Product of the Week!

With 2 young children, 2 dogs, a husband, and a crazy busy business...I am always looking for short cuts! I am just as quilty as the next person when it comes to the end of the day-I am so ready to fall into bed, the last thing I want to do is go through more than 2 steps to take my make up off! I tried these wonderful remover pads, and loved them! They were strong enough to be affective, but gentle enough to not burn my eyes (as many of them do). They were super soft and stayed moist after opening the container. On a side note, never tugg too hard around the eye area, take extra care and be gentle...let the product work itself-no force required! Now go have a good night's rest...quilt free!!

Product of the Week!

While I am known to mix and custom blend products, I am always on the hunt for fool proof lip colors. You know...the ones you get right the first time-from ONE tube? Believe it or not, with all the colors and choices out there, sometimes it is hard to find one that can stand on it's own. I stopped to dabble at the Merceir Counter the other day and fell in love with the Laura Merceir Lip Creme in Cinnamon! It is the loveliest shade of pink, not too bright-not too brown! Great for many skin tones! It is my current favorite! Forget about the cold weather-go flirt with a spring color and warm up!!

Product of the Week!

Mi Amore! With Valentine's Day around the corner...love is in the air! We LOVE these glosses from Philosophy. They smell great, taste great, and will have your lips ready for kissin'. Go to Sephora.com to get yours in time for Valentine's Day. Moooowahhhhh!!

Winter Wonderland!

I didn't forget...I realize last week has come and gone, with no Product of the Week! We were traveling with our family on a much needed vacation. There are certain things that I "know" in life, and where I have admiration and respect for this particular lifestyle...I am NOT a mountain girl. My family and I had a beautiful time in the snow- and we hope to make it an annual tradition. However the good Lord knew what he was doing when he landed me here in my beautiful hometown of Charleston...BEACH included! See you at the next post! XO, Leslie

Unbelievable!

I work in the field of beauty and fashion, and feel like most times I am living in the land of luxury with high end desingers. Now don't get me wrong, this is not a bad thing-however, it is so refreshing when I see a pretty quality piece at an even prettier price. I was surfing the Target web site the other day, and saw that they do in fact sell everything...including a WEDDING line! You can buy everything from dresses, to shoes...veils to headpieces! Really great quality at an amazing price, and with designers like Isaac Mazrahi-you get the best of both worlds!

Product of the Week!

Whahoo! With the weather reaching the low 80's here in my beautiful hometown of Charleston, SC- I am itching to get my hands on spring make up. While some of my favorite lines have new products creeping in, I came to a total deadstop while in the aisle at Ulta the other day! I LOVE this new Burt's Bees Lip Gloss (zesty red being my fav)...it looks hot on and smells absolutely yummy! I am a big fan of their lip products anyway, but this puts the whole line on a new level-who knew Burt's Bees could be sexy? Get them while you can, my friends up north say they have been sold out from Target to Wal-Greens...be nice and pick up one for you and one for a friend (just get the same color so you won't be tempted to keep it!) Ciao!

Product of the Week!

I am always looking for amazing products that multi-task, especially in the winter time. Dry skin, chapped lips, and STATIC-ahh! I need a one stop shop to fix it all. I have used this product for years, from healing a tattoo, to grooming thick eye brows- but everytime the weather takes a turn below 50 degrees, I am reminded of how much I love Aquaphor by Eucerin. I use it on my cuticles, lips, in my hair to tame unruly static, and even on the blisters I got from my new jogging shoes. You can find it almost anywhere...grocery stores, drug stores. This product is not only super but has a super price point. I bought 1 for me, my kit, my daughter's diaper bag, and my son's pre-school bag...we are armed and ready for the winter season (even if it only last for 2 weeks here in Charleston SC)...bring on the cold!

Product of the Week!

Simple, yet stunning! This Bobbi Brown product is a sure fire way to get your glow on! Perfect for the cheeks and lips, this rouge pot leaves a sheer stain like finish. Much easier than biting your lip and pinching your cheeks to get that flushed look...this huge container allows you to use you fingers-NO BRUSHES REQUIRED! My favorite...Chocolate Cherry! YUMMY!

Product of the Week!

The Holidays are a time for giving, and I can't think of any better gift to give any of the ladies on my list! This goodie from Tarte Cosmetics has it ALL...you get the best of both worlds from Fashion Week...one look pulled from the New York shows and one from the Paris shows. You can't go wrong with any of the color options and just when you think it can't get any better, you see they also put 2 fabulous brushes in the compact. My only complaint is that this is part of a limited edition, so you better grab what you can when you can!

Product of the Week!

Along with the Holidays, comes a time of being rushed from one party to another to another and then another. This "product of the week" is my secret weapon and I have one stashed in at least 3 different places! While I have tested many other similar products, this one actually works. Other wannabe wands tend to dry out and have chubbier ends, making corrections less than perfect. Revlon's Make Up Eraser Pen, stays moist and with it's finer tip allows for the perfect touch up- all day...all night. So, here's to hangin' with the holiday madness, may my make up last longer than I do!! Cheers!

