Gift bag swag reviews

Here are a few products that I've received in gift bags lately and just may purchase once I run out.


I attended a Clarins seminar last month and was taught the "proper" way to apply moisturizer - warm it by rubbing your hands together, and then apply to your face with soft presses. At first this sounded awkward, but once I got home and tried it, it felt incredibly natural. This is the Clarins Multi-Active Day, which is made specifically for the woman on the go!




I never understood the point of scented mascara, but this smells delicious. I have Prescriptives Lash Envy in Brown and really like it. It doesn't clump and isn't overwhelming. Sounds odd - isn't that the point of mascara? But my eyes just can't handle a lot of it. This is great for during the day.




I can't hold it in any longer... I LOVE glittery makeup. Have since high school. I like smoky eyes and pale lips and these glosses add just the right amount of kick.


I could right about my favorite products for hours. But I attended a charity cocktail reception tonight and had several glasses of chardo. I'm surprised I even typed this much. Goodnight!

Fun stuff! If you are looking for a mascara that might not bother your eyes, try Origins. Lots of mascara bother mine and these is one that doesn't.

The Prescriptives Lash Envy sounds great and I love the colors in that Bobbi Brown set.
