By far, THE BEST eyeshadow available

LOVE! The plush and vivid color has such a lightweight, spongy texture so it’s in your control whether you dial up the color or tone it down. Plus, it’s waterproof so it will stay put on your eyelid like it should!

Moreover (and actually my favorite reason and the reason why I bought this eye shadow in the first place), each shade is named after a dog breed. So many cosmetic companies align themselves with a charity these days, but Bare Escentuals is making a $20,000 charitable contribution to Canine Companions for Independence - a non-profit organization that enhances the lives of people with disabilities by providing highly trained assistance dogs.

The very best cleanser available!

I am a skincare fanatic and this is the only one that is tried and true! As long as you are good to your skin and consistent with your washing regimen, you should not be putting crazy harsh chemicals on it. Cetaphil is a perfect gentle cleanser, and is perfect for all skin types. And of course, you cannot beat its price. Hands down, my favorite beauty secret.

Wild and Earthy! Such a unique and delish scent!

I have a wardrobe of fragrances depending on the season and mood I’m in, but one of my favorite fragrances these days is Jo Malone’s Wild Fig & Cassis. Best of all, it is also available in candle form!

Now, this scent is definitely not for everyone. It is quite earthy. But, I love fig, and this is fig in its truest form – the top note smells like fig leaves and has a woodsy smell. The cassis is almost an afterthought, just enough to give a fruity smell, but then it is tempered with the pine and hyacinth. The scent was inspired by a breakfast in Tuscany, and it takes you to a warm summer day in the Mediterranean. It is seriously the most unique scent I’ve ever smelled and I absolutely love that my home smells like the Italian countryside! Mi piace!
