Once in a while a product comes along that seems revolutionary. This is one of them.

I have a SA to thank for sharing this with me the other day. I could feel an immediate difference even with some other product likely still on my eyes.

It is pricey, but in this case you get what you pay for.

Eyelid lifter, wrinkle minimizer, anti-bags, anti-dark circles
What more could you want!

Most lifting products are drying — that’s what makes them work.
This is not drying, and it is not like other lifting eye creams I have ever used.

It can also be used as an eye mask, once or twice a week
I have not done this yet.

My take
The SA was turning 64 she said. Her eyes looked as if she could have had surgery, but she had not.

She and I both agree that the Orchidee eye cream didn’t seem to do much. (I have had a sample.) I preferred the lip and eye cream to the Orchidee. But I prefer this cream over anything else I own. That, of course, means I have others to use up and not replenish.

My eyes are hooded, always have been, but they feel more open — seriously! And they felt this way from the first application.

Do yourself a favor and find a counter that sells this. Let them put some on you. See if you don’t agree.

In a month we’ll have to see if we see a difference in my eyes. In the meantime, I feel a difference.

Do you use this?
Have you ever tried this? What do you think? It seems like magic to me.

Chanel Les Quatre eye shadow Sublimes: Marine, Beige Rose, Granite, Clear Blue
I rarely use this set, but I should use it more often. I originally bought it because I didn’t have anything in this color family. All my blues were more of a normal blue.

This set leans toward teal. If you make an X, the upper right and lower left are both light shades, though I’ve never worn them alone, say, for day. Thinking about it, I wonder why, and want to do it sometime soon.

The opposite line, are two darks, very dark and extremely dark. One looks black-blue; the other looks black-black-blue. They would be very dramatic if used for evening — or even to achieve a goth look.

You can see where I laid the lines. I used the lighter of the two dark blues to dryline the bottom. The darkest to dryline the top.

Arbonne mascara, 2 step. La Prairie brow pencil. Dior skinflash concealer with a touch of Arbonne in the outer corners.

Chanel foundation; my sparkly powder mix, followed by BE mineral veil sort of like a bronzer.

Highlight: Benefit Georgia
Blush: YSL # 19, also used as a bronzer

Lips: NYX Aphrodite + rimmed with Beauté Paramour (and a touch in the center.)

What do you think?

I really love Arbonne’s Enyzme Peel. I think you are supposed to use it at night, which I am bad about doing, alternating nights with the night cream.

It is very gentle, not at all harsh or peely feeling.

But it works.

My recent trip sans luggage for a week when we traveled to Antarctic probably set my skin back a bit.

But it seemed as good as new after a week of using my own products.

The last two days I’ve used the peel in the day time, then after an hour or so, I put my daytime moisturizers on and did my foundation.

My skin has never looked better, and it fixed what ailed me.

Have you tried it? Who knew it is only supposed to take 10 minutes — and it really does look great in 10 minutes. Is this a magic product? Maybe so. At least in my book.

Puzzle solved! It can be used two ways: alternating nights with the night cream, or using it more heavily as a mask, covering it with a warm damp cloth — I’ve never tried that, will have to one of these days.

Illuminate your skin with an exotic cocktail of natural fruit enzymes from African papaya and Far East pineapple that gently exfoliate, revealing a more even complexion and noticeably smoother-looking skin. In just 10 minutes the peel purifies and revitalizes the look of tired skin for a more youthful, radiant appearance.

Papaya and pineapple extracts, vitamin A & E, various RE9® elements

I wanted to use the Dior 902 quint again. This time alone.

The colors are:
Top: Brownish purple, light-medium beige; lower: deep peacock green, medium brown (they say gilded brown); middle: violet magenta.

You can pretty well tell where I put the colors. I drylined the top with the green. I drylined the lower with magenta. Arbonne concealer and mascara. La Prairie brow pencil.

I’m sorry that I don’t remember today what the other colors were for lips or cheeks.

I liked this when I was done and wondered why I hadn’t used it in so long!

I want to know what happens to lost posts in the scheme of things. I wrote this up recently and it is now in Internet Never Neverland. Here’s hoping this one is as good, if not better.

….

I bet you thought I’d tell you how to smoosh two colors together in a little pot and use a lip brush. Well, you could do that, for sure, and it would work, if you came up with a combo you really liked, but this is easier and gives you a lot more color options.

