Recently I read Jack and Jill (Alex Cross #3) written by James Patterson. There is no doubt that this book is well written with well loved characters. I, myself, have a hard time connecting with any of them on a personal level. I find I'm more wrapped up in the whodunnits. These are definitely the type of book I enjoy, however, I like to be able to guess who is the bad guy. Sometimes I feel like they're throwing so many characters and details at you at once that you don't have a prayer of sorting them out, which was the case for me in this book. They were fairly blunt about Jill but there were many questions about her that I wanted answered that weren't. Why she felt the way she did, etc. I really felt that we could have benefitted from more of a backstory on Jack and Jill. There was a lot going on in this particular book, but I still enjoyed reading it. I'm definitely going to continue with this series.

I've been using the Maybelline Better Skin powder in the color "Classic Ivory" for almost a week. The first thing I noticed was that it looks WAY darker on the sponge, but don't let that deter you, it'll be okay. The color worked out very well. Coverage! It covers much better than any powder I've ever used. It covers as well as liquid and the finish isn't cakey or weird looking at all. Staying power: I found that it does wear off of my nose after a few hours and does need touching up, but DOES stay well on my cheeks. It works well with all of my powder products on, without wiping the product off. Another downfall: I suddenly am having horrendous breakouts! In places I've never had breakouts. I suppose it COULD be a coincidence, but I'm tempted to think that I'm having trouble with the product itself. I'm going to give my skin a break and try again before I make up my mind completely.  I might try wearing it not every single day, maybe every
