Too Faced "Lights, Camera, Glamour!" (Limited Edition)

Contains a make-up mirror that lights up (for that Hollywood glamour effect) with eye shadows, lip glosses, blush, duo-bronzer, foundation powder, brow definer, eye liner cake, and face shimmer. $40 (wow!! If I hadn't gotten the Candy Box and the Box of Pink Chocolates I would have gotten this cute pallet) This looks like a great deal (you get a lot...Sephora says it's worth $150 - you can clearly see how many things you're getting here).

Carmindy's 11/22/07 Newsletter

Carmindy is writing a second book, "Feature Focus" (first book is the "The 5 Minute Face") and asks:

What is your favorite facial feature and why? (1-2 sentences long) Example: "I love how my right eyebrow forms a question mark whenever I'm lost in laughter." or "My apple cheeks show off my dimples."

What is one question you have about playing up a certain facial feature? And you know me ladies… focus on the positive! Example: "I really like the way liquid liner looks and I'd love to play up my eyes using it. Any tips?" or "How can I use foundation to accentuate my smooth skin, while evening out its tone?"

What's your favorite "mirror mantra"? Meaning, when you choose to celebrate yourself and your unique beauty, what do you say to yourself to keep feeling confident? Example: "Today I'm healthy and I'm so grateful!" or "Nobody has these eyes, baby!"

Candy Box - Too Faced (Limited Edition)

The Candy Box (pink shades "Pink Bon Bon" and caramel shades "Caramel Truffles") has its inspiration from last year's Box of Pink Chocolates but contains 9 shades of gloss and 4 eye shadows. (Currently out of stock on sephora.com) This makes an awesome holiday gift!! (I know, I personally received these). Yumm!!

DiorShow Waterproof Mascara

I got this mascara as part of my anniversary gift. I really do like it since it's the best mascara so far on me but I still hope for a miracle mascara to help out my short, super straight lashes. Here is my Amazon.com review: http://www.amazon.com/review/R5HVQTFPZ4B5A/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

New Raves

Here are the top things I've been interested in lately:

Make-up by TooFaced and Dior (especially the DiorShow Mascara).
Peep toe shoes with bows.
Bliss High Intensity Hand Cream and Naked Body Butter.
Lip Gloss pallets.
Make-up kits (for on the go).

Holiday Shopping this year

Man, holiday shopping isn't easy this year with the new baby. I decided to do most things on Amazon.com (instead of going to the mall) but with all the different things the items won't all ship together and some would come later than others. Despite that, I find ordering things on line easier but not as fun as shopping for it in the stores. I do miss going to Sephora and all the other girlie stores even if it can get crowded.
