New Collection: Yves Saint Laurent Lights of Africa (Beauty Addict)

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:00:00 GMT

Yves Saint Laurent's summer collection, The Lights of Africa, is an earthy, bronzy color story in the same vein as Clarins Summer Fever and MAC Neo Sci-Fi. Frankly, I'm just surprised that the YSL collection doesn't include a bright pop of color like the others; teal, orange and fuchsia are practically de rigueur this season. The marquee item in this collection is the Soleil D'Afrique Collector

Next, Coco Chanel finds coca in her cocoa butter! (Begging the Question)

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:00:00 GMT

I got these new granola bars recently because the store was out of the ones I usually get. I actually tend to have several different kinds, but I often get these Quaker Chewy chocolate chunk ones that are low fat and only 90 calories. But they didn't have those, so I got the regular chocolate chunk, which I think are 100 calories and probably not a lot worse for you. But when I bit into one, I tasted...
