Enbrightenment Britesmile Whitener + tarte lipgloss in pearly pink- $26

Lip gloss and teeth whitener in the same package? Amazing! And I was just thinking my smile could use a little brightening... Add tarte's t5 super fruit complex into the mix and it just seems too good to be true.

Wish this came in more colors, but hey, I'll take what I can get!

Tarte eyeshadow in Sweet Valley High (pictured) and Raspberry Beret- $14

The shimmery pale pink of Sweet Valley High is my

dream highlight shade. I love nothing more than a pretty pink dusting of shadow along the brow bone and in the inner corners of the eyes. It does the job and is also pretty and girly at the same time. I'm sure a lot of you feel the same way, in fact I know someone does because the shade is currently out of stock, but hopefully it will be back soon because it is gorgeous.

Natural Cheekstain in Bliss and Dollface (pictured)- $30

What would a list for tarte be without a cheekstain? No list at all! Bliss is a "warm peachy-pink" and Dollface is a "sheer candy pink with a touch of shimmer". Both are oh-so-pretty and amazing I don't think I can choose between them. It's like when you have two children, and they ask you who is your favorite you just take each one aside and let them know they're your favorite but it's "your little secret"... lol

In all seriousness :) I think Bliss is a great color for anyone. I think peachy colors can highlight brown or hazel eyes and they are a great meeting point between traditional blush and bronzers. Pink works in different ways on everyone, so it's very versatile, but can also be very fickle (especially when you add shimmer to the mix). You know what works for you!

Have an amazing weekend ladies! Let me know what you are up to!

Love yourself! In this case you only need one to tango!

Following the lead of my fellow beauty bloggers Tammy at Lazy Beautiful and Renee at Beauty Fool, I've decided to write on what I love about myself.

If you're lucky, you either grew up with healthy self esteem or you discovered it as you grew up. If you're unlucky, you struggle with your self-image and self-worth almost daily. Personally, I am a little bit of both. I truly love myself and would never in a million years want to be anyone else but sometimes society's and my own expectations are hard to get out from under.

So, in honor of building my self esteem and making those bad days a little better, here is what I love about myself:

• I love to smile and laugh! I bring joy and happiness to those around me whether it be at work, or to my friends and family.
• I am funny.
• I love my dark, naturally curly hair whether it is clean and bouncy, or sexy and unkempt, I think it looks fabulous all the time!
• I love that I am a "nice" person, but I don't let people walk all over me.
• I love that I am like a fierce mother bear with my boyfriend and younger brothers, if anyone messes with them, they have to deal with me (and it ain't pretty).
• I love that I am hardworking and trustworthy, I truly value my reputation.
• I love that I'm not afraid to express myself or to try new things!
• I love my small ankles and wrists.
• I love that I am a vegan and love animals (I am seriously obsessed), but I don't alienate the people in my life who do consume meat.
• I love that I love so much about myself that I could literally list hundreds of things!

I'm going to leave it at that for now! I think sometimes it's hard to see the beauty and light in yourself when you don't know how to look for it, but no matter how much you struggle with your self-image, your list of things you don't like about yourself should always be much shorter than the list of things you love about yourself! And if it isn't, I'm sure there are tons of people you know that would prove you wrong! Don't be afraid to reach out and let others help you if you need it.

Happy Friday (almost)!

P.S.- Does anyone else think the website is as annoying as I do?

The. Most. Amazing. Deal. Ever.

After my most recent Sephora.com splurge, at checkout I was asked if I wanted to add this Stila As Good As Golden Bronzer and Highlighter duo to my order for

$10, and I thought "Why not?".

I didn't realize what an amazing deal this was until I opened the box and saw two ridiculously

large full-sized Stila products, for $10 (a $60 value)!

Stila products are so lustworthy in general, but at this price,

why lust when you can buy?

Another great feature of this kit is that the bronzer has SPF 15.

The color is exactly how it appears in the compact (and on the website).

It gives a really nice, natural tan glow that isn't too shimmery

but not dull either (not orange at all).

I used it to contour my cheekbones and dusted a little along my forehead and jawbone.

When I put it on this morning I instantly felt so sexy.

Top it off with the highlighter on top of the cheekbones and along the

brow bone and you will positively glow!

This is such an amazing deal and perfect timing; right at the end of the summer season when everyone's complexion can use a little golden pick-me-up.

I hope you like my first round of self-taken pics, and I hope you love this deal as much as I do! Let me know what you think.

Love, iCandy

My new favorite show!

If you or your mom grew up during or before the 80's, you've probably seen the movie The Witches of Eastwick with Cher, Susan Sarandon, and Michelle Pfeiffer. If you haven't seen the movie, rent it and watch it with your best gals!

This past Wednesday ABC premiered their new show, Eastwick based on the 1987 movie. I love that the feisty, girl-power theme (best personified by a kick-ass Rebecca Romijn in the show) is still as obvious in the show as it is in the movie. Lindsay Price is adorable and sexy as a semi-awkward reporter who learns how to use her "feminine wiles" to her advantage, and Jamie Ray Newman (the redhead) plays a ridiculously busy mother with a total deadbeat husband. The show effortlessly mixes whimsy, magic, and drama to keep you entertained and interested.

I recorded the show on Wednesday mostly because I love Rebecca Romijn (and love her more playing a woman than playing a man who becomes a woman) and I also loved the original movie. I was completely mesmerized by it and now I am borderline obsessed. Maybe watching Practical Magic last weekend psyched me up for this show, but regardless, I love everything about it. Did you see it? Let me know what you thought or tune in next week Wednesday at 10 to decide for yourself!

love, iCandy
