Boots No 7

Another thing I found in Kansas City, completely by accident, was a new skin care routine.  In my nutty packing Christmas night, I failed to remember my many face creams (day and night)!!  So I wandered into my sisters bathroom and........found some amazing product.  Totally affordable too, which I love.

The British drugstore chain, Boots, started selling their products here in the United States in the recent past.  The skincare routine Amy (my sis) is using is from their No 7 line.  I used the daytime and nighttime moisturizers, as well as the Beauty Serum, and I was hooked after just one use.  So I picked up the line myself and have been using it for about a week now.  For real - my skin looks better.  I don't know what's so different about it but my skin is thanking me!

Here are the items - available at Target and Drugstore.com most notably.

Yep, more Coral!

I've been a bit absent from writing these past few days - I embarked on a quick trip to Kansas City with the kiddos on Saturday, and I'm headed home tomorrow.  It's been a fun and very busy trip with seeing family and getting the kids some quality time with their Papa and Mimi!

I managed to carve out a little time yesterday to go see my friend Maria at the Laura Mercier counter in Nordstroms here, and I found yet another coral Spring 2011 must have.  Enough with the coral?  Maybe for you, but not for me!  ;-)

I picked up the Shimmer Lip Colour Lipstick in Coral (not so inventive on the names) and I have been wearing it all day.  I love it and it works for an everyday, daytime look.

Laura Mercier Shimmer Lip Colour in Coral, $22

This is the best representation of the color that I can find online.  It's very pretty!
