  The Lipstick League – week of 8.15.11

  Question of the Week: – What’s your favorite haircare line?

  EauMG’s Answer: I admit that I have never been loyal to a haircare line. Carrie from Eyeliner on a Cat did got me hooked on One ‘n Only Argan products available at Sally’s. One of the few haircare products that I repurchased! Before that I was using MororrocanOil. I am also using a Korean line, Kerasys

  Breathe it in…

  Last weekend, I headed on out to the Sequim Lavender Festival. Sequim is about an hour from where I live (crazy geography, looks closer on a map). I often forget that I live in a beautiful place. How easily we get spoiled! I remember when I first moved here how novel it was that I could grow lavender without taking care of it…and without killing it!

  Sequim (pronounced like: say “swim”, now add a /k/ and say “skwim”) lies… Continue reading | 22 Comments

• NEST Orange Blossom Candle Review

  Complaining about the weather in the Seattle area doesn’t help anything and I know that. You’ve heard me before and I’m going to say it again, I’m sick of it.

NEST candles give me some sunshine. Yeah, it doesn’t give me my daily recommendation of Vitamin D, but it does provide… Continue reading | 6 Comments

• Penhaligon’s Extract of Limes EDT Fragrance Review

  Date: 2011.07.12 | Category: fragrance | Response: 3

  

  Penhaligon’s Extract of Limes was first launched in 1963 when “real” men were meant to smell like limes. Seriously, all colognes of the 1960′s were lime based. Anyways, Extract of Limes was relaunched in 2009 in the Anthology Collection because I suppose, people wanted to smell like limes again. Even ladies.

  Extract of Limes opens up with a BAM of lemon and lime. It’s effervescent tart citrus. When I smell it far away, it reminds me of lime Perrier, up close, I get… Continue reading | 3 Comments

• L’Artisan Parfumeur Piment Brulant EDT Perfume Review

  Who eats peppers everyday? Me. Who goes through more bottles of hot sauce, dried peppers, and powdered peppers in a month than most people do in a year? Me. Who wants to smell like a fresh, red sweet pepper? Me. I’m a Southern gal and I love my peppers. I swear, I skipped Gerber rice cereal and was given pureed jalapeños instead. I’m a pepper thrill seeker. And since I’ve been hooked on hot since childhood, nothing ever seems hot enough anymore…except for L’Artisan’s… Continue reading | 9 Comments
