Happy weekend everyone! We are back on schedule with posting and I would love to hear how you’re liking this series.
The issue I read back to back is All You Issue 6 for June 26, 2009 with the main article of losing weight in a week on the cover.
I found the article about updating the nude face a refreshing change to all the other new and trendy looks we hear about, because this is something every gal turns to year in and year out. Here’s some advice on how to update your nude look for the times:
The magazine talked about losing weight in seven days as a form of a master cleanse that many people hear about. They gave a recipe for a drink in the morning, advised that you eat a full meal midday and that you top it off with tea in the evening. Being that this is a drastic reduction in caloric intake, they wisely recommend that this only be followed for 7 days as a jump start or a cleanse for your system. Though this always sounds like the thing that I need to do, I know myself too well to know that this will be more torture – so my fitness regimen since mid-May has been to drink uber amounts of water and to cut down on the late night food binges with some workouts to replace those. I have lost 5lbs so far and look forward to updating you on the rest!
If you feel like you have some extra pounds, or if you’re at your goal, remember that confidence, comfort, and health are the only things that ever matter. Clothes and women come in all sizes!
Also – the magazine was offering another makeup tip – the new trend of pairing gray and pink together. This is a combination that many of you have probably tried out already, but since I was enjoying the article, I decided to do an inspiration board for y’all!

Remember when I promised to review the Pixi palette?
I finally got around to using it for a look, and to see how portable and pigmented it is.
What it is:
This is a cosmetics brand from the UK by Petra Strand. Most of the makeup is portable and travel friendly. This is a limited edition collaboration with Target.
There is an extensive line of products, but I only bought the palettes. The Palettes are $28 each, and can be found here. Also make sure to click on the link to see the video with Petra. I tried to embed it but they didn’t have a link.
Review (5 highest, 1 lowest):
Packaging: 3 out of 5 (the polish is a little misleading, as the palette is super duper thin)
Price: 3 out of 5 ($28 Limited Edition at Target)
Quality: 4 out of 5 (they are not super pigmented, but when you use a brush, they go on and stay on very well)
Overall: 3.5 out of 5
My Verdict:
Though very cute and very portable, this didn’t become a huge win for me because it was so tiny and didn’t seem worth the price.
It comes with a mirror and two sided brush. The brush is alright but not great.
Don’t get me wrong – the shadows are of a great consistency and pigmentation, and the packaging is cute and fits in with everything. I just wouldn’t recommend anyone spending that money when they could get more volume for the buck.
Have you tried this out? What do you think?
[[edit]] ok this was another scheduling snafu that didn’t go through on time. Better late than never!
Happy weekend everyone! For this issue of Magazine Weekend, we are welcoming June in!
The issue we’re perusing now is SELF for June 2009 with the lovely Beyonce Knowles on the cover.
As the summer fast approaches, I thought the article about meltproofing your makeup by Eleanor Langston was the most appropriate to feature. And if you wanted to catch more goodies? Well you can get the mag for yourself!
Here’s what I got for ya:

Happy weekend everyone! For this issue of Magazine Weekend, though June has hit, I am bringing back just one more May tidbit for ya.
It comes from Women’s Health for May 2009.
The May issue has Miss Zoe from Star Trek on the cover, and plenty of get fit details that everyone can enjoy.
What I found most interesting?
They tell you how to take best care of your jewelry if you dare to bring it to your summer destination – though really, that’s not the best idea (unless you bought it at Forever 21 – in which case, it wouldn’t be too extreme a loss financially).
