Come Monday...weekly newsletter

How's everyone doing today? I hope you all had a great weekend! I've got some more information on the China Glaze Magnetix Collection for you, thanks to one of my kind followers, Vivian. She took the time to send me an eMail and attach a photo (below) of a poster she spotted at her local beauty supply store recently. Here's what she had to say: I went to my local beauty supply store today, and found a poster saying that the estimated release date is Jan. 15th. This store has been spot on with most of the collections so far (including the new Nicki Minaj and CG Electropop collections), so we might possibly find them in stores before the stated mid February date! The poster also had a clear picture of the actual magnetic, so it confirms that the 10 dollar price includes all 3 designs. Thank you to Vivian for taking the time to update us on this collection!


I always enjoy reading articles about cosmetics, and I came across one on the Financial Times web site that discusses some of the technology that inspires various beauty products, including Minx nail wraps. You can view the article here.

Today while strolling through the aisles in Walgreens, I came across tons of new products. I actually had quite a few of them in my basket, including Garnier's new beauty balm cream, Revlon Colorstay nail enamels, and L'Oreal Infallible 24 HR eye shadows, and their new balm. Something came over me though, and I put them all back on the shelves! I guess I'm still in my cleaning and purging mode that always seems to present itself after the New Year, and I decided that I really had more than enough products at home that I've yet to use. I'm still thinking about those products, so let's hope I don't cave in and go back for them! One item I saw that I thought was interesting--even though it didn't make it into my basket only to be put back--was Goody Hair Care's new DoubleWear elastics. These are nothing more than pony tail holders and head band, dressed up with metal pieces so they double as jewelry if you're not wearing them in your hair. These were priced at $5.99.

Just a reminder that my weekly Sunday Beauty Cafe is still open for comments on my Facebook fan page. This week the topic is Monthly Beauty Subscription Services, and it's open for comments until this evening. One random commenter is selected each week to receive a surprise beauty product(s).


Have a fabulous week, and keep positive thoughts for me that I don't go back to Walgreens and load up on all of the great products that are coming out!

I did some work at Walmart today and they were resetting the entire cosmetic area. I've made conscious effort to stay out of Walgreens and CVS stores because I have so much stuff already.

Ooh, I recognize the china glaze display! I frequent that store too! What a coincidence!

I love those Goody ponytail/headband things. Plus they double as jewelry! Cute. I'd love to buy all the latest cosmetic products. Problem is that I have a ton of stuff. I barely use any of it. I'd love to try them but do I really need it?
