Laura Geller has a Color Optics Color Correcting Finishing Powder that I really like:

 I tend to have redness on my face and this tones it down without looking chalky.

 I also bought her eye shadow in Forest Mist:

I don't use a lot of green but this has a great variety of colors for the entire eye.

I am glad I ordered Sephora's Lash Stash before it sold out.  It is always a good value and this year it included 3 full size products:

– 0.3 oz/ 8.5 g Benefit Cosmetics Rollerlash in Black FULL SIZE
– 0.25 oz/7.3 g Urban Decay Troublemaker Mascara in Black  FULL SIZE
– 0.16 oz/ 4.85 mL Kevyn Aucoin Beauty The Expert Mascara in Black
– 0.13 oz/ 4 mL Dior Diorshow Mascara in Black
– 0.06 oz/ 2 mL Yves Saint Laurent The Shock Mascara in Asphalt Black
– 0.06 oz/ 2 mL Lancome Monsieur Big Mascara in Black
– 0.14 oz/ 3.9 g Clinique High Impact Mascara in Black
– 0.08 oz/ 2.5 mL MAKE UP FOR EVER Excessive Lash in Black
– 0.85 oz/ 24 g Huda Beauty Classic Collection Lashes in Samantha #7 FULL SIZE
 – 0.094 oz/ 2.8 mL SEPHORA COLLECTION Lashcraft Mascara in Black

Of course, this will not stop me from buying more mascara!!!

A winter sangria is a lovely wine to serve during the holidays and very simple to make.  I use a red wine and add sliced lemons, grapes, apples/pears, touch of cinnamon, TBS brown sugar, couple ounces of orange liqueur and spiced rum.  I chill the pitcher in the refrig for several hours and serve over ice.

An excellent way to clean things - a paint bush!  It is great for tufted furniture and lamp shades.

My beloved grands were here for the weekend so I think 'Santa' has everything he needs for Christmas!  Now to get it all wrapped - only 27 days until the big day!

I am enjoying hair products from Frederic Fekkai:

The Shear Shape styling mousse has a lovely scent and does not cause stiffness or stickiness.  The Glossing spray is new to me and adds a nice sheen without being sparkly but I still need hair spray to maintain the shape.
And while I was loading up I also bought the hair mist:

 This is a very light floral scent that even a migraineur can tolerate.  I just don't feel dressed until I have added perfume.

I am so glad I tried Algenist Sublime Defense Anti-Aging Blurring Moisturizer

It is an excellent moisturizer with SPF30 - not sticky or heavy.  I tend not to use SPF in the winter and I definitely should so this helps me save a step.

Finally all the silver is polished and looking respectful!  I normally use this tray for hors d'oeuvres - but line the bottom with lettuce leaves ~ it looks nice and protects the silver and the food from each other.

Have you started the holiday decorating?  The tree is up but not nearly finished.  I wanted to double the amount of lights so that is a work in progress.  The grand children will be here this weekend and they love to help decorate so I am ready for them.

More lights & ornaments!! (The tree is not leaning - it is my wobbly hand on the camera!)

I am still loving MAC cosmetics and do love these shades of purple.
They can easily do a day or night time look:

                                      I have always been fond of these colors for green eyes.

I am also using MAC Zoom Mascara ~ this gives nice definition and full coverage.

I have added a new-to-me lip balm that is very nice. FOUND Lip Hydrating Tinted Lip Balm - Poppy Kiss

The color does look dark but it is not - very sheer color and moisturizing ( 98% Natural Murumuru Butter) - which makes it perfect for around the house or keep in a pocket.  There is no taste or fragrance, which I prefer.

These are in my current rotation of hair products:

 I like Bed Head hair spray and the Fiber Fill mousse & tousle spray are great before blow drying - no stiffness.

Lovelies it is time to get the jewelry clean for the holidays - esp pieces that you do not wear every day.  Please don't use anything too caustic - it will eat the metal off.
I have been happy with with a coconut cleaner - no strong smell and not harsh to the skin (though I do wear rubber gloves to protect my manicure).

When holiday candy is on sale I buy what I like !!!!

Peanut M&M's are the way to my heart!
