Buxom, Baby.

I'm SO in love with this Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Balm from Bare Escentuals. I happened upon it by sheer accident when I stopped at Sephora after a long day of shopping to freshen my makeup before heading out for the evening (holy cheap-o, hah).

It's not at all greasy or sticky but kind of smooth and super tingly. I am partial to the Portofino colour (pictured above), which is not at all as dark as it appears. It's a nice way to get colour on your lips without going too matte. Red lips are making a steady comeback and as I am obeying my Cardinal Rule of Fashion (if you participated in the trend the first time, you are too old to do it on the second round), I am looking to tone down the crimson kisser for 2010. Oh, and another awesome bonus? Paraben-free! Whee!

Redbook likes the S10 Stella & Dot Collection.

So much so that they have featured not one but two of the gorgeous necklaces. The delightfully quirky chartreuse-hued Palm Necklace with Starfish Brooch and the Mexican sea-inspired Cortez Turquoise and Suede Necklace.

These particular styles look so great paired with the colour of this season - navy. 

Nautical stripes of navy and white look sharp with the Palm tripled with the brooch off to the side. The yellow-green beads are separated by hand knotted turquoise silk threads for an unexpected pop of colour relating back to the whimsical enamel and hand-set pave crystal starfish.

The chocolate brown suede of the Cortez necklace feels so luxurious around your neck and the three different shaped beads add interest to any outfit.
