Always on the lookout for the lastest and greatest in making ourselves look amazing, I guess. We have been anticipating the launch of the new bareMinerals eyeliners for some time. Now I, for one, actually really liked the old liners. The twist-up function was really handy. The liner, however, seemed a bit hard and brittle to pull across those tender lids.<br />
<br />
This new liner, however, glides on like a little dreamboat! It's very similar to the Smashbox liners, almost a gel consistency. If you are used to old-fashioned eyeliner pencils, the smooth, rich texture of this liner may be a bit hard to control at first. It finishes almost exactly like a cream liner, so it is definitely a more dramatic effect. (I have yet to attempt the of-the-moment cat eye with this pencil, so I will keep you posted on that.) <br />
<br /><a href="http://www.bareescentuals.com/Round-the-Clock-Waterproof-Eyeliner/US58901,default,pd.html?start=3&cgid=BM_SUB_EYELINER" target="_blank"></a><br />
The big test for a liner, for me, is does it stay put when I'm sweating my pants off during my crazy workouts?? The short answer is YES. After an hour of grunting and sweating, the only part of my appearance that did not resemble a wild banshee was my bareMinerals perfectly lined eyes. <br />
<br />
MUST-HAVE!!!<br />

The genius behind this quirky line, Amanda Dimova, incorporates laser cut wood and acrylic creating a whimsical, yet totally spot-on fashion jewelry line. She also carries the real thing (gold and silver) on her website. Here is a taste of what is on the floor right now. Irresistible! I picked up this adorable "love" ring today!!<br />

Time to pack away those flip flops and bundle those little piggies up for the winter! What better way to treat your feet than in a pair of cold-weather-classic Uggs??? We know, we know, they aren't the most aesthetically pleasing shape in the world, but they are the cosiest, the softest, the most comfortable winter shoe in the universe!! If you aren't a believer, you clearly have not walked up and down the aisles of the Armadillo Christmas Bizarre for hours on end only to realize that your feet were completely happy and content to keep on trucking through your Christmas list! Once you go Ugg, you won't go back. <br />

Give me these pants!!!<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
So...</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
I know we JUST posted yesterday about the fabulous textured skinnies and leggings that are on sale right now, not to mention right on trend, but everyone on staff is FREAKING out over two new denim styles that arrived today. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
First, let's talk about leather trim as a hot new trend. No, we can't all throw down $1000 on a deliciously luxurious pair of sleek leather leggings. We work hard for the money, know what I mean??? What we all <i>can</i> get down with is leather trim updates on tried and true styles. </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
Check out this Joe's Collection sweatshirt with the perfect little leather triangle trim dressin' it up fancy-like.</div>

And....drum roll please...these SICK Joe's petite fit skinnies with leather trim. Yes, leather. Trim. Leather up the side seams, leather belt loops, and a delicate little leather pocket in front. </div>

<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
And last, but obviously not least, this adorably quirky pair of Current/Elliott plaid stiletto skinnies also arrived today. I think we all know that patterned pants and jeans are a major trend right now, but doing it right is sooo important. Throw these on with a comfy Joe's sweater or Splendid cowl neck slouchy top and a Marc bag. Hip nerdy!</div>

The weather is getting crisp and we are breaking out the layers. Update your winter wardrobe with some velvet jeggings or corduroy flares, layer last year's tops and sweaters, and you will look just as dashing as Kim K. and, er, that chick from the Disney Channel who is wearing my FAVORITE J Brands for this season (below).<br />

-<a href="http://www.bumbleandbumble.com/product/mpp.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT5861" target="_blank">Straight line by Bumble and bumble</a>: Shampoo your hair with this lovely sulfate-free cleanser to reduce frizz before it begins. Use the coordinating conditioner to further tame those tresses. Here's the secret. Next, combine Thickening Hairspray with Straight Blow Dry for lasting hold and volume. Spray the hairspray all over first, especially at the roots. Follow with the blow dry cream, then blow hair dry section by section with a flat brush. Finish with a flat iron.<br />

As for your pretty little faces, it's all in the primer. Yes, even the most minimalist of makeup users must, must, must apply primer before their makeup!! This is what separates the femme fatales from the fatally oily. Here are some of the hardest working, most amazing primers we have tried:<br />
<br />
-<a href="http://www.smashbox.com/products/spp/index.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT6038&PRODUCT_ID=PROD18506&cm_mmc=Google-_-ENG_ENG%7cFace%7cBrand%20Product%7cBroad%7cPC-_-Face%7cPhoto%20Finish%20Foundation%20Light%7cPrimers%7cX%7cSPP%7cOK-_-smashbox%20photo%20finish%20light&gclid=CMrlkcKRuawCFQFX7Aodsl794g" target="_blank">Smashbox Photo Finish Light</a>: It's award-winning for a reason, people. This primer is water-based and contains oil-absorbing technology to keep you looking matte all day long. MUST HAVE!!<br />

-<a href="http://www.caudalie-usa.com/face/purifing-matifing-vinopure/vinopure-matte-finishing-fluid.html" target="_blank">Caudalie Vinopure Matte Finishing Fluid</a>: While not technically a makeup primer, this wonderboy oil absorber goes right to the source of shine-- imbalanced skin. Think of this as combating that nasty oil before it even has a chance. Apply to clean skin all over, or just the T-zone. Apply makeup. Know what it feels like to go all day without running to the ladies to powder your shiny, shiny nose.<br />
