Guest Poster Here…..

by Nina on November 17, 2008

Don’t get freaked out but this is not Nina Knows Best coming to you, it is actually Cogski (aka “What are Chris & Jenna Up To?” you can check out my blog link on the right of Nina’s page I think it’s under Team Cogski). More specifically my name is Jenna and I am one of Nina’s real life bf’s. I am a lil nervous to be guest posting on her blog as this a big responsibility seeing that she has so many loyal fans and readers out there but I’m up for the job! But as most of you know she has been plagued with some tech issues as of late and most recently NO internet at all! Can you imagine? I can’t, I may curl up in bed and sleep the day away if the internet were to ever go away. So a moment of hope for Nina that her internet is up and running again soon. Until then she has asked me to write a guest post so you all don’t think she closed up shop.

Nina and I met at SIU back in the day and have been sorority housemates, Chicago roommates and bf’s for years! I miss Nina everyday and all of you I’m sure wish you had the pleasure of living with this busy body 5′ person! It’s quite an experience, lemme tell ya! :-)

I don’t really have anything to blog about regarding apparel or the latest and greatest gifts or anything new at Target but I thought I’d let you know about the GREATEST lip gloss ever made!!! It is by Benefit and can be purchased at the Benefit counter at Nordstrom or there is a Benefit store on Southport and Armitage in Chicago or you can always get it at Sephora. A friend of mine, Lena introduced me to this fabulous tube.
And I must note, the same girl, Lena also introduced me to the greatest mascara of all time. I have always been a Lancome Definicils girl even since high school!! But I am now officially cheating on Lancome and think Dior Show mascara is the best thing around for the lashes. Obviously it is made by Christian Dior I think it’s about the same as Lancome around $22-$25 and can be found at Nordstrom and/or Sephora.

Anyway back to the lipgloss….

The shade you have to get is called “Kiss Me.” I’m sure others are great too but this one is “it.” It’s the best shade to wear alone or over your other glosses or lipstick. I wear alone or mix it up with something else. It’s got the best shine EVER!!!! Trust me I have tried every gloss out there, for awhile I was faithful to Nars but now I’m a die hard on this Benefit one. It’s $16 and a great shade to enhance the natural color of your lips or to gloss up another shade. Just try it you know at Nordstrom or Sephora you can buy and take it home and return if you don’t like it so go get it. If you hate it you can return it (but you won’t).

As Nina would say “great stocking stuffer!”

Ok well that’s all I have for now, I guess I may be back if Nina doesn’t get the internet back but let’s hope she does as I’m sure she is in MAJOR blogger withdrawal.

Ok goodnight, Nina should be back tomorrow…

Always looking for new, fun lipgloss. Some would say I have an obsession with lipbalm!

Nina, good luck with the internet!
