Sadly, a No-Go: Laura Mercier Oil-Free Tinted...
I had such high-hopes for this product given all the rave reviews I’ve heard and seen. But alas, after using it for 3 days, the moisturizer is causing me to break out. Such a shame, because the shade was truly perfect (Sand) and it made my complexion look flawless (if only at first). I’ll stick w my Clé de Peau concealer (which truly is magical, and worth every penny) and Smashbox...

Sign of exceptionally good marketing?
I have an unexplainable urge to go check out the GAP, but I can’t say that I recall seeing any ads for the store lately.  I haven’t been in that store for maybe a year, so this could be interesting.

Some thoughts on the Theory Kabee Belted dress....
Some background on the situations during which I wore this dress — once to a marketing meeting with a fund investor in Manhattan, and another time, on a due diligence trip that required climbing in and out of a chartered 8-person jet and navigating through a hard-hat construction site (in heels no less).

The ultimate luxury.
Real gold flakes suspended in a high-gloss clear polish — Rococo Gold Leaf Lacquer.   I originally saw this on some blog (maybe ALU?) over a year ago and was DYING to get a bottle. But the only place to order online (domestically) — Space NK Apothecary — was all. sold. out.  Tragic, I know. So on a total sign-I’m-an-internet-junkie whim, I added the link to my bookmarks...
