Dr. Bronner's Tea Tree Pure-Castile Liquid Soap

I only use this!

I have recently developed very sensitive skin and most commercial soaps and body washes irritate my skin. This is the only thing I use because I feel clean and refreshed, but without a yucky film and without my skin reacting badly. I love that it is organic, fair trade, not animal tested, and a little goes a LONG way (be careful - consistency is almost like water, but still effective, don't worry)! Great value! This is a great universal soap/body wash/shampoo/household cleanser, etc. I have several different varieties and recommend it to anyone wanting a mild, yet effective and non-irritating cleanser.

M.A.C. Eye Shadow

Love MAC Eyeshadow!

I always assumed eyeshadow was the same across the board until a friend turned me on to MAC. They are definitely worth the extra cost. They are so much more highly pigmented that you don't need as much of MAC as you do of the cheaper stuff. I use ERA and ESPRESSO almost daily and have only had to replace my ERA once in the last year. Since the ESPRESSO is so pigmented and a little goes a long way, I've had the same one for a year and it's not even worn through to the bottom yet! Some of the more unusual colours are fantastic for stage makeup. (I'm a semi-professional belly dancer and we love bright makeup to go with our bright costumes!) If you have never tried MAC products, start with their eyeshadow and you'll see a difference immediately.
