Un Jardin Sur Le Nil Cologne by Hermes Eau De Toilettes

I not the girl who loves the flowery scents. My friends from high school would tell you I was always with DK Cashmere Mist (still a favorite to this day). Given that I come from a Grandmother who loved Opium, I might be overcompensating by seeking out light and refreshing perfume. But on that note, I happened across a perfect summer scent yesterday. It has all the organic and herbal notes to make you feel clean and not weighed down. But still comes across as fresh and young. I was left sniffing my wrist the rest of the day - probably generating much confusion at Starbucks and the Apple Store.

Drugstore Dry Shampoo

I am terrible at giving myself a blow out. It never comes even close to what a professional can do. So I would do everything in my power to make that professional blow out stretch a couple of days. My search for the best dry shampoo has covered the globe and price ranges. So, I was thrilled to see the positive reviews and Tresemme Fresh Start Dry Shampoo and Waterless Foam. Don't bother running out to the drugstore though. The dry shampoo left my hair feeling some version of brittle. I still had hope for the waterless foam which I tried a couple weeks later. It made my hair sticky. So, save your money and buy some baby powder... still what I find to work the best.

L'Oreal Studio Secrets Magic Perfecting Base

I am not usually one for primers and other peripheral steps in the makeup process. But a recent reading of a review for Studio Secrets Base made me want to run out and buy it right away. I am always plagued by the dark under eye circles. I have loved both La Mer and Chantecaille concealers. By adding the base under by eyes first, my skin was smoother. Concealer stayed on longer and looked more natural. For a drugstore product, Studio Secrets Base really performs. I am making room on my upcoming trip in my paired down makeup bag for it as my new "must have". http://www.drugstore.com:80/products/prod.asp?pid=270550&catid=10538&cmbProdBrandFilter=64390
