I use this mask once a week.  It’s a conditioning clay mask From a Botanics line from Boots.  I absolutely love the texture it gives my face after I use it.  The consistency is a bit runnier than the average clay mask.  It NEEDS to be shaken before you use it …just a little note to those who don’t read directions beforehand.  Because it’s thinner on, it takes less time to dry and it’s super easy to wash off.  Plus, you get to walk around your home looking like the out-of-the-mud scene from Apocalypse Now!  It’s around $8.99 and considering you won’t be using it daily and a little goes a long way …it’s a bargain!

My VERY favorite mask was Freeman’s avocado and oatmeal.  It was absolute perfection (and around four bucks …and over twice the amount of product!) Evidently nobody else discovered it because I don’t really see it around on the shelves anymore.  You can still buy it easily online, but it’s not really worth the hassle with this good substitute in the store.

Do you know who else was anxiously awaiting to see the gleetastic take on GaGa?

GaGa!

Yesterday, GaGa mentioned how excited she was to see her music incorporated into the show. She said:

“I love Glee. I love the cast and the creativity of the writers. I went to a musical theatre school, and used to dream that someday the students would be singing my songs. Can’t wait for “Bad Romance” + “Poker Face” in Glee fashion!”

Poker Face was beautiful and the costumes in Bad Romance were pretty spot on!  What did she think?  Well, according to her Twitter:

GLEE WAS SO AMAZING! AH!!!!

Yeah, pretty much.


“family guy” clever as always

Family Guy has created an amusing campaign for their Emmy mailer this year.

Peter Griffin takes the cover emulating the Oscar-nominated flick, Precious. The tagline reads, “Vote for us or you’re racist.”

Other tag lines included in the packet:

“Family Guy – written by 8 WASPS, 6 Jews, 2 Asian and 1 Gay.

We peaked 3 years ago, so by your logic we should get an Emmy now

You have to vote for us — we did a holocaust episode

Family Guy with Tina Fey… Not really, we just want an Emmy”

Ha! Wait.  How have they NOT been showered in Emmys yet?! SOMEONE FIX THIS!  At least give them a cookie for the clever marketing campaign!

Lady Glee Ga

If there was EVER an episode of Glee not to be missed.  It’d be tonight’s episode.  The theme is “theatricality” but really it’s an homage to GaGa.  The cast has even been outfitted by Haus of GaGa.  I’ve seen the costumes, beautiful replicas.  I’ve heard some of the music (Glee good, but I’m always going to be partial to the original).  It’s going to be a really good time.  I cannot wait.   No seriously, can’t wait.  It’s gonna be so goooood! (I proceed to squeal like a teenager).

robert pattinson is a “full house” fan?

Robert Pattinson spent some of his time this past weekend drinking beers with Bob Saget (and others that aren’t nearly as interesting nor as amusing to me) at John Stamos‘ house to celebrate Danny Tanner’s 54th birthday!  Stamos took to his Twitter to say this:

Who has better hair: Uncle Jesse or Robert P? mr. p. was a total gentleman- and cooler then me in every possible way-

That’s awesome.

Okay, in actuality, Pattinson was brought to the party by his agent Stephanie Ritz (who is friends with Saget).  So it’s more a matter of LA favors.  Perhaps she knew Saget thought getting the best Edward Cullen impersonator in the business to come to his birthday party was better than a stripper or a clown?  That’s a pal!
