New faves

Here are some new (to me) products that I am loving right now...

Mentha Lip Tint
Silky, shiny gloss with a hint of color and a double dose of peppermint flavor.

(I think they might also have wintergreen flavor - but whatever. That's for weirdos.)

I can't help but smile when I put it on - it's so tingly & refreshing. Plus, it also makes me feel fresh-breathy.

Skin Milk
Purchasing a lotion-type product is a challenge for me. A much bigger challenge than it should be, really.

Regular old lotion just doesn't cut it. After a couple of hours, my skin feels parched and like I'd never applied lotion at all. So I've discovered that using a body cream or butter is the way to go. It's heavier, it lasts longer, my skin feels softer and I just generally love it.

However, I'm a bit of a Scrooge McDuck and it was killing me (and my budget) to fork over serious $$$ for the good stuff. I stumbled upon my new fave while checking out my new fave place to shop.

At $5, it's a skin care bargain! Plus it has a yummy, yet totally mild scent - which is perfect. My hunky husband has a very sensitive sniffer and strong smelling lotions make him feel gaggy - which is not the desired response when snuggling up next to him on the sofa.

So, gentle reader, what about you? Have you discovered any can't-live-without-it products recently? I'd love to hear about them.

Especially if it gives me an excuse, I mean... a reason to head back here.

Which, not coincidentally, is right next door to here. Which is where I found the most adorable summer shoes. Which I would totally post a picture of, if only I could find a picture of them anywhere on the entire world wide web.

(I'm realizing now that I probably could have just taken a picture of the shoes myself rather than spending 30 minutes looking on a bazillion websites trying to find this elusive photo.)

Oh well. Imagine your favorite shoes here:
