order a little while ago.<br />
<br />
<b>Right now is a great time to order because Ten Digit Creations is having a Memorial Day sale</b>. Their site says:<br />
Now through Monday the following items are BUY ONE GET ONE 50% OFF -- 4oz Body Butter, 8oz Body Lotion, 8oz Sugar Scrub, 2oz Body Mist, .5oz Solid Perfume Tin, and 8oz Bath Salts!<br />
<br />
Also, Ten Digit Creations is extending a 10% discount to my readers (though it cannot be combined with the BOGO sale).<br />
<b>The Coupon Code</b> is: <b><span style="color: magenta;">COURTNEY10</span></b><br />
<br />
<b>I just ordered:</b><br />
Monkey Farts Body Mist Spray<br />
Lemon Sugar Body Mist Spray<br />
Buttercream Cupcake Body Mist Spray<br />
Hummingbird Body Mist Spray<br />
4 Buttercream cupcake muffin melts<br />
<br />
<b>Monkey Farts</b> - fresh bananas, coconuts, pineapple, kiwi, strawberry...things a monkey eats....and farts :)<br />
<br />
<b>Lemon Sugar</b> (Fresh type) - citrus top notes of real lemon, and warm base notes of vanilla and sugar<br />
<br />
<b>Buttercream Cupcake</b> - begins with top notes of churned whipped butter, blonde sugar cane; followed by middle notes of Madagascar vanilla and maple; well-rounded with a dry base note of vanilla extract<br />
<br />
<b>Hummingbird</b> - begins with top notes of tart kiwi, middle notes of lilac and tiger lily, with fresh based notes of pineapples and pears<br />
<br />
There were a couple other scents I was curious about too, Rain Water and Honeysuckle.<br />
<br />
Have you tried Ten Digit Creations? Did you like them? Are you planning on ordering from their Memorial Day sale? Let me know :)<br />

I put a teal color - Ozone - around the middle of my eyes (my upper lid and my crease). Then I put Scratched Scruples all over my lid. Then in the crease I put Private Lunacy. The effect it had was that my lid started out blue, then became blue-green, then green, then yellow-green. I really liked the effect. If I try it again, I need to get the green to be a bit more visible and the line between the green and the yellow-green to be more fluid and less sharp.<br />

<br />
First up, a set of custom earrings that I ordered from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/WhimsyBeading" target="_blank">Whimsy Beading</a>. They're gorgeous! They're a deep blue-based teal with chartreuse accents, in the threader style. I've fallen in love with the threader style.<br />
<br />

You can see them with my original pair. They're slightly longer, and very vivid.<br />

And here they are on me :)<br />
<br />
<br />
If you're looking for custom, pretty jewelry, definitely check out Whimsy Beading. My earrings were only $20, and exactly what I imagined, so I'm really happy with them! Kelly is really great to work with on custom orders. <br />

Next up, the lovely Duvessa of <a href="http://oneofbeautysdaughters.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">One of Beauty's Daughters</a> had a blog contest and I won. These are the cool prizes she sent me!<br />

She looked so cute with the way she was sitting in the recliner this morning I had to snap a pic.<br />
<br />
Standard poodles are just such fantastic dogs. She's so good-natured and sweet and even tempered. She really is the epitome of the standard poodle temperment. She's so people-oriented, she wants to please us. She learns quickly. She's always up to take a walk with me if I want to walk, or cuddle with me if I want to snuggle her. When I'm sick, she's always laying next to me, comforting me. She's definitely smart, and can get creative with finding things to get into if I'm playing WoW for too long. She has spoiled me for life! I had no idea how great of a companion a dog could be until she came into my life and I'm grateful to have her.Phyrrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02168093054712781267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240254553774068691.post-66598510300336296322010-05-27T11:15:00.000-04:002010-05-27T11:15:11.322-04:00The Thursday Poll<b>1.

<br />
<b>2. Have you ever had an MRI done?</b><br />

As an added bonus, I picked up a few other colors to play with to meet the minimum order requirement from TKB.<br />

<br />
Here are my thoughts. <br />
<b>The colors are NOT repackaged.</b><br />
<br />
Team Rocket is more of a red-based purple than Grape Pop.<br />
Lance the Dragon Trainer, Zubat and MewTwo look nothing like Grape Pop.<br />
Bulbasaur is a deeper green than Apple Green Pop.<br />
Acid is more of a yellow-green-gold while Apple green pop is a lighter grass green.<br />
Tangerine Pop is deeper and slightly oranger than Charmander. Charmander is more yellow-gold than Tangerine Pop. This is probably the closest color to a TKB Pop.<br />
Pikachu is a more intense yellow with red and what might be some gold sparkles, where as Lemon Drop Pop is a lighter yellow.<br />
Mew is a pale strawberry color, paler and softer than both Strawberry Pop and Raspberry pop.<br />
Squirtle is more of an aqua-lagoon blue, whereas Blueberry Pop is a vivid primary color blue.<br />
S.S. Anne is a chocolate mocha based beige brown shade, whereas Glimmer Beige is a golden yellow beige. This color is in the same color family as Glimmer Beige, but not the same.<br />
<br />

