Looks like we know it all anyway! I'm going to post a hair one and a 'best tools' one soon too. IT's from the same article. I liked reading the article as well. Too bad I didn't write it, but I sure did enjoy it.Heh heh... Stay Tuned!

Impressed with some of their choices - I saw a few low-ends in there, so that makes me feel better. LOL. I actually own a few of those higher-end products, and they do work for me! When it comes to the NARS Multiples though, I fell on the Wet 'n' Wild bandwagon. I have "Flirt," which is touted by many as the exact replica of Copacabana.

Wet 'n' Wild has a super great cream blush that gives a dewy glow. I love it. You only need a little bit and I bet it's just as good as Bobbi Brown et al.
