THE LITTLE BLACK DRESS BY AVON

5/15/2016

Comments

 
Picture
When it comes to the elegance and femininity of a little black dress, don't you wish you could bottle it up and enjoy it whenever you please? Well, now you can. With Avon's fragrance, Little Black Dress, you have the timeless perfection of the iconic dress in the form of a perfume. It's aromatics are fine yet flirtatious. There's nothing like standing in front of a mirror wearing a little black dress. Add a strand of pearls, and there's little more you could ask for. Cheers to timeless style in the form of a fragrance.

OCEANA: THE SCENT & SOUND OF THE OCEAN

3/17/2016

And then you find a scent that transcends aromatics and becomes auditory. Here enters 'Oceana', a scent by TerraNova that pairs perfectly with Billie Eilish's 'Ocean Eyes'. A fragrance embodying notes of marine moss, green tea and jasmine oil sing the sensual lyrics and intoxicating movement of a song that speaks to getting lost, beautifully so, in a moment that ebbs and flows in equal parts of fragility and fluidity with innocent intensity. I highly recommend checking out the scent (www.terranovabody.com) & the song (soundcloud.com/billieeilish/ocean-eyes).

  Cheers,

"If eyes are windows to the soul, this provides the most lovely, luxurious curtain."

When you find a product that is not just 'a product' but an experience as well, make note to yourself and notify others too. That said, I submit to you notification of an excellent experience within the beauty category in the form of a silky cream eye shadow stick by Rimmel London - ScandalEyes. While I rocked the 'Bad Girl Bronze', there are a number of other shades that are also entirely intense including: Whiteness White, Guilty Grey, Bulletproof Beige, Blackmail, Paranoid Purple, Blamed Blue, Gossip Green, Tempting Turquoise, Gold Digger, Bluffing, Naughty Navy, Teasing Turquoise Bootleg Brown & Trespassing Taupe. Whether you're going for seductive subtlety or diva-esque drama, I highly recommend giving ScandalEyes a try.

  Cheers,

VASANTI: TIME AFTER TIME ON THE LIPS

Generally, I'm a modest gloss gal, but on occasion I like to spice things up with a shade. Today, I chose 'Face Time' from the 'Time After Time' Gel Matte Lipstick line by Vasanti. Comprised of cherry, pomegranate and evening primrose oils, this shade is strong and lasts long in the hue of medium taupe plum. 

  Cheers,

THE FLAWLESS ILLUSIONIST: MANUKA  DOCTOR PRIMER & MASK

12/3/2015

Comments

 
Picture
"The beauty of a butterfly comes with the venom of a bee." -AM

Made with Manuka Honey from New Zealand, the Illusionist Rapid Lift Mask and Flawless Primer are now part of my 'Must Have' inventory. Beyond the homeopathic honey component, both of these beautiful products contain purified bee venom (PBV) which is proven to boost natural collagen formation and increase skin's elasticity. In addition to that, the aromatics of the mask are intoxicating and the effects of the primer are instant.

While there is a long list of reasons to love both the Illusionist Mask and Flawless Primer (including wrinkle reducing, skin tightening, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, blackhead fighting, pore clearing, imperfection disguising and skin smoothing), you can take my word for it. Better yet, you can try it yourself, which I highly recommend.
While I love putting on my pearls for a night out, its this mask and primer that I enjoy equally so.

Finally, fashion forward lip balm.

"I've used Carmex for years. Yep. Kept it in the bottom of my purse where all my practical but 'not pretty' parcels have a home. This season, Carmex Moisture Plus Ultra-Hydrating Lip Balm surfaced to the top pocket of my purse. Inspired by Pantone's official color forecast, Carmex creates a new series of designs every season. The same Carmex dependability now comes in adorably designed packaging. A stylish, slim-stick serves up soft vanilla flavored shine equipped with SPF 15. Cheers to Carmex couture for your lips!" -Allie Merrick
