Victoria's Secret Bikini Underwear, white lace, Intimissimi +

Got these on a whim, they are my faves!

Sexy, comfy and they fit well. And still machine washable. I need to get more. Unfortunately, not available online.

The Body Shop Camomile Eye Make Up Remover

I needed more remover, and decided to go back to this classic. It doens't take a large amount to work, and doesn't stink. It does not take off some waterproof mascaras, but I usually do not use mascara anyhow. I'm glad to switch back. It leaves no residue.

Mary Kay Lipstick Frosted Rose

I loved this color on me - similar to my natural li color, but slightly more metallic, a bit more frosty. Unfortunately, the particular lipstick that I ended up bringing home was very... old? It was unsmooth in application and felt sticky. So I had to return it.

When I returned it, I had just gotten 2 more lipsticks in a trade, and so I traded for a different product.

Ecotools Mineral Brush set +

I got this because I wanted a kabukie brush to apply my L'Oreal Bare Minerale Foundation and it got great reviews. The kabuki is super soft. I use the concealer brush with my mineral concealer. I love them both. I also use the large brush for finishing powder/blush, depending upon my mood. Great set. Super soft. The eyeshadow brush is too soft for me to control - but I use pressed pigments, not loose eye powders.

Mary Kay Eye Primer +

I love this stuff. Without it, my shadow wears off. Revlon 12 hour colorstay usually looks fresh for about 3 hours and is pretty faded by the end of the day, and that's the best of any shadow.

With this - colors are brighter and stay on through the whole work day. I love it! And it comes in a sanitary squeeze tube, not a dirty pot or wand like many other primers. Unfortunately, I think it has parabens in it. I make exceptions when needed, and this is an exception. I only wonder if maybe I should apply with a brush instead of my finger, in order to place less pressure onto the eye area to prevent wrinkles in the future. But then I would feel obligated to wash out that brush every day, or to have several in rotation. Ugh.

One tiny bottle lasts forever. Right now, 9-09, I still have plenty, and I use it at least once a day, possibly more on the weekends when I'm playing with different looks.

Herbal Essences Shampoo & Conditioner Color Me Happy

Bought these cuz I had a coupon and it was on sale, two for $3.

Also, no parabens on the label. Surprise! So - less guilt for me. I love the smell of Herbal Essences. It seems to clean just fine. The conditioner, while it untangles my hair, does not leave it super soft. My Bumble & Bumble conditioner once a week definitely makes a difference.

Three V High Neck T Shirts, Banana Republic

Banana changed their return policy so I am stuck with these. We'll see if I can get any use out of them this winter. I got three in jewel fuschia, jewel blue, and black. I bought them as layering pieces for when it got cold. It's now 9/09 and I have not used any of them yet. I did pull the tags off the black one, since I thought it would be easiest to layer and so first used. All three are still new.

Mod Floral Magenta/Black/White Cotton Halter Dress

I am on the hunt for a dress for wedding season. We are attending 3 this year and I'd like to wear something different to each one. This dress is so cute and looked great on. I am just not sure if I will keep it for long because it's got a very young vibe about it. I loved the color and print and I loved the mesh sticking out of the bottom below the hem.

I wore it three times over the summer and I paid full retail price for it ($50). I think the cost per wear ends up pretty high when you work it out that way. Maybe I'll get more out of it next year. I'll have to remember that halter dresses are not for me. I don't end up wearing them because I get cold too easily in them. I prefer something with some shoulder coverage.
