Lipstick Challenge Day 10: some limited edition lip gloss

Aerin Lauder

Aerin Beauty Limited Edition Lip Gloss in Perfect Nude $30.00

I love limited edition beauty products. So much. There is really nothing better than getting your hands on some little limited edition beauty item that you know will likely never resurface. This is one of those things. Continue reading

Tanning my Heart Out

Tan Towel Half Body Classic Fair/Medium Skin Tanning Towels $17.00

So, my post from yesterday was about self tanners, and the current hunt I am on to find the perfect one, since tanning beds are not an option (duh!) and a beach vacation is not in my future. Nevertheless,  I’ve been feeling somewhat super pale, not just winter pale, but pale just like the winter I didn’t go outside during my second year of law school and I developed a Vitamin D deficiency, that kind of pale.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Crush $8.99

Merry Christmas!

My family is religiously mixed, so while we didn’t celebrate Christmas at home, I have very fond memories of celebrating it at my Aunt Joan and Aunt Ellen’s houses growing up. Christmas Eve was always my favorite of the two days, all of that anticipation, food and family, it was simply the best.

Here is hoping  that you are having the most wonderful start to Christmas!

Coffee Bean Caffeine Eye Cream $19.00 & $10.00

I’ve had this eye cream for a while, but never consistently used it. I was trying to finish up my current eye cream first. But last week, after a few really late nights, poor eating and generally putting my body through the worst of it, I really needed something to work on the under eye puffiness and bags that were beginning to develop.

Mark Gloss Gorgeous Stay On Lip Stain in Bare $11.00

How I stumbled upon Mark as an option for makeup is beyond me, though not totally strange, because when I was studying for the bar this summer I did manage to find very obscure things to purchase late at night. Nevertheless, this lovely lip product really stands up. Continue reading
