Sarah Scoop: Marisa

Beauty Scoop

Posted by Sarah Make-Up, Marisa 10:38 AM

At was at my favorite store Sephora again. So if you cannot find me one day just pop you head in Sephora. I was on a mission to find eye shadow that did not melt off my face. You know what I means ladies, right? You put on your favorite eye shadow and your dancing and having fun and than you take a minute to check your make-up----its is not where you applied it. It happens too often and I think that it needs to stop. Well, my Sephora friends found me an eye shadow that is water proof, mistake proof, sheer yet sparkly and does not budge. It is Buxom 'Stay-there Eye Shadow.' The product is by Bare Escentuals for their line Buxom. All the products in Buxom are awesome but these eyes shadows rock! They have an assortment of colors from work to fun. Plus you do not need a brush to apply it just use that finger your mother gave you. Lets check out the colors:

What makes this line of eye shadows fun is they are all named after our 'furry four-legged' friends. I have the purple 'Schnauzer' and taupe 'Mutt.' They are great alone or together. They blend so well and are light you do not even feel like its on you.

My next addition to my collection will be 'Pug' a smoky pewter and "Golden Retriever' a copper red. The next part of this line might just melt your heart and make you buy the entire collection. Part of the proceeds will be going to "Canine Companions for Independence a non-profit organization that enhances the lives of people with disabilities by providing highly trained assistance dogs." No sulfates or parabens. Nothing that will irritate your eye. I am a contact wearer so I have to be very careful when putting make-up near my eyes. They retail for $17 but remember if you sign up with the 'Beauty Insider' you get good deals and freebies. Check out Sephora or on-line if you do not have one close to you. You will not regret it. Let me know what you think? look for the next Beauty Scoop: Diorshow Mascara or another fun product.

Sin City Style

Posted by Sarah Marisa, Shopping, Vegas 2:43 PM

I will be leaving for Sin City, City of Entertainment or City of Lights this upcoming Friday for a short but well planned trip with my best friend from high school. The most important thing was what to bring in 115°F weather?! I thought I would share with you some of the essentials and fashionable items that will be stuffed in my suitcase or two.

When your in 115°F all you really need is a bathing suit and I found the cutest one to wear pool side at our casino's awesome pool party. The color is so fun and I love the gold embellishments.

The next items are essential and always fashionable. Must have your SPF because skin cancer is not fashionable. The other item is a cute baseball cap and before summer kicked off I found a white one at Target for under $12 and it has been my beach staple all Summer.

(any brand will do the trick!)

I have not been on a plane in about 8 years but I can never sleep on one so I always bring along a favorite book or magazine. This time I chose Glamour and a few rag mags for entertainment.

Cannot see if you do not have a cute pair of shades. I love the aviator look but can never seem to find a pair that works. I always resort to a oversized black pair of shades to block out the sun. Also good for the next morning after some late night partying.

Cannot remember Vegas unless you bring your camera with you. I will have that thing charged and ready to snap once we get off the plane.

Along with all the cute dresses I have bought you need to be primped and ready to go. There is no sleeping in Las Vegas if you have not heard already. So I am making sure I have my hair coifed 24/7 and my toes and nails done. I chose bright colors to keep things fresh and keep me awake!

( I love this brand too!)

With all the walking around you do not want to carry a heavy purse over your shoulder (ouch!) I picked up this cute Poppie Jones Crossbody bag at DSW.

Along with bright nails and coifed hair you must smell delicious and Victoria Secret came out with this amazing body spray that smells like coconuts and sugarcane (yum!) Its called Island Escape and comes in a friendly spray applicator - easy use and great for packing in a suitcase.

Last but never least is my oh so essential and fashionable Blackberry. I cannot leave home with out and how else will I Facebook, Tweet or blog without it. Here I will post all my latest adventures and crazy pictures.

I hope you enjoyed all the items I mentioned and of course there are many more but that can take days of writing and I am sure you rather hear and see how it all went. I will update you on my return!

Keep making trends!
