I think last year I did one of those winter survival lists. I am
thinking about doing one this year, but all of the items would probably
be the same.


I feel like making a list of things I like right now. I have this weird urge to make lists all of a sudden.

So, without further ado, a list.


Things I Love Right Now



  1. Sephora Indulgences Purifying Hand Wash in Vanilla Frosting: I
    originally ordered this to put myself into free shipping, fully
    expecting a crappy, generic hand soap like the Method I've been
    buying. What I got actually shocked me. A very thick,
    creamy, highly scented, lightly-lathering hand soap that does not dry
    out my hands and leaves behind an amazing scent. The Vanilla
    Frosting scent is better than I expected. This is the best hand
    soap ever, and I'll probably pick it up in all the other scents.
    It's a shame they discontinued Banana Foster and Chocolate Raspberry,
    cause those would kick ass.

  2. Sephora Indulgences Whipped Body Delights: I
    have this in a bunch of scents. My favorite at the moment is
    Vanilla Frosting (which is shimmery!) closely followed by Marshmallow
    Fluff and Coconut Nectar. They're thick and creamy without being
    greasy, and they're excellent at locking in moisture. The scents
    are great. Again, would be awesome in Banana Foster and Chocolate
    Raspberry. Hear me, Sephora? Quit discontinuing the good
    stuff!!


  3. Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Extreme: Quite
    possibly my favorite fragrance of all time. It's the perfect
    lasting vanilla. It's not sticky, cloying, fake or
    overpowering. It's like vanilla beans and sugar, and it lasts all
    day. I could wear this every day. It layers well with
    pretty much everything. On initial application it smells a little
    weird, kind of like benzoin, but after about 15 minutes it settles
    quite nicely and remains the same for hours.

  4. Bath and Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar:
    Noticing a trend here? I'm a vanilla fiend. I just can't
    help myself. The thing I love about Bath and Body Works is that
    you can layer to your heart's content because they make every product
    you can think of in every scent. I have shampoo, conditioner,
    body wash, body butter, body cream, shimmer lotion, shimmer spray...
    You name it, I have it in this scent. It's not so strong that you
    overtake the room with your fragrance, and it layers well with other
    things. I used to hate it, but now I love it.


  5. L'Oreal Volume Shocking Mascara: Screw
    Diorshow, this stuff OWNS! It is by far the best mascara I have
    ever used. It has a bit of a learning curve, but the end result
    is so worth it. I like my lashes to stand out, and this gives the
    effect of false lashes. Length, volume, everything. I have
    been through 8 or more tubes of this stuff and I don't plan on buying
    any other mascara ever again. Only disclaimers: You need a good
    metal lash comb, and try not to get your lashes wet because this stuff
    runs.

  6. NARS Albatross: It's
    described as a "blush/highlighter." It's a subtle white-gold
    shimmer (more of a glow than a shimmer) and it's absolutely
    perfect. I can use it everywhere and it's the perfect amount of
    glow without being obvious, shimmery, glittery or shiny. I can
    put tons of it on and it still looks natural.


  7. MAC Bronzer in Refined Beyond Bronze and Golden: I
    am very pale, so Refined Beyond Bronze seems like a weird choice.
    I think being pale is actually what makes this shade so great. I
    contour or slightly bronze with Golden when I want an extremely subtle
    effect. Golden is the perfect shade. But when I want to add
    a little drama or more definition, Refined Beyond Bronze is
    perfect. I just very lightly tap my bronzer brush into it, and
    buff it onto my cheekbones. Just that tiny touch of bronzer makes
    my skin look amazing and it's seamless. You can't even tell it's
    on, but you can. Makes sense, right?

  8. Smashbox Cream Eyeliner in Caviar: I
    use an extremely short-bristled stiff angled brush to apply this, and
    it provides the most perfect, tightest line ever. It is only
    smudgeable (real word?) for about 15 seconds, and once it dries it's
    bulletproof. It's such a rich, dark black but it doesn't look
    hookerish.

  9. Isle of Eden Sugar Scrubs: Yes,
    they're great for the body, but I've been a bad girl, using them on my
    face. They're thick, not the least bit oily, and they're very
    rough. It's maybe a little too rough for the face, and the
    fragrance oil burns like hell, but they make my skin absolutely
    perfect. I use one every day, sometimes twice, and my skin is
    incredibly clear, smooth and perfect. They rinse completely clean
    and they smell amazing, too.


  10. Lip Fusion Lip Fusion XL: It's
    almost absurdly expensive, but it works. It plumps and smoothes
    and it DOESN'T BURN. Don't get me wrong, I love those burny ones
    (Lip Venom, Lip Injection...) but I hate having red lips. This is
    slightly glossy, plumps gently but effectively and keeps my lips a nice
    pale shade. Only downsides are the packaging which gets scratched
    easily, and the weird minty flavor. I don't want my lipgloss to
    taste like toothpaste.




Ten seems like a nice, even number. I think I can stop
there. I still feel like making lists. Maybe I'll make
another list... I feel like organizing things.



I've noticed that my blog is lacking in something very important.
Porn! Maybe I'll get out the camera and take some pictures (of
makeup, don't worry.) to go along with my babbling. Everyone
loves porn.
