Tanning Bed in a Tube?

Well, there is... sort of! A safe tanning bed. Introducing Too Faced's Tanning Bed in a Tube.
"Tanning Bed in a Tube" is an instant gel bronzer, with a gradual self-tanner built right in.

While, I'm a big fan of spray self tanners, this one is a gel, and I found the texture and the application very easy, and no streaks, which is OBVIOUSLY important!

Too Faced's Tanning Bed in a Tube is $22.50 at Sephora. I spent only 10 minutes at Sephora yesterday, however I managed to also check out the rest of the Too Faced Summer Line. Stay tuned!

Did I mention how much I loved summer and being tanned??? (Artifically of course, when I can.)

Pretty Obsessed on Hiatus?

No, she's just too damn busy at her "other" job. You know the one that pays the bills?

My friends, I'm back with a LOT of stuff to update you on.
Please be prepared for a influx of posts and those of you on Facebook, be prepared for a number of "Kaiti posted a new note" on your Home Feed!

I Heart the Mediterranean

First of all when you think Elizabeth Arden, you think HARD, AWFUL, HURT YOUR HEAD perfume.....Well, that's what I think of at least, because I associate Elizabeth Arden with the Red Door fragrance. Which in my opinion just HORRIBLY STRONG!

Normally, I'm really big on scented lotion for my everyday "scent" rather then a full on perfume. However......I am IN LOVE with Elizabeth Arden's new fragrance Mediterranean. It's a very pretty, floral, feminine, romantic, spring-like scent. Perfect, for summer!

Here is what they have described the scent to smell like on the website:

Sparkling Radiance: Peach Nectar Sorbet, Sicilian Mandarin, Damask Plum
Unforgettable Bloom:Radiant Wisteria, Star Magnolia, Madagascar Orchid
Lasting Impression: Addictive Sandalwood, Fluid Skin Musk, Golden Amber Whisper

While, I'm a little hesitant to put away my MAC Turquatic , I've been wearing the Mediterranean since yesterday and it hasn't messed with my nose or given me a headache.

Choosing your Scent:

The strength of scents varies with the percentage of essential oils and how much they are diluted. Perfume bases are 78% to 95% denatured ethyl alcohol, and essential oils make up the rest of the scent. Scents are broken up into the following categories according to strength of scent: Perfume is the most expensive, and is made up of about 22% of essential oils. Eau de Parfum is the next in line and is 15-22% essential oils. Finally, Eau de Toilette is 8-15% of essential oils, and Eau de Cologne is about 4% essential oils.

Every fragrance has three perfume notes – top, middle and base. The top note is what you smell right after application (mostly alcohol) and lasts for one minute. The body of the perfume is the middle note, which is acquired 5 to 30 minutes after application. The base note is how the scent smells after mixing with your skin and body, and is produced two hours after application. These three perfume notes are the reason why you should not purchase perfumes simply because they smelled lovely on someone else. Everyone’s skin will react differently with a perfume, producing middle and base notes unique to individual body chemistry. At the perfume counter, spray the perfume directly onto your skin rather than on the sample cardboards, and do not smell it directly from the bottle. After you have spritzed yourself, wait 30 seconds to smell the scent so that you do not get a whiff primarily of alcohol.

Like wine, perfume needs some time to breathe and open up. If you are still unsure what perfume is best after spraying 10 different types, ask for a sample to take home. Once you find the perfect scent, go back and make the purchase. Also, ask the perfume salesperson for coffee beans, not to munch on, but to smell in between each perfume to neutralize the smells. That way, you will smell each individual smell, not a mixture of smells.

Your Handheld Digital Trainer!

I stumbled across this website while looking for a fitness regime to put on my iPod. While at the gym, I noticed a girl beside me on the bike watching her iPod. I figured it was a video or whatever, but nosy as I am I got a little closer to discover it was a spinning instructor! I was on a mission to find a down loadable software. The website is called Pump One.

Choose between Strength Training, Weight Loss, Endurance, Flexibility, and Heart Health. Pump One provides you with fitness routines from the comfort of your iPod. Featured are clear and concise tips that visually guide you through your workout, while listening to you own music!

The Weight Loss section really intrigued me as I have to get skinny for Europe.....
Choose from xPump-a Cardio Cross Train, Pulse Pump-Cardio Intervals, Pumped For Life-Complete Conditioning, Total Pump-Total Body Workout, Swiss Pump-Core Challenge, Pumped Pilates-Pilates Mat, and last but not least, my favourite....The Weight Loss Bundle.

There are a variety of different bundles and packages that vary in price. Starting at $59.99-$199.00 US.

This is better and in my opinion way cooler than ripping workouts from magazines...... :)

Really? Revlon? Wow....

I'm really impressed by Revlon's new Limited Edition lines. With all new products for Face, Lips, Eyes and Nails I can't wait to try them out. Check out the "Bedroom Eyes Powder Liner". The combination of loose powder formula and sponge tip applicator creates a sexy, smoky eye look in one easy step. Available in 6 rich, deep and smoky shades.

What about the Lash Jewels Eye Accents? It's a liquid formula that crystallizes into delicate droplets on lash tips, creating a multi-dimensional, jewel-like effect.



Granted these are not everyday looks, but FABULOUS for going out for a night on the town! I'll try them out.....We'll see.....More to come!
