I can’t believe that I haven’t blogged since before the holiday - that is totally unlike me, but in a feeble attempt of explaination, I’ve been dealing with lots of munchkins birthday parties, a cold, the flu, my kid being on holiday break and the ever infamous holiday shopping. All this while STILL being on Jenny Craig and dealing with the ever approaching 3 OMG 7 which is just around the corner.

For the new year, I’m going to be videoblogging my new transformation boot camp that I’ve done almost every year with a major lagging that almost always takes place by March, but we shall see if this year the addition of a video cam will sustain the quest a bit longer.

Anyway, more later, as always…LOL. Happy Holidays!!!

Oh Philosophy…you are going to make me eat my words, aren’t you? Blah. Ok so even though I totally hated the “Falling in Love’ line from Philosophy, I kind of am digging the skincare stuff. Thanks to some more fabulous swaps with the women at MakeUpAlley.com, I’ve managed to score some Hope in a Jar, which go figure, is probably my favorite face cream ever. It’s super light, but super moisturizing and has just the teeny-tiniest of sheen that makes your face appear as if it is dewey, even though you totally know it’s not. I just might have to actually dig in my pockets and buy a jar when this tester one runs out. Now you know it’s the bomb when you will actually bookmark the official site - which btw is offering free shipping on orders over $75 (doesn’t sephora offer free shipping over $50? Just asking…).

Anyway, for now, yes…there is hope in a jar in my powder room.

I am totally in love with the Smashbox Cosmetics primer - the stuff that goes on under your foundation. To be perfectly honest, I used to think all that was just hype and marketing ploys to get your extra $25 bucks, but as I get older…omg 37 in less than a month….I now realize that the primer is really the key to making your foundation look how it is supposed to look. Similar to a painting project - if you don’t do your ‘groundwork’ you will end up looking crazy with straight up foundation smeared all over your face and uneven.

Want an even more tasty tidbit? Smashbox Cosmetics is owned by Max Factor - so at least they know their stuff…even though I can’t say I am a fan of anything under the name Max Factor, until now I suppose.

Speaking of Smashbox, I also have a eyeshadow duo from Smashbox, but I don’t really see anything fabulous about it, I’m just going to stick with my MAC for now.
