It has been one amazing week! Yet again, more positive reviews on Motives by Loren Ridinger.
The latest, hellobeautiful.com writer Alyson Mance, who is the lifestyle and beauty editor for Interactive One, gave Motives by Loren Ridinger rave reviews for its quality and consumer friendly price points.
You can read the review here, where she discusses Motives by Loren Ridinger pressed eye shadows and her love for their velvet feel and as as a party wearing to parties. Mance also enjoyed using the Motives Kohl Eyeliner, which she said was great for those nights when you don’t want your makeup wearing out before you do.
Mance, who admits she is not usually a fan of powder foundations, says she will wear the Liquid Powder Foundation with SPF 15 to parties and the times she is on camera because of the product’s easy application and great finish. Finally, Mance replaced her usual cheek stain with Motives Pressed Blush in Runway.

I always jump at any chance I get to share with the world my experience as a mother and business woman. Thank you, Aventura magazine!

I have a confession to make: I constantly break the rules of deodorant etiquette. Wait, wait–before you go assuming things–this doesn’t mean that I don’t wear deodorant; it simply means that I’m careless with how I apply it. No matter how hard I try, I can’t ever seem to keep those pesky deodorant stains off my clothing. I’ve tried numerous brands, from sprays to those that claim to go on “crystal-clear”, but I just can’t bear the thought of giving up my favorite brand, which works wonderfully at keeping me fresh ‘n’ clean, but (naturally) stains a hideous shade of chalky-white all over my beautiful, black clothing. Well, being the stubborn, online shop-a-holic that I am; I went on a quest to find a solution to my problem, and guess what–I found one! It’s called the Smudge-Sponge™, and it’s available through ShopGoGirl.com.
Pack of 4 Smudge-Sponge™ $13
Finally, someone came up with a great solution for removing deodorant stains without the use of water/detergents! The Smudge-Sponge™ simply wipes away deodorant and powder smudges. The thing that makes this product extra-great is the fact that it’s easily packable. I bought a few for Amber, threw one in my gym bag and one in my cosmetics bag (for those dressing room blunders). If you’re a deodorant etiquette abuser too, you’ll be as excited as I was with this product. I have more good news for you too! I was able to snag a “Hot Deal” on this product, which I want to share with you! From today until Sunday, May 31, get an extra 10% off your order at ShopGoGirl.com! Just enter the code MYFASHION at checkout.
I will forewarn you, however; the ShopGoGirl.com site is chock-full of travel-friendly goodies you’ll not want to live without, so come prepared to shop ;) I also picked up some LINT-ON-THE-GO-SHEETS!® (how convenient!) and CHIC™ double-sided apparel tape, which is so much easier than carrying around a needle and thread when you’re on-the-go. So, there you have it: ShopGoGirl.com, my “Instant Obsession” of the moment! Do you have an “Instant Obsession“? I’d love to hear all about it!

Loren
