Magic Potions

What should I say? I have no idea. It's like I've lost all creativity for a brief period of time. Nothing wrong with that, I suppose, so long as it comes back at some point, right? Perhaps a magic potion of some sort to make the writing juices flow again is in order.

Speaking of magic potions, on Saturday, while having my makeup applied, the aesthetician applied this potion, made by Urban Decay, to my eyelids and said it's the best stuff for keeping your eye makeup in place ALL day. She was a theater major in college and said they used to use it for performances. I bought a tube of it yesterday at Sephora while doing errands. I'm wearing it today and it is now 8:45 p.m., some 12 hours after applying my makeup. My eyeshadow and eyeliner look as if I just applied them, still fresh and vibrant. It is wonderful stuff! It is called Eyeshadow Primer Potion. It comes in a mascara-like tube that costs $16. Now before you gasp at the expense, keep in mind I only need to use one or two dots of this stuff, and so I know it will last a very long time. I am typically fairly cheap when it comes to skincare and makeup, but this stuff is worth every penny I paid.

Oh, before I forget, I should have haircut photos posted for you all to see tomorrow (Wednesday). Brad has been working on editing them and PhotoShopping them to make me look my most stunning.

Oh I discovered this about 6 weeks ago and am also addicted totally. It makes even the cheapest eye shadows last all day! You can buy it at Sephora, as I ordered mine online but will be visiting Penn Sq Mall to stock up on April 12th!

Thanks for the tip! I'm off to the US next week and always make a bee line for Sephora as a lot of make up brands like Urban Decay are cheaper than in the UK!

This just might be on my shopping list!

Sarah - yep, I bought mine at Sephora in Penn Square Mall! Perhaps we could meet for a Coke or something in the food court on the 12th? Email me if you're interested.

Victoria - I hope you find lots of treasures! Enjoy your visit to the US.
