Double Mini...double WOW!

Okay, so I was trolling my favorite sites looking for a personal replacement brush set and found this...love Love, LOVE this from Laura Mercier! They are super compact, super easy to travel with, and super easy to use. I love that you get so many brushes for LESS than $100.00! My favorite is her smudge brush, with her flat liner brush coming in a tight second. Go directly to her site, saks, or bergdorf goodmans to grab yours before the holiday robbers, I mean shoppers get theirs!!

Red Red Red!!!

It's that time folks...Holiday time which mean RED lipstick time!

A red lip is a classic staple that will never go out of style. The trick is finding the right one for YOU and wear it with confidence! Keep everything else on the face bare or minimal and rock the red! I have picked a few goodies that I think will be fun for the festivities...one is a creamy true red, one a warmer sheerer red, and one deep, textured and matte! Drum roll........

Kat Von D,

Make Up Forever,

and Nars tops my list of fabulous red carpet worthy reds!

Love these...after brushing your teeth, run your toothbrush over your lips (exfoliate), place a lip primer or even Aquafor, leave on for 5 minutes then blot, run the lip color over your lips using the tube or even your hands...SKIP the liner (circa 1995)...

Be brave, not afraid of a red lip...

Go for it and watch heads turn!

Magical Mini"s

I love the brand Philosophy for many reasons, but mainly because they are a top notch company, delivering a top notch quality product. You know their ingredients are natural and the results you get are super natural (even better)!

Here in our neck of the woods, the weather is swinging from 55 degrees to 80 degrees...our skin doesn't know what to acclimate to...we found the perfect skin care solution...

Magical Mini's by Philosophy

Included is a cleanser, night time repair, daily moisturizer with and without SPF, eye cream, and a micro peel-whahoooooo! Spa Day en su casa for us!

Perfect for this time a year, when the weather can't make up it's mind and your skin is not far behind it...great for all skin types!

On my Santa's Short List!

You better watch out, you better not cry...well, with these... you CAN actually cry!

I love the brand Make Up Forever, love love!

Now, I love a great waterproof eye pencil and these are hands down my ultimate fav!

These Aqua Eyes are creamy and easy to smudge, but once they go on-they don't budge! I think the colors are bold , brilliant, and fabulous...and this gift box comes with 26 pencils, so the hardest thing about this set is deciding which ones you want to use first!

Hurry and write Santa, tell him to put a rush order on this perfect holiday gift set.

Just make sure Mrs. Claus doesn't snag it from the bag before the Mister makes it down the chimney!

Striking Gold...well, sorta!

Okay, I LOVE Smashbox products! You always know you are getting a great quality product and they often have wonderful kits, especially around holiday time. A while back, I was lucky enough to come across an amazing Smashbox palette for my kit. It really has everything you could ever want for color in a kit, and I often don't even reach for other things when I am working ...(especially when I need to work fast)...it has cool colors, warm colors, their jet set liners, brow colors, blushes, bronzer, highlighter, and LIPS!!! My only regret was that by the time I wanted one for my regular personal stash...they were GONE baby gone. Well, it's your lucky day folks...I was searching my favorite lines looking for the latest and greatest and tripped on their newest kit and it is raging FABULOUS! And it's all for $59.00 bucks. It is the best $59.00 dollars you will ever spend, well worth every penny. You have to go on the Smashbox site directly (and they will give you free standard shipping!). The PERFECT holiday gift for all the girls in your life (including the one in the mirror)...snag your up asap, I'm sure they will be gone in a flash!
