Review: Benefit's 10

I avoided buying this for awhile, because I thought it might just be too gimmicky. Nevermind that I love everything Benefit puts out, and have never had a bad experience with them. This product is no different. It really works exactly as described: pink on one side and bronze on the other, sweep your brush so that it is even on either side of the included brush. Sweep it over the cheekbones with the pink on top, and the bronze on the bottom, and viola! a sun kissed glow. It’s really that simple. I remember the 80′s when we had [...]

 
Carmindy Recommends: Face Highlighters/Illumizers/Luminators

Reading Carmindy’s Five Minute Face, I realize that I’ve never used highlighters. Time to start. She recommends using it on the upper cheekbones, below the eyebrows, and in the inside corners of your eyes. See more of my Face Highlighters list at ThisNext.

So Excited!

I actually won something! Today in my mailbox was a large box from Benefit. Now, I’m always getting something from Benefit, but I know I hadn’t ordered anything, because I was just at Sephora and bought the 10 (which I will review shortly). Anyway, inside was this great book and a note saying congrats! So, share in my good fortune – Benefit gave me a coupon code, and if you use it you can get free shipping on any order of $65. It’s FRESHP65. Enjoy! And I will have a review of the book just as soon as I can!

My Sephora Haul

Dear blog, I haven’t neglected you. I have been out of town doing much work stuff in places with no internet connection! I did, however, manage to get myself to Tyson’s Corner Galleria and do some serious Sephora shoping. Here are a few things I managed to pick up:I really adore their makeup primer. I considered briefly getting the tinted version, but ultimately decided against it. I always thought primer was just a gimmick, but it really does help with lines and pores.This is just cuticle oil, but oh so important. I have a tendency to bite at my cuticles, [...]

 

You really should. It’s most excellent.

 
Who Loves Michael Kors? I do!

Just look at these! I love them. And right now, the bestest store ever, Nordstrom, has marked them down. I’ve been stalking these shoes for quite some time after I saw them once and thought that they would bring a certain something to my shoe wardrobe. And now…now they will be mine! If you don’t like this color, don’t fret – there are three more. Black, green, and gold are also marked down to a surprising $63.90. Go check them out at Nordstrom.
