Fab Finding Follow Up: A New Eye Cream

Last week I ranted and raved - not in a good way - about my current eye cream situation.

Last week I ranted and raved - not in a good way - about my current eye cream situation. I asked you all for your beauty advice and to help me Fab Find a new one. You all seemed very excited for this beauty challenge and this was one of the reasons we created Beauty Marks. The culprit was this Chella Intensive Formula Eye Crema, that was way too expensive ($100) for what it turned out to be.

To see all the finds click here. And the winner is...Clinique eye cream! I decided to go with a classic to prevent any disappointment. To learn what a Fab Find is and how to make one, click here.

Thanks for your help everyone!


Eye Cream #1, found by RCLdesigngirl, was mentioned by two of you and is made by such a classic cosmetic brand. The Clinique Advanced Stop Signs Eye SPF 15, is $32.50 and I can't wait to try it! Here's what RCLdesigngirl had to say about it: It moisturizes without feeling sticky, it doesn't form a film on the surface of your skin, and it does what it says!

In case you hadn't heard...FabSugar's Look Book has gone global!

In case you hadn't heard...FabSugar's Look Book has gone global! I started a group called the Overseas Fashionista Look Book where those of you who are living abroad can share your Looks too. Today's Look of The Day was provided by our Paris correspondent Mme Hart. She is the TeamSugar Look Book Look of the Day! To join this group, click here and to submit a Look in this group learn how to post a blog.

According to our Mme Hart:

"Since the changing of the seasons, women all over Paris have been seen sporting coats (long or cropped) in Winter White. I wore mine the other day and had 4 guys try to chat with me, so trust me ladies, the long black coat is always in style, but sometimes it's fun to spice it up in a creamy, luxurious coat!"

Check out this sophisticated wintery look:

I just love Paris in the background!

Here's what she's wearing:

  • White Coat: Zara
  • Black Turleneck: Esprit
  • Black Scarf: Galeries Lafayette

Fab Face: Kinga Rajzac

This nineteen year old beauty hails from Slovakia.

This nineteen year old beauty hails from Slovakia. She was another Fab Face popping up on the runways this season and I think she's adorable. She looks like a doll with her big blue eyes, wide nose and long full hair. She can portray flirty and fun and also serious and sophisticated. In honor of Beauty Week here at FabSugar, Kinga admits: "Though I always find sitting through makeup torture, those 20 seconds of catwalk are always a complete adrenaline rush." I'm sure it is. Check her out:

Come Party With Me

YumSugar Preview: Come Party With Me - Holiday Cocktail

The holidays are just around the corner and we're happy to announce that YumSugar.com will be here just in time.

The holidays are just around the corner and we're happy to announce that YumSugar.com will be here just in time. Starting this Friday, YumSugar.com will be your go to place for delicious recipes, entertaining tips and festive cocktails. See below for a sneak peek:

This week why not plan a cocktail party for you and your friends? The perfect event where ready made meets homemade, a quick, easy holiday themed get together can be thrown any night of the week. For all of the details (invite ideas, serving suggestions, decorations schemes, musical playlists, divine drinks) on how to host this party, see below.

Invites: Make simple invites by cutting out the shape of an ornament (or use this template) on metallic card stock or colored wrapping paper. Write out the super important details of your party-date, time, location, formality-on the back. Slide into an envelope and send. Too busy to send out formal invites? Decided you want to throw this party in three hours? Have no fear: write a text-invitation and send it to all of your friends.

Menu: Don't worry even if you aren't a kitchen goddess, you can still host a fabulous cocktail party by using mostly store bought items. Make one simple yet super tasty tiny bite or decadent dip and assemble the rest of your menu. Assemble a cheese platter: purchase one each of your favorite types of hard, semi soft, and soft cheese. Plate with crackers, baguette toasts, grapes, and bread sticks. Lay out slices of salami, prosciutto, and honeyed turkey on another plate. Fill bowls with mixed nuts, olives, and pretzels. For a sweet treat purchase Christmas themed cookies from your local bakery. Or fill silver bowls with red and green M&Ms, Hershey kisses, and candy canes.

Facial

The Best bliss Facial is All Bottled Up

Have you ever heard of the bliss triple oxygen treatment™ facial?

Have you ever heard of the bliss triple oxygen treatment™ facial? This facial is 85 minutes of miraculous face time - it is bliss's number one treatment. The idea is to open your skin to let more oxygen in; more oxygen means more energy for all of the biochemical processes required by your body to keep your skin functioning like it’s ‘young.’ So why am I ranting about this facial that is only available in a select cities? Bliss is so on top of things, they have bottled their number one bestseller. The bliss Triple Oxygen™ Instant Energizing Mask" is newly available for $52.

Unfortunately this hot item is back ordered until Jan 10, 2007, but you can place an advance order. Besides, you'll need a pick-me-up post-holidays and I promise the oxygen-inducing tingly sensation of this mask will do the trick.
