Sheer Genius


So, I'm in White's Pharmacy in East Hampton Saturday when I come across a new Bobbi product.
Her new tinted lip balm is great. So great it's already sold out in several shades at White's and on www.bobbibrowncosmetics.com.
And unlike other tinted balms on the market, hers delivers both moisture and color. Apply on-the-go and enjoy!

Stila multi-effect mascara


She's a winner!
Notice how I've made the mascara a female.
Anyway, I've tried Stila's new mascara and it's great. It's light, but covered my lashes well. I like the curve of the brush. I tried the multi-effect mascara in black and it was the appropriate color for my dark brown eyes.

A friend suggested a new web site to me.

You'll also find info on sample sales and celeb trends.
Take a look. I'd love to know what you think of my new fave site.

Stila Face Color -- Katie Couric in a blush


I love when I find a new product that's well-designed and does what it's supposed to do. Case in point:
Stila's All Over Glow -- Peachy keen.
Swipe this dynamic duo powder over your face when you want a fresh, healthy glow.
I'm the kind of gal who has naturally pink skin.
My grandma would say I have rosy cheeks.
I'm often nervous about using blush, for fearing of looking like a clown. But this peach is sooooooooo natural-looking. It just perks you up. It's like Katie Couric in a blush.
Anyway ... the peach color in this awesome duo is way lighter in color than bronzer, so you don't have to worry about looking like Charlize Theron at the Oscars a few years back.
And as you can see in this itty bitty photograph, the blush comes with a second, shimmer-y powder than you can use to highlight.
Great gift for the teenager in your life! Or for mom!

Prescriptives' Magic Potion

I have to admit it. I first saw this product on QVC. The hosts talked about this product as if it were the Taj Mahal of beauty products. Now don't get me wrong, it's a good product. Use it as a highlighter before and/or after your foundation or tinted moisturizer. You can wipe it on your cheek bones, or on the bridge of your nose, wherever you want a little extra sheen. The Magic Potion helps illuminate the skin.
But it's not a primer as the hosts on QVC mentioned. You want a primer? Stick with Laura Mercier's oil-free primer. Great product.

But Wait, There's More from Wexler!


About my only complaint with Pat Wexler's new line of plumping lip glosses, is their name.
I mean, who wants to hear the word injection?
Anyway, these glosses tingle. But they do plump. And they're very pretty. Also, the colors are nice and sheer. I like Raspberry.
