Shu Uemura's "Drawing Pencil"

Did you know L'Oreal owns Shu Uemura? I only found out during my trip to the L'Oreal sale. If you live in Montreal, you know that twice a year L'Oreal holds an invitation only warehouse sale. This spring, the sale had added a tiny Shu Uemura table. Among the selection I found their "Drawing Pencil" in lilac.

I hesitated picking it up because I was worried it would be too bold for my fair skin. But it is actually quite soft.

Its a nice change from my usual brown eyeliner, but one can only tell the colour from up close. Would I have picked it up knowing its effect? Sadly, no. The pencil was $26, and personally I don't think the colour payoff is worth it. Sorry Shu Uemura! I am still open to trying more of their products though!  

OPI Avojuice Skin Quenchers

Since spring has been making an appearance, I've been in the market for a lighter body lotion. I came across O.P.I.'s "Avojuice: Skin Quenchers"  for a gift, and ended up buying one for myself.

They come in a variety of scents and in different formats, in 15ml for your purse, 200ml for your desk or locker, and in 600ml, the size I purchased.  I feel in LOVE with the jasmine scent. It comes in a light purple/grey toned lotion, that leaves your skin smelling yummy.

It dries fast, and without the sticky, globby feeling that a richer cream would leave.

It contains ingredients such as Vitamin E, aloe extract and avocado oil, so I know its doing my skin some good. I even purchased one in ginger lily scent for my kitchen! Find it at beauty supply stores or from your local aesthetician.
