Wii Fit is a new,revolutionary game for Wii gaming
consoles. The reason I am writing about this is
because its supposed to be a great fitness tool.
Its redefining the way we work out and makes it
more fun. How does it work exactly? Its like an
exercise video thats interactive by using a
fitness plank. Its got four categories:strength
training(like torso twists,rowing squat,lunge,
squat,etc);aerobics(basic step,hula hoop,rhythm
boxing,etc);yoga(dance,cobra,bridge,etc) and
balance(lotus focus,snowboard slalom,etc).
You can also keep track of your progress.
What do you think? Please respond.

As an avid art fan and a perfume collector,
I am very impressed by both of these new perfumes.
They are 1 part accessory and 1 part scent-sational!
You can buy both at Sephora.
Bvlgari Omnia Amethyste looks a bit like
an art sculpture you might see at a museum,but
this new scent actually smells like a botanical
garden. With pink grapefruit,heliotrope,iris,
rosebud,and solar wood all infused together
in this lovely perfume,you'll see why.
Missoni Solid Perfume Charm Necklace is not
just a hot accessory,its got solid perfume inside
that little sephere. Now you can smell as good as
you look! The scent's ingredients include magnolia,
yellow,orange and chocolate accords,bergamot,loquat,
mandarin,bitter orange,peony,rose and amber.

Right now its summer,and its hot! Its time to cool
off,and whats better than checking out what fall
is going to bring stylewise this year? Well for
starters the colors will be rich,I'm talking
warm pumpkin,camel,and burgandy. But the colors
will also very along shades of neutral(like light
pink and creme),but you've got a few vivids(like
yellow,red and fuschia). I don't know about y'all,
but I am loving the balance of shades this
upcoming fall.
As for what are must haves:belted dresses from
BCBG,rocker styled jackets from Betsey Johnson,
pencil skirt suits from Chanel,and green
sweaters from Tracy Reese.
Next month stores will start stocking fall
fashions,shoes and accessories. I will keep
you posted. In the meantime check out the

Sometimes are biggest problems have a brilliant and easy
solution thats takes awhile to discover. And that when
we do discover it we think,"How did I ever live without
this miracle product?". It happens to the best of us
and it eventually happens to all of us.
Once its discovered it becomes a must have item,a
favorite even. Then you tell all your friends about
it and they use it. Then they go bragging about it.
And before you know it you've started a fan club
and soon it becomes a "cult" item if you know what
I mean.
Kinerase Instant Radiance Facial Peels are just that.
Not only does it exfoiliate,it contains lactic acids and
natural extracts so that its not so harsh on the skin.
Many facial peels are a bit rough on the skin,but not
this.It doesn't even sting. Use this daily for five
days then take a break of at least two weeks before
the next application.
Its also easy to use, after you regularly wash your
face,just use the swab-like applicator and apply the
solution over your face,but don't rinse it off. This
is the one facial peel you don't rinse off.
What's a product you can't live without?

Its almost officially summer(June 21,thats tommorrow!).And OPI is all ready with their Retro Fun In The Sun line. There are six bright,fun shades with clever names that fit not only the line,the shade too. Which is yet another reason I love OPI nail lacquers so much. Anyway back to the nail polish,whic also comes with a retro 2-bead ponytail holder.
Young or old,the shades are wonderful to wear all summer and even into the early fall. Wear Peach-A-Boo on your fingertips and Give Me A Coral Sometime on your toes,be ready for the beach,amusement park or whatever you do this summer. And Calendar Girl pink will be perfect warm summer night dates. Lounge outside on a hammock and admire your Sit Under The Apple Tree light green nails. Give yourself a pedicure to match your bright flip-flops,like Lemonade Stand By Your Man or Sea Ya Later Sailor. No matter what you do,be sure to collect all six of these hot shades,they will complete your summer beauty collection.
You can buy these at Trade Secret Salons

Every month in this brand new column I will mention

awesome. I don't have these items yet but let me
know if you have and if they are really all that
worthy.

This bag is too cute. Its a makeup bag,but it also could
work as a everyday clutch. And with its colorful polka
dots it could go with nearly every summer ensemble.
Anastasia Beverly Hills
For those who don't know,Anastasia is the eyebrow expert.
And she's created eyebrow stencils that make plucking easier.
Everyone should have one.

