DRY IDEA
Every dermatologist, asthetician, and magazine quiz has determined I have combination skin. So, its no surprise the same goes for my hair. My wavy, temperamental tresses cant handle daily shampoo but sometimes second day hair needs a little help. I remember trying Psssssst! in college and thinking it was the greatest invention ever. A decade later, the market for dry shampoos has exploded and Ive tried more than a few. When I saw a magazine mention a brand called Batiste, I had to check it out.

anastasia lash lifting mascara

One coat of this exclusive silky, non-clumping, double effect mascara will add full volume thickness and uplifting curl.
That is pretty much true. I have been switching between this Lash Lifting Mascara ($22) from Anastasia and Kiehl’s mascara pretty much since I started using them about 3 months ago.

Finally! An inexpensive product that takes the guessing work out of applying eyeliner. L’Oreal’s HIP (High Intensity Pigments) Kohl Eyeliner is like an extremely pigmented, bold and finely milled loose powder stuffed into a tube with an extra long wand that completely absorbs the pigments for precise application.

Two lucky readers have the opportunity to experience it themselves!! And now NutriSystem has added another line, the Select Line, that includes a variety of frozen menu items. Each winner will receive a month’s worth of a combination of the ready-to-go line (the one I tried) and the new Select line. I wish I had been able to try out the frozen meals, they sound pretty good. Anything that includes ice cream sandwiches as part of their diet is a friend of mine. Check out what you can get at nutrisystem.com.

HIGH GLOSS
I was in middle school when I got my first lipstick. It was Black Honey by Clinique and technically wasnt a lipstick, it was an Almost Lipstick. It was a deep dark shade in the tube but glossy and sheer upon application. In the years since, I have worn my fair share of lipsticks, from matte red shades from MAC to petal pinks from Stila, but I have always loved a sheer glossy look. My favorite was Asher by the now defunct Delux Beauty, and once I found it was impossible to track down I decided it was time to look for an eco-alternative.
