Not only is this is pretty lipgloss (I use Spotlight), it has the great taste of bubble gum, comes with it's own mini-mirror on the side, but this baby sports a bright, white light. A light beam, if you will, to help you see where you are putting your gloss on. Too cool!

I think I have discovered the best, the ultimate, the most wonderful high lighter I have ever, ever used. Can you just feel my enthusiasm? And I thought that most mosaic products were created equal - NOT! This Multi-pHase Highlighter from Erno Laszlo contains just five different shade. Somehow, though, these shades blend perfectly on a powder brush through the specific arrangement in the palette. I cannot tell you how much I love this. I have been sweeping this lightly all over my face right after foundation, and then again on top of my bronzer when I am finished up. If I am doing a really quick makeup, I can sweep this over my cheeks, eyelids, put on some mascara, gloss, and be good to go.

Elizabeth Arden Intervene Makeup Broad Spectrum Suncreen SPF 15
Amazing - especially for my "aging" skin!
Elizabeth Arden’s Intervene Liquid Foundation is formulated with the power of Biodorminý technology. This breakthrough technology is used to help put a pause on aging signs. Along with the exclusive micro-mineral pigment technology, the colors are matched easily (and pretty perfectly) to most skin tones, which helps to even the skin tone while brightening and firming it as well. The SPF of 15 adds in the much needed protection we need from the sun as it protects us from premature aging. This has everything that I want in a foundation, so much so, that you would think it was made just for me. moothing Intervene on with a makeup sponge, I was able to quickly disguise the imperfections, while making my skin more even overall and luminous - something much needed at my ripe young age of 40 (ha!). The shade that matches my fair skin tone is Soft Sunbeige. I originally thought that Soft Shell was for me, but it was a little too pink for my already pink skin tone. I have found Soft Sunbeige to be perfect. Besides all of the great benefits of this makeup, I really like it for the way that it feels very moisturizing on my skin, and how it lasts through out the day with no powder - which is pretty rare for me.

From the NARS Spring Collection Shanghai Lily, the highlight of the collection is definitely the eyeshadow duo in Alhambra. On the left is a beautiful golden champagne shade, while on the right is the most gorgeous metallic rose shade. Both shades are a bit shimmery, with the pink shade shimmering a little bit more. I like using both shades together with the gold shade used all over my eye, and then the pink dabbed right under my brow in the center, and then swept across my lid. I make it a bit darker as I extend it outward, concentrating the darkest power at the outer part of my lid and up into the crease. The end result is pale, soft and shimmery eye - a much needed change from the heavy and darker browns and grays I have been wearing of late. Beautiful!

This haircare pair is definitely a pick me up first thing in the morning. The peppermint scent is quite invigorating, not only to my senses, but to my scalp as well. I was worried about the scent of rosemary as it is not my favorite, but there is not even a hint of the scent in either the shampoo or conditioner. The rosemary is simply added to the formula to help protect hair from the environment. I will admit that I wish the conditioner was a bit more moisturizing as I tend to like thick and heavy conditioners (that do not weigh my hair down, of course). But this conditioner did the job of keeping my hair smooth through the day, so in the end, the job was done.

After a week in the rain, wind, snow, and bitter cold; my itchy, overly dry and sensitive skin needed help. I grabbed this jar of Cloud Cream hoping that my skin would get some sort of relief. Upon opening and taking in the beautiful light and fresh scent, and then feeing how cushiony the cream felt in the jar, I was so excited to scoop right in and I slathered a pretty generous amount all over my face and neck. My skin immediately felt satisfied. It felt quenched and looked brighter - just as I smoothed it on. After a full day of makeup, my skin still felt great, but I still could not wait to remove the makeup and apply more of this cream. It really felt that good. I used Skyn Iceland's Pure Cloud Cream for three mornings and nights, to only start to use something else, as I have to often switch my moisturizers up to bring on all the reviews. This is when I noticed that my skin did not feel as nice as it previously did, and I know it was craving the relief I got when I used the Cloud Cream. If your skin is at all stressed from the elements or sensitive after a cosmetic treatment or procedure, you must give Cloud Cream a try. I do not know what exactly does the trick - whether it is the aloe and oat extracts or the peptides that help skin immediately feel so good. Like I said, it is a dream, and however it works, it's wonders is more than enough for me.

Publicity Stunt Lashes is a gentle, lightweight, long-wearing mascara made to be waterproof, flake-proof, smudge-proof - and really budge-proof. This mascara lasts and lasts all through the day. I find this mascara to be very similar to Prescriptives Here to Stay. The real difference is in the brush. The brush is taped in the middle with the shortest bristles there, so application is designed to help curl the lashes, especially in the inner and outer corners, while just coloring in the center of the lashes. The handle is actually a similar shaped comb that you can use to separate lashes after application, if need be. I have not used the comb, as I found the mascara to glide on and coat my lashes in just a few strokes.

I truly believe that this lip balm is named "My Favorite" for a reason. The smell is delicious, and the formula very emoillient. This is the last thing to touch my lips at night, and I awake with soft and smooth lips every morning with it's help. When I feel that I need a little extra relief from dryness during the day, I will dab it over my lipstick and get a glossy glow from it too. I don't think I have been into Bath and Body Works without picking up another (or extra) tube.

I have been using Tarte's Lights, Camera, Lashes! Mascara with it's faux leather croc case since it was introduced a few years ago. I think I even tried it before it went on the market! This mascara is a staple in makeup bag and used more then a few times a week. Lights, Camera, Lashes! lengthens, curls, and thickens lashes while it conditions them with natural olive esters. The brush is a mix of very short and long bristles, making application a breeze while lashes are coated and clump-free in easy swoop.