If your're anything like me you want to have a natural glow.
And no I am not talking about bronze this time. I am just
talking about an allover rosy glow that makes you look happy.
Smashbox Soft Lights is more than just a blush,its a
powder that enhances a natural glow. I can see why its a
2008 Best of Sephora Nominee,as its easy to come up
with many ideas on how to use this. Here's a few of my
favorite ideas.
1-Brush a little dark eyeshadow on the lid,then brush a
little Soft Lights over the eyelid and over on the crease,
too. Add a little black eyeliner and mascara and you got
a shimmery nighttime look.
2-Cut out and crumble Soft Lights powder and mix it up with some moisturizing lotion and rub onto your skin for a summery glow.
Here are the five lovely shades:Glow,Highlight,Prism,Shimmer and Tint.
No matter your tone,you should get all of these different
shades because they are so versaitile.

Its hard to find the perfect hairdryer. You've got several
things to look for when selecting the right hairdryer,like
ionic technology and a cool shot setting that will set your
hairstyle or blowout. Conair 1875 Watt Ion Shine Cermaic Styler
is just that and more. This sleek red dryer also has Tourmaline
Ceramic technology to keep from damaging your locks. This is
crucial since I know there are those who use their hairdryer
frequently,and nobody wants their hair to be damaged. That
would defeat the purpose of styling. You've also got three
heat settings and a concentrater. And for those who love
easy to use beauty tools its also got an easy soft grip
handle(perfect for me,I am a bit klutzy!)and a hang loop
for easy storage.
You've got to check this dryer out! What hairdryers make
you excited?

Here's a new limited edition perfume from Victoria's Secret.
Very Sexy Now is a fresh,fun and feminine scent that could define Summer 2008. The ingredients list like a fruit salad,with notes of glazed apple,melon,pineapple pulp and of course,peach.But
you've also got tropical floral notes to give a more garden-esque freshness,like magnolia petals,and jasmine. To top it off you've got vanilla,sandalwood,and musks to make it a perfect perfume. Even if you can't escape to tropical paradise,this will take you there.

Sephora:The Ultimate Guide To Makeup,Skin and Hair book review

Sephora:The Ultimate
Guide To Makeup,Skin and Hair
by Melissa Shweiger
This book came out in March 2008,but I finally got
it today. I've been wanting this book for awhile
since the first time I saw it with my mom at Barnes
and Noble. Is it worth buying? Oh yeah! Its packed
with everything you wanted to know about looking your
best and then some.
This book is packed with a ton of beauty tricks
and tips,questions and answers,advice from the
experts and a good list of what you should get.
My favorite tips include how to get sexy beach
waves,how to plump up your lips, and how to
contour your cheekbones. They even have a model
make-over showing how they go from usual to glam
to covergirl. You can also learn about beauty
ingredients and beauty predictions for the future.
I just got the book today but I already learned
a lot from it. I really recommend this book for
anyone serious about looking your best.

The Great Mineral Makeup Search-Illuminare Liquid Mineral Makeup
2 comments Posted by shopinchic at 5:40 PMRemember about over a week ago this post,The Great Mineral Search:Clinique Almost Powder SPF 21 ? Well I will say that there is indeed something even better out there,its called Illuminare Liquid Mineral Makeup This is a true liquid makeup,so unlike the powders this is better coverage plus it actually moisturizes. Now I have dry skin so I feel a big difference. Plus its got SPF 21,something I cannot stress enough. Now I have a new favorite!
Now there are three different formulas to choose from:
Fantastic Finish:This is great for people who want a fresh,dewy look as it contains moisturizer.
Extra Coverage:If you want a semi-matte look,this is for you.
It also contains a concealer.
Ultimate Finish:This is a great lasting makeup that stays put
no matter what.You really can't rub it off or sweat it
off(I live in a hot and humid climate so I know)
In five different shades with very clever names.
BTW-This uber-cute Fast Application Pad is another must from Illuminare Cosmetics. Its a reusable pad that makes makeup application feel a bit like a face massage. Its also got a mesh center that,unlike a sponge,doesn't absorb you makeup and trap it.
You can also drop this in your washing machine to easily clean it.

