I recently tested Vinoperfect radiance revealing mask by Caudalie and loved the instant results. My pores were minimized, my skin looked firmer and radiant. It’s a 2-in-1 mask that doubles as an exfoliator and radiance mask that leaves your skin hydrated and luminous.
Caudalie skincare products are made with the grape-seed OPC Molecule which is 10,000 times more powerful than Vitamin E in fighting free radicals. Caudalie offers 35 different skincare and bodycare products for all skin types.
The deep hydration from Caudalie skincare is perfect for the thirstiest of skin – offering protection against harsh weather and leaving the skin soft and supple.
Vinoperfect radiance revealing mask is easy to use – apply by avoiding the delicate eye area, hairline and eyebrows – leave on for 10 minutes for optimal results.
I’ve had such great hair days since my hair stylist and hair colorist gave me proper direction in the art of Blow drying. Yes, ladies blow drying is an art form and I am living proof that it can be achieved in the privacy of your own home.
Now that I have the proper cut, color and brush the hair styling products I started using are working!
I’m in love with the Royal Blowout by Oribe, my hair is shiny and full of life! Afterwards my hair resembles a perfect in-salon blow dry.
*The weightless serum mist gives a glossy, patent-like shine for a flawless finish*.
My hair was smooth, hydrated, protected and drying time was cut in half! My hair texture the next day was so thick and luxurious I was tempted to use my dry hair shampoo!
The adage that less is more is true – this holiday Kate Middleton not only captured the heart of a prince, but the hearts of makeup junkies everywhere, including mine.
During the Royal couple’s photo shoot with Mario Testino, the soon to be Princess of Wales applied her own makeup.
I couldn’t stop gushing over the pictures, I loved her makeup and came up with a quick makeup guide to help us all achieve a pretty makeup application for the princess in all of us.
This guide also substitutes as a 10 minute makeup routine – providing you’re starting with clear and healthy skin.
1.) Moisturize with an SPF and don’t forget the eye cream – I recommend Vinoperfect by Caudalie and Colbert MD Nourishing eye cream.
2.) Start the makeup application with an illuminating base – Chanel Illuminating Makeup Base is silky and leaves the skin luminous and dewy $42
8.) My favorite mascara is Yves Saint Laurent Volume Effect Faux Cils – it’s my favorite! $30
9.) Lip Gloss/ Lipstick – I love Lip Fixation by jane iredale – in Devotion or Fascination but if you’re feeling bolder try Rapture – it lasts all day until you take it off! $25
Kate skipped the mascara, used a touch of lip gloss and looked stunning – for those of you that wish to skip mascara I recommend Talika Lipocils – because it promotes hair growth and enhances your lashes overnight!
After testing eye makeup for days at a time and eye allergies my eyes need some tender love and care. I’m too lazy to cut cucumbers, and sometimes can’t make it over to the bathroom sink – I’m either too busy blogging or watching General Hospital ( Brenda’s back).
I became intrigued with the idea of Talika’s heated eye lash curler. I was sceptical at first, believing that if I didn’t follow directions I would surely burn my lashes. Not a chance, the controlled temperature made this beauty device easy to achieve gorgeous more dense lashes.
I’m in love with this amazing beauty tool, it’s safe, gently and effective. I couldn’t stop starring at my lashes.
Sometimes no matter how effective mascara or lash enhancing products are you can’t quite achieve the lashes of your dreams. I can honestly say that Talika’s Heated Eye lash curler was the icing on the cake.
All these months of testing so many amazing eyelash enhancing products prepared me for this moment, this heated eye lash curler was the missing piece to the puzzle.
Intensify your lashes with Talika for more dense and lush lashes.
My sister Wendy is a tinted lip balm junkie, from drug store to department store she owns them all.
She recently gave me Medieval by Poppy King – a gorgeous sheer cherry red that is infused with Vitamin E and other healthy ingredients.
Poppy King is known as the Lipstick Queen, and is well-known for her signature Red Lips.
Researching for this beauty post I discovered that during Medieval times women stained their lips with Lemon, this created a bee stung effect, giving the appearance of gorgeous naturally swollen RED Lips.
I use this tinted lip balm alone or over my favorite Red Lipstick – I love the extra hydration and gorgeous color.
Everyone who knows me knows I’m obsessed with Red Lipstick – especially a Red so gorgeous it reminds me of taking a vacation.
My recent travels have yet to take me to Rio – this Holiday Season I can dream of a warm tropical climate with Rio Rio by Topshop Cosmetics.
I loved the silky texture, the lipstick was hydrating and moisturizing. My lips stayed soft and kissable all afternoon, and I didn’t have to reapply after morning coffee.
A gorgeous Satin Matte lipstick that leaves your lips hydrated and nourished throughout the day – available in 6 luscious shades.
In a former life Dr. David Colbert was a dermatological research consultant for Chanel Skincare, now he’s known as the dermatologist to the Stars, with countless featured editorials in magazines such as Vogue, Allure, Self, Bazaar, Elle and Glamour – the list could go on and on.
Dr. Colbert is the founder and head physician of The New York Dermatology Group, and one of the most selfless doctors in the world, lending his expertise, name and talent to many of the worlds most charitable organizations, the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation to name one.
I had the opportunity to learn of Dr. Colberts Skincare collection: Daily Nutrition for the Skin and after testing the nourishing Eye Cream, I saw visible results after my first application. My eyes immediately had a more youthful appearance, they looked softer and brighter.
The Nourish Eye Cream provides the skin with long-term collagen production, re-hydrates the skin around the delicate eye area and lightens dark circles while reducing puffiness. The Daily Nutrition Skincare Collection by Dr. Colbert delivers immediate radiance to the skin, fights against inflammation and reverses the signs of premature aging.

I’m like most women, I tend to experience acne during that time of the month. I mask and cleanse and still it’s not enough to prevent the acne breakouts around my jaw line and chin.
I’m vain and now that I write a beauty blog am under pressure to have great skin. What products do I use? I incorporate Dr. Brandt into my skincare routine.
Recently I’ve been using New blemishes no more cleansing pads by Dr. Brandt and they have made a huge difference in my acne prevention!
The cleansing pads are not harsh or abrasive, and they leave my skin clean! I admit I’m lazy and don’t always use toner – the cleansing pads are formulated with Dr. Brandt’s technologically advanced blemish fighting complex – Active Impurity Shield. The pads absorbed and regulated my excess sebum, without drying out my skin!
I experienced a reduction in acne breakouts – and my skin was left clean, clear and PH Balanced. Dr. Brandt for healthy skin, isn’t it time you brought the Doctor home with you?
New Pores no more cleansing pads by Dr. Brandt gets a TEN!
I love this Blushable Creme Stick by New York Color. The color melted into my skin, it was easy to blend and the color was soft and gorgeous.
It’s oil-free and drys to a silky powder while nourishing the skin with Vitamins. I loved the long-wearing wearable coverage that gave me that soft radiant glow all day.
I tested Plaza Pink – a gorgeous luminous pink that I used as a highlighter under my eye area.
The price point is amazing and makes this beauty product a Beauty Steal at $3.99
