BEAUTY ADDICTS COSMETICS —–I’M ADDICTED

 

play-collection-banner

Beauty ADDICTS Lipstick and gloss, YUMMY! Aging lips are a sure giveaway to aging. They get dry (like the rest of you}, but you are constantly eating and drinking, then wiping them clean.  Giving the amount of eating and drinking I do, it’s pretty often. So, something creamy and luscious, that’s for me. Beauty ADDICTS Lipsticks and Glosses smooth and hydrating, my lips are softer, with less pucker lines that must be because of the shea butter and Vitamin E and Jojoba oil and other natural ingredients. The color Play ADDICT was a perfect compliment to most things I wear, glossy and glowing, I felt 17 again. Another color tried was “Veil”, which was a great nude lip for all complexions, good for all casual activities.  These lipsticks are very creamy and pigmented and I will be definitely be using them often.

You don’t have to be blond to wear blue eye shadow, or I should say the color “Yacht Club” from beauty ADDICTS. Just in time for summer, on the beach, by the pool, or just hanging out, what a lovely cool bluish color. Lasting power that won’t quit, it survives humidity, water, and tearing. It compliments my brown eyes, and it’s hue goes with most colors as it is subtle and tasteful. There  is no creasing, or  smudging.  I am a believer, can’t wait to try the rest of beauty ADDICTS products.  Highly recommended.

Visit beautyaddicts.com/ and choose from the array of cosmetics they have to offer.

Blingguard BlingWraps are the Greatest Creation

image001-5

Losing jewelry is one of the most heartbreaking experiences, especially if the piece of jewelry has a special meaning or costs a substantial amount money. As a victim of such heartbreak, BlingGuard’s BlingWraps are the greatest invention that I have ever tried! It comes with a set of clear stickers that, when you wrap around your finger, keeps your rings perfectly in place! In addition to the ring staying perfectly in place, you don’t have to worry about your ring slipping off. BlingGuard BlingWraps are such a great creation! The invention is invisible and comfortable, it stops sliding and spinning while adding one size to your finger! I considered BlingWraps my jewelry insurance because it is a small price to pay to make my ring fit perfectly and prevent my rings from falling off and getting lost forever.

Last year, my grandparents gave me a beautiful, cross ring for my high school graduation. The ring was such a special, heartfelt and expensive gift, yet the ring was slightly big and I was worried that it would slip off. Well, that was until I found BlingWraps, which alleviates my fears by holding my ring perfectly in place through “guarding” my “bling”. So if you are like me and cherish jewelry, be sure to make sure it stays perfectly in place with BlingGuards BlingWraps! You can purchase your BlingWraps at blingguard.com

With Rimmel London It’s All About the Eyes

When it comes to wearing makeup, mascara is like a girl’s best friend. Personally I can’t leave the house without putting on a little bit. Whether you are going on a date, getting ready for a night out with the girls, or running out of the house late for work, the lash’s are something every girl wants to be longer, bolder and fuller. When somebody looks at your face the first thing they notice are two things: your eyes and your smile.

Rimmel Volume Flash Scandal'Eyes Mascara, Extreme Black

The perfect solution to this is to apply Rimmel London Mascara. This is the perfect mascara for any occasion. Its Scandal Eyes formula creates a subtle but daring look to your eyes that make people want to look… maybe even a double take! If you are going to go see a sad romantic movie and know you are going to shed a tear or two, you don’t want your makeup running down your face. Rimmel London Scandal Eyes is also waterproof! Perfect for any eye color. To spice up your look even more, add some eye shadow to complete the look. I would recommend this mascara to anybody. Definitely stock up on this one!

