h.s. products

There are a few things in each girls beauty routine that she cannot live without. Her are a few of mine......

1} Laura Mercier loose powder- light and just the amount of coverage i need

2} Urban Decay eye shadows- the pigments in these are incredible

3} L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara in carbon black- my lashes are always bigger and better when i wear this

4} Philosophy's Summer Grace shower gel- the scent is heavenly and leaves skin super soft

5} Nars Bronzer in Laguna- nothing else like it

6} Moroccan Oil- i switched from BioSilk to this and there is no comparison (contains no alcohol like all the other stuff!)

7} Victoria's Secret perfume in Vixen- bought on sale for $12 and glad i did- the scent is super young and sexy

golden mason

I was scouring Glitter Guide on day when I came across the image below. One of the 'Glitter Girls' featured used gold mason jars for vases at her wedding. Though I am not getting married, I decided to make one to use as a fabulous pencil holder....thoughts!?
