Where was this gorgeous color on my Trip to Rome this past January? I looked at my vacation pictures and realized I should have worn Red throughout my Roman Holiday.
Roman Red by Christi Harris evokes fond memories of my walk through the Via Condotti – of my journey through the VillaBorghese. It would have been proper during my visit to Pauline Bonaparte’s statue of Juno.
I threw my coin into the Trevi Fountain knowing I’ll definitely be wearing Roman Red by Christi Harris on my next visit to Rome.
Christi Harrislipsticks are available in 19 gorgeous shades, formulated with anti-aging color properties, giving a youthful appearanceto all skin tones.
This little magic wand preformed a miracle. It instantly camouflaged my dark circles and it didn’t settle into my tiny laugh lines.
I love the soft and natural finish, the instant softening effect enhanced my non-surgical eye lift giving me a more youthful appearance.
The area around my eyes was immediately brightened, I looked fresh, youthful and awake. This is the best under eye concealer I’ve ever tried. I love it!

I loved the sheer texture of this lip tint, it enhanced my natural lip color while giving me a polished look. Sumbody cosmetics are made with natural, organic ingredients. If it’s not natural it’s not on the menu.
Sumbody is Free of synthetic chemicals and preservatives.
I tested mineral blush in Be Mine and loved the sheer water-color texture, I had that natural no-makeup makeup look.
Perfect makeup for that Maui Vacation or if you’re trying to fly under the radar.
Dr. Burns, My dermatologist recommended that I use a facial cleanser with glycolic acid. I’ve been using Jan Marini’s Bioglycolic Cleanser and it’s great for acne prone skin.
It effectively removed dirt and excess oils from the skin, rinsing completely off without the assistance of a post-cleanse or an astringent. My skin was left smooth and hydrated.
Another feature asset is that Bioglycolic Cleanser also aids in skin resurfacing, one of my mayor concerns. It’s soap free, non-irritating, and it’s for all skin types.
I love the affordable price points, and the gorgeous colors. Playing with color has never been this much fun. And at these prices, if you pick the wrong color you won’t break the bank.
I recently tested Plumping Lip Glaze by E.L.F Cosmetics in Baby Doll. It’s a safe and gently formula that instantly stimulates your lips for a more natural and fuller pout.
I love the tinted glaze, just the right amount of color. My lips were an iridescent shade of luxurious shimmer.

I’m going to be honest, I hate shaving my legs! The experience is grueling and sometimes painful. Recently I had the opportunity to test a few products from Whish and I found myself looking forward to shaving.
The packaging was adorable, pink and black lacquered boxes, but it was the aroma that sent me into heaven, it reminded me of dessert. After this afternoons workout I decided it was time to shave my legs, again.
I eagerly applied Shave Crave all over my legs and literally had the best shave of my life. I’ve tried countless shaving creams and lotions, even went as far as to use old hair conditioner. But nothing compared to Shave Crave.
My legs were smooth and silky soft, softer then usual. Shaving now isn’t going to seem like such a chore, because it was a clean and smooth shave, and the fragrance was intoxicating.
Whish body careproducts were created by Jesse and Sam Werner, we have Jesse’s wife to thank, she mentioned to her adoring husband that she whished she had a shaving cream like his and he complied and created these amazing beauty products.
Whish productsare Paraben Free, Sulfate Free, Tea& DEA Free and Petrochchemical Free and are all natural. In addition Whish uses organic ingredients whenever possible.
Whish Body Products, for the shave you’ve been craving!
I’ve become obsessed with Lip Glazes, Stains and Tints. I love discovering new ways to wear Red.
If you’ve been avoiding wearing red because the texture of Red Lipstick is usually to thick or heavy, there are modern formulations of Red.
Flamenco by Jose Maran is a gorgeous Red that lasted throughout the day, including meal time. The color does fade as the day progresses, but I never had to reapply.
I discovered E.L.F Cosmetics, they make a selection of Glazes,Glosses and Tints. The prices are affordable, I went crazy and picked out all the colors I thought I would wear. You can’t go wrong with $1 dollar price points. I loved the amazing sheer texture. I’m not used to wearing glosses, and this is a painless way to test the waters without investing a mini fortune in cosmetics.
Vixen Hypershine Gloss by E.L.F Cosmetics and Red 556 by N.Y.C Color
Another great product is N.Y.CColor Liquid Lip Shine. Not only is the smell intoxicating, reminds me of Dolly Madison cakes, but the color can be deepened to create a deeper or lighter Red.
These shades are a few of the many options that are now available. The important thing is to keep an open mind and play with color. I’m wearing colors and textures I never thought I could wear.
Sheer Reds are amazing for a paired down, but sophisticated look this summer.
Red instantly brightens your complexion and makes your teeth look whiter. Get the radiance that only a great Red can give.
I opened the tube to the aroma of lemonade, I had to stop myself from slathering it on. My lips stayed hydrated through out the day and I only needed to reapply after meals.
Lip drink by Jane Iredale is a macadamia nut oil lip balm with added sunscreen and UVB protection. It’s the ultimate companion out on the slopes or in my case Maui.
I learned that petroleum-based lip products are on a continual drying cycle – the more you use them the dryer your lips become. Are your lips thirsty?
I was skeptical at first, having used powder blushes my whole life. My concern was getting too much blush on or not being able to blend it into my skin properly. I managed to make it work and I’m glad I did.
Clarity is Jane Iredale’s NEW color and it’s the perfect shade of pink. I was looking for a pop of color for my cheeks and the added bonus is that you can apply Clarity to your lips!
This amazing Touch Cream Stick Blush is available in 5 beautiful shades,one for every skin tone.
The formula is non-irritating and talc free. One sweep is all it takes for that natural wash of color.
I love discovering New Beauty and Fashion magazines. I recently discovered SHE – it’s a British magazine that’s dedicated to busy women who juggle careers and family life – and who manage to look chic in the process.
I get to learn that beauty and health concerns are the same all over the world, I also get to read about beauty products I never heard of and that’s a huge plus!
Did I mention that I’m also a sucker for anything British?
