Two things you never thing of at the same time: Madonna and suckers… somehow her latest album Hard Candy got me to thinking. If there’s any woman on the planet I’d like to go to for beauty advice it would be Madonna.  She’s no sucker or fool and by now she’s seen it all and then some.  If she likes a product or a line, for sure, it’s good.  Madonna’s choice to work long term with Gina Brooke (Artistic Director for shu uemura) speaks volumes about the makeup artist and the line. Follow the four easy steps to create a perfectly flawless look! hints for you, involves my fav lipstick Rouge Unlimited Crystal Shine Collection and eyes of feline.  You can also check out some Access Hollywood footage from the shu uemura homepage.

April showers bring May flowers?  April Showers May Bring flowers would be more appropriate.  I’m getting quite frustrated by the sluggish tulips and no-show crocus in my garden.  It’s enough to make me want to throw in the trowel and get a good stiff drink.  Thankfully body showering is much healthier and pleasant and I’m especially pleased to talk about a new product I’ve been using.

It is often said to make lemonade out of lemons but what I really love are limes.  I’ve quenched my thirst with a Brazilian bath and shower gel from Brazilian Fruit that has transported me to the beachside cafes and gum drop mountains of Rio.  The scent of Caipirinhas (a Brazilian drink made from rum, sugar and lime juice served on the rocks) is soothing and comforting.  The best part, there are NO parabens or mineral oil. 

Caipirinha shower gel is appropriate for all skin types, contains sugar cane and lemon pulp extracts to nourish your skin after a long day of work or play.  It’s important to note that the extract comes from lime pulp and will not cause photosensitivity to your skin.  I really love this at night, since I don’t go out to bars, it’s a nice compromise to carry the scent of a drink.    Check out the www.brazilbeautyproducts.com website for all the best skincare!

I have always loved AVON’s Skin So Soft, when I was working in Key West we’d have to be on the flightline @ dawn or dusk it would be a bug nightmare.  I loved seeing all the guys chip in to pay the Avon lady, it was hilarious.  We’d always keep bottles of this stuff to share to keep bugs away and that was before Bug Guard was added.  The original scent was enough to keep the mosquitos away. Both formulas are hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested.   Bug Guard Plus IR3535 Expedition SPF 30 is available in two versions, an unscented aerosol and a Pump Spray with a Gentle Breeze™ fragrance.

ooh how I love the packaging of this little product!  that bow is just too much, amazing little present for a girlfriend.  Rosie Jane Cheek Gloss comes in the cutest little white compact with mirror.  The idea is to have a little color on cheeks that isn’t dry which is great for a day where you don’t really want to wear make up.  Luv the Cheek Gloss on the lips for a look that defines lips without looking like you’re wearing anything. The scent is beach-y suntan lotion eau de coconut so it may make you crave sand.  Check out more product reviews and get the best industry news from CEW.

I’m very excited about this product, it’s a CEW finalist and a spin on something I used to do long ago.  Confession: I was an eyeshadow on lips maniac.  Everybody thought it was strange, but I would put an eye color on my lips before my wet ‘n wild lipstick and it would last through our lunch break.  Pro Glimmer Hook Up Powder is even better because it comes in a cute little tube and isn’t as dry as eye shadow - great lipstick base.

Make sure to try it and look for my review on Total Beauty soon.

Thanks to The Jet Set Girls for tagging me in the wild meme sweeping the blogosphere! I love their post because they write about eachothers quirks!  In a tell-tale post I will describe 6 quirks about myself. 

MY Quirks are mundane run-0f-the-mill variety exciting and noteworthy, here we go…
1.  I don’t particular like to use plush bath towels.  Those big fluffy towels look beautiful in the linen closet but when it comes to drying off I really like the thin, rough and abrasive type of towel that are hard to find nowadays.  I also can’t stand using fabric softener with my towels, I like them stiff.  If I had time I would iron them!

2.  Something I’ve learned about myself is I *have to* maintain a certain amount of stuff, having my this’s there and my what’s where? is time consuming but I’m a pack rat!  I’m convinced that the cereal boxes I’ve kept flattenned under boy2001’s bed, used Japanese phone cards tucked under my panty organizer, AOL cd’s etc… will rise in value and I will become the most famous pack rat of all!

3.  I can’t stand predictability.  I know it’s comforting for children so I appease them with a routine but in all other aspects of my life I try to diversify as much as possible.  You may have noticed that on this blog, I will have 5 posts in one day and none the next.  I could easily post date the launch of the post to have readers on a rationed feeding schedule.  That would be the orderly and sensible thing to do but that is NOT who I am so it’s not going to happen.  I will continue to post as the inspiration and impulse strikes and hit “Publish” without regret.

4.  I love to birdwatch.  I have 10 bird feeders around my front windows and I secretly despise the birds when they snub me and go to my neighbors.  Right now my Goldfinches are MIA and the Hummingbirds have not shown up yet this year- it’s still early but… I love when they hang out here and let me watch them through the window all day.  All of my family members have been trained to look for birds before attempting to enter the front door.  If there are birds they have to wait or go through the back entrance!

5.    I can only cut my hair if a famous celebrity is involved.  When I was a child I got a Mary Lou Retton hair cut and in the early 90’s I got a Demi Moore “Ghost” hair cut.  Scraggly longer hair since then.

6.  Not only do I love to use makeup, I love to look at it.  I have some posts coming up with the cutest little makeup packaging.  It’s just so pretty I can’t stand it.’
