What's the point of make up if you don't have the tools to make it work?!

In my search for an insomnia cure, I found SatinSilk -- a specially-design pillow case that, wait for it, is designed for skincare. No, there isn't any slow-release chemical that helps your skin but simple old silk.

It's based on research that cotton pillow-cases causes more friction with the surface of skin, which causes more wrinkles and can inflame skin rashes etc. I also found out that silk/satin cases prevent damage to our hair (when you wake up and find countless hair strands on your pillow, it's not a good thing) and while I am not at 'laugh lines' stage, I do get acne and it does what it says on the tin! I am not finding as many broken strands of hair either and I think it may be curing insomnia but that's not on the tin.

The cases are eco-friendly and also come in eco-friendly package but the price range is steep -- £40 for a pillowcase (though they have a Christmas offer of £60 for two cases) but it's not like you buy pillow cases on a monthly basis, unless you are Adrian Monk. Unfortunately, it's only available in the UK at the moment, but you could always see if they will send it abroad. Because I can't extoll the virtues of this pillowcase enough, I will settle for saying Must-Buy!

Earthnicity Natural Mineral Makeup

First to recommend

Description

I was looking for a company that only sold pure mineral pigments to replace my main make-up (eyeshadow etc) since they have really long life, even more so when you put them in the fridge. I found this uk-based mineral pigment company and they make the basics -- the mineral eyeshadows, concealer, foundations, blusher & bronzer, and finishing powder. I've only used the eyeshadow and concealer so far but the eyeshadows, just to clarify, are intense pigments more suited for the night than day. They mix easily and are really easy to use -- definitely something add to your cosmetic bag!

A recent find -- a company that specialises in face, hand and feet tools. The usual: tweezers, brow groomers, eyelash curlers, nail files, nail buffers, nail clippers, cuticle sticks, foot rasps, callous shavers etc. I love their products; it's a simple line (I don't like the lines that have 10 different products that do the same things), colourful and fantastically functionally. I carry their Smart Shaper (nail cleaner, cuticle pusher and nail file in one) and Lash Lover (a lash comb, fantastic for clearing clumps post-mascara application) at all times. Super convenient and quirky. Definite must-haves!
