So, when I found out I was off to San Diego for two days, I needed to pare everything down and figure out how to get everything into one carry-on bag and one "personal item" (read: laptop bag).<br/> <br/> The first step was to find a replacement for my tinted moisturizer - <a href= "http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P84309&categoryId=C15673"> Philosophy's The Supernatural Airbrushed Canvas</a> ($35 at sephora - see picture at left) was a perfect fit because it's amazingly travel friendly; it comes with a mirror, and because it's a mineral-based powder and not a liquid, it can go right in the laptop bag for a pre-departure touch-up.<br/> <a href= "http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P190031&categoryId=C10463" target="_blank"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" style= "CLEAR: both; FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px" alt="" src= "https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAEUBSqnqQURltXywaBbst344_-tPBM3cxnB1Xsvk5oMcL9rdsGbiqYpfWhwUpkG9DWfkhMxscTercRIXj76A0vsL3yJAD0behneIiomeA6NVZ_TonPhf8BY6vcNbJSMY0lXdAFEWl45Dy/s320/Stila+fall+fantasy+-+greens.jpg" border="0" name="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" /></a><br/> I'd read somewhere <font size="1">(and for the life of me I can't find out where on the internet it is - I just spent an hour or so looking for the darn page!)</font> that when traveling, you should only board the plane with mascara and moisturizer before boarding, and then spend the last hour of the flight putting on eyeshadow, blush and foundation (super easy, thanks to the philosophy). But that meant I needed to find a nice travel compact that was a nice professional look. Enter Stila's <a href= "http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P190031&categoryId=C10463"> Fall Fantasy - A Tale of Enchantment Palette</a> in Moss (right, $32 at sephora), which I'd been eyeing for a while. It's a beautiful green palette in shades of sheer champagne (base), a khaki shimmer green(crease) and a dark green shimmer (liner), paired with awarm coppery brown blush. This looks great with my hazel eyes, and I can tell I'm going to be using it a lot.<br/> <br/> Along with my <a href= "http://search.ulta.com/search?p=R&srid=S7%2d3&lbc=ulta&w=Travel%20Brush&url=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2eulta%2ecom%2fcontrol%2fproduct%2f%7eproduct%5fid%3d2078381&rk=1&uid=931486742&sid=2&ts=custom&rsc=lqMEc5C8GAGtQ2aX&method=and&isort=score"> Touch Up Tube 5 Piece Travel Brush</a> by Japonesque, I was all set to go!

It also doesn't help that I have allergies, which also aggravates the darkness.<br/> <br/><span id="fullpost">So, I am usually always on the prowl for a concealer that covers those dark circles. Here is the most important thing I've learned on my search:<br/> <blockquote>When you need to cover dark circles, do <b>not</b> succumb to the "yellow to help cover dark circles" sales pitch you'll see on most drugstore lines. This just doesn't work! You need a salmon colored corrector to neutralize the dark circles, first. Then you can brighten with a lighter concealer.</blockquote> So, it was after Bobbi Brown made an appearance on QVC, where I lusted after her <a href= "http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?sofocus=bs&sbrftog=1&sibeleafcat=40966&itemstate=1&itemid=220138875702&from=R10&itemsiteid=0&satitle=Bobbi+Brown+Face+Touch+Up+Palette&sacat=-1%26catref%3DC6&fmmk=&fmmd=&fylo=&fyhi=&mppfqy=Bobbi+Brown+Face+Touch+Up+Palette&sargn=-1%26saslc%3D2&sadis=200&fpos=07921&sabfmts=1&saobfmts=insif&ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&fsq=10+Bobbi+Brown+Face+Touch+Up+Palette+GOLDEN&fsop=1%26fsoo%3D1&coaction=compare&copagenum=1&coentrypage=search" target="_blank">Face Touch Up Palette</a> (which is only on ebay now), but had no idea what color I was in her line, that I marched on down to Nordstroms and said: "Match me up, please!" Turns out I'm a warm ivory, which is right between porcelain and sand, and means that the palette is never to be mine, alas, but she did match me up with bisque corrector and ivory concealer, and man oh man, I'm a convert!