Next to shopping for makeup, I love handbags and jewelry.  So when I was given the opportunity to try out the Route 63 Snap Tote bag from the new Land's End Canvas Collection, I jumped at the chance.  I'm always on the hunt for a great tote bag and with an upcoming vacation, I knew it would be a great opportunity to give this bag a real-world test run.  This is a bag that could easily be used as a daily tote to carry to the office or wear casually on the weekends while you're running errands or going to the beach.

Are you a multi-tasker?  If you are, you need to check out new stila one step makeup; a four-in-1 product that is a primer, foundation, concealer and powder.  Do I love it? Let me count the ways!

Would it be heavy or gunky?  Not at all.  It's a luxurious makeup that provides long wearing coverage in an easy-to-use, weightless formula.
