mac-candy-yum-yum-lipstickWhat is in your beauty shopping bag this week? Well, let’s take a quick look at what a few of our favorite bloggers are suggesting:

From Afrobella she is suggesting six items including:

fig washNyakio Giant Fig Body Wash. If you’re looking for high end, high quality bath and body products that infuse moisture to the skin, you need to know about Nyakio. Founded by the beautiful Nyakio Kamoche Grieco, it is a product line inspired by her Kenyan heritage and infused with her family beauty secrets.  This body wash sounds fruity but it’s actually sensual, feminine, and sumptuously scented. I’m not a big fig consumer but the scent of this body wash is heavenly and sexy. I love it!”

Fashion Bomb Daily is spotlighting how you can look fabulous wearing Candy Yum Yum lipstick by MAC? What do you think is it TOO pink for you? Or are you willing to be BOLD this spring?

“If you’re into softer, sultry scents then the Nude by Rihanna and Nine West ‘Love Fury’ are definitely for you. And can I just say how obsessed I am with the Nine West fragrance?!  It smells divine and easily beats out the designer, higher-end fragrances in my opinion.”
