Winter and I go together like oil and water, we just don’t mesh well.

I get the super sads when cold weather approaches and all I do is long for spring. Not only do the winter months make me depressed but it also does the unthinkable; it turns my sexy, dark tan into a pale and sickly hue of blah.

Enter Murad Bronzing Boost with SPF 15 ($38), an oil free bronzing formula that instantly brightens and darkens (and oxymoron I know :-) ) your skin into sun goddess status. You might not have control of the seasons but you can still have your bronze-y sun kissed skin.

Absolute Bronzing Boost boasts that it can be layered so you can control how sun-kissed you want your face to be. When I first wore this product I swear I got a few head turns at work and I must say myself the glowy dew Bronzing Boost creates on my face suits me better than pasty pale skin.

I applied it with my fingers and it blends incredibly well.  For you beauties who are already nostalgic for warmer weather don’t fret because this bottle of bronzer will help you hold on to summer skin all year long. Absolute Bronzing Boost is available at Sephora or murad.com.

The first time I used Sonia Kashuk’s Large Powder Brush was at Ugochi’s house while getting ready for an event and it’s been on my wish list ever since.

I finally came around to purchasing it the other day and I was glad I did because I was lacking a proper powder brush. Quality brushes can make all the difference with makeup application and this one never seems to fail.

This large powder brush is super soft, picks up product perfectly and applies powder to you face with ease. The sleek and ergonomic design fits your hand which also helps with application.

This brush looks professional and stands up to any other pro brushes you may have in your collection. The price isn’t bad either ($19.99) considering other companies sell makeup brushes that retail for way more.

Sonia Kashuk products are sold at one of my favorite stores, Target! While you’re there check out other products from her line — I know I will.

 

What’s your fave Sonia Kashuk product?

When I think of Juicy Couture I think of all things girly, cute, pink and of course who can forget their signature velour track suits.

One of my favorite fragrances of all time has got to be “Viva la Juicy” and now my fav Juicy scent has been reincarnated into little roller balls along with three other yummy fragrances; “Peace Love & Juicy Couture,” “Couture Couture,” and “Juicy Couture.”

The roller balls ($19) come in 0.25 oz perfectly cute bottles which I love not only because I can have all of Juicy’s signature scents for a great price but, unlike other perfume bottles, I can carry them around in my purse…

Ugochi, Uzoma and I were invited to Burt’s Bees holiday launch event a few weeks ago.

During our intimate tour with one of their representatives, I got to thinking about all of their products and how they are completely natural, so much so that they don’t even need masks and cover ups in their testing labs.

If natural products exist and work just as well as (if not better than) other products with chemicals, why aren’t more companies jumping on the au natural bandwagon?

Recently I’ve been a bit more conscious of what I put in and on my body. This is surely thanks to close friends and family including my brother who is very mindful of what he eats and uses on his skin and Ugochi who is a health nut that is slowly but surely rubbing off on me. :-)

Yellow diamonds seem to be all the rage this season with Rihanna singing about yellow diamonds in the sky (I wouldn’t mind having a yellow diamond on my finger!!!) and more importantly the Versace launch of their new fragrance, Yellow Diamond.

Not long ago, Versace invited us to the launch of their new fragrance Yellow Diamond at the Versace Boutique on 5th Ave. I was more than excited to be present in an exclusive area that Victoria Beckham and Donatella Versace herself frequent. How cool is that?!

Washing my face at night always seems like such a daunting task, but to preserve my pretty it’s something that cannot be skipped.

My boyfriend used to make fun of my “getting ready for bed” routine which usually takes ten minutes — if I’m lucky. By the time I’m done with my beauty before bed, he’s fast asleep in LaLa Land…

The first time I was introduced to Nail Tek I was in high school working at Harmons Beauty Discount store.I would use Nail Tek II Intensive Therapy for my soft and peeling nails and it actually helped my nails grow.

I was pleasantly surprised when my mom introduced me to the Nail Tek Patented Crystal Nail File ($19.95) since I had no idea they made other products. I’d previously purchased a cheaper version of this file and it pretty much wore out with regular use. I guess you get what you pay for…

Back in my day I remember the hair products I used most were Let’s Jam gel, Crème of Nature shampoo, John Frieda Frizz Ease, Dudley Cream Press and Coconut Oil for moisturizing. I’m sure there were loads of other products but that’s what I can recall.

When I was given a chance to try out Moroccanoil ($41.00) I was so excited because I’ve heard nothing but good reviews.

Well…have you ever tried a product and felt not quite sure if it’s working or not? That was the initial impression I got from Moroccanoil. It is true that this product absorbs quickly into hair and leaves no reside like the label states but I couldn’t tell a difference in the state of my hair after applying this oil.

I think there are two reasons for this; number one, I was used to the hair oils from my day, the greasy, thick oils that attract every dirt particle within radius of my head but at least produces shine. Number two my hair is very thick. When I think of oil I think that it is supposed to make my hair radiate and look healthy and moisturized. I had to take a step back and realize that this is not my “oil” from when I was in high school, this is one of the “new generation” oil treatments that perform in a different way.

Once I stepped outside of that box of what I thought hair oil is supposed to be, I was able notice the way Moroccanoil performs. I’ve tried this product on wet and dry hair and I did notice a huge difference when I forgot to use this product before blow drying.

Trial and error lead me to realize that Moroccan Oil helps my hair blow dry faster and makes it easier to blow dry with less drag from the…

Nail art is so intriguing to me these days!

I love trying to recreate looks I find on YouTube.

There are so many talented people that love to share their work, which I really appreciate!

Last night, I came across a beautiful Cherry Blossom themed nail that seemed easy enough for me to create. I basically followed the tutorial step by step but added a few extra touches (pink glitter and rhinestones, anyone?)

Here’s the video tutorial…

Many of us put so much emphasis on beauty via makeup and hair but sometimes overlook the condition of our skin.

Skin not only looks badly when it’s dry but it feels awful too. Who wants to cuddle up with someone whose skin looks like concrete dust?! Not me!

Without moisture, skin looks dull and wrinkly. Colder weather equals drier skin so it’s imperative to counteract the elements with a great moisturizer. For me, using lotion after showering is something I do all year round so I’ve tried every moisturizer under the sun…
