a few of my favorite things.

.Stila Illuminating Foundation.

I'm not the biggest fan of foundation, but when I do wear it, I love this brand. It really does help to brighten up your lovely face. It's a little on the expensive side, but if you only use it for date nights, weddings, whatever, it'll last a really long time.

.Pureology Conditioner.

I was recommended this conditioner back in my days of trying to go more blonde. My hair felt like straw. I used this for a little while, but never finished the whole bottle, because I'll be honest, I buy most shampoos and conditioners because I love the smell and Pureology products are more plant based and organic so it doesn't have the most amazing smell, but it is very mild and green. Anyway, I found this bottle a couple of weeks ago and started using it again, I could tell an immediate improvement in my hair after I dried it. A couple of days later,  my supervisor at work asked me if I got a haircut because my hair looked really good. I'm hooked again and highly recommend it. My hair doesn't have much color on it these days, but they have several other types. Check it out ladies, and gents too.

.my new leopard gauges. (ha)

I got these and I love them. I've had some not so cute ones while I've waited through the stretching process, but I love these. I like them because they match black and brown and I don't change mine very often, like ever until I'm going up in size.

.Toms.   

I love the pair I have and these are in route to my house. The only thing I'm not so crazy about is it seems like everyone is wearing them these days, but they are the best when you're on your feet all day but still want to look cute and casual for work. I went with some neutral ones this time so I can wear with pretty much any colors. My other ones are black and white and highly graphic.

.Just Bitten Lip Stain.

I did not pick the name for this lip stain, and no, I did not buy it because of the whole Twilight/Vampire craziness out there. With that said, it's one of the better lipstains I've tried. It stays on a really long time, and it doesn't have that gross sticky feeling after you put it on. I bought it in "Gothic" (again, with the name, ugh...) and it's a really pretty brighter red color.
