Eyes

Goddess Granny just back from Las Vegas and boy oh boy,have things changed there! You really have to look HARD to find some of the old glam and glitz and although the shopping and the shows are world-class, the service and presentations have become sort of average...I have always enjoyed the simple fact that most of what you see and feel while visiting Sin City is an illusion and it used to be that you were made to feel you were part of something "special" there. It has changed and I hope those decadent days of glitter will someday be obvious again!

I for one love change...I know it's hard for many to embrace but I will add that when you somewhat rely on something to give you that thrill you crave it's never good to be let down. I still love Las Vegas and even more important,I LOVE when a company that's been around since 1994 is able to make those changes and continue to create cutting edge and fabulous products that ALWAYS deliver in style!

"Modern...versatile...easy to use" Words such as these are almost a constant when you read about the latest products from "Stila" The company was conceived by one of THE best makeup artists ever IMO, the gorgeous and ever so humble Jeanine Lobell in yes, 1994. It's gone through some changes for sure but has been a constant and consistently praised and coveted line of cosmetics since the beginning. I remember reading that back in the day Jeanine refused to use a supermodel or "face" to represent her line: she didn't want ANY woman to feel intimidated by an impossible beauty so the absolutely delightful and oh so pretty hand- drawn characters representing girls of all colors and styles decorate her signature packaging instead! I have a Stila dusting powder on my vanity that HAS to be about 10 years old: it's a chic redhead on a darling tube of "Flaunt" in the scent of "Violet" sparkling body powder and although I think the powder itself is long-gone, I just LOVE the cool color of the packaging and that sassy girl, so I keep it around.

Don't mess with this Drugstore Deals Reviewer!  I will climb Mt. Everest or swim the English Channel to find cutting-edge deals to keep you lovely. Though generally non-combative, I have been known to wrestle another shopper to the floor to obtain the last remaining item in a display if I plan to review it.  My mind is a living Rolodex for the latest and best in beauty I've seen in countless magazines and in other media.  For what?  For the elite, the proud, the stunning readers who were wise enough to join this utopian site. "Magnificent Meg Heads" rule here!  They rule everywhere!

 But I didn't need to scour the planet or my barren building pretending to function as a drugstore this time. I had a serendipitous moment in the The Medicine Shoppe (yes, we do have one other drugstore but the concentration here is on pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter medications). I had a sore throat and needed antibiotics and picked them up here.  This entire staff works hard, very hard to fill prescriptions so quickly that I swear they're clairvoyant.  They seem to know what you need before you tell them!  Scary.

MissRo here! If there is one product I cannot have enough of, it's eye shadow. I wear a different eye shadow color everyday. Sometimes it's something very muted and natural, sometimes it's very colorful if I'm wearing all black, or sometimes it's a very dark, smoldering eye if I'm going out to an event.

My hubby always says to me "I like you with little or no makeup". However, how can a woman go with little, to no makeup when we have all of these amazing brands with amazing products out there!

I remember when I bought the first Sephora Blockbuster palette. It had something like 64 eye shadows, 20 lip glosses, 6 blushes, and the list went on. When that package arrived at my place and I opened it, my husband took one look at it, then looked at me, and shook his head.

Tantejoan here and I Love a Mystery! Ever since I had that color makeover by Maybelline’s color consultant Chuck Hezekiah I have been keeping in mind his comment about the changeable nature of my eye color lending itself to a very broad spectrum of colors.  Now, when I go to the drugstore or department store counter, I admit I am a bit bolder in my choice of colors, and it is quite exhilarating, especially since the previews of fall fashions all show that jewel tones are back, in clothing and in makeup.

But my favorite colors for the eye are actually a form of no-color, the greiges and blue-greys and greenish-taupes that look especially good in these early, pre-Fall days.  Their indeterminate hues make my blue eyes come to the fore, but veiled in a kind of mystery.  That’s why, when Meg sent me an eye shadow from Julie Hewett called “Mystere” I leaped to be first in line to review it.
