Banner Day in Beauty: L'Oreal Bare Natural Mineral-Enriched Eyeliner

Girls, it was a banner day in beauty here at the SPOT. First we finally tried out this lovely new earth-friendly eyeliner from L'Oreal, then we got the most lovely sponsor for a beauty event we are planning, and then at dinner my eyeliner actually turned heads. Kid you not.

L'Oreal's new Bare Naturale Eyeliner is super easy to apply, precise, and gentle on the most sensitive eyelids (mine puff up at the slightest mention of chemicals.) It didn't smudge on this the hottest southern summer day, and came off easily with my lovely Tammy Fender Cleanser-turned-eye-makeup-remover.

All three shades (Onyx, Slate, & Cocoa) are preservative, talc and fragrance free. These easily wielded wands are also made of 100% natural Gmelina wood. I've scoured the Internet and this pencil is sold out everywhere. Run to your local drugstore girls, run!

Practically Perfect in Every Way: Jane Iredale Eye Gloss

Last week's schedule nearly killed me. This week, in thinking about what I could do differently, I decided to have more fun - even amidst the overwhelming pile of (too much!) work, prodigal pet projects, and blessed family visits. Not once last week did I allow myself the 30 seconds (in total) it takes to apply my favorite eyeshadow. Aptly titled "Eye Gloss," due to its easy application and enchanting appeal, this eye-makeup-made-easy shadow will permanently dominate the real estate market in your makeup bag for a long time to come.

Even for the makeup challenged this unique eye gloss from Mineral Makeup maverick, Jane Iredale, is simple as mud to apply. Simply sweep the self contained applicator over the crease of the eye and smear over the lid as you would smooth a gloss over lips. Elegant, glamorous, and earth friendly. Enjoy!
