I by no means am any beauty blogger – the similarities stop at the annoying video greetings (“Hey Guys” reference here). Though when Maybelline New York announced a sweet program where I’d get to try out a tackle box (well, train case) full of goodies, I jumped and hollered at the chance. Don’t bother trying to envision me hollering, it’s not attractive.
The hefty kit arrived bursting full of their new Eye Studio line – plush shadow sets (with brush), pearly shadow duos, sleek liners, and maximizing mascaras. Sweet. Atop of …

It’s a tangent – but I can’t say no to ice cream, especially when it involves waffles. Ben and Jerry’s has a contest going on right now where you can name their newest creation. The picture above? Me and my measly attempt to come up with something other than “Waffle-izer”. That and I had to share the hilarious media kit that was send over, complete with a cootie catcher (which I’ll admit to test driving).
A combination of vanilla ice cream, fudge covered waffle cone pieces and a fudge swirl, …

If you’ve gone to Shoppers Drug Mart anytime lately, you may have noticed a peculiar looking bottle perched near the entrance of the beauty department.
