Beauty on the Go

This is genius.  Sephora now has a vending machine filled with about 30 of their most delicious products located on MOA’s first level, west side (at the bottom of the elevator).  This makes it easy to get your product fix (or pick up a gift) without getting distracted or having to wait in line.  Product selection includes Urban Decay Eyelid Primer, Make Up Forever HD Powder, Kinerase eye cream, a variety of perfumes and much more.  

Hand Relief

I recently discovered the most delightful hand cream.  L’Occtaine Shea Butter Hand Cream ($26 for 5.2 oz) available at L’Occtaine.  With shea butter, almond, jasmine and ylang-ylang, this thick cream smells clean and fresh, but somehow innocent (like a freshly washed baby).  It blends nicely and is extremely moisturizing – perfect for that dehydrated skin that comes with the Minnesota winter! L’Occitane is located on level 2, West.

Beauty Blunders

Ever have one of those mornings when you’re rushed putting on your makeup, you sprint out the door, sit through an important meeting…then finally have a moment to look in the mirror, only to realize you have mascara all over your eyelid (eek!)?  Don’t let this happen to you.  Stop in to Bare Escentuals to pick up their On the Spot Eye Makeup Remover ($5).  The small box contains 24 liquid-filled swabs (that look just like Q-tips).  To use, just snap (or bend) the swab in half and the liquid (make-up remover) flows into the cotton portion. This is a simple and efficient way to fix make-up blunders.  A must have for your make-up bag. Bare Esecntuals has two locations: level one, East & level two, north.
