Urban Decay Eyeshadow

Amazing color selection, highly pigmented, and affordable!

I adore Urban Decay Eyeshadow. They have so many colors to choose from, whether you want subtle or dramatic. These shadows are very highly pigmented, so the color is always intense, and lasts all day. As with any shadow, I reccomend a shadow primer, to prevent shifting and creasing, especially if you have oily eyelids, or use a heavy eye cream. One container or shadow will last a very long time, as a little goes a long way. The packaging is sturdym but cute. It resembles a manhole cover! The price point is more than reasonable for any eyeshadow, but for the quality you get here, its an absolute steal! On a personal note, my favorite shade, a great neutral every day color for fair to medium skin tones is Sin. Check it out. You won't be disappointed.

Tweezerman Petite Tweeze Set

Could Not Live Without Them!

I love this set! Having both the slant and point tipped tweezers, in a smaller size, and their own leather case is just perfect! Just because this set is "Petite" doesn't mean that it lacks any of the superb quality of the reagular-sized tweezerman tweezers. Personally, I prefer the smaller size. They seem to be easier to use in my smaller hands! I also love having the two different tips so readily available right there in their case! I've had this set since 2000, and I consider it indispensable. They keep my brows looking perfect, and the point tips are great for that occasional splinter. My husband loves them too. He uses them for the occasional errant hair, and other manly grooming stuff. I think everyone should own this set. For me, its the swiss army knife of tweezers. (smile) Plus, Tweezerman offers lifetime sharpening, although I've not had to do that yet. I believe I spent $24 on this set when I bought it 8 years ago, and it had more than paid for itself. Fabulous item, superb quality and craftsmanship, in both the tweezers and their leather carrying case.
