A picture of some flowers (poppies?) in front of Castello di Amorosa Winery in Napa. The entire Napa Valley region has this magical natural light that makes everything look so vibrant and rich!

Benefit The Porefessional
Benefit just released a new product called The Porefessional ($28).
It’s a silky, lightweight, translucent balm designed to minimize the appearance of pores. Added plus: it’s oil free!
So far I’ve only seen it online at Ulta, but I’ll let you know if it’s available anywhere else when I get more deets.

Purple Orchids
I took this picture last December when El Hub and I were in Hawaii visiting family.
Ahh, what I’d give for some tropical weather and a few hours of some leisurely beach time…
MAC A Tartan Tale
MAC A Tartan Tale
There’s been chatter on Specktra about a fall/holiday MAC collection due out in October called MAC A Tartan Tale. From the looks of these possible promo pics it looks like it could be a mix of blues, reds and greens with an edgy Scottish feel — think kilts and tattoos!
Are you excited about this collection? I am a fiend for plaid, so I’m hoping there’s some sort of limited-edition plaid packaging.
Makeup Organization Ideas: MAC Paint Pots, Pigments or Fluidlines
Another makeup organizational treasure from the craft store, babes!
I found this clear ArtBin box with 18 compartments at Joanne for about $7. Each cubby is big enough to fit a MAC Paint Pot, Pigment or Fluidline (Benefit Creaseless Creams and Make Up For Ever Aqua Creams also fit nicely, too).
I used to keep ’em jumbled up in a single drawer, but it took forever to find the color I wanted, and whenever I’d move one pot, all the others would move too. With the pots separated like this, I can always find exactly what I need quickly.
Added bonus: the containers are see-through, stackable and portable, too.
I know there’s a lot of cream shadows in one space in these pics, and most women probably don’t hoard as much as I do, LOL! Things just start to add up after one avidly collects for a few years…
