Due to Inclement Weather...

I was able to leave work early today! Yea! pour moi!! While I've got a few hours to take advantage of, I'm getting a head start on cleaning for the week; and thought I'd write down a few lines on some beauty products as I do my laundry. :)

My package from Vincent Longo arrived yesterday. It's missing the Cassata pressed powder and hope it will be shipped out soon since they charged my card for all three items. I like the lip and cheek stain in Liquid Kiss. I have the color Baby Boo that is more plum/berry whereas Liquid Kiss is more of a true red. The other item I ordered was a tool called a lamb's wool paddle. Have you heard of these? After looking around the internet, I spotted that Laura Geller's line carries these as well (higher in price vs. VL). I've no idea how to use it but it's the size that is laughable. It's tiny and fits well within the palm of my already small hands. I shall see if this is something where size doesn't matter...

The other day while perusing Walgreen's I saw a several items severely discounted. The original prices ranged from $20+usd. I had spotted these several weeks ago and was interested since one of the lines is Art Deco. I remember one of the youtube gurus always using the Art Deco eyeshadow primer. Unfortunately, the primer wasn't available, just skincare. The new asking price ranges from $6-10usd making this way more reasonable to give a try. I picked up their Liquid Silk Eye Cream. It's nice packaging...cellophane wrapped around the box that opens like a book to reveal a pump bottle that looks like Lisa Koffman's line of skincare. I'm impressed.

The other item I picked up is by la Fleur Organique. It's a Relaxing Massage Oil in Bergamot and Bitter Orange. I like the purple packaging with with the white stylized floral design. The bottle is a pump and made of glass. It smells very nice. I plan to use this in my hand and body creams for an extra oomph. Also, this will work well just as a simple perfume oil.

What else?.....I did pick up on another visit a new polish from Rimmel. It's called Steel Gray, I think...It's not at all a gray but a darker version of OPI's You Don't Know Jacques. I think it's also similar to Metro Chic but since I don't own this it's just presumption on my part. I haven't painted my nails with it yet but plan to do this tomorrow. I love having bad weather as an excuse not to get out but be lazy and putter around the house!

Have a great weekend! Stay safe in your in the line for this weather.

Well, you've picked up quite a few things! I'd love to see the Rimmel nail polish on you, if possible. :)

Have a great week ahead!

Will do. I never got around to it last weekend. My nails really need some attention. This dry air is making my cuticles scary. :(
