Have you gone shopping at any of the post-holiday blowout sales? I attempted to stimulate the economy this evening by taking a little shopping trip downtown. It was a mild evening, so I walked a couple of miles from the office to Union Square. I stopped at a bunch of stores on my way: Anthropologie (a guilty pleasure of mine), J Crew, Banana Republic, Crate & Barrel, Coach, Zara, Barnes & Noble, but nothing jumped out at me. I have always been cautious with my money, but even more so lately. If I don’t love something, I don’t buy it.

Speaking of things I love, I am stocking up on my beloved high intensity eye contour before it goes extinct. My heart broke a little bit when I found out it was going to be discontinued-it’s everything I love and need in an eye cream-a little caffeine to reduce my morning puffy eyes, a little moisturization to fill in fine lines and wrinkles and it made the perfect base for applying concealer on top of-not too slippery, but still hydrating. It’s the perfect all-year eye cream. It’s hydrating in the winter and controls allergy-induced puff. Since I moved to New York two years ago I am allergic to virtually everything. Lucky me.

*sigh* Farewell, my little eye cream friend. You will be missed.

I am so excited to play with the new Laboratoire Remede skin care when it launches. They’ve really got the products under wraps right now. I’m pretty sure the CIA is guarding the samples, because I haven’t been able to get my little paws on any of it, but I am being patient *hint hint*