<br/> <br/> The corrector is good enough to use on its own - it cancels out the darkness and matches my skin tone. But, I usually chose to go ahead and brighten the under eye area as I can use all the help I can get! The creamy concealer comes with a yellow based powder, which the sales assistance didn't originally want to put on because my skin seemed dry, but it went on just fine, and set the powder nicely.<br/> <br/> I stepped outside in the sunlight, and was totally stunned to see how well my dark circles were covered! I'm in love, and if I could marry a makeup product, this duo might just be it. <br/> <br/> ... would that make me a bigamist? <br />Corrector Rating:<span class="inline-rating"><br /> <ul class="star-rating star-disponly"><br /> <li class="current-rating" style="width:100%;">Currently 5/5 Stars.</li><br /> <li><a href="#" title="1 star out of 5" class="one-star">1</a></li><br /> <li><a href="#" title="2 stars out of 5" class="two-stars">2</a></li><br /> <li><a href="#" title="3 stars out of 5" class="three-stars">3</a></li><br /> <li><a href="#" title="4 stars out of 5" class="four-stars">4</a></li><br /> <li><a href="#" title="5 stars out of 5" class="five-stars">5</a></li><br /> </ul> <br /> </span><br />Creamy Concealer Kit Rating:<span class="inline-rating"><br /> <ul class="star-rating star-disponly"><br /> <li class="current-rating" style="width:90%;">Currently 4.5/5 Stars.</li><br /> <li><a href="#" title="1 star out of 5" class="one-star">1</a></li><br /> <li><a href="#" title="2 stars out of 5" class="two-stars">2</a></li><br /> <li><a href="#" title="3 stars out of 5" class="three-stars">3</a></li><br /> <li><a href="#" title="4 stars out of 5" class="four-stars">4</a></li><br /> <li><a href="#" title="5 stars out of 5" class="five-stars">5</a></li><br /> </ul> <br /> </span></span>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12844533210793839316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417389812277115090.post-69967694689520937602007-08-13T23:28:00.000-05:002007-08-14T00:23:21.364-05:00N.V. Perricone Ceramic Skin SmootherOnce again a time, I had flawless skin. No really, it's true. For a brief period in my 20s I was free to do pretty much anything to my face - sleep in makeup, wash with harsh cleansers, etc. But as I neared 30 my skin began to flip out. The old regimen would no longer do. I set off in search of products that would fix everything and ended up with a face that was red and peeling and reacting to just about anything I put on it. I've come to accept that even the most "natural" and "gentle" of products can cause a reaction from me, so I'm pretty wary when it comes to trying something new.<br /><br />My beauty fascination has always been skincare more than color. It often feels like a waste to go in to Sephora and come out with only a jar or moisturizer and not some pretty eyeshadow, but 80% of the time it's what pulls me in. I love that I can go in and get samples of everything, then try it out at home before I commit. I recommend it to everyone, yet please note that this is incredibly dumb. Because if I start using a new moisturizer the same day as a new cleanser or new primer or new spot treatment, how am I going to know exactly which one is doing the magic? Or wrecking the havoc?<br /><br />I, of course, do it anyway.<br /><br />In my last shopping trip, I picked up several things - some great, some good, some bad - and I'll review them all for you. For starters, there is the one that I love the most, though admittedly for reasons inexact.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiE4qiUDVXOg0UnzUSriODibq4j7b3xVGJMyVwLgB_zaudo5Zdf7VqTvFIOL24-tvsS2VP62n_hBHW2GhAYtX-bTyQaGlXC8qb-AWNNAFKoyEQguAY_iB7gpykMRMfKRRVfkEicvedYr70/s1600-h/skinsmoother.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiE4qiUDVXOg0UnzUSriODibq4j7b3xVGJMyVwLgB_zaudo5Zdf7VqTvFIOL24-tvsS2VP62n_hBHW2GhAYtX-bTyQaGlXC8qb-AWNNAFKoyEQguAY_iB7gpykMRMfKRRVfkEicvedYr70/s320/skinsmoother.