My Top 6 Current Beauty Obsessions (and Miracle Workers)

I try a lot of beauty products. A LOT. At any given time, my apartment pretty much just looks like the inside of Sephora or Ulta combined. And, while I have my tried and true favorites, I definitely expand my beauty horizons fairly frequently. Right now, these are the six products I simply can't get enough of.

Thankfully, I've introduced a few new products into my routine to give my skin that gorgeous summer glow.

Lusts of the Week: The Body Edition

I have a long-standing love of bath and body products. I've been using shower gels since I was about 13, and my collection has grown in leaps and bounds throughout my years as a beauty writer. (At last count? I had 16 shower gels in my shower. Too much or just enough?) Plus, I love a good hand cream -- I've been known to harbor at least 10 at a time on my nightstand and in my purse!

Over the weekend, I stopped in Sephora. I had one thing on the agenda -- to pick up my free birthday gift (the big day is tomorrow!). But, of course, there was no way I could walk out without buying a few things. And, while this normally means at least $40 spent on nail polish, this time everything I bought was bath and body related! These are the goods.

Lusts of the Week: Products for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Every October, pink products invade the market for breast cancer awareness. And, while do believe in the cause, I don't always get involved in all of the product hoopla surrounding the month. This year, however, I couldn't help but gravitate toward a few of them. Read on to see my favorites.

Well, fellow beauty chicks, I was definitely in need of some fabulous Lusts of the Week recently.

Lusts of the Week

Happy hump day, fellow beauty chicks! I am totally not happy about the dropping temperatures ... I'm just in denial over the fact that winter is upon us. I know it's December, but come on -- I still want to wear my new Juicy Couture plaid wool peacoat! Ah well ... I guess I'll have time for it next year. In any case, my skin has become quite ravaged by the falling temps -- which means it's time to break out the big guns in terms of products that will soften it back up ASAP! Here are the ones that have been doing the job admirably.

I seriously can't believe it's November already. Who knew time could go so quickly? Before I know it, Thanksgiving will be here. Totally unbelievable! But what I'm really obsessing over this week -- and quite frankly, for awhile now -- is Twilight. I've been watching every preview and spoiler for months, and I just devoured the entire series in less than two weeks. I can't believe the movie comes out next week after all this waiting! In the meantime, I have of course been playing with some fabulous beauty products. Here's what I'm lusting after this week.

Did everyone watch Project Runway last night? Well if not, proceed with caution ... because there's a SPOILER AHEAD! I am so glad Kenley didn't win. Between Korto and Leanne, I wasn't too picky -- but Leanne's collection was definitely more innovative, so kudos to her. And now on to more important matters ... my fave products of the week! I've been super-stressed, so I've been lusting after products to relax and calm me. And what better way to do that than by lighting a delicious scented candle and settling back on my comfy couch? These are the two that have been, well, lighting up my life this past week.
