Eclos Rejuvenating Antioxidant Mask

I’m a huge fan of masks. I think because I’m the type of person that likes instant gratification and instant results. I’m always on the hunt for the best masks that provide my skin with a major pick-me-up. I’ve been in love with the facial scrub by Eclos for the past four years. I just recently discovered the Eclos Rejuvenating Antioxidant Mask, $12.99 during a recent trip to Ulta. I had gone there to buy the scrub when I realized they were having a BOGO event and so I decided to try the mask as well. My skin has been suffering lately from my crazy lifestyle, so needless to say, I needed something to save my skin..FAST! From the moment I put this mask on, my skin started feeling moisturized. This mask contains Vitamin A which is known to boost collagen production. It also contains antioxidants, humectants , and powerful anti-aging extracts. The blend is pure perfection. I left the mask on for 10 minutes and then rinsed and applied my usual moisturizer. This mask should be used twice a week. I will tell you this mask made a huge improvement in my skin after just two applications. It left my skin well hydrated and virtually line free. I’ve fallen in LOVE again…Will this ever end?

Eylure Naturalites False Lashes

Give your lashes that one two punch. I’m always on the hunt for a great pair of drugstore lashes. I love the ones I buy in Downtown L.A., but sometimes I can’t find the time to get down there. I have extremely sensitive eyes and I have to be super careful with which brand of false lashes I wear. Sometimes the adhesive that is used to keep the lashes in the package, contains an ingredient that really causes my eczema to flair. When I stumbled upon this twin pack of Eylure Naturalites lashes at CVS for $7.99, I snatched them up immediately. I love the volume of these lashes and I could tell they would be great for that added definition that I love when I have a night out or an important meeting. I can usually get a couple uses out of each pair of lashes if I gently rinse them with warm water at the end of the night. I also always cut the lashes in half and just use them on the ends. It’s truly amazing how much of a difference bold lashes make to a woman’s eye area and your overall look. I’m telling you, once you master the art of applying these babies, you will be hooked for life!

GlyDerm Face Lotion Lite & Some Much Needed Beauty Sleep

Wakey wakey…to beautiful, line free and perfectly hydrated skin. Boy did I over do it last week. With the World Cup, 4th of July and a girls day at the pool (with bottles of champagne) my skin was suffering big time! I have been trying to repair the damage since Sunday. Luckily I have some great secret weapons. When my skin is lacking that luster, I immediately boost my skincare routine with some major power players. Aside from doubling my intake on my Omega 3 supplements, which definitely helps with hydration, I also have been using a repair mask every other day. For the past five nights, I have been using my GlyDerm Intense C-Serum PM with the Glyderm Face Lotion Lite 5 on top. Both of these products help repair your skin and also soften fine lines and wrinkles. By this morning my skin is definitely bouncing back. You all know how I adore my makeup, but once in a while I have to step outside of my comfort zone and show you my makeup free face! After all, beautiful makeup starts with beautiful skin.

Dolce & Gabbana Passion Duo Lipstick in Delight

Sometimes I feel like I need to lighten up a bit! Literally. My go to look is always a bold, bright lip paired with an understated eye. But I must admit, I have a new favorite shade. I’m absolutely in love a million times over with Dolce & Gabbana’s Passion Duo Lipsticks, $36 at DolceandGabbana.com. The color I have been obsessing over for the past week is called Delight. It is the perfect pink lipstick. The reason I love this lipstick so much is it’s ability to stay put and it’s extra creamy but also highly pigmented. These lipsticks leave your lips super hydrated with a bit of a shine. I know these are a little pricey, but they are worth every penny and then some. If you have one splurge this month, this should be it!

Don’t Let Anyone Tell You It’s A Man’s World

I normally just review beauty products, but lately, there has been a lot of talk among my friends about the power of being a woman. For years, women were not considered equals, especially in the business world. Today, we are ruling the world! We are entrepreneurs, we are Mother’s, we are leaders and we are definitely paving the way for the next generation of innovators. I simply wanted to praise all of my fellow ladies for being so darn remarkable! I am amazed daily by the women in my life. I think part of the power of being a woman is not only are we strong, we can be feminine and well put together while doing it. For me, I realize the confidence that comes from within while I am wearing my favorite lipstick and a fabulous pair of heels. I am that woman that is always over prepared, if there is such a thing? So I’m always confident in my ability to bring it to the table, but the second that lipstick goes on, there is something in me that just takes my confidence to a whole other level. So the next time you have that important meeting, power lunch, etc. come in fully prepared, lipstick and all. Beauty is confidence and there is nothing more beautiful than a smart and confident woman! I LOVE it- xx
