Sevin Nyne

There has been a lot of bad press surrounding Lindsay Lohan's new line of self-tanners, namely because she notoriously has the worst fake tan in Hollywood. Sevin Nyne Tanning Mist (named after Lohan's lucky numbers 7 & 9) promises to give you a professional looking "natural, caramel-infused kiss of color" in an easy-to-use spray can. In collaboration with celebrity airbrush tanner Lorit Simon, Lohan wanted to create a luxurious tanning mist that was once only available to Simon's celebrity clients. Infused with Goji Berry extract, known for its powerful antioxidant properties, and Chardonnay extracts to help keep the skin hydrated, Sevin Nyne Tanning Mist claims to provide an even, natural looking tan. The duo hopes to encourage men and women to stay out of the sun and "cherish their skin," and a portion of the proceeds benefits skin cancer awareness charities.

The self-tanner has actually had really great reviews, particularly from red heads who say that is very natural looking and not orange at all. I am lucky enough to have two best friends who are gorgeous redheads, so I am very familiar with their pale-skin struggles. One of the girls, god bless her, had an unfortunate run in with a bad spray tan...she came out looking like a lobster. Hopefully as a redhead herself, Lohan has finally come up with the answer. Sevin Nyne Tanning Mist costs $35 and can be found at Sephora.

Ps. Here is a hilarious new eharmony spoof that Lindsay made for your viewing pleasure.

Bumpit

I am a sucker for infomercials...I really have a problem. Whether it is a rotating hairbrush, turbojams or the magic bullet, I see it, I want it. The only thing that comes between me and a house full of useless as-seen-on-tv products is the fact that I don't own a credit card. My mother won't let me. I have no idea why. ahem.

Well, last week I decided that enough is enough. I am an adult now, about to embark on a real job in the real world with a real blackberry, so I went to my bank and signed up for a credit card. For emergencies only, of course.

Then I saw an infomercial on tv for Bumpit, and I felt that familiar urge to pick up the phone in the next 20 minutes and recieve not one, not two, but three bumpits for only $20. But wait! free shipping and handling? ok...maybe I could just make this one purchase....I need to christen the card with a treat for myself right? I will start the emergencies rule tomorrow.

But what is a Bumpit you ask?

It is a plastic hairpiece that boosts volume at the crown of your head and basically creates a volumized teased look without the teasing. The ads for bumpit are pretty horrific, and most of the women in the before and after pics look like 80's cheerleaders from Texas, but I have always had problems with teasing my hair and I love the volumized look, so I thought I would give it a try. Plus I heard that bumpits are behind Blair Waldorf's gorgeous uplifted headband looks on Gossip Girl.

My Bumpits haven't arrived in the mail yet, but watch this space for a full review! In the mean time, here is the website so you can order your own.

Dear Stila,

Thank you for bringing us wonderful treats for so many years, you will be sorely missed. The bad economy may have robbed you of your life, but you will live forvever in our hearts.

In 2001 a bright eyed excited 16 year old girl went to Holt Renfrew in Toronto and tried your eyeshadow in "Mystic." It was a light, shimmery sky blue in your signature silver cardboard packaging, and it was beautiful. You were my first ever $30 eyeshadow, and from that moment on I was hooked. I still to this day have never worn that eyeshadow, it is too pretty. I often get it out and stare at it, swirl my finger wistfully in the silky pot, relishing in its untouched perfection. Your smudge pots are so delightfully smudgy yet precise, you brought my smoky bedroom eyes to new heights. Oh and your lip glaze with that convenient clicky pen...I will be forever dreaming of the creamy apricot shade...the perfect nude. And don't even get me started on Kitten eyeshadow...it hurts too much....sigh.

Rest in peace. I will never forget you.

Love Lizzie xoxo
