Wave Hello

Ever since The Great Layoff of 2009, I've had to watch the old beauty budget pretty closely.  Meaning no facials or fancy Clarisonic for me any time soon.  But I did spend a little extra at Target one day and went home with The Wave.  I have to say, it's pretty awesome.  Gets that dead, poor-clogging layer of skin off and reveals the fresher, newer, smoother layer right away.  Ahh, I knew it was under there somewhere.  So I feel no need to upgrade to anything more expensive than the Wave any time soon.  Well, except maybe for the new Sonic version.

Skin-tillating

A little while back, I ran out of my go-to tinted moisturizer. So armed with a gift certificate, I ran off to the Sephora in JCPenney for a new one only to find out they don't carry it. The horror! I never thought I'd stray, but the nice ladies there talked me into one from Tarte as a suitable alternative, and luckily they were right. For about ten dollars less and a lot more dewiness, I might be switching my allegiance permanently. While there, I also found this great concealer and highlighter from Lorac,and this supposedly miraculous primer from Korres to get everything started off right. Don't new products just make your day!

I Have Sinned

Confession time: I fell off the Bullseye wagon, and sprang for a semi-pricey, 4-step skincare regimen. Again. My favorite step? This serum. Oh my gosh. This serum. I already love it, and it's not supposed to really kick in for two more months. Feels good to feel zero remorse. Finally.
