IN VOGUE: THE EDITOR'S EYE Review
I was so excited to hear about a new documentary from Vogue. IN VOGUE: THE EDITOR'S EYE is premiering exclusively on HBO on December 6. It is actually the 120th anniversary of Vogue--can you believe it? Vogue has been an icon for women's fashion for over 100 years. That is amazing to me.
IN VOGUE: THE EDITOR'S EYE takes a look at some of the world's most influential fashion images from editors like Anna Wintour and Grace Coddingston.
You get to hear stories from all the legendary editors like Anna Wintour and Grace Coddington as well as celebrated Vogue muses Nicole Kidman and Sarah Jessica Parker. Fashion industry icons like Vera Wang and Marc Jacobs share their experiences collaborating with all the Vogue photographers and editors.
It was fascinating to see and hear everyone reminiscing about fashion history through their own experiences. I highly recommend you watch this interesting fashion documentary--it is truly a must-see!

Covergirl Blast Flipstick Review
I was excited to receive several Covergirl blastflipsticks through a new BzzAgent campaign. I wanted to tell you a little more about them so you could consider them with all the parties and events coming up for Christmas and the holidays. I always love to get a new lipstick and lipgloss for holiday parties and especially for New Years Eve!
I love the look of these glossy lipsticks. It looks like Covergirl designed these so that you have a creamy but not matte finish and a more shimmery one in one tube so you can mix and match shades to create a variety of different looks. It is a great concept that I love. Less to carry around especially when you only want a smaller little purse for events but still great for everyday. It is great because it is like you’re getting two lipsticks at one price of $7.00-8.00 each. That is a pretty good deal.
Covergirl blastflipsticks glide on very easily and have some pretty colors. They are not super light...more like a lipstick than a lipgloss just so you know. I would say somewhere in between the two. All the shades I received through BzzAgent were fairly bright but went on my lips a little softer than they looked in the tube. So don't be nervous when you are looking because they definitely look a bit lighter on your lips.
You won't see a super glitter, sparkle to your lips on either side of the blastflipstick... it is more of a low-key shimmer which is nice. You don't have to worry about looking too overdone.Colors I received and tried:
- Vixen (pinkish peach and pinkish brown)
- Stunner (orange coral and metallic golden bronze)
- Minx (light golden brown and metallic darker brown)
Don't forget to "Like" COVERGIRL on Facebook too. You can also get the most up-to-date news on blastflipstick and other great COVERGIRL products by following COVERGIRL on Twitter and on Pinterest, and get inspired yourself, by checking out some of their stylish Pinboards too.
Disclaimer: I was sent this product through BzzAgent to review in exchange for my honest opinion.
