Off Topic...

Taking a short break from my eco-themed posting to bring you this:

Yesterday I was tagged by Kelly (of the lovely Design Crush blog) to share a peak at what's inside my makeup bag.  If you'd like to play along... consider yourself tagged.

My Foundation:  I've really pared down my makeup usage in recent years, so I don't currently wear a foundation.  When I did it was Clinique Almost Makeup SPF 15.

My Mascara:  I can never make up my mind when it comes to mascara.  At the moment I'm using Loreal Double Extend Mascara.

Day Cream:  Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion (wish they made this with SPF).  I really need to be wearing a suncare lotion.

My Beauty Product Brand:  Clinique (most of the time).

My Essential Beauty Product:  Clinique Turnaround Concentrate Visible Skin Renewer - You have never felt soft skin until you try this magic serum!

My Favorite Makeup Product: Coconut Lip Gloss from a local store (I don't know who makes it, but it's the greatest).

My Perfume:  Coconut Lime Verbena body splash (sounds so 7th grade) from Bath & Body Works.

Three Products (besides solar) to bring on a Deserted Island: I'm copying Kelly and saying toothbrush, deodorant, and sunscreen!

Woman I admire for her beauty:  Cameron Diaz.  She has a sort of effortless beauty about her... and a personal style that I love.

Woman with the Best Sense of Style:  My grandmother.  She radiates beauty in a way that not many ever do.  She is always polished and put together without ever seeming to try.  I love her with all my heart and I hope to be like her one day.

My Ultimate Dream:  This pretty much sums it up.

How Do I Define Womanhood: Strength, Grace, Passion, Resilience

My Favorite Fashion Publication:  Lucky Magazine

Thanks for asking me to play along Kelly!

Lots of Clinique! I am a bit of a Decleor girl but I would have answered the question about woman with the best sense of style in pretty much the same way. I like this game!
