Shopping Spy: Art of Shaving Event on April 28th at Bloomie's

If you've ever had a boyfriend with a prickly face, you know it's no fun kissing Mr. Cactus.  

The Art of Shaving is thinking of YOU girls and giving shaving cream away on April 28th at Bloomingdale's with a special "Upgrade Your Shave" event. The men's grooming brand is offering their luxurious, glycerine-based shaving cream for free (retail value, $14)** when you trade in his regular shaving cream (au revoir, Barbasol). Spend $100 on Art of Shaving products to receive a free $20 Bloomingdale's gift card.

A better product that provides a smoother shave might inspire your guy to shave more often.

Nudge him in the right direction by heading to out together, let's say, to pick up a gift for his mom "because Mother's Day is around the corner." One turn here, another there, and you're perusing Art of Shaving products in Bloomingdale's.  For the record, there is nothing wrong with telling a white lie to your guy in the name of metrosexualizing him up. You feel me? He will so thank you later.

 XOXO!

What's Hot at the Shiseido Counter at Bloomingdale's

I popped by Bloomingdale's in New York yesterday and at the Shiseido counter, spring is in full bloom.

Eyeshadows in Techno Gold, Purple Dawn and Moss.

Shimmering green cream eyeshadow in Moss will make you look as cute as a cricket chirping. This item is selling fast. Use just a little dab and blend the cream across your eyelids for an instantly pretty, youthful look.

Another must-have is Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eyeshadow in Techno Gold. Be Cleopatra-esque! You can apply this shadow on your eyes to dress up a simple outfit, like a white t-shirt and jeans, or a feminine pastel dress.

Meanwhile, Shimmering Cream Eyeshadow in Purple Dawn would be great with a dark navy or yellow dress. Don't be afraid to try contrasting colors for a high fashion look!

For the lips, Shiseido Shimmering Rouge lipstick in Iced Rose (RS 312) is delicious. This beautiful sorbet-colored lipstick is flying out the door.
