Za Groovy Smoovy

I like Za Groovy Smoovy, an oil-blotting powder that does what it says by powdering away shine and grease on the face.  This works well for me in two ways. 

One is to use it as a sort of base powder, when I just want to dab away the shine on my face especially after applying sunblock in the morning without having to put on my compact powder.  It gives me a rather natural translucent complexion, even doing a better job than loose powder.

Gardeners Hand Therapy

Crabtree & Evelyn has a series of wonderful hand creams.  Amongst the series, one of the earlier ones I’ve tried is Gardeners Hand Therapy which contains shea butter as well as extracts of yarrow, clover and calendula to help soothe and condition work-roughened hands. 

Deliciously dark nail colours

Chanel Black Satin nail polish maybe hot but it may not suit everyone.  And really, what’s so fun if everyone is going around town with black nails?  Lucky there are alternatives to set you apart, yet allow you to still have some drama, nail-wise. 

Consider navy blue and midnight blue polish which are current hots.  Check out Blueberry Glaze from Misa, Kabaret from Nails Inc, Up All Night from China Glaze or Midnight Magic from CoverGirl.  Totally bluish and vampy.

Fyrinnae Underthere Face Primer

I’m so glad I stumbled upon Fyrinnae and got to purchase their Underthere Primer, amongst other products.  This is a great face primer, and a daily makeup staple for me now.  

It’s such a simple and plain looking product.  No fanciful packaging.  No fanciful smell.  Yet, it does wonder to my face as my makeup look velvety and smoother over it.  Not only that, my powder actually stays longer as my face don’t secrete as much oil as before.