….

If I am going to combine colors, I generally start with one color on my top lip and one color on my bottom lip. Sometimes the sum of two lipsticks is better than its parts, at least for a particular day.

Here’s what I did yesterday to show you:

Top Lip:
AL Gothic Lolita Wallflower This is a gorgeous color on its own, but not one I would have chosen. It is truly a perfect blend of pink and peach. And I can wear it well. I’m getting a full lippie. Kristin always includes samples with every order, and this color was one of my free samples. It is a perfect mix of peach and pink.

I chose it for this tutorial because you can see how you can add more cool tones to it.

Bottom Lip
NYX Purple Rain lip gloss
As you can see, this is quite purple.

Then I smoosh my lips together until the colors are blended. You can see how each color softens the other. I have also changed the consistency of the lippies: the gloss is more lipsticky, and the lipstick is more glossy. The color now is more plummy.

What I like about this is that both lipsticks stay fresh and clean. If I want to use them alone or in combination with other colors, I can. And I know I’m starting out with a particular color, not one that has layers of other colors over or in it.

This same technique works when using sample ziplocks. I am careful not to mix colors within the bags. I often use a little pointed plastic wand to grab some color and smooth it over my lips. It transfers almost completely off the wand, unlike a lipstick brush that you might have to wipe off.

Here are some other quick ways to use this technique:
Balancing your lips
This same technique can be used if you are trying to balance your lips. Put the lighter color on the smaller lip. Smoosh carefully and that lip will still be a tad lighter. Whatever is lighter comes forward and looks brighter or larger.

Highlighting the center
Apply the light color fully to one lip and the center of the other lip. Put the second color on the outsides of the second lip. Smoosh, and your center is highlighted.

You can do this more strongly by lining your lips and filling in or going over the outside edges. You can do this with a navy eye pencil, believe it or not, just be careful to blend well and choose a navy that is the right shade for your skin and lip tone. I use a medium navy; dark navy is a little difficult to blend. (I did not use it in this picture.)

I wanted to try some of the new Lancome products, so I asked a SA to do a makeover on me.

She used the new Lancome minerals in the lightest shade, Natural Ivory 10. She tried the next deepest on one side (she says they get lighter on the face) but she felt it looked too dark, so she used the 10 on the other side. I told her to just put some 10 on the other side, so one side is a bit more made up than the other. I’d prefer it a bit sheerer.

The SA said the foundation doesn’t look good on everyone, but she loved it on me, that it gave me a glow.

Since I don’t normally wear mineral foundation, I think I’d like to go in to see if I can apply it correctly before I buy it. The brush is super scrumptuous! It feels like velvet, just like their claims. I am going to have to get this, at least.

*The Lancôme innovation: skin-renewing White Sapphire Complex* helps fight visible signs of aging. Skin looks brighter, revived and feels softer for hours.
* Experience the velvety brush for a blissful, effortless, controlled application.
*11 luxurious, long-wearing natural shades – free of talc, oil and fragrance
*Aloe, Vitamin E, Mica, Alumina, Bismuth Oxychloride

Blush: I’ll have to ask her. She started off thinking browner, but was glad she chose this. [Update: Sheer Amarose]
Lipstick: Groupie, a gorgeous color. I wanted her to do it by itself, with no pencil. After cataloguing my pencils, I’m simply not going to get another one. (Maybe, LOL!) Lippies will have to stand on their own.

Eyes:
Eyeshadows were a duo, I think Emerald, Green on one side, a sort of sandy taupe on the other. She started thinking apricot and pink, but wasn’t sure. I said try the green — you’re sure??!! Yes, I knew I could wear the green. Loved this color.

After applying a base, she applied the taupy shade up to my brows, then the green. She used a green pencil on the lower lid, then topped it with more of the green shadow.

Mascara: Extreme Black — I don’t own this one, but I’m going to. Talk about lash power! I don’t know how I missed this mascara.

BookGirl said
She loved the lippie; prefers the way I do my eyes.

My take
Very pretty minerals, if they work for you, color and all. Loved, loved, loved the brush!! Loved the lippie and the eyeshadows.

How about you?
Do you own these shadow or lip colors? Do you wear the foundation? How do you like it on me?

Wow! this was fun! Thanks to Elena for giving me the idea yesterday.