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5098421807793919858" border="0" /></a>At $75 an ounce, I'm reluctant to jump without testing the waters first. I received a sample of the <a href="http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P184116&categoryId=B15">N.V. Perricone Ceramic Skin Smoother Finishing Serum</a> from Sephora and quickly fell in love. My skin felt great, my foundation went on smoother and looked flawless (well, as flawless as it could) and I just knew - <span style="font-style: italic;">knew</span> - that it was all because of this little wonder potion. When my little sample ran out I was so sad, and a few days later, still unable to commit, picked up another sample at Nordstrom. It just ran out yesterday, and I miss it already. The product materials swear that it "locks in moisture and gives your complexion an instantly flawless, smooth, and velvety finish." With continued use, you're supposed to be able to skip foundation altogether and brave the world with bare skin. I'm not sure I'm there yet (not sure I ever will be) but I know what I like, and I love this little bottle.<br /><br />I tend to consider moisturizer and serum purchases as acts of faith. The results are not immediate and it's going to be a good 20 years before I <span style="font-weight: bold;">really</span> know if they've all worked or not. It makes me really reluctant to spend big bucks on little potion bottles, and this is no exception. But this is also the first skincare product I've used and actually missed when it was gone. Like forlornly gazing into the medicine cabinet missed.

Unlike the Lash Stylist, this brush has different lengths of bristles, and they're <i>much</i> closer together, which makes a huge difference in how the mascara applies. This has a much more natural look an NO clumping! Unfortunately, I think I'm starting to find that this flakes off at the end of the day, which makes it less of a holy grail then when I originally started this post. <br />Rating:<span class="inline-rating"><br /> <ul class="star-rating star-disponly"><br /> <li class="current-rating" style="width:90%;">Currently 4.5/5 Stars.</li><br /> <li><a href="#" title="1 star out of 5" class="one-star">1</a></li><br /> <li><a href="#" title="2 stars out of 5" class="two-stars">2</a></li><br /> <li><a href="#" title="3 stars out of 5" class="three-stars">3</a></li><br /> <li><a href="#" title="4 stars out of 5" class="four-stars">4</a></li><br /> <li><a href="#" title="5 stars out of 5" class="five-stars">5</a></li><br /> </ul> <br /> </span></div></span>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12844533210793839316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417389812277115090.post-21441938353692760412007-08-10T11:21:00.001-05:002007-08-11T09:28:49.510-05:00Brush sale alert!<p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" height="125" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvpsx03vI1cSJa51gMixy3hHwc1inOsq-MMK51-vrPOxjN_6nFOK8lvUo9SxyeheFM6mY0rislsStrkI3FeD24CuwSMZa_7vDVQ3yesVxVKCa1spFRimcp6qCyMwR-ebcB0BLvUFUevZQW/s320/masterset_250b.jpg" width="251" align="left" border="0" name="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" /><br />A Design brushes is <a href="http://www.adesignbrushes.com/products/bags-sets.html#masterset" target="_blank">having a sale on their 18 pc kit</a> - every brush a girl could ever need, and of excellent quality (so says a great professional makeup artist on one of the boards I read) for $99 - this is a great deal when you consider that even with pro discounts, 3 brushes run around $45!<br /></p>Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12844533210793839316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417389812277115090.post-69650800536660461032007-08-10T10:38:00.001-05:002007-08-11T09:28:21.306-05:00Review of Jillian Dempsey Collection<p>So I got <a href="http://search.avon.com/search.aspx?QSI=7fc46e68-526b-4342-b8f7-a9709d0fd325&Action=16&AXD=http%3a%2f%2fshop.avon.com%2fshop%2fproduct.asp%3fpf_id%3d31629%26from%3dsearch%26find_spec%3dJillian+Dempsey+Summer+Collection%26camp%3d200717%26dir_delivery%3d1%26rep_delivery%3d1%7e31629.200717%7eJillian+Dempsey" target="_blank">this</a> in yesterday and had to try most things on today:</p><ul><li><b>Limited-Edition Ultra Color Rich Lip Conditioner</b> - I was disappointed that this was not a color, per se, but it's a nice lip balm.</li><li><b>NEW Limited-Edition Morph Tones Cream Eyeshadow Duo</b> - LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this!

