Primer Perfection

When the Sephora salesgirl tried to pedal this potion, Urban Decay Primer Potion in 'Sin', I found myself resenting her. No doubt I was victim of an evil commission- earning-snake-oil-selling scheme... Oh how wrong I was!

Fortunately I found the path to righteousness with the help of the 'free' sample of this perfection-in-a bottle that came with my Urban Decay eye-shadow set.

In my pre-potion dark ages, I had to reapply eyeshadow several times a day. After a light coat on my lid before adding shadow, I am set for an evening in even the harshest conditions - hello hot sweaty clubs with really good dance music...

Now you know it is safe to invest in Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion (be sure you get 'Sin' I can't vouch for the colorless stuff.) Incredible staying power with a shimmering barely-there hue that bumps up the drama for most eyeshadow shades. And if you are into the natural look, it can be worn alone to add a lovely hint of sheen.

Pros:

  • Keeps your eye makeup going strong from morning 'till night
  • Makes your eye shadow last longer - so you get more bang for your buck
  • Shiny and lovely 'eye-lighter' all on it's own
  • Bumps up the drama on sparkly shadows
  • Online shopping available, you can buy it RIGHT NOW!
Cons:

  • A tad pricey, $17.00, but definitely worth it!

A place for everything and everything in it's place


I admit it, I am anti-thong. The concept is completely gross to me! I would even go as far to say that the comfort-claiming majority of thong wearers should be locked away from society...FOREVER. We all need to face it, the only woman who can get away with a thong is Heidi Klum. Thank God there is Hanes wedgie-free undies and no-slide-strap bras for the rest of us. Not only is the material super soft -n-stretchy, it is seamless AND tag-less...
The no-ride-up guarantee isn't just a marketing ploy... it is a beautiful reality.
The Hanes bra that I bought is even nicer than the slippy-strapped Calvin Klein I used to trust with my twins. At $10 a piece, you can buy 3 for the price of one krappy klein. The boyshort style underwear continues the anti-wedgie promise and also solves your average pantyline crisis. Hanes new comfort technology is sleek and simple. It may not have all the design bells and whistles of La Perla, but when it comes to housing my hump and lady lumps, I'm a minimalist.

Pros:

  • Soft, seamless & tag-less
  • No ride-up guarantee, no pantylines (with the boyshort style)
  • No slip strap guarantee on the bras
  • Economical price: $10 per bra, boyshorts pack of 2 for $9
  • Online shopping available, so you don't even have to leave your couch!
Cons:

  • The bra has an underwire, so if you're not into that, you won't be into this
  • The bra has pretty thick straps that can be annoying for certain necklines
  • No cons on the boyshorts - they are PERFECT
