Mellow Yellow at Cannes

Cannes sets summer fashion in swing for some, and this year yellow ruled the carpet. Several stars showed up in striking yellow dresses. Dame Helen did it best with a soft beauty, but Angelina lookd great too, she just needs to put a few pounds back on.

Is this a trend- yellow dresses and more? I kind of like it.

Bye Bye Blemish

I posted about the great Mario Badescu Drying Cream, and recently I came to find another very similar product. This one is called Bye Bye Blemish and is most likely easier to come by, and less expensive.

The idea is the same, a sulfur based solution that you dab as is on acne spots. It dries them up super fast. I have used this and think it worked quite well. It sells at Ulta stores, online at Drugstore.com and is 9.99 retail( 8.99 at Drugstore.com)

The line has other products as well. I have not tried those, but they all are made for geting rid of acne.

MAC Moonbathe Update

Having had the chance to test drive a few of the Moonbathe items, I thought I would update.


Clair De Lune eyeshadow( pictured) : A very pale shade with an iridescent shimmer. Reminds of a much paler version of Arena. 2 shades paler, although it is a flesh tone almost. Very nice base shadow.


Cosmic eyeshadow- A medium bronzey gold , high shimmer in gold. A beauty.

Afterdusk Sheertone Blush- This is lovely, a medium sheer shimmery golden pink. Looks plum almost in compact, but isn't .

Eclipse lipstick- a very deep, dark rust shade. Layered with gold shimmer. For deeper skin tones, this is great.

I also like the white containers
