I have used many of Sephora's makeup bags, but this is the one for the gal who carries more beauty products than she needes or uses...like me. I bought this in December and have toted it on four trips and love how it holds all of my makeup, shampoo and conditioner, but also keeps my brushes neatly tucked away. It is also very easy to clean. On my last four airplane trips, after opening my organizer, various products had been opened; thus, spilling out. I just emptied the contents of the bag, washed it out with a washcloth, and it looked as good as new.

I recently tossed out my well used Sephora Signature Bag and opted for another Sephora design. Although this is good for the gal that doesn't have many beauty products to tote on her trip, I needed something that had more pockets and would hold more products.

I loved my 3-pan palette, but I just learned from a Bobbi Brown salesperson that Bobbi is switching to smaller, square eye shadows and a palette to hold the squares. The price of the square eye shadows will be less than the bigger, round eye shadows. I always thought this round 3-pan palette was too big and cumbersome. I am looking forward to the new design.

For the last couple of years, this was my only moisturizer that I used at night. According to my derm, it was as good as the more expensive moisturizers. I would still be using this if I wasn't writing about other products.

Although I wear Amazing Grace eau de perfum almost every day, when I want a little more oomph in the winter time, I dab on the perfume oil. It has more staying power and stronger than the eau de perfum. Amazing Grace, with its flowery scent, is my signature go-to fragrance. It is only one of three perfumes that I own and have in my scent arsenal.

I love to layer Amazing Grace soap, cream, and perfume. It's the trifecta of scents in my opinion. Not only is this my signature scent, but many of my friends have adopted it for their signature scent, too. It is such a light floral fragrance, that only you and those coming in for a hug will notice it.

One of my three favorite fragrances, Amazing Grace Body Emulsion, with its delicate floral smell, is a cream and fragrance you can wear anywhere, anytime without offending anybody. As a matter of fact, I usually get compliments from men when I wear this -- not women. The cream is lightweight and not greasy. I love-love this! It is my signature scent.

As much as I love Mario Badescu's control cream for overindulgence of Retin-A, I love their cream soap more! This is so mild that it doesn't irritate my already angry skin. Although it is light, it still removes makeup without further aggravating my skin.

When I need to call 911 for overindulgence of Retin-A, I use Mario Badescu's Control Cream. The anti-redness cream works quickly on my red and irritated skin If I wake up after too much indulging of Retin-A, I soothe on this cream before anything else. It is great for Rosacea sufferers, too. Although it appears thicker than other moisturizers, it feels lightweight on my skin. Smells fresh, too.

For a non-prescription strength of retinol, Roc Retinol Correxion Hand Repair would be a good choice for a woman under 40 without age spots, but if you have age spots, it won't make those pesky devils disappear. From someone who has tried every "miracle" cream on the market and even tried to laser those darn age spots off, get a product that contains more retinol. The only thing that has worked for me is Retin-A. With a SPF of 15, retinol, and a drugstore price, I would highly recommend this for someone who wants to start early staving off sun damage. For the "damaged" women, get to your derm and have her prescribe Retina-A.
