The Scent of a Man

October 30th, 2010

Do you have a hard time buying presents for your mans?  I do.  Most presents for Jason require a major outlay and knowledge of a subject matter that is far beyond me (bikes and cameras – I mean how hard is that!).  I buy him clothes all the time (mainly because he trashes everything and wears his good clothes to fix his bike and work on the house) and, in his eyes, they don’t really count as a real present.  One of the things that is always a great standby is aftershave.  Problem is Jason doesn’t wear any.  Mind you now that I have found this great cool brand maybe he will give it a go.  The Portland General Store (another great Etsy find) makes this wicked masculine cologne that looks amazing.   The packaging is very old school and I love the names – tobacco, whiskey no. 006 and professor no. 009 – very Grizzly Adams.  I haven’t smelt any of them yet but am seriously contemplating it as a Christmas present – way more affordable than a Tokyo Bike don’t you think?  But then again what will make me more popular?? (We know what you boys will say.)

The Right Foundation

October 27th, 2010

They recently stopped making my foundation.  I have used this foundation for 10 years so you can imagine how hard it has been to find another one.  I tried Bobbi Brown, Clinique (twice), Laura Mercier and Stila with no joy.  They were all either the wrong shade or too much coverage or too greasy.  It has been an upsetting not to mention expensive exercise mainly because you really need to try the foundation on and use it for a while before you can really decide if it is right for you.  The search has been a long hard slog but I do believe I have FINALLY found my match.  (What is that saying – before you meet the handsome prince you have to kiss a lot of toads!)  The winning foundation is Korres Ginger and Vitamins Foundation.  Why didn’t you guys tell me about Korres????  This stuff ROCKS – I am thinking about buying shares in the company it is that good.  The colour is perfect and the coverage light but not pathetic and it is half the price of my other foundation.  I also bought their Lip Butter in Plum and it is gorgeous – enough colour and moist without being sticky.  (Would actually make a great Christmas present for your girlfriends/sisters/sisters-in-law). I also love the packaging (and you know how important that is to me) and it comes in a tube which makes it super easy to fit into my makeup bag.  Has anyone else used Korres before?  Are there any other products I should try?

PS. After two days of use and it is still rocking my world – I actually look good even – dare I say it – luminous today!  Dang – I am so happy I could cry!!!!