Win Dad’s Heart this Father’s Day with the New York Yankees

0-6

Growing up living in a household of New York Yankee fans, conversation at the dinner table in the 70’s and 80’s was about the huge rivalries with the Royals. Arguing back and forth about their past championships and their high payroll, no one was singing “Sweet Caroline”. My dad, a talent Italian musician, had one rule… not only did you have to bring home a Italian date but they had to be a true New York Yankees Fan too!  That’s very hard to find  growing up in the New England area. When my date walked through the door to take me out, my dad didn’t ask what time will you bring home my daughter….. the first question was ” Name at least five New York Yankees players”.  I had many boyfriends studying the New York Times sports section as they wanted to impress my dad in hope for another date with me. Thinking back and laughing at these special memories, makes me agree, my dad the greatest winner of all just like the New York Yankees!

New York Yankees Fragrance men’s Eau De Toilette Spray is the perfect gift for any New York Yankees fan! On Sunday, June 16, a day dedicated to our fathers for all the special memories and great things they have done!  This is a celebration of honoring and respecting our fathers around the world.  Purchasing the perfect gift, New York Yankees Fragrance Men’s Eau De Toilette Spray, will win their heart!  The scent, created by Cloudbreak Group, a fragrance brand developer, is now available at Yankee Stadium and at retailers including Macy’s and Lord & Taylor.  The fragrance comes in 1, 1.7 and 3.4 ounce bottles.  The 3.4 ounce bottle retails for $62.00.  It is an officially licensed product of the Major League Baseball.  The fragrance epitomizes the winning style of the greatest team in baseball, capturing a sporty and confident attitude.  Fresh, woody, timeless, masculine scent introduces a blend of sparkling bergamot, coriander and cool blue sage.  As it evolves, the fragrance reveals a fusion of crisp ivy leaves, orange flower and geranium enhanced with rich earthy patchouli, sandalwood and suede to create a fresh, smooth scent.  New York Yankees Fragrance Men’s Eau De Toilette is a meaningful gift for a true New York Yankee Fan!  This cologne reminds me of a famous quote from Coach Joe Girardi of the Yankees….”I want players to look neat and responsible.  Maybe it’s old school, but it’s kind of neat when people are always clean.”  Love the Yankees!

Taylor Swift’s Wonderstruck Enchanted, You Can’t Help But Love It!

 Unknown

Although I don’t like to admit it because it’s cliché, I am one of those girls who spends a good chuck of their summer driving to the beach with my friends screaming Taylor Swift lyrics while her music blasts. Taylor Swift’s songs are so peppy and catchy they instantly put you in a better mood and her perfume has the same effect.

Because perfumes are so expensive, I like to have one or two quality scents. The perfume I used before Taylor Swift’s was quite musty and I hated wearing it in the spring/summer. So once I smelt Wonderstruck Enchanted it knew it was time to make it my signature scent for warm weather! The light, sweet and feminine floral scent is simple and perfect for any and every occasion. I wear it to work, I wear it to go out with friends, at the beach and I can even wear it to go shopping. What makes Wonderstruck Enchanted even better is that the perfume is long lasting, I only have to apply it once and I am ready for the day! Wonderstruck Enchanted has been nothing but flawless and versatile. I am not the only one that loves it, I have gotten at least a handful of compliments about how I smell whenever I am wearing the perfume!

In addition, Wonderstruck Enchanted comes it the cutest reddish purple round bottle with four charms attached to it—a flower, a leaf, a crystal, and a bird. I love the way the perfume looks sitting, ready to use, on my vanity table. Overall, Wonderstruck Enchanted perfume is just like a Taylor Swifts song, so catchy, sweet, and beautiful that you can’t help but love it and other people will too—even if they are a Taylor Swift fan!

Put on the kettle and pour yourself a cup of GOOD EARTH CAFFEINE FREE SWEET & SPICY TEA.

Fabulous is First Aid Beauty Dual Repair Eye Cream

2047874

My circles and crows feet around my eyes have been a problem for a very long time. I have tried many eye-creams with absolutely no results. The idea of drastic measures to get rid of the circles was becoming my only alternative, until I tried Dual Repair Eye Cream.  Dual Repair has the ingredients of Soduim Phylate and Glucosy Hesperidin to decrease the look of puffiness and dark circles.  very morning, I crossed my fingers and applied the eye-cream hoping this would be the miracle cream to keep the doctor away.

