Frequently forgotten during the application process, eyeshadow primer serves three very important purposes. It prevents creasing, keeps color vivid, and helps the product last all day without reapplication. Urban Decay’s Primer Potion is excellent in this regard. It conceals any redness on the lids, and provides some traction for your eyeshadow to wear all day!

LORAC Mini Lip Polishes
I fell in love with the idea of mini-glosses, and splurged on this adorable set of LORAC mini lip polishes, called "Tempt Me-Tease Me-Taste Me". This set comes with 8 shades of lip polish. Despite the vivid appearance of the colors in the tube, each is a very sheer and neutral gloss, perfect for a variety of complexions. They also have the most delightful fragrance. Is that mint I detect?
Despite their tiny size and my regular use, I have yet to run out of one! My favorite part is that I can scatter them to the wind, and have a gloss on hand wherever I go. One in my bag, the other in the car, the other in the kitchen… so convenient!
Benefit High Beam
I’m always in the market for any product that will give my skin a special glow. Benefit High Beam is excellent in that capacity. I simply dotted the liquid on the tops of my cheekbones and above the brow, and blended.
I love the shimmery, iridescent glow it gave my skin, and the way it plays tricks with the light to make my cheeks look more defined and my eyes pop!

Peter Thomas Roth Botanical Oasis Body Wash
When my son was a newborn, and I would sit up with him in the wee hours of the morning in a semi-delirious sleep-deprived state, my thoughts would drift to my favorite day spa. It seemed so long ago that I had been able to indulge myself in such a luxury. A 90 minute massage… A body scrub and masque… I would practically drool, so strong was my desire for pampering.
If only I had Peter Thomas Roth Botanical Oasis Body Wash at the time. The use of the word “oasis” in the product name is more than appropriate. This body wash is like a 5 minute visit to a day spa, but in the convenience of your own home. The luxurious lather softens the skin, and leaves a faint heavenly scent that even reminds me of my favorite spa. They call the scent “red tea and bergamot”, I just call it yummy.