It looks a lot like candy(a lollipop to be exact)but its
really a fragrant bath bomb and a pillow of body oil(its
the small package on the stick).Its Davies Gate Bath
Fizz Pop with Body Oil Filling What a spa treat! Just
drop the fizzy bath bomb into a tub full of warm water
and fill the bathtub with sugar plum scented oils. Don't
forget to drop the fragrant pillow in the tub(or sink)
so that when you get out of the tub you can massage your
skin with the scented moisturizing pillow.
It also contains light smells of peach and vanilla. Its
a lot cheaper than a spa,plus you can relax without booking
an appointment which is nice when you're crushed for time.
Its available at Bath and Body Works for only $12.

Anyone who has smelled ginger(and really who hasn't?),knows that it can be a wonderful scent. Origins Ginger Essence is a fun,flirty fragrance with ginger,lemon,lime and bergamot. Its a special fragrance that spicy yet feminine;calming yet energizing,its a bit of everything.
It canonly be a scent thats fresh and tangy at the same time. Because of this I am surprised that there are not a lot of scents that incorporate ginger. Its
available at Origins for $37.

What is a cosmetic allergy?
Cosmetic allergies,like an allergy,means you are have an allergic reaction to a certain chemical or enviromental product. A cosmetic allergy is an allergy to the chemical compounds that make up the cosmetic.
How do I know if I have a allergy to cosmetics?
The question is do you have an adverse reaction to the cosmetics you wear. Does your skin become red? Does it swell? Do you get itchy hives? If your answer is yes to any of these questions then yes you probably have an allergy to a type of cosmetic or a certain chemical compund in the cosmetic. Stop wearing them and see if it doesn't get better. If it doesn't, its probably caused by something else,but you should see a doctor anyway.
Cosmetic allergies can also effect eyes,lips or nose. Sometimes it also effect other parts of the body. Cosmetic allergies affect at least 10% of the population.
Cosmetic Allergies on WebMD
What do I do if I have an allergy to makeup? Does this mean that I cannot wear any cosmetics?
If possible,try to read the back of the label of the product. Remember that irritations and allergies can also be caused by other products such as soaps,shampoos,body washes and even fragrances. Check with your doctor for more information on what are common triggers of cosmetic allergies. Once you know you can avoid products with the same ingredients that caused the reaction.
Often its best to go with hypoallergenic cosmetics such as Almay,which you can buy for cheap at a drugstore. Another good option is organic makeup,or beauty products with more natural ingredients. Some of my faves include Burt's Bees,Lush,Fresh,and Juice Beauty
Almay
Burt's Bees
Lush
Fresh
Juice Beauty Sensitive Skincare Line(they also have several other different lines for different skin issues,but its still natural)
Fresh Sugar lipgloss is sexy and fresh! Check out my previous Fresh post.
Although it may look less than glam,I can honestly say Burt's Bees products work and smell like a dream! Check out my previous Burt's Bees post.

The Great Mineral Makeup Search-Clinque Almost Powder SPF 15
2 comments Posted by shopinchic at 3:14 PM
Right now mineral cosmetics are big,in fact I cannot name one company who does not have a line of mineral cosmetics. Right now I am big on finding makeup with SPF because its summer time,and it just does not make any sense to layer sunscreen and foundation,powder and all that. So lets just say here is at least one perfect solution:Clinque Almost Powder
Makeup SPF 15.
Clinique's newest light foundation powder that is so light you would forget that you're even wearing makeup. Plus its comforting to know that you've got SPF 15 to protect your skin. It gives a pretty glow,a flawless finish and feels fresh to wear. Once you discover this you will no doubt trash all your other foundations.
I am still on the search for more similar makeup,if anyone can find a makeup to compete with this,please let me know. I love to discover new products and I am always welcome to recommendations. he

Yesterday the world of fashion has lost a legend,
Yves Saint Laurent has died at the age of 71
in Paris. Yves helped shape the modern fashion
world and invented daring styles for women,like
the pantsuit and mondrian shift dress. He redefined
style and made Paris France the fashion capitol it
is today.
Even though he retired in 2002, his Rive Gauche
stores still carry his named line.
Farewell to a fashion legend.

Now thats something,a fragrance thats actually
