hypnotize me

On a recent trip to Sephora, I broke down and bought the shadow I've stalking by Nars Ondine a perfect plum with golden shimmer. It ill make a great addition for fall.


My surprise Nars purchase was a lipgloss in Ophelia. With a sheer pop of bright pink, it broke me out of a rut of neutral gloss.



My favorite item was the sample of hypnose drama mascara by Lancome. Wow with two coats I had perfect volume and nearly looked like I had added a few fake lashes. I will definitely be back to buy the full size.

Mario to the rescue

.....brothers? Batoli? no Badescu! I'm talking about my favorite skincare line Mario Badescu. Summer has taken a toll my my skin but it's Mario to the rescue.


I use their buttermilk moisturizer ever day, as seen in may's issue of Glamour and the glycolic cleaning gel 3 times a week to help unclog pores and gently exfoliate.

After a pesky breakout their healing cream (seen above) is a God send to avoid scaring and speed healing. I also love their cucumber or flour and tonic masks for regular maintenance.