She asked me if I wanted to try a "crazy" color, or some neutral ones, and I, of course, said, "Why not both?" So, for the wild and crazy look, she applied Ether with some By Jupiter on it, which looked surprisingly great! These are very sheer and buildable, so it wasn't all that crazy, and I quite liked it. For the more neutral look, she applied Mercurial, which is a nice rosy pink tone, which was also great.<br /><br />I ended up picking up the ether, since it looked so amazing, but then a week later, I gave in and ran back to grab By Jupiter and Mercurial before these ran out of stock.<br /><br />One note - check your packaging before you leave the store! My By Jupiter was cracked and I had to go back and return it for a new one, and the sales associate told me that these break pretty easily so you need to be careul with it.<br /><br />Also, you should check them for the veining - while I love my ether, I don't think it has a good mix of marbling. I only have one teeny speck of gold, and a large swath of dark blue, which makes the color darker than what I'd tried on in the store.<br /><br />These are already selling out quickly - when I went back for By Jupiter and Mercurial, I didn't see any of the quarry or ether left at either of the Nordie's counters I was at, but you can still get these online at <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/templates/collections/collection.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CATEGORY20901" target="_blank">www.maccosmetics.com</a>.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12844533210793839316noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417389812277115090.post-78766135079941956902007-08-03T13:34:00.001-05:002007-08-11T09:27:58.482-05:00Jillian Dempsey's All About Summer Collection is now available forpurchase... or so says the email from Avon, even though it's not letting me buy this online yet...<br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFvHAU4ZXJXthkZTeCTFj2RoUouPOYqqtpd4cw_wkoBmMdJ6oTLmyN-sBxGs-mGB9irR-Xkn7u2hWnOWs7M1RUnuL4nCIrptHxQGjGMO3Ne9W2qrN8TYYiZNwXy9LIL3rsflcY6QAn631O/s320/avon+jillian+dempsey+All+About+Summer+Collection.jpg" border="0" name="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" /></div><br />I've been waiting for this to come in, letting me know that this cute little kit is for sale, ever since Shelly gave me a preview of it.

High-performance gloss and luxury lipstick in one. Color-Gel formula delivers smooth, silky color that lasts and a shine that won’t quit.</i><br/> <br/> Basically, they're saying that these are one of those gloss sticks - lip gloss in lipstick form. I asked around on my <strike>enabling</strike> beauty forums, and the consensus was that these were pretty great, so I picked them up in pink kiss, champagne glow, and copper mink (pictured above, l - r).<br/> <br/> <b>What Heather says about them:</b> These are fantastic! They were cheap when I bought them ($4.99), and give a great deal of color with a ton of shine. My favorite is the champagne glow, a perfect every day color. I loved them so much I had that comment up on twitter for forever, and I also went out and bought (on <a href= "http://shawes-smith.avonrepresentative.com/" target= "_blank">Shelly's</a> recommendation), Juicy Apricot, Raisin Glaze (which is totally your lips, but better!), and Honey Bare. I love them all - they're just as good, if not better, than the <a href= "http://teamlipgloss.blogspot.com/2007/07/review-benefit-cosmetics-love-your-look.html" target="_blank">Benefit Lipsticks</a>, and cheaper, too.<br/> <br/> The price has gone up on Avon to $8.00, but Shelly tells me that if you order through your avon representative, they can back order and still get you the $4.99 price.</div> Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12844533210793839316noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417389812277115090.post-64771625029133609952007-07-26T09:13:00.001-05:002007-07-27T15:34:16.342-05:00Thursday Beauty News<ul><li>Smashbox has a <a href="http://www.smashbox.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/content.view/nodeID/f5a4ac43-ab99-4221-93da-ec1b579a254f" target="_blank">program</a> where you can get a free gift with purchase if you buy between 9 am - 2 pm Pacific (12 noon to 5 pm for us Eastern gals) on Thursdays!

