So, in my quest to have quick and easy, yet still “done” looking make-up, I have found 2 new products I adore!
Urban Decay Primer Potion in Sin
I have already discussed the original UDPP, and shared what a great job it does of keeping my eye-shadow looking fresh all day. The UDPP in Sin is even better. It is the same formula, but tinted with a shimmery champagne colour. I love it! I can use it on my own to give my eyes a nice wash of colour, or as an eye-shadow base that does double duty as the first, all-over lid colour.
Sexy Curves Mascara by Rimmel
My new Holy Grail every-day Mascara (BadGal and DiorShow stay in a tie for evening mascara). Gives great curl, length, volume and definition in just one coat.
Here are some pics of my eyes with nothing but these two products. My lashes were NOT curled or combed in these pics, just mascarad (I know, not a word!):

The Girl and I have been hitting La Senza a lot lately.
No, not for sexy little things. La Senza’s little things don’t fit my big things.
We go because the girl LOVES La Senza girl. She has decided it is the only store fashionable enough for her since getting a gift card for her birthday.
As for me, I go for the Victoria’s Secret Cosmetics and Body products they carry!
Beauity Rush lip-glosses are so nice. They smell sweet and fruity, taste like they small, and give a beautifully shiny lightly tinted glow to the lips. Juiced berry is a gorgeous sparkly dark pink that would look great on any kisser.
I am also addicted to the Luminous Eye-shadow. These come in a little tube with a smudgy brush attached to the handle. They are great for creating a thick line along the lash, which can be blended upward (with your finger or a clean brush) upwards for a gorgeously shaded one colour lid. Brown to Earth is perfect for day, and Starry Night for…well..night (or a day I feel like looking extra pretty, since I don’t go anywhere at night except the supermarket which is open to 11pm!)
Right now, all the Beauty Rush Products are 5 for 20$ at La Senza!!!
As well, right now all the Victoria Secret Secret Garden Body Products are 5 for 15 at La Senza$! I love the body washes. The lotions and sprays are nice too, but if I wear fragrances like that all day-migraine city!
Love Spell and Pure Seduction are my favorite…both are fresh yet sexy! Great lather, and leave skin feeling smooth and clean! Amber Romance is a musky sexy spicy scent I also love, but unfortunately it is migraine inducing for me.

Nothing new. Nothing you don’t alrerady know. Just whining. My calves, pelvic area, ligaments under my uterus, lower-back and neck always feel achy no matter what I do. My hands and wrists are stiff and achy. Add the non-stop exhaustion…and I am just so done! Oh well…only a few more weeks.
In non-pregnancy related whining, I am mad at Sephora! A few weeks ago I got a $15 gift card from them online for being a Sephora insider. Today I decided it was time for some retail therapy so I went to use it…only to discover (and it does say this on the e-mail) that I cannot use it in Canada or for orders to Canada. Grr. This makes me so angry, since when I applied for the Insider card I had to give my address (and they have it, I get snail mail from Sephora regularly). They KNOW I am in Canada, so why would they be so cruel as to send me e-mail offers that are not applicable to those in Canada? Evil Evil Sephora.

but I did it:
Also, some new cosmetic pictures. I know, it has been a while.
I’ve been hearing a lot aobut using white eye-liner in the inside corner lately, so I gave it a try. The rest of the eye is done in pearl and blue along the lid. I think it gives a pretty bright eyed look:
Some favorite new lip-glosses of mine are Rimmel Shock Gloss in Amp’ed in for a slithly pinkish tint:
And Stila Lip-Glaze in Brown Sugar for a super shiny neutral:
