SPECIAL HOLIDAY EDITION OF SATURDAYS AT SEPHORA!

Mon, 12/22/2008 - 4:22pm

Katie here, I am so mad at myself for promising you all renewed accountability at the beginning of the month and then just falling RIGHT off the bandwagon again the next week! But seriously, after weddings and holiday activities it's pretty much settled down now. At least Christmas doesn't fall on a Saturday this year or I would seriously need some help! But mostly, I just want to recap my favorite discoveries of the year - to remind you all to get to trying!

Back in July, I reviewed the Dior Hydraction Eye Cream - and it is still going strong as a daily staple in my makeup wardrobe! SPF 20! Powerful hydrators! And I love the Hyrdraction Tinted Moisturizers too! Check them out ASAP!

July really was a good month for me: thanks to the lovely Jennifer at Clinique - I discovered the wonder of, Clinique All-About-Eyes concealer. I think it probably could cover tattoos if you wanted it too. It's that powerful.

I get a little sad re-reading my Au Revoir Bourjois post. Mostly because I just felt so helpless as my college days had really disappeared out of my rearview. And I still really miss my beloved Bourjois - a tried-and-true makeup line with some great products. Go re-read from August 2 and if you feel so inclined you can pick up the products at that other mass market cosmetic retailer...

Korres Color - since I first reported to you abou the introduction of Korres color I have become even more deeply enraptured. Natural products. Great Quality. Pretty and Functional Packaging. What more could you ask for?

And finally Tarte EmpasEYES eyeliner pencils. Tightlines for dummies - I think they're amazing!! It makes sleek black eye-liner easy for anyone. No raccoon tails necessary.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all the fabulous MegsMakeup (dysfunctional) family members.

Katie, I agree with Ruthann. We love you but understand. What else do I love? Clinique's concealer. I've wanted to purchase a liner pencil as I use a liquid one or outline my eyes with shadow, but I'll have to purchase this. Thanks!

I am really mad at myself though. I have developed some serious apathy in 2008 (about several things) and I need to do better!

Don't beat youself up Babe! Love that you're back and doing what you can,when you can,it's been a freakshow in terms of time-management for all of us lately I am sure!These were all such wonderful reviews! I can still get Bourjois at "Ulta" and their "clubbing" eye pencil and mascara and fabulous! Tarte is a long-time staple and Clinique continues to set the bar for some products...Wishing you and all of us "dysfunctional but damn HOT and GORGEOUS" members of Meg's glowing Holidays and a glossy and sparkling New Year! Hugs to all!!!

So miss you Kate, and extremely glad to read your list of faves from 2008. Clinique's All About Eyes Concealer is serious stuff; it does cover up anything, and deserves a super-elite mention and thank you for making this discovery. Now I am going to have to check out Dior's Hydraction Eye Cream, sounds dreamy. I didn't realize that Bourjois had bid adieu to Sephora, tragic news! Tarte is so nice, and you know what? I love wearing products from a company that is eco-responsible and savvy. Smart women over there at tarte that's for dang sure. Happy Holidays sweet women from Megs! Dysfunctional perhaps, but at least we know what we love and support each other (and the best of the best beauty stuff).
