We’re always on the lookout for travel-size products that make packing as simple as applying lip gloss without a mirror.

We have yet to join the three-day-trip-with-no-checked-luggage club, but we’re working on it.

Cute little minis like these Urban Decay 24/7 Eye Pencils get us that much closer to passing initiation. With five little versatile pencils in uber-bright colors, our travel Makeup Bag will never be less than exciting.

Now, if only the rest of our bathroom counter would fit into a ziplock bag…

This month, CHANEL is introducing a multi-use makeup palette available in two different color harmonies. Each luxurious palette contains 4 eye shadows, 2 lipsticks, 2 lip glosses, and one blush.

Collection Essentielle de CHANEL Soleil Naturel contains soft pink and neutral tones while Collection Essentielle de CHANEL Soleil Lumière contains warm, shimmering bronze tones.

This is perfect for travel—but even more perfect for everyday.  CAN. NOT. WAIT.

A trip to our local MAC store this weekend brought us face to face with the new lash collection, created by celebrity lash designer Christina Smith. (Seriously, she designs custom lashes for Hollywood’s leading ladies. If they trust her with their lashes, so should we.)

Some great features of the new lashes are:

• Color—a unique blend of black and brown natural hairs to blend more naturally with your own lashes
• Clear Band—a ground-breaking thin, clear band for easy application and flexibility
• Shorter Width—a shorter width so they fit comfortably to the length of your natural lash line
• Intentional Imperfection—no two lashes are the same or perfectly symmetrical for a more natural effect

We purchased #31, #32 & #36 but you can see the entire collection here.

And don’t forget the lash case can be saved and used for the Back 2 MAC program!

After seeing the ads for Zero Gravity Repairwear Lift Firming Cream from CLINIQUE in all the September magazines we had to try it.

This new firming cream contains retinol, whey protein, and vitamins C and E to help skin maintain existing collagen levels, enhance collagen production and lift and tighten the look of skin.

We’re not dealing with sagging skin (yet!) but we love that this wonder cream from CLINIQUE is helping to fight it. The texture of the cream is super moist and creamy—perfect for our skin to drink up at night—and reminds us of Hydra Pure Firming Body Cream by MD Skincare, an incredible body cream that we would bathe ourself in every day if it wasn’t $120 for 6.7 ounces.

Zero Gravity Repairwear Lift Firming Cream from CLINIQUE is only $52, and because it’s for the face, it should last us ten times longer than said body cream: BARGAIN!