Product of the Week!

If you are a girlie who doesn't feel completely dressed without her signature scent, then you have to check out this fragrance! It's sexy, classy, and down right YUMMY. I love the new JUICY perfume. I spend so much time grazing the counters at department stores and often feel that with the hundreds of fragrances out there...there are few that make the grade. Picking a perfume is a very personal choice, but after just one spray of this product-I kept sniffing my own arm all day (and so did my husband-wink wink). Hey Santa...this is definetly on my Holiday Wish List!

Product of the Week!

I love trying new things, but I also turn into a creature of habit when I find something that just works! This Trish McEvoy color Iced Mocha is a cult favorite for good reason. This trio is super pretty...the color hits the nail on the head for the perfect fall/winter shade. Not too much, but just enough. Notice that this one is the Sheer version, they do make a deeper tube for those us us that like a bit more"ummph". The glosses are both goreous on top of the lipstick or used alone. I find these work on all skin tones, making it close to fool proof. Go ahead, hang the mistletoe and PUCKER UP. Have a wonderful Holiday next week, ciao bellas!

Product of the Week!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this product! With a colder, drier season quickly approaching-this product is a winter must have! This eye cream is ideal alone or under make up because it hydrates without migrating into your eye and it doesn't break down your concealer. At times even once I am finished with someone's make up- I will tap just a tiny bit in the lower outer corner (above the cheek bone)...the added hydration is radiant-creating a more youthful appearance-who doesn't want that? Oh...FYI, guys dig this cream as well (hey, they get crow's feet too right?) Can we say Stockin' Stuffer?

Product of the Week!

I LOVE these! I have them in my kit, my car, my gym bag-I have them stashed everywhere. These are perfect Q-tips with remover built right in, so you can touch up on the go. I especially love them to touch up a late night smokey eye. Check out their site www.swabplus.com for additional products like fingernail polish remover, cuticle oil,etc.. I sure wish I had thought of them!

Happy Halloween!

It should be a rule of that everyone must attend at least 1 Costume Party in their life time! After a crazy day of 3 weddings (this past Saturday)...I was able to kick back, have a few, and not take life so seriously. As I looked around and saw 50 or so different "get ups"-I thought to myself, see how much fun it can be when you can slip into becoming someone else, even if it is for only a night! With 2 kids, 2 dogs, a husband, and a crazy busy business-I felt that Wonder Woman was fitting this year (plus I have always had a girl crush on Linda Carter). Have a safe Halloween everyone!

Product of the Week!

I love a good and effective cleanser. Everybody has their own personal taste in what they prefer, but in the end-they want something that will take their make up off without tearing up their skin! My choice is Dove Pro Age cleanser! It is creamy but still lathers, takes all of my make up off (without taking my skin with it!), and at around $4.34-you cannot beat the price. It reminds me of a few higher end cleansers that you would find at the department stores (which I can't name), that have been staples in my bathroom for many years. I loved this product so much, I felt the need to try the entire ProAge line and was pleasantly suprised with how much I liked the whole kit and kaboodle!! See for yourself, but please leave one for me!!

Product of the Week!

As a self proclaimed mascara addict, I have tried every mascara I can get my hands on! I am obsessed with lush lashes and clients who know me well, know they don't have to beg me for dramatic lash, my wand comes out faster than Jesse James on quick draw! Of course, I have my standard favorites from Dior Show to Chanel's Inimitable, to Clinique's High Impact...and frankly any Lancome mascara will do! However, mascara is one product I feel you don't need to spend a small fortune on, you can get a great one for under $10! In my kit you can find, Loreal's Voluminous, Cover Girl's Lash Exact and Volume Exact, and my favorite for the smallest lashes-Maybeline's Lash Discovery! My new fav caught me by surprise...I was skeptical while opening the package...small product, smaller brush (I was used to brush at least 3 times the size)...and I think I even turned up my nose. Already mentally giving it to someone else, I reluctantly tried it and was blown away...(drum roll.........) Revlon 3D Extreme Mascara!! I LOVE this product and it also comes in waterproof! Check it out and see why it made Product of the Week!!

Site Update!

It will be our pleasure as beauty junkies to check it out for you!

Fashionistas for Firemen!

Local Colors Fashion Show...was a huge success! We were surrounded by the best of the best in pulling off this event for a great cause! Local, national, and global designers dripped models in their best 2008 couture, all to help raise money for the families and survivours of the Charleston 9. The crowd was crazy, the food was awesome, the fashion was rockin'...and we made a ton of money to help the greatest city in the world...CHARLESTON, SC!

DEEP Cover Shot

DEEP in the South...we love this magazine! They give a "shout out" to southern women who are making their mark. For this shoot, Marni (photographer), Juliet (up and coming photographer & hair diva) were on board! It was a rainy day, but we got the shot. Rachael is as gorgeous as her designs, be sure to check them out! Stay cool and stay tuned!
