Spring tease

Denver is getting a sneak peek of spring today -- the sun is bright and the sky is blue! It's enough to give everything (even daily chores) a silver lining. Speaking of silver lining for your day, the beautiful glominerals spring collection is now available. We've got your precious metals covered with the new gloMetallic smoky eye kit . And your spring glo is perfectly accented with the gloShimmer brick in gleam for eyes, cheeks and all over glo. (Incidentally, the gloShimmer brick's shades look divine with a real silver lining -- check out the gloEye divine look here.) So smoke up your eyes and finish off your look with what I'm still stuck on: the perfectly rosy gold gloGloss in brown sugar. You'll be as irresistible as spring.

lips like sugar

It's all about spring at glo headquarters in Denver! Even though flurries fell last night, we're living in a world of rosy golds and classic neutrals. Spring has lots of perks-longer days, more sunshine, fresh flowers... but what I'm loving is soon-to-launch gloGloss in brown sugar. It's just about as perfect a shade as I could imagine. The color is a rosy natural hue with a touch shimmer that's well, just like the sugar it's named for.
The glominerals spring collection will be available March 1, 2010.

glitzy glam for happy 2010

December 31st is one of my absolute favorite days, or rather, nights of the year. It's New Year's Eve's no-holds-barred-get-glam-and-be-edgy style that I just love to love. And this year is no different. I've scoured Spring runway looks because if there's a night I can wear runway hair and makeup it's tomorrow! I've got some great ideas and I've pulled together some of glo's fabulous hues to take me fearlessly from 2009 to 2010. For my eyes, I'm definitely starting with gloLid primer (no girl wants a NYE eye shadow look to end up under her eyes before the ball drops.) I'm also addicted to gloCream eyeliner, which I think I'll use in sapphire for a night like this. One gloEye shadow shade I'm also throwing in is mermaid - it has just the dazzle factor a new year's night craves. What are y'all wearing out to greet 2010?

holiday's got a hold on me

The holiday spirit has got a hold of me. I'm not generally the girl who scrubs radio stations for holiday tunes the day after Thanksgiving. In fact, I'm usually the All-that-crazy-holiday-chaos-can-wait-until-at-least-mid-December girl. But this year, I can't deny that I'm tapping my foot to carols (and even seeking them out!) It started this week when my roommates and I put up and decorated a real live Christmas tree. It's a first for all of us in our post-college lives. But the holiday spirit really took hold when I did my holiday present shopping! Giving gifts is one of my favorite things in the world (of course I love receiving them too!) and this year I had so many great glo ideas! Shhh... don't tell, but both my beautiful mother and sister are getting a shimmer brick in gleam. It is one of my personal favorites and it is so versitile. It has travelled with me for all of my weekend trips because it's great for all over glo or for a little highlight here and there and even for eye shadow. I'm also giving my sister the gloTint for cheeks and lips (Self mag loves it too) -- she will love that beautiful berry hue and how easy it is to use! I snagged a lot more that I can tell you about later. Happy holiday gift giving! If you need some ideas, let me know. Or if you have some great ideas, let everyone know!

Ruby love

I've always gone for playing up eyes over lips but the new gloRoyal lip crayon in regal ruby might have changed all of that in the blink of an eye. Here's what happened: I was rushing around this morning snagging keys, coat, snacks etc. trying to make it out the door on time for work when the regal ruby crayon our product manager had given me caught my eye. I was feeling impulsive (also I hadn't had a chance to do much for my eyes) so I popped off the cap and slid that regal ruby crayon right on my lips. Then a glance in the mirror. And Instant love. There is something about the application (this isn't new, everyone's saying the same thing!) that makes this lip crayon a pleasure. It's smooth and soft, but it stays put. Also, the crayon allowed me to put the color just exactly where I wanted it. Then there is this color. I'm in love with the your-lips'-natural-red-only-much-better hue and the way it gave me just the bit of glamour my otherwise harried morning hadn't allowed.

Here's the bonus (and the inspiration for this post) I just walked over to the mirror three hours, a cup of coffee and a bottle of water later, and my lips are still perfectly regal ruby!

Santa Fe-bound

Writing a blog on Friday afternoons just about guarantees that I'll have the weekend on my mind. Today is no different, especially since I'm road-tripping down from Denver to Santa Fe, New Mexico right after work. I'll be a southwestern desert novice but here's what I'm expecting: desert reds and tans and blue skies punctuated by a little bit of that hearty green that peeks through desert landscapes. Then of course there'll be the city and the lights and the night! I just can't wait so I've put together this little ensemble of some of glo's beautiful shades that get me even more excited for the weekend.
Speaking of the weekend... have you snagged your Freebie Friday gift from gloSkincare? It fits right in with those city lights and I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to get them for myself...
