If you’re anything like me, when you find something that works well for you consistently, it becomes a staple you can rely on for some time. (Unless the product is discontinued, like THE perfect lip liner by Bobbi Brown called blush…) but thankfully, that doesn’t happen all that often.

Following are a few more of my favorite things that have served me well. They range in category and price range, but not in performance.

1. hanky pankyVPL’s (visible panty lines): If you are a person who dislikes VPL’s, but who dislikes the feel of a thong even more, your prayers have been answered. The original rise thong by Hanky Panky is the perfect marrying of comfort and function. The stretchy lace is soft and strong, but even better is the width of the back….wide enough to be comfortable, but narrow enough for no panty lines. Although it is O/S (one size) I find the lace extremely giving and the website states that it fits sizes 4-14.

2. great-lash-clear_small-shotEyebrow Gel: Ever want to go make-up free but still feel the need to ‘groom’. Maybelline clear mascara is like magic. Even if you do not have a full brow and usually fill in with #3 (below), this product neatens the brow with a natural look and stays in place all day. Good for men too! (Just not too much)

3.s1056084-main-hero-300 Eyebrow Pencil: After trying practically every eyebrow pencil on the market, I found this incredible tool accidentally at Ulta. Eyebrow Wiz by Anastasia is a dual sided tool with a twisty brush on one end and the filler on the other. The first step is to brush the brows out, then lightly fill in the brow with soft brush strokes. Then brush again to blend. Easy peasy! It comes in a range of colors but if you have a hard time matching to your hair color and skin tone, ask one of the make-up artists to try them on you. Also available at Sephora.

4. pantone-color-inlinePantone’s Color: Sometimes, the color of the year does not flatter all of us. Lucky for us the color of the year is Marsala! It is slightly lighter than a red wine color and can be flattering on most skin/hair/eye colors. Personally, I prefer a deeper wine color and feel that it is even more flattering on most. If you feel like an outfit in this color is too bold for you, wear it in an accessory such as tights or shoes, or in your lipstick or nail polish color.

VS Shaper

5. Shapers: There aren’t very many effective and comfortable high-waistecameo_high_waist_brief_yt5-051_mink_frontd shapers with a thong back. There are, however, high-waist brief shapers like this one from Yummie By Heather Thomson, which works really well. For those of us who need the shaper to work overtime 😉 (and with the thong option) there is the Victoria’s Secret high-waisted thong shaper. This product is firm enough to do the job (however difficult it may be) but comfortable enough to wear every day.

That’s it for part two. If you need or want more info, please reach out, Joddie@JoddiesCloset.com or 732-616-1692.

A Few of My Favorite Things…..

The first in a series, this post category is about Beauty and Cosmetics.

I’ve invested in the pricey cosmetics as well as saved with the drug store brands. Over the years, I have probably used hundreds of products and although I’m always trying out “Allure’s best of beauty” products (Allure Best of Beauty), I do have a few of my own favorites to share.

1. Mascgreat-lash-clear_model-shot_144055ara: I’ve used some of the more pricey mascaras, such as Diorshow by Dior, which continues to do well on many lists of favorites. However, I always go back to basics with Maybelline great lash mascara in blackest black. It consistently does the job well and at a cost of about five dollars, it is well within my budget.

Laura Mercier TM

2. Tinted Moisturizer:  When I first heard about tinted moisturizer, I was attracted to the idea that I could remove one step from my makeup routine, (something my husband would 2thoroughly appreciate). What I found was that the tinted moisturizers that I applied were too thick. Then I had the pleasure of a complimentary make-up application at the Laura Mercier counter at Nordstrom. It is there that I found a favorite tinted moisturizer that wasn’t too thick for my skin.  To reduce the shine on oily skin, try a setting powder like this one from Mac  prep + prime.

3. Shampoo & Conditioner: Here is where a salon product is worth the investment for me. Although, I also use the drug store brands of shampoo and conditioner and alternate, I have yet to find 1069-283938-signture_product_crousel_780x300a shampoo and conditioner that consistently does the job as well as Nexxus signature product line, across all price points.

4. Lip Gloss: I’m not sure how many different ways there are to describe gloss or shine. However, if you look at all the product displays of lip glosses in retcovers_sku-Y0028670-F002867001ail stores, you can get a pretty good idea. My favorite one (and the one that seems to work best), is Dior Addict Lip Maximizer.  It contains Hyaluronic fillers that moisturize , smooth and plump the lips. I use this every day, with or without make-up.

5.  Body Butter and Body Mist: I recently discovered the Victoria’s Secret PINK line of beauty products. I was looking for a body lotion/body mist combo that was subtle and that haV360828d a fresh and clean scent. I found the warm & cozy fragrance of Body Butter and Body Mist. The body butter has a luminous finish and when you spray the mist after you’ve applied the body butter, the scent lasts all day.
