Eye makeup remover

My friend Natalie and I went to Central Park for the day on Saturday and had one of those excellent New York City days, where we strolled through the park, soaked in some sun, lounged like lazy lions (are lions lazy?), stopped for wine at a great spot called Wine and Roses on the upper west side, and stopped in to Lancome's flagship store on Columbus and 69th Street. 

We played with makeup for over an hour and with our hands filled with sticky lip gloss, eye pencil marks and streaks of eye shadow, we grabbed cotton swabs soaked in Bi-Facil and we were back in action, and back to the shadows! Bi-Facil successfully removes waterproof eye makeup and is gentle enough for those with sensitive skin, and ophthalmologist-tested for contact lens wearers. 

A makeup artist friend of mine told me recently that if you don't remove your mascara at night, your lashes will fall off (which does not help in the youth-department because they do not grow back!)  I'm tellin' you, treat yourself, you'll love this stuff.  http://lancome.com, $26.

O-Gloss


I recently got a call from my friend Julie who told me I had to go out and buy Smashbox's new lip gloss O-Gloss immediately. She told me a great story about how her daughter Caroline was beyond upset to see Mom's pink turned out very differently than hers. Caroline wanted Mom's pink! 

O-Gloss is the first "intuitive lip gloss". Every person's pink is different, based on their chemistry. O-Gloss is very smooth, not sticky and has wonderful ingredients like avocado oil and Goji Berry-C Complex for moisture and shine. My pink is a subtle pink, but I have to tell you this gloss absolutely rocks on blondes! A blonde friend recently whipped O-Gloss out of her bag and I felt just like Caroline, I want her pink!! How fun right?!!

You can buy Smashbox at http://smashbox.com and this delicious pink pout will cost you $22.00 with free shipping in the U.S.
