Burt's Bees Orange Essence Facial Cleanser

Review: The Burt's Bees Orange Essence Facial Cleanser is a 100% natural product and one of my favorite scented cleansers. Its citrus smell definitely wakes you up during the morning. I have a travel size tube which I brought me with on my vacation. Every morning after I used this, I was awake and refreshed. The orange oils calmed my skin and it felt nice & smooth after washing.

EcoTools Cosmetic bags by Alicia Silverstone

It's finally here! The EcoTools by Alicia Silverstone collection with cosmetic bags and brush sets are available this month (December) at your local Walgreens or online retailers such as Drugstore.com, which is cheaper than at Amazon.

(Note: Images are from Paris Presents, EcoTool's parent company.)

There are five different pieces you can choose from. All bags are made with natural hemp material and the lining of the bags are made with recycled plastic. The more I look at them, the more I want to get them!!

If you haven't tried their brushes before and want some synthetic, soft brushes with sustainable bamboo handles, you can get either:

the 5pc Brush Set & Bag	Cosmetic Brush Bag with a limited edition blush brush

The other three options are cosmetic bags only with a beautiful floral design that is printed with non-toxic inks. In order of price (high to low) and left to right, is the Overnight Bag which is not a duffel bag but just a larger cosmetic bag, the Train case, and a regular cosmetic bag.



Wouldn't you like one of these, too? :)

Maybelline Eyestudio Eyeshadow Quads

Quick beauty finds from Vegas- Maybelline Eyestudio Eyeshadow Quads-

I saw this at the CVS on the Vegas strip and couldn't help but take a few pics to share. I didn't buy any but I will be on the lookout to see if they are selling these back home.

From what I hear, they have already been selling similar quads in Asia, and they are now just turning up in the States. What do you think?

They look iridescent and so sparkly! Gorgeous- yay or nay? They cost $9.99- which is probably why I did not purchase any..

They also have Lasting Drama by Eyestudio which are gel liners ($6.99) and Color Pearls ($9.99), which are two shades, shimmery eyeshades.

Bear Naked Cereal in Cranberry Raisin

A few months ago, I requested a sample of the Bear Naked 100% Pure & Natural Cereal in Cranberry Raisin. I had a choice of either this flavor or Banana Nut. I finally received it several weeks ago and it came in this little orange box, along with a coupon.

Based on the box, you can already tell what kind of company Bear Naked is.

Needless to say what I had for breakfast the next day... Review: I had my first Bear Naked granola experience this summer while I was on vacation- it was quite good. When I heard about the free sample offer, I figured-why not give this a try? The cereal is definitely delicious- it contains good for ingredients such as whole grain flakes, crunchy clusters and real cranberries! There is no artificial anything used to make this cereal so you taste all-natural flavors.

You can purchase your breakfast here for $4.49 for a 12.5 ounce bag at their Store website, or at your local market. If you become a Bear Den member (free to join) you get automatic discounts of 5% (may vary) every time you purchase on their web store. Enjoy!

2009 Shecky's NYC Holiday Night Out Recap

This year's Shecky's Holiday Night Out in NYC was so much fun! I went last year but the venue @Puck is so much better since there's more room to mingle. Also, if I recall correctly, the weather was horrible last year- it was pouring but this year, it was nice! I went on a Friday, but if you went on Saturday this year.. you may disagree (ie: the blizzard came.)

So Santa surprised me with two goodie bags :) Double the loot to use and share! I was one of the early birds so I got a nice train case from Beauty Fix!

If you want to see pictures of the goodie bag, you must request and comment below! Thanks! I'm trying to gauge interest in haul pictures..

Located the Puck Building in Soho, the event was spread out in three rooms with many vendors selling jewelry, stationary, crochet hats, socks, cosmetics, etc. I bought some gifts and also the cutest stationery from the Bonnie Marcus Collection. Stay tuned to my post featuring their products...

Also like previous Shecky's events, I participated in the Beer Tasting, sponsored by Bud Light.. yum! Trying new beers with different food pairings.




Of the four I tasted, my fave was Kirin Light because it was the lightest and tasted the best. I definitely did not like the Hoegaarden; it was cloudy and did not taste smooth at all.. yuk!

Overall, it was a fun shopping event to hang out and catch up with friends! If you would like to join me next time, let me know!

My goodie bag...enjoy!

Vegas in December

In case you were wondering where Beauty and All That has been, I took a mini-trip to Vegas. :) It has been about 7 years since I last visited and although the majority of the hotels were the same; there were many new ones I got to visit! :) Going there during the Holidays is especially fun because everyone is in the holiday spirit! There is also lots of festive decorations to see too.

Pictures to come soon!
