Buy It: L'Oreal Studio Secrets Quad in Cobalt Smokes...

I purchased L'Oreal Studio Secrets quad in Cobalt Smokes after seeing an Eva Longoria's L'Oreal Ad in Cobalt Smokes (CORRECTION: She's wearing Blackened Smokes. iFAIL). Her ad makes the quad look black smoky eye kit but it actually a dark blue smoky eye kit.
The colors are highly pigmented but not so pigmented you can't do a subtle look with it. You don't have to built so much to get intensity.

L'Oreal are you stepping you drugstore game up or what?

Guess that Milani/Wet N' Wild nipping at your heels was getting a bit much! Ha!
Here's my look....I did the grey blue color in the inner eye to the middle, then the navy satin color from the inner eye to outer....smoked it out in the corner with the black satin( it should have been a matte, would have gave a but more darkness)....and white highlighter( a bit on the crumbly side) under the crease. I used a taupe colored from the BH Cosmetics 120 3rd edition palette to blend.....
Not much work required.

Great quad for a beginner who wants a smokey eye/evening eye look in one palette at low cost or just to practice with.

To take it up a notch, liquid liner on the top lid would be great.:)

Green Glam: The Anti Water Bottle...Vapur....

I'm water snob....Only Dasani and Smart Water fill the bill but I noticed how super wasteful I was being when I would look down in the trash can and see three or more empty plastic bottles. Vapur claims to have the answer to wasteful people like me!

Vapur is a fold able, reusable water bottle. It folds and collapse in your handbag, makeup bag( perfect for professional kits) or purse. Just fill in with water when ready. Its also freezable!

I tried out the "Smoke" colored one. I really should have gotten a colored one. I could never found this in my black handbag. Remember that purchasing one, choose a bright color!!! I filled it with filtered tap water and put it in the freezer overnight and indeed it froze. However, I had a bit of a problem with the condensation as it melted. Other than that, it was a perfect water bottle as I worked at the computer. I later took it my kids t-ball practice and EVERYONE wanted to know where I got it from. Indeed, its a cool idea!

Vapur bottle holds 16 oz of water or 0.5L. I would love for them to make a small one, for the kiddies and my random sips I need in a small container. You can also buy replacement spouts and caps.

Oily Skin Solutions: Lily Organics Oil-Free Skin Conditioning Serum....

Well, the battle with my oily/combination skin has started. I had pretty good summer but now that wind is blowing and its still 90 degrees outside but goes into 50-60s at night, my face has taken ad interesting turn.:( Woe is me!!

Lily Organics graced me with their Oil-Free Skin Conditioning Serum to try. Its a moisturizer for Normal/Oil Skin, free of synthetic chemicals. When I mean free I mean, FREE. Its seriously natural...check out the ingredients:

(Vegan) Aloe vera gel, water herbal complex of seaweeds, purified water, vegetable glycerin, tincture of lily, certified organic chamomile, certified organic St. John’s wort, feverfew, certified organic calendula, certified organic comfrey, hops, certified organic horsetail, certified organic rosemary, arnica, xanthan gum, and citrus seed extract and essential oils

Pros:

-I found it easy to put on and felt really great on my skin. Its a gel like consistency but doesn't dry taunt on the skin, it just soaks in. I used it more during my daytime routine and found that I wasn't as oily as quick as my usual moisturizer. It work well for the summer and I hope that it carry me into the fall and winter months just as well.

Cons:

-Its so natural that it smells very "natural" like sea weed. lol! So if you are one of those "I must smell floral/berry or unscented people", this will initially bother you. But after it soaks in, you dont smell it at all, the scent dissipates.

-The price tag on a 2oz is $31.19. However you can buy a 1/4 oz trial size for $4.39 to see if it works for you. But to be honest, we spend wayyy more on that on an eye-shadow palette and this is skin care that will preserve your most valuable organ. Its worth the price:)
