When I wasn’t as obsessed with beauty as I am now, I remember playing with my little Hard Candy Take Out Makeup Kit…the packaging was just so cute! Unfortunately, Hard Candy disappeared from the market…

Well, there’s no reason for me to be sad any longer, Hard Candy is back at Wal-Mart with a price point of less than $10 each for the Recessionista in all of us!

MAC Dazzleglass Creme: Subtle on Shimmer but with Lots of Shine

Dazzleglass Creme lippies

ecoTOOLS Bath and Body Collection

Eco Tools Body Wash

Since the Boyfriend still resides in San Francisco and I don’t have much else to do when I get off from work, I’ve been hitting the gym regularly these days.

After 30 minutes of cardio and the treadmill and another 30 minutes of weight training, I’m yucky and sweaty and all I want to do is get in the shower.

I dunno about you but gym showers have a level of ick that I’m not totally comfortable with. To make it feel less “public”, I carry all my own shampoos, exfoliators and body washes.

My current gym bag body wash and lotion is one that helps takes all the ick away and lets me breathe in the sweet scent of tropical mangos – ecoTOOLS Bath & Body Collection.
