Obsession Du Jour Milk Soy Creme 5.18.10

This has been one of my long time favorite beauty items. My best friend Stephanie and I found this in a random store in Syracuse when we were in college. Its by the brand Archipelago Botanicals and the specific product is Milk Soy Creme. It is a tad pricey, not expensive but not cheap, the tube retails for $18.95.

This body creme comes in a plastic tube, I love the packaging. Anywho, it is very moisturizing and travel friendly. However, the best part is the smell. I don't know if I can even describe it. It is the most amazing smell ever. Its a very soft, clean and subtle smell but its beyond delicious, I could smell this all day long. I use it all the time just to smell it.

Onto the product itself, its moisturizing without leaving behind the greasy feel that I hate. Personally, I will never be without a tube of this!

Will you pick this up? Have you tried anything from this line?

Nude Lip Du Jour; YSL VS MAC

Showdown of the Nude Lip.
YSL Nude Beige #1 Rouge Volupte VS infamous MAC Bare Slimshine.
MAC Bare Slimshine
YSL Nude Beige #1 Rouge Volupte

Results:

YSL Rouge Volupte is a lipstick, it is SUPER creamy, feels moisturizing. It is a matte finish. This is very very pigmented. This is more of a concealor looking nude (comparable to myth and fleshpot by mac but not AS concealor looking as those two). I feel that this is a cooler nude. YSL lipsticks have a delicious melon smell to them. I would be careful of wearing this color and lipstick if your lips are not perfectly moisturized. If they are dry dont go near this. $34.00

MAC's Bare is a Slimshine which means its glossier, a mix between a lipstick and a gloss. It feels moisturizing while still being quite pigmented. This is definitley a great everyday color. It is a nude without being too nude and concealor-y. It has peachy/warm undertones. Slimshines have a nice vanilla smell to them. This is more of a forgiving, easy formula just to slather on whenever and wherever. $14.50

Winner:
YSL Rouge Volupte.
This is the absolute perfect nude for me so far, yes it is pricey but I will never be without this.
Perfect, creamy, moisturizing, pigmented and flattering.

What is your holy grail, can not live without nude?!