Do you want a little drama and edge in your life?
Try a little black lippie, especially since they are moving out of Goth and into mainstream, albeit high fashion.
Yves St. Laurent has a black gloss.
Chanel has black lippies in different color hues, not like their famous Vamp lippie, a burgundy-black. These would be black-whatever-color-tone-you-pick of the three.
NYX has a black gloss.
Fyrinnae has Monochrome, a matte black lip lustre.

Is it still Goth, if mainstream isn’t far behind?

Could I make my own? Yes!
I figured I could come up with my own, yes!

I also wanted to try it with one of Aromaleigh’s wonderful black shadows. But there was no time. Maybe tomorrow.

Step 1:
Base: Avon Beyond Color Lip Plumping Conditioner
This would allow the pencil to go on without pulling. And also, hopefully, not stain my lips.
Choosing a black eye pencil.
I used Revlon Wet Dry Blackest Black
I wondered about my really black Shiseido and my not-quite-as-black Shiseido, but for this, I chose Revlon.

What a gorgeous shimmery black! But I didn’t have my eyes on yet, and it was morning, and I knew I wanted to tame it down.

For real drama
This would be a beautiful shade colored on both lips, with a touch of gloss up the center.

The bottom lippie is Milani Lip Mixer Gloss 704. I wanted to bring it into a burgundy look. Next time I might try lipstick instead of gloss.

My youngest 2 girls were looking at me wondering what the heck!

Step 2:
Smoosh the lips together.
It was really quite black, and the pencil shimmered through it.

My girls thought it was way too dark for me. But I wasn’t finished with the rest of my makeup. If you could see the full shots here, you would certainly agree with them. But I’m not sharing them!

Step 3: Add gloss up the middle of the lip to highlight
Lancome Starlight White with silver glitter
Milani Glitzy Glow Girl to pink it up some

Finished FOTD I’ll post more FOTD shortly.
Looking good.

I felt like bright turquoise today, and that made me think immediately of the colors that Aromaleigh has.

Eyes: all Aromaleigh, except where noted:
Crease: caribe, pure hue
Outer corners: aqua nightmare, gothic lolita
Inner corners: endless sea, rocks! sonic eyes
Drylined upper and lower: moonagedaydream, rocks! sonic eyes
Tight Lined upper and wet lined lower: Jordana Sterling Blue
Brows: Clinique soft blonde pencil
Mascara: Guerlain Le2 (double sided with small brush for lower lashes)

Foundation: Lancome minerals — still trying to figure out how — and how much — to use; see how funky my nose looks here? I saw it in sunlight and took care of it. Generally I leave everything off my nose for this reason.
Powder: Lancome minerals
Highlight: AL magnolia blossom
Blush: AL english rose (a powder, not a blush, that didn’t show up, so used it across my face, lightly)
Blush: Meow Masterpiece Water Lilies

Lips:
NYX Lips Hebe — this one doesn’t migrate. It’s got a lovely sheen to it, doesn’t feel slippery — and it doesn’t move into liplines around the mouth.

Time for a FOTD again…it’s been a while since I’ve posted a new one.

Eyes: I wanted to go back to some AL old standbys, colors that I love, as well us use a new sample I received.
Outer corner: Lilypad satin petals frost
Crease and lower lash dry lined: Jade pure eyes frost — looks deep, but goes on brighter
Lined: Black powder on top
Over lined top and bottom: Delilah bete noire glitter — these glitters look wonderful; I’ll be trying out more over the next couple of days.
Mascara: BE Buxom

Face:
comparing two shades and formulas of foundation, applied over Hourglass Veil primer, each side of my face, all else is the same [Olay cream on right; Revlon liquid on left]; Chanel cream blush under my sparkly powder mix; Arbonne Promise as blush; Mary Kay highlighter up the center of my face.

Lippie AL Sweet Tart Gothic Lolita Collection over Down Under Healing lipbalm
This is a beautiful neutral shimmery pink.

Warm mauve pearl from Summer 2009 Natural mineral lip products have an average lifespan of 6-9 months due to the nourishing base oils and butters used in their formulation.

What do you think?
It’s no secret I love AL colors. So far my AL lippies have held up well, all but one color which I replaced, lasting over the time frame AL lists for their lippies.

Each gloss color (there are has a different man on the cap. And — so silly — when you tilt the tube, the man is stripped to his underwear — front on one side, rear on the other. It’s a conversation stopper!

