...so, I know I've been MIA for a couple of days. Sorry y'all. So let's see what fun things I have to start your week off.
1. Want to put on a lip color in the morning and not have to worry about it all day? I know we've talked about stains before, but this is a tiny bit different. It'a Laura Mercier's Lip Stain: http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P188501&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=5809
Somehow, instead of this being drying, it's actually kind of creamy. I love to put this stuff on and then just put lip balm or a clear gloss over it all day. My favorite color? The Sugar Violet. But, the Mulberry would be perfect for fall as well!
2. I am a hardcore waterproof mascara user. However, I have so many mascara samples that I decided not to let them go to waste. I tried Clinique's Lash Doubling mascara (http://www.clinique.com/product/CATEGORY4904/PROD6268/Makeup/Mascara/index.tmpl) this weekend and was pleasantly surprised! This stuff was rich and black and went on without a single clump. GORGEOUS! The only thing was that you need to make sure that the first coat is light and let it dry completely before adding the second coat. Otherwise, it will pull the curl out of your lash.
3. Please, please, please remember that during the fall and winter months the drier atmosphere can really impact the surface of your skin. There are lots of little steps you can take but one of the big ones is using a low lather cleanser in the morning and at night. Remember that the foaming action in most cleansers are just a detergent that don't actually do anything. The American public thinks that the more foam/bubbles you get, the cleaner you're getting. Nope. Just stripping that top layer of moisture from your skin. So, look for a low or no lather cleanser and it's a giant leap towards keeping your skin healthy for the next few months. My suggestions? Cetaphil is the top recommended one: http://www.drugstore.com/templates/brand/default.asp?brand=8209&trx=GFI-0-EVGR-MCN&trxp1=10211&trxp2=8209&trxp3=3&trxp4=TB
The best part? This stuff is CHEEEEAP! You can get it al Wal-Mart!
Also a great option is the Basis Cleansing bar: http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=16628&catid=10211&trx=GFI-0-EVGR-11695&trxp1=10211&trxp2=16628&trxp3=1&trxp4=3&btrx=BUY-GFI-0-EVGR-11695
So mild and safe.
If you have very sensitive skin that tends to get chapped in the cooler weather, this is a great option: http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=139643&catid=79350&trx=PLST-0-CAT&trxp1=79350&trxp2=139643&trxp3=1&trxp4=0&btrx=BUY-PLST-0-CAT
Eucerin has been recommended by dermatologists for years. Give it a try!
Breast cander product of the day: http://www.target.com/Pink-Ribbon-Hanging-Cosmetic-Case/dp/B000QV3T0Q/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&searchView=grid5&frombrowse=0&node=1038576&keywords=pink%20ribbon&field_browse=1038576&searchSize=30&id=Pink%20Ribbon%20Hanging%20Cosmetic%20Case&field_availability=-2&refinementHistory=subjectbin%2Ctarget_com_age%2Ctarget_com_gender-bin%2Ctarget_com_character-bin%2Cprice%2Ctarget_com_primary_color-bin%2Ctarget_com_size-bin%2Ctarget_com_brand-bin&searchNodeID=1038576&field_launch-date=-1y&searchRank=relevancerank&searchPage=1&field_keywords=pink%20ribbon
Great for traveling because you can just hang it up wherever you're going!
