Now, I know La Prairie is a pricey skincare line; one most mortals cannot afford to try nor fall in love with. This is a special holiday edition size (5.2 oz), and the price tag? Oh, a mere $900.00! So let me ask you dear readers, have any of you tried La Prairie’s products? What was your experience? I keep thinking for $900.00, why don’t I save up for a face lift? Botox?
What are Saturdays made for? How are you spending your Saturday? (And for that matter, how about Sunday, too?)
I’m lazing around the house for another hour or two before heading up to my parents’ house for the day. Sunday will be mostly devoted to school work (how fun!).

I recently had the pleasure of trying four of Face Time’sWell-to-Hue eyeshadows in Camilla’s Class (muted purple with subtle silver shimmer), Jamie’s Gem (rich medium-green with gold shimmer), Lauren’s Loyalty (white beige with gold undertones), and Virginia’s Vitality (matte medium pink). All of Face Time’s eyeshadows have been named after women who have influenced the company along with their “most valuable attributes.” Each shadow gave me great color pay off, felt like butter, and I liked that they come in a variety of shades to serve every woman’s needs. Of course, I fell in love with the green (who doesn’t love a green with a touch of gold in it?), and I tend to gravitate towards any white-gold colors, like Lauren’s Loyalty. At $12 a pop, they are hard to resist! Head over to www.facetimecosmetics.com to see the other shadows or make a purchase.
Zoya’s Akyra (from Utopia | Winter 2007/08) is a gorgeous muted teal color. I kind of wish for a brighter, bolder teal, but I think this one is excellent because it’s very wearable. It also looks great with both cool and warm skintones from what I’ve found, which is a definite plus. It has great opacity, and you can get great color with two coats of polish! $6
This color, as well as the rest of Utopia, is available at fine salons and www.zoya.com.
I used Uppity fluidline all over lid, Creme Royale eyeshadow on inner lid, Goldmine eyeshadow on inner lid, Mi’Lady (red) eyeshadow on middle of lid, Manor eyeshadow on outer lid and crease, Velvet Lady eyeshadow in outer crease, Ricepaper eyeshadow above crease and on brow, Goldmine eyeshadow on lower lash line, and Black Karat kohl power on lower lash line. I wore Margin blush on cheeks with Sculpt sculpting powder to contour and Peach Haze beauty powder to highlight. I had Thrills lipstick with Poetique lipglass on my lips.