The results were astounding, within two weeks, my eyes looked unbelievable. The fine lines, circles and puffiness had vanished, and I had regained my youthful appearance. My friends actually thought a surgeon did the work until I gave away the secret of the miracle cream. Dual Repair Eye Crème is very lightweight and provides a great deal of moisture around the eye. The difference between this cream and many of the others were the dramatic results. I can finally say, I found an Eye Cream that actually works!!!!

I found my Dual Repair Eye Cream at qvc.com and it can also be found at sephora.com

Smashing Smashbox Creates Killer Eyes

image002-1

image001

Smashing results for your eyes – wow – I have never used SMASHBOX before, but I recently came across the SoftBox PHOTO OP EYE SHADOW PALETTE IN SOFTBOX II.  The gorgeous ‘little black box’ the most beautiful colors – soft, warm, highly pigmented and creamy. With my dark, almost black brown eyes sometimes I need a pop. With this color palette I can go from day to evening in almost no time at all, but the colors stay on all day too.

The first time I put the makeup on, my daughter actually did the eye makeup. She’s an incredible budding makeup artist and I said – okay, why not? This day, believe it or not, she had been at the dentist and had five teeth pulled out, about five hours earlier.  (She had impacted baby teeth that would not come loose with adult teeth growing in).  She wasn’t completely recovered but was sitting on the couch and really not feeling too great.  As soon as the words, ‘Let’s try out that Smashbox Eyeshadow’ came rolling off my lips, she leapt off the couch and was in full force doing our eyes in no time.  Then of course we had a major photo shoot before she fell back into a lump on the couch. She claims her teeth hurt but I actually think Sponge Bob just pulled her back into TV Land.

The colors are highly pigmented and so creamy. And, they stay on all day long – looking as good in the morning as they do in the evening.  Recently I had one of those long, long days where I had two meetings, a lunch, an event at night, and then had to pick up my beau from the airport! Literally when I picked him up at 9:30 he said, ‘You look beautiful honey!’ Wow.

The other nice thing about this eye makeup is that its good for sensitive eyes. Sometimes makeup can irritate me, but not Smashbox!  I love the neutral colors. Perfect for my brown eyes! I’m Smashed!

You can find Smashbox Cosmetics at smashbox.com/ Sephora, Sephora inside JCPenny, Ulta, Nordstrom, www.beauty.com/, and select Macy’s      Price: $39.00

DERMELECT~NAILED IT

0-69
 0-68

Dermelect Nail Polish is the first peptide`infused color treatments for fragile, weak nails.  I read this quote and thought every nail polish claims to build strong nails and repair any damage.  Dermelect is the only product that actually helped my nails to grow within a two-week period.  Usually, I apply the nail polish and have a difficult time getting the polish to glide smoothly and evenly on my nails.  The painting process is tedious; however, Dermelect goes on easily and smoothly and quickly creates beautiful, bold colors on your nails.

The first coat instantly bonds to the nail, while the second fuses with the base coat to create a flexible web of color that resists chipping and improves brittleness.  The Dermelect polish also has a brilliant shine and is fast drying.  Dermelect actually has me doing my own nails, even creating beautiful designs on my nails.  If you want to make polishing your nails hassle free and build strong healthy nails without sitting in a salon for hours, purchase Dermelect Nail Polish.

Dermelect’s Fearless Beauty collection contains four creamy hues injected with high-voltage bright pigments, guaranteed to turn heads. FEARLESS (cobalt blue) and MOXIE (Pink), shown above are two of the colors in the collection along with RENEGADE (jade) and BUZZ-WORTHY (lemon). You can purchase the entire collection and other fabulous color nail lacquers at www.dermelect.com/.
