Yay, I'm so excited! Quick question: how do Potion and Confection compare? They both have the pomegranate and black currant. I don't have Confection, so I'm wondering which I'd like better.

Hehe! When we went to drive I totally thought I'd nail it, but Kris lapped me a few times. I "let" him win

I'm pretty sure I drive faster just going to the store, but it was fun.
I'll do a sniff test tomorrow on the fragrances!

Great collection Karen! I'm really excited about Hair Elixir, in fact, I've been using the lash gel to treat some bald spots I had on my head after stress-related hair loss! They almost grew back now and I'm sure lash gel played a role in that. How exactly is Hair Elixir used? Is it a "leave-in" treatment, a conditioner or a pre-shampoo?

Confection and Potion are very very similar. I'd say go for Potion- it's a little more complex, and Fallish.
The Hair Elixir is a leave-in treatment. Just spray it on your hair and massage it into your scalp a little. It has some good shine enhancers, and some proteins to help seal the vitamins into your cuticle.

Apparently Kris got a pic! They had an official photographer, but she came around after I had already gotten in the car, and had the helmet on....those cars are a tight squeeze if you have long legs.
It was a deal on Groupon and we got it for each other for Christmas. The helmets and suits were kinda gross (more than kinda actually), but it was fun to do 10 laps. They run it at a lot of different tracks- including a few in your neck of the woods IIRC.

I'll bet they'll have more on Groupon for next season. Bring Lysol.

So here I am

made my largest order ever! Since shipping rates increased I said goodbye to small orders and stock up rarely, but what an order is going to arrive now! I am still petrified with the amount spent after a long no-buy, but I already start counting days

so many refills, full sizes, lippies, gatzets, eye wardrobe...

My son became a schoolboy and my baby is almost 2 yo now and I am fully back to making myself up
