Soap, Chocolate, & the Perfect Pout

If you've been following me on FB lately, you'll see my current obsession with tiny beauty products (see my "Sammi Sized" series...she'd love her own blog, but she's trying Instagram and her own Pin Board first since she's more photogenic than she is well-written). Here are a few more of my current finds, loves, and time-wasters....


Kiehl's Rosa Acrtica Lightweight Cream 

I'm too lazy to research all the benefits of what Rosa Artica does, but I can tell you this cream is great at night because it has a light texture (translation: absorbs well), and it smells of lavender! (Great for drifting off to sleepy time).

 Flying Noir Chocolates
I attended the Northwest Chocolate Festival, and while I loved seeing all the local chocolate makers, I discovered this truly artistic new one based in California. The owner is a former artist who hand-paints each chocolate and package! And even better...they truly taste wonderful (without being over-the-top snobby, snooty, tastes-like-baking-chocolate-but-you're-supposed-to-love).
 
 


Soap Smash App
It's basically an untimedTetris with really cute soap bars since its sponsored by L'Occitane (how adorable is that??).  Watch out - its addictive!

 

 Red Lips
Yep, they're still hot. If you're still a little gun-shy, I recommend Kevyn Aucoin's glosses - more sheer than in the tube but layer well if you want more intensity.
If you're bolder, try Shiseido's Lacquer Rouge like I'm wearing in this pic (any of their colors would be worth a try since the formula is so great).
