Bobbi Brown Shadow Basics


Ok. This is love. Where to begin? Every shade is perfect. They are soft and lovely. They apply smoothly and the brush. The brush is THE brush. Soft and natural. It never sheds. I love the iridescent shade for my whole lid. It's a great foundation for eyeliner. And they never crease. Love love Bobbi Brown!

Pangea Organics Turkish Rose and White Tea Eye Cream


My love for the Pangea Organics line is big and lasting. Sad to say that I saw no difference in the condition of the skin around my eyes after using this every night for a few weeks.

Infectiguard lotion-formula hand sanitizer


Pro: Kills germs without drying out skin.

Con: I don't like the smell.

However, I have it on my desk at work, people seem to really like it!

I like that they aren't germing all over my office :)

Plus: Infectigard is helping out the rescue effort in Haiti.

Lipstick Love

I do not go out without putting on lipstick.
I may not wear foundation, blush, or eye make-up often, I have never owned a concealer, but I always have at least one lipstick at any given time.
True story.

I love to look at the different lipsticks/stains/glosses on-line, but am often disappointed with those little specks of color shown, and have noticed that the pictures & the actual shades can have very little in common.

I asked a very smart cookie, and she steered me to the Urban Decay site. If the lipsticks are half as good as the comprehensive site, I am going to be in love.

I'll let you know for sure when the shipment is delivered!

Avon Super Curl-acious Mascara


Navy/Marine

I am so disappointed.

This mascara sucks!!!

Half an hour = the time it took to get from my lashes to little flakes all over my face & shirt.

Also, did NOT curl my lashes.

Revlon Double Twist Mascara


Blackest Black

Truth be told, I only got this mascara because I was getting Waterproof Mascara for my sister's wedding & this came in a two pack (yes, I got 6 tubes of various w.p.m.).

The brush is all funky, half comb & half brush.

I was worried.

Now I am hooked!

Good with one coat, no clumps, no streaks, no flakes!

This is a wonderful mascara!!!

Only two drawbacks:
1. Can be hard to remove-- but hello, is waterproof!

2. If you put it on at 8 am & are a watery-eyed-eye-rubber (guilty), don't expect to have any mascara on when midnight comes around. It was all over the kleenex, and not on my lashes. It's like the waterproof wears off & my runny eyes remove it...

Urban Decay: 24/7 Sets


Urban Decay makes the BEST eyeliner.
It goes on all smooth & creamy, no ripping your eyelids, & stays in place.
I love and think this is the eyeliner everyone should use.

Now there are special sets!

I love the Flipside (teal) and Crash (plum) best, so I am torn between the HI-FI and Stereophonic sets.

I think the glitter liner is great, but am convinced that sparkles are not so good after you (I) have turned 30, so I give the sparklies to the under-30's I know-- a gift for them, a gift for me... Could this be any better?

RAMY Beauty Therapy Cream Quads in Don't Waste My Time


First off, I heart the name of this quad - Don't Waste My Time. Quite opposite of the Innocent Beauty quad, thee four shades are for a night out or for a bold day look. I really like the icy white highlighter for highlighting my cheek and brow bones.
