Nordstrom Anniversary is in full swing (I know, I know...I did not do a full post of all the stuff I wanted this year, mostly bec I didn't want that much this year! I am on a clothing ban!) and one of the few items I wanted to get was a new Mia2. I have the Mia (Alien Laser Deathray Gun) and used it a few times a week off and on, but was hoping maybe if I had another speed that I would get more out of it besides zits.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Tweezerman ProCurl Eyelash Curler
PRODUCT REVIEW/COMPARE: Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer VS Loreal Magic Lumi Concealer
I am a glutton for punishment. Seriously. Short answer: IF I had to choose one, Maybelline. But they both mostly blow chunks.
Loreal: Super sheer. I get irrationally angry reading the word concealer on this thing. The damn thing doesn't cover anything. It's seriously see through completely.
Maybelline: Less sheer, but at least has a little something going on in the pigment department. Where this one beats Loreal, and not by a lot, there is some kind of shimmery business in it. That actually does make a difference, hence why I plaster my whole eye area in ten pounds of champagne shimmer eyeshadow. In photos it seems decent when compared to the Loreal, but not by a lot.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Malin+Goetz SPF15 Moisturizer
While in Chicago last week, I stopped in Barneys for one of the less awkward Oak Street shopping experiences I had. At least there they took advantage of my desire to buy things I cannot readily acquire at home, and yknow, acknowledged my existence. I really liked Andrew, with Malin+Goetz, who is a registered esthetician. That to me is kind of a big deal, because they're at least trained to understand skin. By someone not a brand, in theory. Of the two skincare items I picked up in Chicago, this so far is a definite winner for me, which I hope continues.
PRODUCT REVIEW: Maybelline VolumeExpress MEGAPLUSH Mascara (waterproof)
A few weeks ago I picked up a tube of this MegaPlush mascara because I can't seem to track down the Full n Soft WP anymore, without buying online, so I am sad that it's appearing to be phased out or discontinued. Nothing even comes close so that's a shame.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Tom Ford Illuminating Highlight Pen
The Tom Ford Illuminating Highlight Pen, masquerading as a concealer, is another of the items I got while in Chicago, and another "concealer" that needs to not be marketed as such. I should note that I accidently typed suck instead of such. It's appropriate.
PRODUCT REVIEW: By Terry Touche Veloutee Concealer
This might be a record for me to actually DO the review within a week of the purchase...
While on a weekend in Chicago, I was on a mission to obtain and test out a few new products, especially concealers, as I think you are aware by now I have a fixation on. I know that's a bigger shopping market with significantly better and bigger selections of products to choose from. And I was correct. One of my first stops was at the Barneys on Oak at Rush, where I knew they sold Kevyn Aucoin, By Terry, and Malin+Goetz. I have a review on a Malin+Goetz product coming soon, I am trying to get a little more use from it before I decide one way or another--though so far good.

REVIEWS TO COME...Plus a "note" to all salespeople
I just had a (poorly timed, what with Nordstrom Anniversary this week!) huge haul in Chicago over the weekend. So Ill be busting out a few reviews here shortly after I try everything I got!
A few include PhilipB Russian Amber shampoo (jesus H this stuff is ridiculously priced!), ByTerry concealer pen, Tom Ford concealer pen, and a couple Davines products. I just got home and haven't touched anythign yet. So HOPEFULLY they are all winners.
I will say this...attention all salespeople: I might not be the richest or the poorest, I know I am not thin by any means, and Saturday I woke up to deal with more phone drama, so I wasn't exactly styled for shopping...but just bec I look like a slob doesn't mean I cannot throw down. So don't be a wench to me if you want to make rent this month.
