Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion


If you are anything like me, you take your time applying fly and flawless eyeshadow to your lids before hitting the club. You dance and have a great time before taking a bathroom break to do a face check in the mirror. After an hour of dancing, you find that your so called flawless eyeshadow has a greasy crease in the middle of your lids.

Well get ready for that night out a new way. Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion is the magic answer to the maddening eye shadow crease. Packaged in an adorable genie bottle this potion is an anti-crease cream. Dip the wand in the potion and apply to lids a few minutes before you are ready to apply eye shadow. The silicon filled Primer Potion dries quickly to a smooth matte finish in nude or champagne shimmer. Just a thin layer of the Potion is all you need. Party all night and find the next morning that your eyes are as captivating as the moment that you finished your makeup. Have a great time and keep the Genie in a bottle close!

AHAVA Source Mineral Body Lotion


My aunt received this lotion as a Christmas gift one year and sent me scouring mom and pop drug stores in Mediterranean communities to find the refills. Shocked to see the anti-cosmetic distinguished lady swoon over a body product I had to find out the appeal. This body lotion is a Dead Sea mineral based product with AHAVA’s own Osmoter compound. The AHAVA Source Mineral Body Lotion provides a light moisturizer for those who are not concerned with dry skin. The fragrance leaves a lovely veil of a unique fresh floral scent on the skin. For the environmentally conscious, note that AHAVA uses recyclable packaging and does not test on animals. Now AHAVA has introduced its line of products in larger stores like, Nordstrom. Have fun discovering the therapeutic wonders.

Valentino Rock ‘n Rose Couture


I was instantly attracted to Valentino’s, Rock ‘n Rose Couture while browsing the fragrance section in the SoHo Bloomingdales. A beautiful round glass bottle with a pentagonal pyramid pointed top, veiled in black lace with an ebony rosette tilted to the side, complete with a label that read, "Rock ‘n Rose Couture," in platinum metallic script. I was captivated by the bottle which evoked images of sultry Flamenco dancers, with percussionistic castanets perched to the side. I had to have this Rock ‘n Rose Couture.

It was almost a year that this sexy bottle sat in my boudoir. At last, I decided to use the treasured elixir. I am not usually a rose aficionado, but my other fragrances were waning. I sprayed Rock ‘n Rose Couture, inhaling the soft feminine blend of black currant, rose, gardenia, vanilla and musk. I liked the fragrance, but I was not quite sure how I felt about it with my body chemistry.

I was off about my day, waiting at a crosswalk when a man next to me commented, “Wow, you smell really good.” I was charmed. By the end of the day I hadn’t thought much more of the fragrance choice until my husband returned home. He buried his head in my neck and inhaled and said, “You smell gorgeous.” I was sold! I wear perfume every day and even after showering at night and he rarely comments. Needless to say, Valentino Rock ‘n Rose Couture is a new favorite.