Yes, I'm talking about the Kraft salad dressing! Supposedly the mayo element of the emulsion will moisturize your skin, while at the same time, the vinegar will exfoliate all the dead cells away, leaving your face super smooth.<br /><br />To do this, apply a medium layer of Miracle Whip to your face (enough so the coating is opaque, not translucent), and leave it on your face for 10-20 minutes. If you do this right, you will get some vinegar fumes around your eyes, but that's solved by walking around the house or waving a fan at your face (think of it as a perfect time to tidy up around the house?). After that, the directions say to rub with your fingers to loosen the dead skin, and then rinse off. I prefer to wipe off with a dry microfiber towel, though, before rinsing instead of using my fingers.<br /><br />I have tried this at home, and it's FANTASTIC! This is really more like a peel than a facial. Reader be warned: I don't recommend doing this in the morning, as my face did stay red for about an hour afterwards, which is not a great look for work.<br /><br />Do you want proof? This worked so well I decided to try it on my icky summer feet as well, and leave you with some un-retouched photographic evidence:<br /><br /><div style="MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK36ERhZ532npQ7NwMx69eJOEgOQitdMwTp7LCVGB-qI5IZtNrwEekadbsBPw1cIFuX8v3sIiLJ9ZBgdj-YoTekBG7x_Ds3z-XCo4Ogx-KtYb4MMaBha2JQAh7rD9MSNQHWLoIj5ZBkLA/s1600-h/IMG_0782.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK36ERhZ532npQ7NwMx69eJOEgOQitdMwTp7LCVGB-qI5IZtNrwEekadbsBPw1cIFuX8v3sIiLJ9ZBgdj-YoTekBG7x_Ds3z-XCo4Ogx-KtYb4MMaBha2JQAh7rD9MSNQHWLoIj5ZBkLA/s320/IMG_0782.JPG" border="0" name="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" /><br /></a>Before - icky yucky feet<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRhjrVwsBsvPOQbV3VE57_qiPlrYzd4N7QV6KcXjXC6mNRR-Ndkp_NpGFd2-bFtjqFS_j49BJce5LJk3DrRCGqCeH-y_n9To_P10AFq9tOMVVegUjSm8Gm9ClCECWhXHAWNq_regcBIEY/s1600-h/IMG_0788.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRhjrVwsBsvPOQbV3VE57_qiPlrYzd4N7QV6KcXjXC6mNRR-Ndkp_NpGFd2-bFtjqFS_j49BJce5LJk3DrRCGqCeH-y_n9To_P10AFq9tOMVVegUjSm8Gm9ClCECWhXHAWNq_regcBIEY/s320/IMG_0788.JPG" border="0" name="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" /></a><br />During - the MW will eventually "melt" into your skin and become translucent<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI9YonpvuCJS11FfNfmJX-xC6IenKywXMa8R1HRp7_LJMOMB6omt7qeUu2SXWKuZURq8-YRX5IGlDDWbvmPQAn4Pp4QSdJ1cOlaqtlPtU7fT4nt_qBT-dXWTefa2iia8nC0PB-Ll6wzBQ/s1600-h/IMG_0805.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI9YonpvuCJS11FfNfmJX-xC6IenKywXMa8R1HRp7_LJMOMB6omt7qeUu2SXWKuZURq8-YRX5IGlDDWbvmPQAn4Pp4QSdJ1cOlaqtlPtU7fT4nt_qBT-dXWTefa2iia8nC0PB-Ll6wzBQ/s320/IMG_0805.JPG" border="0" name="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_" /></a><br />After - Look at this baby smooth skin!
