Product Junkie

I must confess...I am a sucker for makeup and hair care products. When I go into a department store or drug store, I'm drawn to the makeup like a bee to honey. I need to see all the beautiful colors and ponder their possibilites on my face. When I was little, all I ever asked for for Christmas was the Barbie that was head and shoulders only. No body, just a big head that you could do makeup on and fix the hair. I had to get a new one every year because eventually I would use a crayon or permanent marker to do the makeup and a pair of scissors to do her hair.

Well, now I'm all grown up, but I still LOVE beauty products. Most don't do what they claim to do, but the fun is in trying them out to see. Currently I'm in heaven over a NARS highlighting/bronzing duo. My girlfriend Chanel gave it to me for my birthday and I haven't left home without it! It goes on beautifully and gives a sun-kissed, summer shimmer that's not too much for daytime and perfect for night. This morning, I put the bronzer on my cheeks (color:Casino) and the blush (color:Sin) on my eyelids for a quick "professional, presentable but not overly made up" look...I call it Glam-on-the-Go!

Pick up the NARS product. You'll love it..it's pricey ($37), but it's worth it! Check out their site at NARSCosmetics.com. You can also find it at your local Sephora store or at Sephora.com.
