A Wink And A Smile


A few years ago (actually more than I care to remember) I was living in San Francisco and answered an ad to work in cosmetics.  I was intrigued because I had never worked in that field and I thought, why the heck not? Well I got "the call" from Benefit Cosmetics, a SF based makeup company, and went to a little office off of Pine St.  I was totally unqualified since I had never sold makeup before but they were about the coolest people I have met. The vibe was very laid back and fun. I didn't get the job (one of the saddest days of my life) but I immediately beelined to Macy's to check out their stuff. I tried "Dr Feelgood" first and like a heroin addict, I have been chasing the dragon ever since.

If you are looking for an eyeshadow that sticks with you like carbs on my thighs, this is the one for you. Benefit Creaseless Cream/Shadow Liner is the best cream shadow available. You can use it on its own or as a primer under your favorite shadow. They have 11 colors but for everyday I have been using r.s.v.p. which is a sparkling champagne color.  It is 19.00 a pop but it will last you a very long time so it is worth the splurge.  You can find the line at Sephora, Macy's and they have some free standing stores mostly on East and West Coasts.
