My Kaboodle

We love when Kaboodlers share their thoughts about the things they've purchased. Recently K-Lister sweetshorty started using Wen Hair Care—which includes a cleansing conditioner, an alternative to typical shampoos. If you've ever seen Wen on QVC or late-night infomercials and been tempted to give it a try, check out sweetshorty's blog post all about her experiences using the products. (Sneak preview: She loves them!)

If there's one person's makeup advice we'd take without hesitation, it's Dita Von Teese's. The woman knows a thing or two about glamour and about makeup that stays put. When a fan on Twitter asked her for a recommendation for a smudge-proof lipstick to wear on her wedding day, Dita responded, "Lip-Ink goes beyond kiss-proof. It's sex-proof!" Well! That's enough to pique our interest!

The Lip-Ink pigment is made from the same stuff that is used to coat pills (kind of awesome!) and is said to have no texture when applied properly (there's a several-step process you need to follow). Individual lip colors are $22, but since you'll need the moisturizer and remover as well, the best way to try out the product seems to be to snag a mini kit ($41) that includes everything you need. You can choose any of the brand's 62 colors for your kit. There are even super-sparkly glitter versions—which Dita wears on stage.

A summer collection inspired by vintage pin-up girls, you say? Oh, MAC, you know how to make a cosmetics junkie happy! The brand's huge summer collection, called Hey, Sailor!, is chock-full of color for eyes, lips, and face in addition to season-appropriate bronzers (we're dying to try the To the Beach Body Oils!). The colors are bright and summery, as you'd expect, but they're not OTT. The classic pin-up vibe is definitely represented. Check out the entire collection right here—and if you want something, snag it quickly because items are selling out already!

We've mentioned our appreciation for Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb fragrance before, but there's no doubt it's an intense perfume. If you're looking for something a little lighter for this season, try the brand's summer scent, Flowerbomb La Vie En Rose ($80 for a 1.7-oz bottle). Top notes of tangerine, bergamot (our fave!), tea, and pink pepper give way to lily of the valley, rose, sugared almond, raspberry, and red forest fruits. The base notes of patchouli and amber retain the headiness of the original, making it perfect for those who are already fans of Viktor & Rolf's fragrances.

You have to love Sephora. Not only does it sell nearly every cosmetics brand you could ever want to buy, it also offers its own bargain-priced line of makeup. And, since we at Kaboodle HQ are always looking for a killer beauty bargain, we're always checking out with Sephora has to offer. Its Lush Flush Lip and Cheek Stain ($12) seems right up our alley. Formulated with red wine extract, it sounds like the stain will be long-wearing (think of how wine can stain your teeth!) and the gel formula means it should be easy to blend (liquid stains are much harder). Can't wait to try it.
