dior_lipliner_spicy_pink_feature

You know a product is good when you purchase it more than once.  This versatile terracotta rosy-pink retractable lip liner is amongst my favorites – it goes with most of my rosy pinks, beiges and other neutrals.  What can I say…this is a workhorse product!   Dior Rouge Automatic Lip Liner, Spicy Pink (#676)   [...]

If this new Dior nail polish (from the Croisette Summer 2012 Collection) in Bikini doesn’t have you jazzed for summer well, I don’t know what will!  I wore this polish the other day and love everything about the warm peach/coral shade….you just might like it too.   Bikini swatched.  Left nail is one coat and [...]

For the past couple of months I’ve been having a not so pleasant time with technical issues on this blog.  Without getting into all the details (which you do not need to be bored with), let’s just say that once I realized the cause of my troubles I very quickly came to a decision about [...]

This week, I’ve kept my eye makeup on the neutral side.  I didn’t feel it was appropriate to sit in a courtroom sporting neon shadows or brights – no need to create any unnecessary distraction!  Each morning, I’ve been reaching for something with kick, a little sex appeal (you can rid me of my color [...]

During summer months, I prefer light fabrics and light feeling makeup.  That’s why I prefer to wear glossy finish lipsticks versus a heavier finish like that of a matte.  But when I heard Chanel had a new online exclusive (limited edition) Rouge Allure Velvet lipstick I immediately placed my order!   Unlike many matte lipsticks [...]

Dior-Summer-Mix-1

I just got off the phone a few moments ago with the lovely boutique manager of Dior Beauty in Las Vegas*.  She informed me the bright, colorful and overall fun collection of polish and glosses called Dior Summer Mix, are due to launch sometime in June (approximately the 20th).   As you probably know, I [...]

  I’ve spent the greater part of this week listening…  From 8:30-4:00 I sit quietly observing, taking in information and doing my utmost best not to think about the lineup of beauty products I have waiting for me at home to test, photograph and review.  It’s tough because I’ve got some wonderful pretties to share [...]

chanel_summer2012_bronzer_sablerose

I’ve tried lots of bronzers.  Loads in fact!  But this year, none have warmed me up quite like the Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronzing Powder in Sable Rose.   Chanel’s summer 2012 offering is small – compared to that of other brands – and while as a whole the collection didn’t cause me to see [...]

I’m not one of those people that go on food binges very often but this weekend I ran a muck!  After having had way too much sugar, I’m ready to detox and get back on track eating healthfully, juicing and working out.  As much as I like to change things up – in food, makeup [...]

This afternoon, I was poking around a few of my favorite fashion websites – one of my preferred ways to shop for new looks - searching for inspiration to breathe new life into my summer wardrobe when I spied these Sam Edelman shoes (they’re called Taryn).  From the sculpted flare, block heel to the gold and [...]
