We have a little thing for exfoliants.

Maybe its the instant gratification of feeling fresh-faced, buffed, smoothed, exfoliated.

And even though we have our favorites, there’s always room in our cabinets for more beauty products. (Well, maybe not our cabinets, but definitely our hearts. There’s always room in our hearts for more beauty products.)

We picked up this Biore Pore Minimizing Refining Exfoliator at the drugstore the other day, and while it’s definitely not gentle enough for everyday use, it has a delightful green apple scent and is non-comedogenic, hypo-allergenic and oil-free.

The tiny granules are LIGHTLY massaged into your face for 2 minutes (if you can stand it!) and you’re left with beautiful, polished, vibrant skin!

Twice a week will do you wonders.

A few weeks back, our friend sent us an email raving about Bobbi Brown’s Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner. She told us how smooth it goes on and that it stays on forever without smearing, smudging or fading and seriously, this product is the best and we had better write about it on our beauty website.

While researching this wonder-liner, we realized that we have this VERY product, in the VERY color that our friend raved about (Chocolate Shimmer Ink) in our VERY own Makeup Bag. (The perils of being a beauty product junkie include not remembering you have a particular product because, HOLY MAKEUP BAG BATMAN! there’s just so much to keep up with.)

Our favorite way to apply this gel liner is with a Laura Mercier flat eyeliner brush. We can sweep this liner on in 1.4 seconds flat, and look fabulous all day.

We originally bought this Urban Decay Skull Shadow Box fully intending to give it as a gift, but this palette of popular colors promising to bring “rock and roll edge to every day” had us caving in and using it for ourselves.

Aside from the hip packaging and non-threatening skull and crossbone (it’s LAVENDER! And adorable!), we really like how these colors offer a variety of neutrals and bright colors with the signature sparkle that we love about Urban Decay shadows.

Also, the rock and roll edge.

OH… To Be 25 Again! is a lustrous shade of dark chocolatey brown in the new OPI 25th Anniversary Collection.

As we placed this bottle next to our other dark, Vamp-ish shades, several friends commented that they couldn’t tell the difference between Estee Lauder’s Dark Chocolate, Essie’s Wicked, China Glaze’s Vintage, Chanel’s Rouge Noir and this here shade by OPI.

Our only response was, ARE YOU BLIND PEOPLE?

Here you can clearly see why each and every one of these delicious shades of brown are unique in their own ways, and why each shade is a Makeup Bag necessity.

You do see this, right?

Right?

(If you even think of telling us that these colors all look the same to you, we just might have to put polish remover on your paper cut.)
