The scarf necklace by MIGNONNE GAVIGAN NEW YORK as seen on Waiting On Martha

A few weeks ago while perusing some of my favorite blogs I saw the most amazing necklace.  Or was it a scarf?  Who knew?  All I knew is I wanted it, but with time being what time is (a thief), I simply pinned the image and moved on with my day.  Then I saw it again (a different design, but I knew it had to be the same).  So I took this as a sign from the universe and clicked over to Mignonne Gavigan.  MG is the insanely talented creator of these amazing scarf necklaces that I am now lusting, coveting, wish listing, obsessing, etc, etc, over.  Not only are they some of the most exquisite pieces I’ve laid my eyes on in awhile, they’re so original, which is hard to come by these days.  Plus they would go perfectly with my uniform of boyfriend shirts and jeans.  Now the questions, which one?  truly, MKR

I wouldn’t call myself a beauty junkie, I’m more like search-and-search-till-I-find-what-works-and-then-become-obsessively-loyal-pry-it-from-my-cold-dead-hands-product-junkie.  So when I say I have products I can’t live without, I mean it.  Sure those items change on occasion dependent on the season and as I age I invest more in the care of my skin than in the past, but all in all I’ve found a beauty regimen that works for me, and today I wanted to share a little piece of that.  Specifically the 5 best beauty products I cannot live without and I’d love to hear if you have any products that you hoard like there’s no tomorrow?  truly, MKR  

01.  Estee Lauder Stress Relief Eye Mask.  For those mornings when I’m looking extra puffy. 

02.  Clarisonic Opal.  I’ve used the Clarisonic brush for years so when the Opal hit the market I knew I had to try it.  Specifically targeted for the under eye area when used on a regular basis I’ve seen a dramatic improvement.  Are you spotting an eye trend yet?  My eyes are what is starting to really show my age.

03.  YSL Touche Eclat.  A game changer, and final step in erasing under eye circles and dark spots.  I literally use this every single day and swear by it.  Just make sure you buy one color lighter than you would normally go, you need this to illuminate as well as blend.  I wear the lightest shade possible, #1.

04.  Bare Minerals Foundation and Mineral Veil.  The only foundation that doesn’t seem to irritate my skin plus it has a SPF keeping that pale complexion of mine pale.

05.  YSL Burgundy Mascara.  I’m a natural blonde which means my eyelashes are practically translucent in color so I don’t leave the house without mascara, and currently I’m obsessed with YSL’s burgundy mascara for a more natural day look.

Not on the list, but just as much of a daily necessity; Clinique All About Eyes Serum, Amore Pacific Hydrating Creme, plus my signature pink lip.
