Crazy Rumors: HibisKiss Lip Color


Tropical
Light, lovely lip color.
SUPER hydrating.
Licorice-y, fruit-punch-y flavor--but in a good way.
The color stays longer than many other balm-colors.
Digging this!
Vegan, Cruelty-Free, & handmade to boot!!!

Maybelline Mineral Power™ Naturally Luminous Blush- True Peach

Click Here

Mineral make-up is all the rage. This very light, easy, smooth coverage is great for subtly. It's perfect for daytime or for a girl who wears little to no make-up and wants a natural look.

Bobbi Brown: Lip Quads


Pink
Four little squares of loveliness.
Rosy, glossy loveliness.
I think I need to get the Rose palette.
Maybe the Coral for summer?
Not only great colors, but the Quad tucks away so nicely in my purse.
The color that looks hot pink is not like that once it's on--just the 
perfect pinky-natural!

CURES by Avancé: Revital Eyes


Creamy lotion.
Has reduced the black birkens under my eyes to gray clutch--in 2 weeks.
I look like I've gotten enough sleep!
I'm seeing continued improvement.
LOVE IT!!!!!!

Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream


Yu-Be (pronounced "YOO-BEE") is the #1 selling medicated, vitamin-enriched skin care cream in Japan, according to the website. I've used it for a few days now and although it does hydrate and sink into my skin, I can't get over the clinical menthol smell. I'd say use it just before bed or when you know you're not leaving the house for a bit.

Make Up For Ever: Smoky Lash Mascara


Extra Black
Wow.
I've never had a lash-invisibility issue, but, if I had, this would most likely solve it.
If my lashes were Dr. Bruce Banner, this mascara would be the anger that makes them the Incredible Hulk--just not green & scary.
Take the 20 seconds to wipe the brush on a tissue before using to preempt any flaking.
It's got some magic, anti-smudge power going on, as well as the aforementioned dramatic-lash properties.
It's $22.oo at Sephora, which makes me a bit cringy, but worth the splurge, especially for a very special occasion (dinner at the White House, tea w/a queen, Hot Date, etc).

Alison Raffaele: Transparent Finish Powder


Nice, the powder version.
Not chalky, adds smooth finish to your visage!
No gross stuff.
Invisible, yet velvety.

H20+: Water Activated Eye Make-Up Remover


Not to get too exuberant, but Holy Moley!
An eye makeup remover that removes eye makeup!
Does not burn!
Does not cause zits!
How is this not a phenomenal best-seller?
Is it slowly doing something horrible to me?
It's just too good!
Thank you, Jill:)

C.O. Bigelow: Dr. Galen Herbal Skin Tonic


Witch hazel rocks!
This herbal-infused tonic is my new go-to-product for extreme oiliness & the non-washing hair days for cleaning up the hairline.
I also love it for cleaning my ears.
Sometimes my ears & face get all overheated, this tonic is excellent for cooling down.
So useful! Gotta love a pragmatic product:)

Verikira Naturals: Fresh Feet Foot Crème


Yeah, feet gross me out, but this Fresh Feet from Verikira makes them not so revolting;)
This lotion stops mild-to-moderate feet-stink!
It might work on even smellier feet, but mine haven't gotten that bad (knock on wood).
The lotion is antiseptic & not real pleasant smelling itself, but clears up a whole host of problems & cools your sweaty, nasty feet.
Wear socks after applying (cotton, of course), or your abode will pick up lotion...
Anti-fungal, so stops athlete's foot.

Soap and Glory: Flake Away

http://www.soapandglorycosmetics.com/
Super thick, yet gentle scrub.
Peachy & lovely smelling.
Smooths away the roughness, leaves skin incredibly soft!
I even used it on my hands:)

Urban Decay Loose Pigment Eyeshadow in X

Click Here

This eyeshadow is great-no mess and easy. There is no pot so no brush you have to clean or find in your make-up drawer. The brush is already in the eyeshadow like a lip gloss. Just pull it out and swipe. The color is really even and you can layer it for more intensity.

Educated Make Up!

Enough to make you want to go back to school:
Courses for pros & amateurs.
Emerson is in Boston, Mass.
Pahk your cah in Hahvad Yahd.

C.O. Bigelow Vitamin Boost Gel Cleanser


Super thick gel!
Light scent, kind of an antiseptic berry.
Be warned: A little goes a long way. 
Works well, nice lather--which I like post-work-out. 
Cleans without sucking the life out of your skin, then rinses easily.
Flip top wonderful for shower use.
Well done, C.O. Bigelow!
