Like most women, one of my great joys in life is some luxurious undies. But many of us are plagued by the high prices and limited size selection at the big boys of the lingerie industry. Get a clue: not all of us are sized like or paid like Heidi Klum, people. Continue reading Lovely Lingerie From Adore Me

Celebrity Beauty Secrets: Heidi Klum’s Legs
Have you ever watched the VS fashion show or some similar display of your inadequacy and thought, “How on earth do they get their legs to look THAT good? Can you Photoshop in real-time now?”
There’s no doubt Heidi Klum is sexy by nature – but where her fortuitous gene pool ends, Victoria’s Secret lead makeup artist Linda Hay begins.

Lipgloss Reviews: Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss
Definitive proof that Vicky’s isn’t always overpriced: I got the Beauty Rush lip gloss AND a racerback shirt proclaiming “Delicious” that Britney Spears was once seen wearing as a GWP. (That’s a gift with purchase for those of you who aren’t obsessed with throwing away all of your disposable income.) Okay, Britney was bald at the time, but it’s still like vicarious star power in my opinion.

Being your traditional gooey formula, it possesses the age-old gloss downfalls.

Review: Victoria’s Secret Very Sexy Face Illuminator
I admit: I have a sick obsession with Victoria’s Secret. However, I rarely make it to the beauty side of the store. But when the Very Sexy line debuted, I was intrigued. It seemed more professional and high-end than Vicky’s previous sort of impulse-buy-with-your-panties makeup.
I tried the Very Sexy Face Illuminator in Glow, and I was impressed. It’s a light shimmer creme that’s about the texture of concealer. A perfect highlighter that complements best spread high on the cheekbones, it’s also excellent on the bridge and tip of your nose, apples of your cheeks, or the browbone.