It will be hard to choose from David, Julio, Eric, Jesse, James, Kirk, Timothy, or Doug.

This formula is so slick and cushiony, you would love it even in a plain ol’ tube. Ulta

Yes.

Brush
Yes.

Lip plumping, high-shine and moisturizing
Yes.

Additionally Ulta is giving away 2 free 24/7 Glide-on pencils ($18 value) with any $20 UD purchase — and on top of that $3.50 off (valid until 3-13-10) of any $10 purchase with the code 40162.

I like UD pencils. Now I just wish I could see the colors of the Rocket Lip Gloss in person.

Our recent trip, half of which was without our luggage, showed that it is possible to be a minimalist, which those of you who know me, know that I am not.

I do, however, pack light. I traveled to China 3 times with one suitcase — and a second one for my daughters.

I could pack considerably lighter if I wore no makeup and used no moisturizer. (I can hear you laughing!) And if I didn’t need clothes or jackets for cold weather.

It used to be that my carry on had my makeup and hair products, because I felt that I could wear just about anything, if the rest of me looked good. Now, with the regulations about what can be carried on, it is impossible. (I believe I will try to do it next time, however, taking small portions of some of the products that can be repackaged.)

I am very picky about the products I use, as those of you who read my blog know. I’ve found products that work for me, and I prefer to use them.

I know David will understand this, as he was without the moisturizer that works for him. I hope he comments and tells us what it is.

I mean seriously, who gets up in the morning and thinks I will use products that I like the least: I think I will look my second best today!

My firm belief is that anyone can enhance his or her appearance with the right skin products and color — even men!

Here’s what I did: I used the hair products in our cabin, and bought two things to use along with (a shine product and a curl enhancer) (which were more expensive and less effective than what I had in my lost luggage.) Limited to what was available on the boat: I used a sample of moisturizer from Estee Lauder (whereas I usually layer up), borrowed eye makeup remover and a sample of Lancome makeup, and bought a Lancome travel set of eye and face makeup. (By contrast our last cruise on Royal Caribbean offered more upscale indie products and much more perfumes.)

I traveled with my own brushes and samples of Aromaleigh shadows. So at least I had those!

Most days I wore makeup from the night before until after I swam, then I redid for the evening (and next day.) Yiyiyi.

And I had a great time! No one knew what my best is anyway. Ha!

It was more important to make the boat, though I think my luggage is more well traveled than I am and likely has a story to tell!

One of the young women also lost her luggage and received it the same day we did. She looked radiant in her own clothes, fixing her hair the way she is used to, and having her own makeup. She said to me, “Do you see why I was so upset not to have my own things?”

By contrast Book Girl was loaned both beautiful and functional clothes. She looked fab the whole time.

I was able to make do with the clothes on my back and a couple of T’s from Delta and the cruise. I had a couple of necklaces and a scarf. I wore a denim skirt — and thankfully I had worn tennis shoes, not the sandals I had packed, so my feet weren’t cold in Antarctica.

I threatened to wear a toga, as I had in college! But I didn’t. It might have been fun!

On cold days, I layered blankets under my skirt — and wrapped a heavy plaid blanket over me to go out on deck.

And I had a blast.

I think I will try to pack even lighter next trip. Take half out again. I am tired of schlepping luggage! The hardest thing was my hair, but it is possible to do with a whole lot less than what we are used to.

You can see an iceberg behind me.

What I think:
Having my own moisturizers is a definite plus. My skin looks better each day. Someone asked me after I got home if I was rested, because I looked so good. Ha! we lost more sleep than I care to count — and got up early and hit the road running. But I was happy, and it shows.

My hair definitely did better with my own products, and I wouldn’t want to go much longer than I did (a week.) But it was still in good condition.

Now that I’m a bit more rested, I’d even consider another trip — in the future!

I was going for the look of the new Shiseido ad or the cover of Allure with Taylor Swift on it. Both feature bright red lips. For the sense of vibrancy, it reminded me of Anja’s look in a Theme Week at Aromaleigh.

Shiseido’s ad is likely photo shopped to get such white skin. What a gorgeous picture! What a gorgeous woman!

You can see the Allure cover, here.

I used the lightest shade of makeup I have, which is too light for me, then used white liquid highlighter over much of it to get it even lighter.

