Tag: Signature Me.
I saw this tag list posted on Kim Vallee’s site this afternoon and couldn’t resist. I’ve been wanting to post about beauty products for awhile now and just haven’t gotten around to it. This seemed like the perfect segway!
My Foundation: Lancome Teint Idole Ultra.
I have to admit that I’ve only started wearing foundation a few years ago because up until that point my skin was really even toned. I love this foundation because it’s not heavy or cakey and spreads evenly over my skin every single time.
My Mascara: Lancome Definicils.
At the moment that is because I’m forever looking for the perfect mascara. My lashes are long, but not all that thick, so it’s a never-ending battle in my make-up world.
Day Cream: Lancome Aqua Fusion SPF 15.
This amazingly light and refreshing moisturizer instantly gets sucked up by my skin. It’s not at all greasy and I don’t have to wait around for it to absorb before putting my make-up on. At night I use Lancome’s Primordial night cream which makes my face feel like a baby’s behind as well as Clinique’s All About Eyes.
My Beauty Product Brand: Lancome.
Obviously. Followed up by Proactiv for their skin care line.
My Essential Beauty Product: Bourjois Baume de Nuit Night Lip Balm. Seriously the best balm ever, straight from this gloss-a-holic’s lips! i put it on every night and wake up with a fully moisturized pucker.
My Favorite Makeup Product: Stila Convertible Color in Fuschia.
Besides gloss and a powder compact I don’t carry any make-up in my luggage bag of a purse. Weird, I know. So this all in one is perfect for cheeks, lips and even eyes in a pinch.
My Perfume: Philosophy’s Falling in Love and The Body Shop’s white musk are a tie.
Although I have about ten bottles sitting on top of my jewelry box in all, those are the two I go back to time and time again. Falling in Love literally smells like cotton candy to me and the white musk just reminds me of the days when I was becoming Me.
Three Products (besides solar) to bring on a Deserted Island: Toothbrush, deodorant and sunscreen!
Woman I admire for her beauty: Right now Rachel Bilson.
I love her girl next door look and easy to pull off outfits. Not only that, but the girl taught me to wear navy blue eyeliner instead of black! It really makes your eyes pop.
Woman with the Best Sense of Style: Audrey Hepburn.
Every. Single. Time.
My Ultimate Dream: Running my own stationary company.
‘ve been toying with the notion since college and one day it just might happen. Stay tuned to find out!
How Do I Define Womanhood: Confidence. Dignity. Grace.
And one day I hope to embody them all.
My Favorite Fashion Publication: InStyle.
Although I probably see more pieces that catch my eye via all the lovely blogs I visit daily!
I’m tagging five more bloggers who I’d like to get in the make-up bagss of:
Creature Comforts
Design Smack

Knowing your great taste – all the fabulous and cheeky finds on your blog – I think you need to pursue your dream. I’ve never heard of the lip balm, but I’ve very curious! I think I’ll be a disappointing candidate for this one, but I’ll give it a go. Very fun read! I love Kim’s site, too.

April 22, 2008 at 2:44 pmA friend of mine started this tagging roll. She will be pleased that the ball is rolling.
Like Emily, I will try your Baume de Nuit Night Lip Balm. I usually applied a day balm but I forgot to put more on after a meal. A night balm seems more practical. My lips need it.

April 22, 2008 at 6:58 pmSince I’m not in the mood to work and I’m catching up on your blog, I saw this list and thought I’d give it a little guy spin to be a jackass and kill ten minutes. BTW, half are serious, half aren’t… though it’s blatantly apparent. Enjoy.
My Foundation: Beer. Nothing works better to relax my facial features than a nice cold tall glass of delicious hops.
My Mascara: When I’m the mood to go all Rocky Horror Frank-n-Furter I just need something slutty, glossy and dirty…. Like a licorice version of Carmen Electra.
Day Cream: Krispy Kreme… can also be used at night.
My Beauty Product Brand: KY.
My Essential Beauty Product: The Beach… I exfoliate every time I wipe out, receive the necessary dosage of Vitamin D and treat my skin to genuine sea salts.
My Favorite Makeup Product: Trojan’s… no better way to make up if you ask me.
My Perfume: honestly? Chrome by Azzaro.
Three Products (besides solar) to bring on a Deserted Island: surfboard, Don Q Rum, water purifier.
Woman I admire for her beauty: Christy Canyon. 😀
Woman with the Best Sense of Style: Madonna. I think she’s been at the forefront of most fashion trends doing whatever she’s wanted all along. AKA A real woman.
My Ultimate Dream: Writing instead of copywriting.
How Do I Define Womanhood: Self assured, strong, confident, graceful, sensual, free from chauvinistic oppression, intelligent better than a man could ever be.
My Favorite Fashion Publication: Hustler? Jk. No clue.

April 23, 2008 at 4:15 amI used to be religious about InStyle. I let my subscription lapse because every year the issues were the same and I haven’t missed it. I liked your list.
