Eyes + Scent
.1. Too Faced Lash Injection in Hot Chocolate
With this giant, full, bristled brush, you'll get great coverage on each lash. The drawback is that it plumps the lashes more than it lengthens them; after a few coats you will notice the mascara starting to clump. Later in the day it may flake off onto your cheekbones. I love the initial look after application if you don't overcoat, but this mascara doesn't measure up to Dior DiorShow; especially where lengthening & full day coverage are concerned.
.2. Paco Rabanne Lady Million
With a hint of orange & raspberry, this perfume is subtly intoxicating. My husband commented that it's his favorite scent I've ever worn which is impressive considering I've been through a number of perfumes throughout the course of our relationship.
Noé Duchaufour-Lawrance was inspired by the Regent diamond -- on display at the Louvre -- when designing the bottle. The full size bottle will be added to my wish list after I've used every last ounce of my sample.
.3. Clinique All About Eyes
Apply this lightweight eye cream after exfoliating & washing your face in the evening to achieve noticeably refreshed lids. You may also use it in the morning as well to nourish your skin & better hold your makeup in place all day.
I've only tried using it at night & loved the results; I've been scrapping every last bit out until I order in for a new one. I would suggest starting with the 0.5oz bottle to see if you feel the same way before investing in the larger size.
*Currently in Hong Kong; surprised to see that I could access Blogger. Gladly took full advantage, so I could share this post earlier than planned.

Week Two
The Big Three:
.1. Made By Girl
.2. Lovelorn Unicorn
.3. Making it Lovely
*So by now, I am in China & will be working there for the next two weeks. Last time I was there, which was a year ago, I was unable to access Blogger, so this may be my last post until I return. Just couldn't rationalize spending my last hours at home with husband & pup working on a million scheduled posts.

Bloggers Day of Silence
Tomorrow I am participating in the Bloggers Day of Silence organized by Ever Ours and Utterly Engaged. Found this on 100 Layer Cake's Blog.
So many people are making it so easy to take time out to contribute. I gladly tacked on a donation to my morning Starbucks order (you can give up to $200 there). Do what you can when you can to help combat the devastating events taking place overseas.

Mini Munchies
These mini grilled cheese sandwiches + mugs of individual tomato soup would be a unique appetizer for winter or dreary day dinner parties. We had regular sized grilled cheese sandwiches + bowls of tomato soup after I spotted this picture here.

Bringing the Hurt
Found: Wedding Ring Brass Knuckles.
Merely for intimidating anyone who doesn't follow suit when you're planning your wedding (hopefully most will honor your wishes, but some, well, they're going to try to make everything about themselves... consider yourself warned, ladies & gents). Found on Refinery29.

Five & Ten
For a fancy-schmancy dinner out in Athens, Georgia, get yourself & other deserving family & friends out to Five & Ten. We went all out for our Valentine's weekend dinner here (thanks to a giftcard from my Mom's boss); it was quite indulgent & a great excuse to wear heels. Make a reservation, arrive early, & enjoy a drink at the bar before you're seated.
And yes, it's taken me this long since mid-February to post this & spread the word, but it'll be totally worth it if you go even once.