I like them.Phyrrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02168093054712781267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240254553774068691.post-90821397984410784872010-05-26T19:59:00.000-04:002010-05-26T19:59:19.310-04:00Golds for Mika*ChanMy lovely friend <a href="http://aijuswhanakno.blogspot.com/">Mika*chan</a> asked for a gold comparison of golds with <a href="http://www.sugarpillshop.com/products/goldilux-loose-eyeshadow">Sugarpill Goldilux</a>.

I'd been planning on wearing Morgana's <a href="http://morganaminerals.com/shop/get-medieval-shadow-collection/winifred.html" target="_blank">Winifred</a> for weeks, but I wasn't sure what I'd wear with it. Once I saw <a href="http://www.aromaleigh.com/vreliedeycov.html" target="_blank">Apocalypse Pansy</a> I knew that's what would be perfect for this look. I also threw in Gaslight Tears for good measure.<br />

I'm wearing my lilac today. If you're wearing it, let me know.Phyrrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02168093054712781267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240254553774068691.post-39883113890752373952010-05-24T21:38:00.003-04:002010-05-25T14:12:24.826-04:00Laura Geller GiveawayRecently I was contacted by a PR rep for Laura Geller. They've given me the opportunity to host a giveaway with Laura Geller's Soft Touch Air Whipped Bronzer.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s619.photobucket.com/albums/tt277/decorativediva/Feb2010/?action=view&current=bronzer.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i619.photobucket.com/albums/tt277/decorativediva/Feb2010/bronzer.jpg" /></a><br />

The PR rep also sent some of Laura Geller's advice for summer. While I don't tan or use bronzer myself, I like that Laura is promoting a healthy glow for the summer with her bronzer for people who do love that sun-kissed look. I like the suggestion of a lip palette, as well as peach and coral for the summer. Of course I also think bright aqua and gold are perfect for summer, too.<br />
<br />
Below are Laura's suggestions for summer, as well as details on the giveaway.<br />
<b>What are three cosmetics a woman needs in her purse at all times?</b><br />
Lipstick, a freshening anti-shine powder and concealer. When looking to pack for the day, you might want to consider a lip palette for broader options. We might start off wanting to wear a nude or natural lip color, but entering into another environment, we might like to change it up to a brighter pink or red to make a different statement. <br />
<br />
<b>How can you get a natural-looking, sun-kissed glow without spending hours in the damaging sun?</b><br />
Body and face bronzers that are available are my preference over self tanners. Laura Geller Studio has a few great options including Baked Body Frosting Moisturizing Powder (QVC Item #A79751). This could be applied dry for a slight bronzed hue, or applied wet, it transforms into a much more golden color to the body and creates a satiny look. I wanted it to be portable so it can provide instant results wherever you are, so it’s not a liquid, it’s easy to apply, it won’t appear orange and it doesn’t streak. Also, brand new and currently exclusive to QVC is my Soft Touch Air Whipped Bronzer (QVC Item #A202071). This is the quickest way to transform milky white skin naturally, as it warms with the heat of your body. It also has no shimmer or sparkle, so it provides more of a matte finish to the bronzed look.<br />
<br />
<b>What are some of the make-up trends we’ll see this summer for both daytime and evening looks?</b><br />
You’re going to see a lot of peach and coral colors and bronzing is back stronger than ever. There was a time when milky white skin was in, but this year, bronze is really strong so you’re going to see colors that exemplify the summer look – peach, coral, bronze. Lashes are being played up as well, but in a very soft and natural way. The look is not the heavily made-up look, it’s the easy, natural summer beauty look.<br />
<br />
Tune-in to QVC for Laura Geller Makeup Studio, scheduled to air at the following times: <b>June 1 at 1PM</b> and <b>8PM</b>, <b>June 2 at 11AM</b> and <b>7PM</b>, <b>June 3</b> at <b>1PM EST</b>.<br />
<br />
<b>To enter the giveaway:</b><br />
1. You must be a subscriber to my blog and tell me how you follow.<br />
2. You must be a resident of the USA or Canada.<br />
3. You must tell me what color(s) you're most interested in wearing this summer.<br />

With the Pop Teal Eyes cake, the bright lagoon blue is easily my favorite color. It's a very pretty, pigmented blue with some silver iridescence. The light blue is ok. The mint and the light grey are really pretty. The deep blue-tinged grey is a matte shade, and very nice. I like that the colors coordinate nicely.Phyrrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02168093054712781267noreply@blogger.com
