1. Nivea Visage Aqua Sensation – First thing that touches my face after water each morning. An invigorating and hydrating day cream with cucumber extract that freshens and wakens me up. Oh, hello! Also contains UVA/UVB protection.
2. Bare Escentuals Prime Time - bareVitamins foundation primer that smooths out skin, leaving it even and consistent for make-up application. I smooth this all over my face after my day cream has absorbed. Contains plant extracts, vitamins E and C and age-defying power.
3. Benefit Ooh La Lift – An eye booster that brightens eyes, making dark circles less visible through light-reflecting pigments. NOT a bag vanishing cream – it simply reflects light so circles look lighter. If you apply some and you can’t notice a thing: 1. You’re blind. 2. Tilt your head in different directions towards light and you will see it.
4. Benefit That Gal – A face brightening primer that brightens your face and evens out your skin tone. It’s light, has a pink tinge to it and smells delicious.  I use this after Prime Time by Bare Escentuals and before anything else.
5. Sheer Cover Concealor - You might be thinking Sheer Cover? I’ve never heard of that. So I was watching TV late at night when this infomercial (yes, infomercial!) came on. Too lazy to change the channel I kept watching… and watching… and watching. And then I was hooked. I finally came over the embarrassment of what I was doing and called in to buy it… only to find out it’s unavailable in Canada. So I ordered online and shipped it to the border. Check it: Sheer Cover.  Light-weight, great coverage, smooth texture. Yes, I’m a loser.
6. Too Faced Brow Envy – A complete brow control set I use to get those perfect eyebrows.
7. Rimmel Lash Maxxx – Rated R goodness in a hot pink and black tube. Need I say more? But really, I like this for its comb-toothed application brush. I only use it for my bottom lashes, and it gets every. single. one. By the time I’m finished with this, I actually have lashes.
8. MAC Lipstick – Stands out on the runway. Shimmers on the street. It’s true. Hue is one of my favorite cremesheen lipsticks. A creamy, nudie pink to give you that sexy, barely there pout.
9. Shu Uemura Curler – It’s a great eyelash curler. It really is. The only thing I don’t like (as I mentioned in a previous post) is that you can’t buy extra replacement pads for it.
10. Nars Blush/Bronzer Duo – in Orgasm and Laguna. It’s a pair made in heaven. I use the bronzer all over my face for a sun-kissed glow and the blush for my barely existent cheekbones.
11. Revlon Colorstay Liquid Liner – Inexpensive, smooth and bold. What more do you need?
12. Ardell Lashes – My absolute favorite brand of falsies. After all, I love my falsies.  The 110s are perfect for when you need to look extra flirtatious during the day without over-doing it. One of my pet peeves: Girls who don’t know the difference between a day and night look.
13. Cargo Eyelighter – I’m so happy I found you. With a double ended tip, you get both matte and shimmer for highlighting. Not sure how to use it? Just follow Cargo’s how to tutorial. Sephora stopped carrying Cargo, but you can find it at Eccotique Spas and Beauty Mark in Yaletown. At $20, it’s a steal!

And there you have it. All the shit that goes on this bunnie face most mornings.

XO,

not.

But it’s actually not too bad.
Thanks global warming… I guess.

Nothing beats a comfy, good looking yet effortless outfit. I admit, it was a bit cold… but it’s nothing compared to the weather we had last year here in Vancouver. 2010 is {almost} all about wearing no mittens, no scarves, no earmuffs and no multiple layers of socks.

The Creme Cup lipstick by MAC is one of my favorites. Sorry, my picture doesn’t give a true representation of the color – flash does deceiving things! {So does super shiny gloss.} So thank me for the swatch to the left, to the left. :)

XO,

Boys? Please, all I need is M·A·C.

I’m all for their concealers. Actually, I can’t remember using any other kind.

Their newest edition: Studio Sculpt Concealer.

Here’s what MAC has to say…

“A creamy concealer that provides full coverage with a natural matte finish. Brushes on with enough blend time to conceal any size of blemish. Rich formulation allows you to use a micro-amount of product to even out skin. Water-resistant and long-wearing.“

Couldn’t have said it better myself… {because I suck at writing}. Take a look for yourself. It’s super creamy with full coverage — doesn’t feel as thick and heavy as the Studio Finish SPF 35 which is what I was using before. It’s perfect if you want a more natural, smooth finish without the pound cake on yo face! {I have dry skin, heavy concealers tend to form crusties on me. Yum.}

So girlies, for now it’s just me and my boyfriend, MAC.

However, when the pot runs dry, I’ll want a new one because honestly, I get bored easily.

So tell me, what’s concealing you? After all, sharing is caring and I KNOW you care.

XO,
