I hope you enjoy this blog and please post a comment below and tell me what is your favorite lipstick. I would really love to know!

My current loves!

Hi Everyone,

I have been away for a little while but now I am back and I want to share with you some of the items I love and that I have been using every day.
Here they are:

Hempz Pomegranate Herbal Body Moisturizer

After watching one of the you tube gurus talk abut this lotion I decided to give it a try. I was going to get it online but one day when I was shopping I went to ULT A and there it was. Yaaay!-) I was so excited. This cream is so luxurious. I am obsessed with it. It is a bit pricey for a body lotion but it is so worth it($17) . It smells amazing. I am not a fan of the Pomegranate scent because its always so heavy to me but this one its not , smells like a dream. I also like the fact that it is made with pure herbal extracts. I highly recommend this!

Lancome Teint miracle Foundation SPF 15 in Buff 4 (C)

This is a great foundation for summer.It is a light reflecting formula and I find it to be a light to medium coverage. I find it so easy to apply with my Sigma flat top brush and it looks like you don't have anything on when you are done! I really like using this because it makes you look so dewy and youthful. I got mine at Macy's in the color Buff 4 (C) for about $37. Its a perfect match for my fair skin. The bottle is glass and it has a pump which is great. Very nice packaging and excellent quality. I never bought anything from Lancome before but this looked like it was worth trying and I am glad I did!

CHANEL ROUGE COCO SHINE LIPSTICKS IN COLORS BOY AND CANOTIER

CANOTIER

BOY

ROUGE COCO SHINE makes an irresistible desire for lightness flit over your makeup. With its mischievous touch, it glides over lips with all the charm and freshness of a snapshot.

As melt-away as a balm, its lip-embracing texture becomes fluid on contact with the lips and provides a stunning wet effect with natural shine. Deliciously fresh and tender, it delivers an unforgettable sensation of well-being.

Lips are enveloped in the incomparable comfort of continuous 8-hour-long hydration thanks to the Hydratender complex, the secret of softness of the ROUGE COCO range.

Sparkling with vitality, your smile takes on sheer color, from candid beige to tangy red.
ROUGE COCO SHINE comes in 18 shades infused with luminosity so that your smile adapts to every emotion and desire of each day. Its about $32 at Macy's.
I think their description said it all.-:) I LOVE THESE!

That's all for now Beautiful!

My New Perfume Love!

Hi,
I just got this perfume and I think it absolutely AMAZING! I am a big fan of the floral-oriental fragrances. I like a little bit of spice in a perfume. The opinions are diverse on it out there but I guess it depends on how it will set on you. I personally adore it. When you first spay it, it will seem strong, but after a little while you can't stop smelling it-:) I am absolutely obsessed with this scent. It works super well with my chemistry.

Yves Saint Laurent!


Become the source of addiction. Grace and beauty pair with an uncompromising personality to reveal an angelic, yet dangerously seductive, Yves Saint Laurent woman. A mysterious woman, a powerful and unsettling seductress who is at once ingenuous and dangerous. A true olfactory manifesto, this mysterious and luminous floral-oriental fragrance is built around an accord of nargileh, a sensual and vaporous scent inspired by oriental water pipes. Notes:Peach, White Pepper, Casablanca Lily, Jasmine Absolute, Incense, Resins, Sandalwood.
What is your favorite perfume right now? I would love to know!

The Top 10 Ways to Stay Stylish and Look Great at 98

Hi,
One my favorite blogger posted this. I thought it was so interesting. WOW TAKE A LOOK! What do you think? At 98, she has more vitality and spirit than most people half her age. Check below for some of her cherished fashion secrets.

Here are Rose's top ten beauty and lifestyle secrets on how to look and feel great at 98:

1. Find your perfect perfume; people will remember you by your scent. Rose is known for her Pauline Trigere fragrance. She tells her granddaughter, "I'll give you anything in the world, but I won't give you my perfume."

2. Belts and Beads. Rose believes that a belt or unique strand of beads can really make an outfit, and they don't have to cost a fortune.

3. Take care of your feet and wear good shoes, but when you are going out for a night on the town, "Fashion comes before comfort." At 98, Rose goes out every single night!

4. "Walking is a must, it's better than doctors or medicine."

5. No need to use expensive moisturizers; Rose swears by Oil of Olay, which she has been using for decades.

6. "Inexpensive lipstick is as good as expensive, only better!" Rose has tried every brand from Chanel to Lauder and has recently been turned on to Revlon.

7. Be Unique: "If Everyone is wearing it, then its not for me."

8. "Be smart enough to know what you don't know."

9. If you have trouble reading the dinner menu, lorgnettes are a fashionable and elegant alternative to reading glasses.

10. "Be happy, enjoy what you have at every moment!"

Makeup of the day!

Hi,
I thought I would post a picture of what I am wearing today. So here it is:

My New Loves...

Hello,

I recently purchased a few products from brands that I didn't really used before but I discovered them now and I love them.

Clarins 'Joli Rouge' Lipstick

In the color Baby Rose(712).




Joli Rouge offers an innovative and incredibly creamy, smooth and melting texture with a wonderful sensorial feel on application. The intense color is enhanced by its shine, to give a really vibrant make-up result. It also cares for lips, providing them with extreme comfort. Finally, Joli Rouge is a delicious treat for lips thanks to its fruity fragrance/flavor. mmmmm like this allot....super moisturizing , luxurious.

Clarins 'Eclat Minute' Natural Lip Perfector

A melting gel with a deliciously sweet flavor and 3D shimmer for luscious, smooth, shiny lips and a natural-colored, luminous smile. It nourishes, repairs and protects lips to leave them incredibly beautiful. Day by day they are more kissable, simply irresistible. Its not sticky and I have been wearing this every day now.

Clarins 'Shine Stopper' Powder Compact

This ultimate shine-control powder compact offers an immediate and long-lasting matte complexion. Minimizes imperfections while keeping skin soft and hydrated throughout the day. It has almoust like a creamy texture and it gives you that perfect mat look.

CHANEL MAT LUMIÈRE LONG LASTING SOFT MAKEUP SPF 15

A long lasting foundation that is truly flawless! This make up will cover very good your imperfections! Looks natural too! Some foundations turn orange on my skin, but not this one!
CHANEL modernizes matte with a lightweight formula that delivers a soft, natural look with maximum staying power. Medium coverage looks impeccable and shine-free for up to 12 hours. Your face girls will look flawless. This is for oilier skin types. They have different ones for dry or anti aging. I am obsessed with this one. It is worth every cent. I have it in the color Clair 1.0

That's all for now... -:)
