This is not your mother's hairspray!
Just getting back about the Morrocan Oil Hairspray. Since no one responded and did not go out and buy it and respond, I felt the need to purchase it myself as usual and try it. Thankfully, I did not waste my money because I really like it. It smells great which I like because I don't want to smell like chemicals. However, this is not for people who want cement to plaster down their hair. This is very light for those pieces of hair that want to go left, that you want to go right. Or maybe that's just my problem. Not sure. Anyway, good stuff. :)

Update on Obagi C
I have been using Obagi C sort of off and on. It is a little dry for me. I tend to use the night cream more than the day routine. Although, I have a friend (she hasn't commented yet about this on my blog), who claims she loves it and that I should stick with it. The dryness she says goes away and she loves it. Obagi is a great product. They also have the regular Nu Derm system which is great. So if you haven't tried that you might look into it. A lot of dermatologist carry it in their offices.

urban decay eyeliner
I recently purchased the Urban Decay eyeliner that I heard was good (Allure award or something). Anyway, I got the black, some color called Dime and another called Gun Powder. My daughter was with me so some of it was for her. The woman at the Sephora counter scared us a bit when she asked if we have a heavy duty eye makeup remover because this stuff is "industrial" (she said) in terms of waterproof. I don't think it really is though. My problem is that I think eyeliner pencil doesn't really work for me. I may not have the right shaped eyes/aging. However, I will say that the Dime and Gun Powder are pretty especially,I think, if you have light eyes. Very silvery/ Probably best on the lower lid. So if you do use eyeliner and are good at putting it on, they are creamy and go on nicely. One other thing about eyeliner I notice, is that I think as you get older, dark eyeliner on the bottom eyelid does not look good. Maybe this is not true for everyone, but I think it draws the eye down. At least it does for me. Just food for thought.

Glo minerals-concealer
As a matter of fact the La Mer is a bit pricey. I think it was around $80.00. However, it does seem like I will have it forever. Another good one is the Glo Minerals one. It comes in a little round container with 2 tones. half and half. I use the light tones but they come in different shades. Also very good and cheaper.
La Mer - concealer
BTW, a really good concealer is one from La Mer. It comes in a little compact. I use the color Medium. It is creamy and goes on well. Seems like it will last a long time to.
Obagi C update
It has been over a week now that I have been using Obagi C. I do like it. It isn't very moisturizing though so at night I put a little moisturizer on top. I think next time though I would buy the serum for normal to dry skin, not normal to oil.

Obagi C
I am currently trying the new line (I think it is new) by Obagi called Obagi C (because I am a push over for anything new and a friend was using it). It is pushing the whole thing about Vitamin C helping to diminish fine lines and sun/age spots.It also has hydroquinone for skin lightening. I'm not sure if it is for me because it doesn't feel very moisturizing to me. I do like the sunscreen (spf 30) but I'm thinking that I like the skinceuticals Phloretin CF (vitamin C) serum better and then use the Obagi sunscreen. The problem might be that I got the Obagi serum for oily skin (oil free) because that is what the woman told me to do since I break out sometimes. I'm thinking I need the oil. We'll see.

New domain-VanitySpot.com
I purchased a domain for my blog a while ago but have just recently figured out a way to use it. The name is VanitySpot.com. (I don't think it matters if you don't use capital letters) So if you can't remember the Laurinslist.blogspot.com name, VanitySpot.com will also work now. I think. This is kind of fun to mess around with. :))
