Ulta Automatic Eye Liner Teal Blue

I love it! Great color payoff and great staying power. And often on sale for only $2. I used to swear by Revlon's Colorstay but this seems just as good and in a wider variety of colors for less.

Coach Leah Metallic Leather Top Handle Xsmall Tote 42416 +

I decided to upgrade myself. I find that I very frequently grab for my Fossil vertical stripe patchwork small tote. It's easy to carry and organizes my things. However, it's a bit too wide to fit into a larger tote bag.

This gold Coach tote, part of the summer line of 2008, is just a small tote with a zip top and and soft gold leather. Light blue lining. Simple, gorgeous. I use it all the time. A great neutral with a pop, in a lightly saturated light gold. It's wearing great, as well. I pledged, after my last Coach bag, to but only leather, since that ages best. It's a great choice.

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.
