Project Runway Season Premiere!
Don't forget Project Runway starts tonight! 10 pm EST on Lifetime!
So excited!!!
So excited!!!
Origins
I know I'm not following my list of upcoming blog posts but this is worth mentioning!!!
So last week Origins was offering a free $20 skincare gift with any purchase. I can't say that I have ever ordered anything from Origins before. As I was looking through the website I came across Clean Energy Gentle Cleansing Oil. It was shipped immediately and I received my order in 4 days. Plus I liked the way it was hand packaged. Love that!
The instructions say to massage the cleansing oil on to dry skin. And it does feel like an oil. Then you are to add water and continue massaging into a "milky lotion." Let me just say, it smells like a soothing spa facial treatment. It smells of lavender and citrus, sort of lemony. It is a gorgeous clean scent. The oil leaves your skin feeling so soft and smooth! I love it!
For years I battled oily skin and I truly thought I had oily skin. Thankfully, I never suffered from breakouts. But I found out that I was stripping my skin of it's precious oils and it was overcompensating. Indeed, during my very first facial the woman asked me what cleanser I used. She said my skin was very dry. I was thinking, "Okay, what is this lady trying to sell me?" I knew I had oily skin, I even avoided a moisturizer because I thought I didn't need it. Well she was trying to sell me her products but she also shared with me a very important piece of information. The more you strip your skin of it's oils, the more it will produce. She told me to switch to a cream based cleanser right away and incorporate a moisturizer.
I've been using the cleansing oil for the past few days and I absolutely love it. It was $19.50. Pretty pricey I know for a savvy shopper but it's made with natural oils and it cleans my face beautifully. It also came with $20 worth of free gifts. I picked the Age fighting kit. This kit includes A Perfect World Antioxidant cleanser with White Tea and Modern Friction Nature's gentle dermabrasion. I haven't tried these two products yet.
They are perfect travelling sizes so I may just put them in my train case for the next roadtrip. It also came with A Perfect World White tea skin guardian that is to be worn under a moisturizer. I put it on after cleansing my face one night and it has a very silky feel to it. The website says this, "Protect your skin against the damaging effects of oxidative stress with the now-famous White Tea wonder. Creates a protective bubble around skin. Helps build skin's resistance to environmental damage and visible signs of aging." We'll all need a little of that for sure! http://www.origins.com/templates/products/search_results.tmpl?KEYWORDS=a+perfect+world I have not tried it on under a moisturizer during the day however to see how my makeup holds up with it's presence. More on that later!

Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland Book of Shadows
I have yet to purchase an Urban Decay Book of Shadows but this might be my first when it is released on January 15th! Can't hurt that it is pay day either! Yay!
Click on the link for an email blast of the colors. http://www.urbandecay.com/promo/contest/Alice/
According to the website, there will be 16 best-selling colors that will be given names from the film. Very exciting stuff! 2 mini 24/7 eye pencils and eye promer potion are included with the palette. I hope the purple color on the top left is Fishnet. Love that color.
I think Kara DioGuardi (American Idol Judge) had a smokey look with a very similar purple. It may have been a bluer purple though. If anyone out there knows what her make-up was last night let me know! She wore the look on the second audition day in Boston.
The palette will be $52. Pretty pricey but with the primer potion and 2 mini eyeliners (zero and flipside), it comes with a lot of product! I did a little research and Pursebuzz has exclusive swatches of the 16 eyeshadows. http://www.pursebuzz.com/2010/01/exclusive-urban-decay-alice-in-wonderland-palette-shadow-swatches/ Gorgeous colors!
So here are my guesses to the possible colors starting from top left:
1. Underland is Fishnet from Deluxe Shadow Box
2. Alice is Peace from Deluxe Shadow Box
3. Oraculum is Baked from Get Baked Eyeshadow Palette
4. Queen is Last Call from Eyeshadow Ammo Shadow Box
5. Chesser is Scratched from Deluxe Shadow Box
6. White Rabbit is Polyester Bride from Eyeshadow Ammo Shadow Box
7. Wonderland is Underground from Deluxe Shadow Box
8. Curiouser is Grifter from Eyeshadow Ammo Shadow Box
9. Muchness is Shag from Deluxe Shadow Box
10. Mushroom is Diamond Dog??? (Stardust Eyeshadow)
11. Midnight tea party is Midnight cowboy from Wallpaper Shadow Box
12. Vorpal is Moon Spoon??? (Stardust Eyeshadow)
13. Absolem is Mildew from Ammo Plus Primer Set
14. Drink me, eat me is Space Cowboy??? (Stardust Eyeshadow)
15. Mad hatter is Twice baked from Get Baked Eyeshadow Palette
16. Jabberwocky is Oil Slick from Eyeshadow Ammo Shadow Box
I guess we'll see on Friday! Lovely choices Urban Decay!
