Tonics and Tokidoki


One of the best tonics is time spent with friends. I got a double dose of friendship tonic yesterday. First, I met Karleen for a makeup and lunch date. After a hamburger at Johnny Rockets, we headed over to Bare Escentuals to look at the holiday kits. We both invested in one of their fun new products, "Brush With Genius," which is a magnetic, double-ended brush handle and five interchangeable brush heads in a stow & go case. Next, we went to Sephora to browse their holiday goodies. Neither one of us was familiar with Tokidoki, and we both fell in love with the packaging. If you're not familiar with Tokidoki, it's a Japanese-inspired lifestyle brand created by Italian artist Simone Legno. The brand includes apparel, footwear, accessories and, of course, makeup. The Tokidoki makeup line includes eyeshadows, eyeliners, a makeup mirror, makeup cases, a curling iron and lots of other fun stuff. I doubt if I'm going to try the makeup, because I doubt if it's gentle enough for my sensitive skin and eyes, but I have my eye on some of it for my Christmas list.
After we oohed and aahed sufficiently, we parted ways. I headed to Deb's house, so we could discuss my blog. She gave me some great ideas which I plan to incorporate. Afterwards, we headed over to Centennial Airport, where we met her husband Barry, and took advantage of the $10 dinner and $10 bottle of wine specials at the Perfect Landing. It was truly a great day.
