Happy Monday
This week’s manicure features one of my FAVORITE nail shades.
Oddly enough, I have a thing for sheer, pale, but not-quite-clear shades. They get me every time!
Soo. . .

Remember when I shared my Top 5 Fragrances?
Well, they’ve changed (of course) but I thought it would be fun to share which 5 lippies have tickled my fancy lately. . .

We Love Birchbox!

 Hi Beauty Pies!
We are officially obsessed with Birchbox.
What is Birchbox, you ask? Well, the first phrase that comes to mind is “Sephora In A Box.” And, those of us who are bonkers for beauty know that just about anything Sephora-related is our friend. Our very good friend…

 Ahh, body lotion. How I love thee. Let me count the ways…
You make my skin so smooth and soft.
You leave a lasting, pretty scent.
You…
Oh, right. Getting carried away! Onto the review…

***Be a doll and enter our latest giveaway – Ends 7/6***
In case you’ve forgotten, I’m a mascara nut.
I just love the way it opens up the eye and brings my lashes to life. I’ve definitely tried many, many mascaras, but Givenchy Phenomen’ Eyes ($30) is in a class by itself. If you are looking for lash drama, you pretty much need this mascara.
The pièce de résistance is the patented spherical wand, which – I admit—resembles a medieval weapon of sorts. It took a couple tries for me to get the hang of it, but once I did, I was unstoppable! The wand is quite helpful for getting into the nooks, crannies and corners of every eye shape.
No smudgies, no flakies, just length, volume, separation and – of course – drama! Genius.
Stay Beautiful

Beauties, all the rumors you’ve heard are true.
The Clarisonic Skin Care System ($195) is the best thing since sliced bread for taking care of that beautiful skin of yours.
This lovely little skin care brush is essentially a high-powered brush designed for cleansing the skin. It’s made by the same folks behind the Sonicare toothbrush and uses that same magical technology to produce 300+ brush rotations per minute.
The Clarisonic is gentle enough for sensitive skin and even helps the skin absorb products better. In fact, in the long run you will end up having to use less product because it will absorb in the skin much better. Also, countless dermatologists recommend it and use it in their practice…

 If this isn’t a cult favorite, I don’t know what is!
Any beauty blogger worth her (or his!) salt either owns or has heard of this Primer Potion!
Oh, where do I begin?

 What a fantastic product!
Neutrogena’s Fresh Cooling Body Mist Sunblock is where it’s at!
Not only does it protect your skin from that big star in the sky, it’s waterproof, non-greasy and cooling. Just spray this stuff all over your body at least 15 minutes before sun exposure, reapply at the requisite times (every 2 hours, after swimming, extended sun exposure, excessive sweating, etc.) and you’re good to go…

 Once I saw the green in this eye shadow duo, I had to have it!
I didn’t buy it right away, but I went and visited and played with it in Sephora enough to know that it was only a matter of time before we would be together forever!
NARS really did an excellent job with this one…
