Putting on lip gloss is really one of the easiest, commitment-free make-up items to apply — no mirror necessary, no time investment, and it travels well. Due to my hectic schedule, I’m always running around, so gloss has been something that I always carry with me, as it moisturizes and gives a dash, or a lot of color.
I recently tested out the Burt’s Bees Super Shiny Lip Gloss in one of the two new shades, Juicy Peach (the other is Sheer Lemon), and found it to have a pleasant citrus scent that wasn’t too overpowering, and felt less sticky/more smooth than other lip glosses I’ve tried. If you’re not a “shine” addict (I’m not) have no fear, the gloss isn’t heavily saturated with color nor sheen, so it’s actually more of a natural look. Burt’s Bees lives up to their eco-friendly standards with the lip gloss; it’s composed of 100% natural ingredients such as sunflower, almond, and castor seed oils, with the packaging made of 25% post-consumer recycled plastic. Retailing for $6.99, its definitely a great bargain compared to other glosses of similar caliber and double the price (but usually minus the natural ingredient factor!).

Tonight I spent several hours in the Liz Claiborne showroom space with some fabulous fellow bloggers and the one and only — Isaac Mizrahi! The event was to screen three promotional film shorts, entitled “Isaac Unplugged” from the fall 2009 ad campaign.
Each one was humorous and a bit cheeky, giving an inside to the world of fashion, Isaac, and naturally, the new look of Liz Claiborne under Isaac’s hand. In order to make the night more memorable, we were each given a Small Wander Digital Recorder by RCA, which was very easy to use, and I think even more lightweight than my Blackberry! After indulging in the Dylan’s Candy Bar treats, cupcakes, popcorn, and appetizers, I meandered over to the new collection on display.
The Isaac Mizrahi Collection for Liz Claiborne New York refreshes the brand as only Isaac can; pops of color, the best of American style, great knits and bags, and much more ruled the section. I truly believe Isaac can make the brand cross-generational, as I saw plenty of “share” pieces that my Mom and I can get. I also took home the book “How to Have Style” by isaac Mizrahi, in which Isaac re-styles real women with honest advice and funny anecdotes. Oh Isaac, how I love you so!

The winner of the Fashion Pulse Daily/Chickdowntwon & Love Quotes Scarf is Jessica B. of For Collins, Co! Congrats Jessica, and this is what she had to say about winning: “Oh my goodness! I won!! I can’t believe it! Thank You, Thank You, Thank you!!! I guess I will have to twitter about it now seeing as in I have NEVER won anything before! (And what a cool first thing to win!!)”
Jessica’s Love Quotes Styling Tip: “I love how sheer Love Quotes scarves are. They look great with just about anything you pair them with… They also work great as a shawl/wrap for cooler summer nights. 🙂 I think this fall I am going to have to wear them with blazers for an extra cozy/chic look at work!”
Thanks again to everyone who entered, and stay tuned for more fabulous fashion freebies!
