Full disclosure: I'm not one for group fitness. I prefer to work out alone with the most basic of equipment. I'm skeptical of trendy or gimmicky workouts. And after my first class at Studio Lagree, I can attest that I'll be back for a second.
To be plain, Studio Lagfree served me up some humble pie along with pleasantly burning hamstrings. Studio Lagree's instructor led me through a 50 minute workout on its patented Megaformer carriage. The class was one part super-charged pilates with one part cardio. The slow, controlled movements are designed to strengthen and lengthen muscles, but the constant movement keeps heart rates elevated for a nice cardio kick. All major muscle groups are hit, so it makes for an efficient full body workout. And because the participant controls the resistance and intensity of their own Megaformer, the classes are suitable for all fitness levels.
The instructors and studio are gorgeous without being intimidating and the fun music made the 50 minutes absolutely fly by.

Benefit Gimme Brow+ Volumizing Eyebrow Gel
I'm so, so lazy when it comes to my brows. They are fair enough that I never fuss with them. A sample of Gimme Brow changed my mind. Literally one swipe with this mini mascara wand makes my brows look fancy. And done without being too done. Love it.

I love this product. Seabuckthorn oil chills my skin out.
This one from Fresh has all sort of other good things added to its Seabuckthorn base, like vitamin E, cranberry seed, camellia seed, grapeseed, and sweet almond—all omega rich.
It doesn't have anything scary in it, no parabens, sulfates or sythetics.
You only need a drop or two, or it lasts for ages.

Sephora Blotting Papers
Rather than add product to my face, I prefer blotting papers to freshen up and Sephora has ones with green tea in them. I doubt there is any effective benefit from them, but I like how they smell.

Smashbox Eye Beam
Smashbox Eye Beam is really fun. It is double-ended with this creamy, light iridescent magic stuff. The thick end is a highlighter and I use the narrow end on the inner corner of my eyes or to rim the inside line if I look tired. Salvation!

MAC Cosmetics Lipstick in Russian Red
If you're going to commit to wearing a red lip, this is the one. It's creamy and matte without being drying. When it fades, you smudge your lips together and it just looks messy/hot. I apply it with my fingertip, rather than the stick or a lip brush... +
If you're going to commit to wearing a red lip, this is the one. It's creamy and matte without being drying. When it fades, you smudge your lips together and it just looks messy/hot.
I apply it with my fingertip, rather than the stick or a lip brush to keep it from looking too done, more of a stain.

LUSH Coconut Deodorant Powder
Yummy smelling multi-tasker - skins feels silky smooth. Doubles as a dry shampoo, in a pinch.

The scent on this body wash is out of this world. My fiance stocks and I suitably steal it in the shower.
It smells like winter, but in a really, really good way. The ingredients are top notch: organic olive, organic coconut and organic jojoba oil; Natural fragrance from plants, mushrooms, wood, bark, and moss.
It's around $40 for 8 ounces, but trust, worth it.

Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler
There is a reason this lash curler has such a cult following. Best. Because it's so damn good, avoid clamping down too hard or you'll crimp/kink lashes. Little mini gentle squeezes along the lash line!

Schwarzkopf Professional OSiS+ Dust It Mattifying Powder
My desert island hair product, I can't live without OSiS Dust It. It adds ommph to freshly washed hair that lacks grip and pops volume back into day two hair. It adds lift and body without making hair sticky.
