So, my 2010 challenge mentions nothing about beauty buys.  As such I have already spent several hours agonising over the colour charts at MAC – they have the lushest shades.  I think though that for January I will be focusing on getting my skin into shape and trying to mitigate the effects of central heating, snow-blasting, wind, rain and thermal clothing!  My buy for the month so far is MAC Care Blends essential oils to ‘energize, heal, soothe and calm’.  And let’s face(!) it – who doesn’t need that right now?!
