Jane Iredale's undereye concealer

Active Light is an illuminating under-eye concealer that instantly brightens the complexion while providing skin care benefits. The revolutionary formula won't crease or crepe, because it contains no talc, leaving a smooth   airbrushed finish to the skin.

The mineral particles in Active Light create a soft focus effect and manipulate how light is reflected from the skin, instantly camouflaging any signs of fatigue, covering darkness and concealing dark circles.

The pen and brush dispenser allow for easy and accurate application of the vitamin and anti-oxidant infused formula, which is designed to hydrate and smooth fine lines of the skin. Nourishing oils provide a base for vitamin K to lighten dark circles, cucumber extract for its anti-inflammatory and skin tightening properties and white tea extract to boost the skin's immune function.

Buckwheat wax is also found in the formula and is added to reduce puffiness. An independent in vivo test on 15 subjects showed that 80% of them had a reduction of 10% in puffiness around the eyes after applying a formulation with 1% Buckwheat twice daily for 28 days

VS Lingerie and Amber lotion & spray

I went shopping for a friend last Saturday to see if I could find something nice for her to wear to a special event.  I wound up totally unsuccessful after hunting for over 6 hours through Lenox Mall, Phipps Plaza, and Town Center.  I didn't come home completely empty handed.  Picked up a few perfumes, cosmetics, and some gifts for the friend who was kind enough to accompany me that Saturday.

My girlfriend wanted this MJ perfume. After going to 2 stores all we were able to get was a lousy sample.  When I asked for more samples seeing as I was willing to buy if they had full sizes - she said that this one was all that they had until next week.  She did phone me yesterday to tell me that it was in and she set 2 aside for me.

This is probably the best finishing powder compact that I've ever met.  One application over your foundation and you are really perfectly set for the entire day.  OK it's not mineral but trust me, it is excellent!

The sales associate talked me into this one.  I was there to buy a perfume for a friend Oh DeMoschino.  So they didn't have it.  Surprise right?  Not.  So then I was getting another order for a friend overseas who loves Hermes 24 Fauborg.  They had it, I bought it but he, the expert told me that it smelled like something that he smelled back in Dominica on an old woman.  Now this guy was young and attractive and presented himself as an expert in scents - said that he had been trained by a professional perfumery in New York.  So I asked him to recommend something and this was it.  I bought it, liked it, and actually kept it for myself.