It’s too red and too bright for day unless it were December, but we are going to a party tonight, and I think the look will translate well.

Sorry for the smudge here on the eye. I took care of it after the pictures.

Eyes: AL Balsam in crease
Pencil lined: Maybelline navy blue on top; MAC Light as Air, bright blue on lower with Sephora Flashy Silver white in the waterline
Dry Lined: AL Swank top and lower
Then AL Spaceoddity, then AL disintegration rocks! glam glitter to bring it more turquoise like the Shiseido ad
Brows: La Prairie pencil

Primer: AL
Foundation: Tova cream Lightest of lightest duo
Highlight: Clinique Zero Base A white, very shimmery liquid. I’d prefer it to be half as shimmery.
Powder: my sparkly mix
Lips: Shiseido 104

What do you think?

I sleep on my side. Generally, I would wake up with deep creases across my chest up to my neck. I have been faithful about using products on my chest the past few years, but nothing has really done much.

Except, it’s been 5 days using Arbonne’s body serum and lotion on my chest, arms, feet.

The first day when I woke, I had no deep creases.

Here’s what I look like after 5 days.

Repeat after me: they better never discontinue this product. I will never be without it.

What do you think?
Pretty amazing, isn’t it. Do you use these products? If you have a need, you should!

I’ve been using 3 pumps/arms (now I use 4, one for each quadrant); 1/2-1 pump on my chest; 1 pump/foot of the serum. I haven’t made a dent in the serum. I might have used up about an inch of the lotion — 1 pump covers both arms, basically; 1 short pump for each foot; short pump for my chest. I use whatever is left over for my hands.

To buy Arbonne from Bookgirl, if you don’t have a representative, just ask me.

NYX Glitter Pallet is available in a number of colors online from Cherry Culture or in store at Ulta. This is from the Paradise pallet.

I got my hair cut today, and it surely needed it! Everywhere I went, someone mentioned how well they liked my eye makeup. The pink glitter is very becoming.

Eyes:
Base: Dior pink toned cream shadow
Crease: NYX Glitter Pallet Pink — bright bubble gum color with multi light pastel glitter
Outer Corner: NYX GP Dark Black with Multi Glitter
Lined top in waterline: Mary Kay black eye pencil
Lined bottom in waterline with MAC graphblack, just outside with earthline
Drylined bottom outside MAC: Ulta Jade mineral powder looks green, pulls gold from the glitter
Mascara:
Top: Lancome Cils primer, Oscillation over it;
Bottom: Definicils
Blush: MAC Dollymix
Brows: Merle Norman powder

Highlight: my own shimmer powder mix, no time for anything else, topped with a bit on BE on my nose

Lips:
Revlon Wine with everything cream gloss
This is a very pretty color. I thought I might want to add silver glitter, but it has a gleam all its own. This is the formula I liked so well.

Again, I used DuWop Reverse Liner just to make sure it wouldn’t migrate, but I don’t know that I needed to. It’s still going strong a couple of hours later.

Verdict:
I raced through trying this product for the first time in order to be on time for my hair cut. You can see how it went on uneven. The pallet has great colors and I will definitely try it again. It comes with 1 applicator with sponges on each end and 1 applicator that has a sponge on one end and a brush on the other. I don’t see how you could use the brush. The product is suspended in a heavy gel. It’s not particularly waxy, but it means the glitter stays put.

I used my finger to apply it because nothing else worked.

One reviewer talked about using this as liner and having to go over it several times to get it even, but that it lasted all night. I have other glitter liners that are a lot easier to use. I don’t know that I would try this as liner. Maybe! She talked about using it on her face, arms, decolletage, etc.

I need to play with it some more, but meantime I look good enough to race around town anyway!

What do you think?

I wanted to do the same colors as Thursday, but minus Ladystardust, which brought it more into a rosy look than a lavender. I had only used ladystardust on Thursday, because I couldn’t put my hands on Imperial, which I found and added on top of ladystardust. This look, Friday, is more straight lavender, which I love. I still used Aqua Nightmare to dryline the lower lid.

All other colors are the same, except I used
Lips: BE Bare Beach, rimmed with Allure
Blush: BE Vintage Peach
Highlight: AL Whisper up the center of my face.
AL drama queen violet to line top lid.

Again, I was inspired by Nina’s look.
