Prada Beauty Eau de Parfum Spray

Sexy, defined.

I fell in love with this fragrance the first time I smelled it. That's how it is when you find "The One". It's sexy yet sophistocated, so I feel that it's apropriate for day and evening. If you like a combination of fresh and musky scents, then I'd highly recommend it!

L'Occitane Shea Butter Ultra Rich Body Cream

Incredible texture

I have to admit, when I first smelled it, I thought it smelled like baby lotion. Not that that's a bad thing, but anyhow...the texture is awesome. Super soft and creamy. A very rich moisturizer for even the driest of skins.

L'Oreal Paris Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Lotion SPF 15 Medium Natural Tan

Not bad for an inexpensive self-tanner

The texture is a bit thick for me, which can make blending it into your skin a little more work. But over all, the color was fine and very inexpensive compared to many on the market.

Origins Pinch Your Cheeks

Best all around cheek-stain for me

After years of stubbornly resisting anything other than powder blush, I finally tried a cheek stain (several actually) and settled on this one as my fav. I like the raspberry one for my fair skin. After smoothing on foundation, I apply just a dot of this stain to the apples of my cheeks and blend up and out. Blend quickly, as cheek stains tend to "grab" if you're not careful. Next, I'll set everything with a light dusting of loose powder. I like the fact that it really looks like a natural flush and that it lasts all day long.

Lancome Effacernes Waterproof Protective Undereye Concealer

My favorite concealer for undereye circles

I have dark undereye circles and found this years ago. I absolutely love it. I is opaque enough to really cover but sets nicely and doesn't smear around or settle into fine lines. I cannot live without this!

C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine / Breath Freshener

It really IS breath freshening

Super minty for sure. I love how tingly and glossy it is. True, it doesn't last a long time as it is more treatment oriented (moisturizing) rather than cosmetically oriented (long-lasting shine). But that's okay, I'm happy to have different kinds of lip glosses for different kinds of moods.

Jaqua Buttercream Frosting Sinfully Rich Body Butter

To die for!

I am a self professed beauty junkie and I rarely buy body creams more than once. I mean, there are alot of fish in the sea- so many body moisturizers, so little time. But this one has inspired my loyalty. If you like food-based scents then you'll love this one. I also am in love with the velvety texture and moisturizing quality. Fab!!!

Benefit moon beam

Natural and pretty

This is a versitile product. It can be worn on bare skin (including on the body), mixed into foundation for a sheerer look, or my favorite- patted lightly on top of the cheekbones over foundation. Voila!Dewy and natural.

Chanel Ombre D'Eau Fluid Iridescent Eyeshadow

Love Glacier!

Although all of the shades are gorgeous, I love Glacier the most. It goes on a sheer slivery white. It looks elegant and not "overdone" when worn alone with a quick swipe of mascara. It also works great as a shadow base. I sometimes like to do a smoky eye and use this as a highlighter on my brow bone. This has a wonderful light-weight texture and doesn't crease.

Nuxe Paris Huile Prodigieuse Or

Love it!

This product is GORGEOUS! I love everything about it from the way it makes my skin (I use this on my body, not face) look flawless and glowing to its light sensual fragrance. The texture is wonderful too, never greasy. This was love at first use!
