This Week's Fab Favorite: Jessica Stroup

FabSugar — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 14:00:22 -0700

I never realized how pretty Jessica Stroup is until now. What a gorgeous girl! Not that she needs the help, but her freshly neutral nude and white Brian Reyes outfit is terribly adorable. The eggshell moiré embroidered skirt paired with a nude low-v top fits to a T and looks very comfortable. The 90210 star wore this to the Origins cosmetics launch of its nationwide cosmetics recycling program in celebration of Earth Month. It's such a great fit for the event: naturally beautiful. Nude Jimmy Choo "Corsica" sandals emphasize the neutral palette, but they're subtly sultry. Jewelry is kept to a minimum - a dainty gold bangle rests around her arm. Fresh faced and ready for Spring!

The Australian cosmetic company Rosie Jane Cosmetics is too cute for school. The creator, Rosie Jane Johnston, is dedicated to teaching women the right application of makeup by providing them the basics and in turn giving them the skills needed to create a flawless look. Her products are easy to use and darn cute. Her first product was the Rosie Jane Cheek Gloss, $24, shown here, and after its enormous success she added Eye Hints and Lip Dew - with these three items Rosie gave women a simple beauty routine consisting of just three items to create an easily achievable fresh faced look. You can buy these items and her newest additions via her simple lovely website.

Breath-Freshening Lip Glosses

FabSugar — Thu, 02 Nov 2006 16:08:22 -0800

Who would have thought that cosmetics could help your coffee breath? Yes, it's true. I already know and love C.O. Bigelow's Mentha Lip Shine, but now there are even more breath-freshening lip glosses on the market. For a fresh, minty sensation, just apply and inhale these glosses to conquer bad breath. Don't think that means you can skip the tooth-brushing, though; they haven't come up with a cavity-fighting lip gloss just yet. Here are some of my freshening finds.

Sugar Cosmetics Freshen Up Trio is a set of three sheer, breath-freshening mini lip glosses. The flavors include a clear, shimmery Peppermint, the sheer red Cinnamon, and my personal fave, a two-tone iridescent Wintergreen flavor. They are super shiny and tiny, so you can stash one in your purse, one in your desk, and one by the bed. Buy the set here for $28.

Bliss Breath-Freshening Lip Balm is more of a balm than a gloss. It has a crisp and cool feeling that softens with Vitamins E and A, aloe vera, and mint oil to really give you that confidence kicker. Buy it here for $14.

E.L.F. Cosmetics: Everything's a Dollar!

FabSugar — Wed, 20 Sep 2006 07:13:25 -0700

Cosmetics brand E.L.F. (short for "eyes, lips, face") bills itself as a provider of "value-priced cosmetics," and it really isn't kidding. With the exception of some multi-product gift sets, every single E.L.F. product costs just $1. If you're the type of person who likes to play around with makeup-and who isn't?-this is a great way to experiment with new shades and products without breaking the bank. Here are some of my picks.

Shimmering Facial Whip. This sparkly, peachy moisturizer brightens skin and adds color on the go. Available here.

Nail Polish Remover Pads. These no-mess pads are great for travel and have a fresh citrus scent to boot. Available here.

Two more, so read more

Super Glossy Lip Shine SPF 15. Gives your lips a glossy finish along with sun protection and a tasty grape-vanilla flavor. Available here.

Brightening Eye Color. These four-color shadow sets come in six different eye-opening palettes. Available here.

The Lush Life

FabSugar — Sun, 24 Sep 2006 10:13:01 -0700

Every girl knows that soothing baths are the bomb, and no brand understands this better than Lush. I first fell head over heels for Lush on a trip through London's Covent Garden almost ten years ago. As anyone who has visited one of their retail stores (located in more than 27 countries) can attest, Lush's counters of fresh, handmade cosmetics bear more resemblance to farmer's markets than makeup stores. At the heart of Lush's beauty philosophy are organic fruits and vegetables, essential oils, and non-animal tested products. Here are some of my favorite Lush products.

Lush's number-one best-seller is the hot-pink Sex Bomb. Scented with jasmine, ylang ylang, and sage oil, this bath bomb is guaranteed to give you a "balanced viewpoint and a clear mind" before your crazy night on the town. Buy one for $4.95 here.

To see the rest, read more

Lush's Honey I Washed the Kids Soap uses real honey and beeswax for a wonderfully sweet-smelling concoction. Buy a big bar here for $7.15.

The Tisty Toasty bath bomb, available for $4.85 here, contains a bouquet of seven real rosebuds encased in a rose-scented, heart shaped body. When the bath bomb fizzes, the petals float to the surface.

Not only are Lush's products affordable, but they also make a perfect gift for the girl who has everything! Who doesn't love to be clean?

Totally Genius Item: A Fragrance Pen

FabSugar — Tue, 15 Aug 2006 18:24:33 -0700

I don't know about you girls, but I find perfume completely untransportable. I am always afraid that my full bottles are going to leak all over my luggage and perfume samples are always messy and hard to keep track of. For these reasons, I am really excited about the BE Eau de Parfum Frangrance Pen. I also seem to be strangely attracted to any type of cosmetic in "pen" form, but that's probably another story. This pen has a roll-on applicator kind of like a roll-on deodorant. Oh yeah and did I mention it smells really good too?

According to the Shop Intuition website:

Long-time friends of the fashion world, Kristen Becker and John Eshaya have partnered to launch a fresh and modern designer fragrance line called "be." This is their first exclusive fragrance. A blend of Italian mandarin, pink peony, lily of the valley and rose damascena with a touch of sensual musk.

The 7.1 ml pen is Available herefor $45
