Coming with me shall be NARS new Day and Night Palette, a 6-well collection of shimmering and sparkling eyeshadow shades.

My goal is to be able to be sophisticated by day – it IS a business trip after all – and sexy and sassy by night – ya know, in case I meet my soul mate in a Macau casino.

The colors are highly pigmented, which means a hot punch of color, and they also last for hours without creasing – even more fabulous because I have a packed schedule.

So, wish me luck! Next stop: Choosing which shoes to pack.

She is obsessed with all things ginger – characters with that name, pink food items that come with sushi, ginger snap cookies. Me, not so much. It’s not that I dislike it, it’s just that ginger vs. chocolate, chocolate is going to win every time.

We may have finally found a place to coexist peacefully.

I’m loving the scent of Pangea’s Nigerian Ginger, Sweet Lavender & Thyme Facial Cream – it’s super-hydrating and has no harmful chemicals, but  is also rich in healthy essential fatty acids (EFAs). like Argan, Evening Primrose, Pumpkin Seed, and Shea Butter. These all help to hydrate the skin, and create a vitamin-like anti-aging effect.

But aside from being hydrating and nourishing, I was excited to see the flavor was actually quite delightful! So, maybe I can give ginger another shot. Though, still, it’s certainly not a chocolate cookie.

But when the product is also at a extra-great price, it becomes a done deal. Right now, for a limited time, at Sephora, you can get the Lust Dusters Trio for $10.

Lust Dusters is a special collection of three shimmering loose powders for the eyes and face. It creates an awesome – yet natural – luminous glow that you can put anywhere – your lids for totally showoff eyes or cheeks for a touch of glimmer.

The colors in this trio include Moon Doggie (mint green shimmer), Big Daddy (bronze shimmer), and GoGo Girl (pale pink shimmer) – great for mix-and-matching, and totally worth experimentation at this price!

So, what’s hot for Halloween nails?

Sephora

The easiest thing, obviously, is to, well, fake it. Dashing Diva’s Design Nails on the Go, available at Sephora, are TOTALLY cute – as in black with skulls! – but are natural-looking press-ons, meaning you don’t have to commit to them, at all. (And can have them even i you have short stubby nails.)

Of course, something to remember…if you are going for a non-skull-sympathetic costume (like, say, a nun) – you won’t want to choose this design.

I’m going to be Glenda the Good tomorrow, and I’m aiming for a shimmery pink – last year, I was more of a castaway starlet, and went for the palest peach. Your nails should reflect the rest of your look, or it’d just look like a…costume. And a not very good one at that.

We can’t have that, now, can we?

(Mostly because Halloween starts in about a half hour.)

First of all, I’m loving the new Sephora Halloween Kit -it’s only $19, and gives all sorts of fabulously Halloween-appropriate looks, all in one box.

The kit has anything you may need to create the look of a doll, fairy, and angel, including: False Eyelashes, Round a Pot in Beach Ball, Glitter Spray in Silver, Slim Eyeliner in Black, Slim Eyeliner in White, and Luminous Glow.

Why is this great? Well, if you are still looking for tips right now, you probably still have no idea what you are going to be tomorrow. You may as well keep your options open! Now lets hope there’s a store close enough for you to do a last-minute mad dash…

Well, right now at Elizabeth Arden, with coupon code BEAUTY25, we score a FREE 4 piece Deluxe Beauty Box.

The box is pretty cool, it includes a Double Density Maximum Volume Mascara, an Eyeshadow Quad, Mediterranean Eau de Parfum Spray, and a Ceramide Plump Perfect Eye Moisture Cream SPF 15.

As these are all items I’m a fan of anyway, it’s a doubly good deal – especially if you were going shopping there regardless!

However, I do not mean of the skirt variety – I am pushing my third decade after all – but I love mini sizes of my fave cosmetics.

My latest find is Bare Escentuals A Wink & A Kiss Buxom Lip & Lash Duo–in it, you’ll find their fabulous lip polish as well as a mini mascara, both of the Buxom variety.

I’m a huge fan of the Buxom Lip Polish immediately – it’s super shiny, but it also is loaded with antioxidants. So it’s sort of like taking our vitamins! The lash booster is very much the same concept – it adds volume and length, but it’s also super vitamin-enriched,  something your lashes will very much appreciate!

Each product I try, I’m a little more addicted to, and the new Lemon + Sage Soapy Suds Body Wash + Bubbling Bath is super perfect for my bath routine.
You know how smells influence your senses? Like some relax you, some invigorate you, some may even…um…create a sense of excitement…

Well, this is a citrus-scentedbody wash, and it’s undeniably stimulating to the senses, but it’s also super-hydrating: it has glycerin, aloe, and vitamin E.

It’s sold as a body wash, but I like to put a drop in some warm water and make a bath out of it. So so luxe!

In my trial uses the last few days, Fresh’s new Soy Face Cream seems not to disappoint!

Fresh Soy Face Cream is a Sephora-exclusive, and is stuffed with soy proteins – think of it as a smoothie for your face! It also is made with rose water, cucumber extract, meadowfoam, and jojoba seed oils.

These all work together to help to hydrate my skin, and also help to synthesize collagen – that means, if I continue to use it, my skin will be supple and firm!

We shall see…

All glam girls know that hitting the sheets without removing your makeup is a major beauty faux pas.

(Just think about those once-gorgeous-now-ruined satin sheets.)

In fact, dermatologist Dr. Diane Berson told me, “It’s important to remove makeup, dirt and surface oils before going to bed. Not only do they sit on the surface of the skin and clog pores but they may be further rubbed into skin by laying on a pillow.”

Do you struggle to remove every last trace of your makeup at night? Do you wake up in the morning with raccoon eyes? If you answered “yes” to either of these questions, then you are the perfect candidate to participate in eBeautyDaily’s Makeup Remover Towelette Challenge!

The first 10 readers to comment below and join in on the challenge will be entered to judge the competition to help us determine which makeup remover towlettes can tackle your longest-lasting, smudge-free makeup.

Judges will receive two unbranded makeup remover towelettes and a waterproof mascara in the mail to test and report back on. AND to thank you for your time and participation, you will ALSO score a $25 AMEX gift card.

The results will be announced after everyone gets back to me with their findings…
