Pass the Puffs!

I always have a little pack of tissues in my purse - you never know when allergies will strike! I used to get the cheapest generic tissues i could find - but NOT ANYMORE!

I LOVE Puffs To-Go!

I've avoided tissues with lotion in the past, because they made my nose feel... slimy. There was something about that that made my prefer the whole red-nose look when i had a cold. I don't know if Puffs changed their formula or what, but these tissues DO NOT have the slime factor at all.

And the packaging is so cute! The bright colors make the pack easy to find in my purse. Another bonus is that the plastic wrapping and the sticker to re-seal the pack are strong - which keeps the unused tissues from getting soiled.

The best part - the price! To me it's worth 50 cents to know I'll never be caught with the sniffles!

HD Color Trio

OK, I must admit - I LOVE eyeshadow. I have about 25 different colors... but I tend to be a "one-color-on-my-eyelid-and-that's-it" kinda girl. What can I say - I don't have much time to fuss with makeup in the morning - i like sleeping!!

I was really excited to get the Long Beach Sands HD Color Trio palette from NYC in my Jolly Vox Box. Most of my shadows are bold and bright, and certainly not mixable, so having three neutral colors in the same box that already go together was exciting.

I loved how easy they shadow went on... but that tiny brush was worthless. I guess it would be great for a touch-up on the go, but I immediately switched to a larger brush. The shadow was almost creamy, and blended really well. It lasted a long time, too, even without eye shadow primer.

The neutral color combo was great - perfect for work, and the diagram of how to apply the three colors was a great reference for make-up simpletons (like me). Overall, I'd say these eye shadows are fantastic, and definitely a great value!

I'm looking forward to trying out other color combinations - maybe The Liberty Lilacs or Concrete Jungle!
