Thursday’s Cosmetics
Just a casual day in the office…
Smashbox Halo – their version of mineral/powder foundation. I love the packaging which contains a sort of grater so powder doesn’t explode everywhere when you open it.
Estee Lauder Disappear Concealer for my dark circles… an absolute must as it gives great coverage. My husband actually introduced me to it and how to apply it – pat it on lightly with fingers for best results.
Smashbox Bronzer… the label has worn away and there’s not a lot left, but I think it’s Fusion in ‘Sunset’ which is really nice for bronzing pale skin.
Chanel Eyeshadow – the pink and the brown from the Quadra Eyeshadow ‘Influences’.
Avon’s SuperShock Mascara in Plum… I wouldn’t say it’s a shock, but it’s definitely super. It applies very nicely and doesn’t clog.
Nars Lipstick in ‘Damage’ – perfect everyday shade 
Avon Skin-So-Soft Gelled Body Oil
We were really impressed by this, so much so that some of us re-ordered before we finished the tube!
Light, cool and silky. It absorbs into the skin so well, it’s not sticky (though a little drying time is recommended – not long though) and skin is left so smooth and soft. Especially good on legs which stay smooth and silky-feeling all day.
The scent is ‘Soft & Sensual’ – a delicate feminine fragrance, great for layering with most floral perfumes. The scent isn’t strong, so don’t be put off if you don’t like floral fragrances. We are hoping they’ll do this in the ‘Soft & Fresh’ fragrance too!
