We have never spent more than $400 on a handbag–anything more than that seems ridiculously indulgent.

However, this Chloe ‘Heloise’ bag has been keeping us up at night with its gorgeous dark silver lambskin finish and beautiful braided detailing.

We are not foolish enough to actually buy it, but we can certainly admire it from afar.

Have you seen the new must-have lip gloss for Fall 2008?

YSL Gloss Pur Black is the season’s darling, creating drama and intrigue with its transparent-yet-intense hue.

We’re totally into black nails but not so sure about black lips. You?

We’re loving these Lancome Juicy Tubes from the Maharani Collection .

We truly can’t pick just one—MUST. HAVE. THEM. ALL.

While in Los Angeles for the Total Beauty Blog Summit in May, we received a sample of RAW Minerals Mineral Foundation in Light 3.

The shade seemed a little dark for our skin at first, but now that summer is in full swing and our freckles are coming out to play, it’s nearly a perfect match.

We love how simple and easy this foundation is. We can achieve a full-coverage look in less than 10 seconds—and it lasts all day.

RAW Minerals contains no talc or alcohol and won’t clog pores. It has skin-enhancing active botanicals to smooth and firm skin and reduce the appearance of redness. The lighweight, hydrating formula leaves our skin feeling natural and clean.

If you go to their website now, you can try a sample of RAW Minerals for FREE!

*As with all mineral foundation, please do a patch test first to see if your skin is sensitive to this.
