Sally Hansen introduces “Royal Splendor”

IMG_2939

SALLY HANSEN introduces its new line of Miracle Gel colors called “Royal Splendor”. You will not be disappointed in these 7 amazing colors.  We love Sally Hansen’s Miracle Gel because the polishes last several weeks and are chip resistant. Remember to use Miracle Gel2X Volume Top Coat with the Miracle Gel shades to experience the long-lasting benefits as well as a high gloss finish. The beauty of Sally Hansen’s Miracle Gel is that no lights are needed for the polish to harden. Apply Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in 2 easy steps:

First, apply two thin coats of Miracle Gel color to clean, bare nails. Then, apply one coat of the Miracle Gel Top Coat. Natural light cures the polish, yielding a manicure that resembles a UV / LED cured gel polish. It removes easily with regular nail polish remover.

The “Royal Splendor” collection features seven new regal shades:

What do you get a guy who doesn’t want anything? Molton Brown !!

unnamed-5

Father’s Day and Birthdays are always challenging gift occasions. My husband has everything he needs and he just doesn’t want anything. Yes, he is one of those kind of guys that make gift buying very difficult. I do know he likes to smell nice but he really won’t buy products for himself, so that’s where I come in handy. A little online shopping brought me to Molton Brown and I found a fabulous body wash, black Peppercorn. This particular body wash is formulated with antioxidant rich Madagascan black peppercorn oil and top notes of coriander. My husband is enjoying his new Molton Brown body wash immensely.

A recent trip to New York City’s Soho district brought me right in front of a Molton Brown Store. I didn’t even realize it until I was crossing the street, I was so excited to browse in the store. How happy was I, that I found a Black Peppercorn  Anti Perspirant Stick which will complement the Body Wash he already has?  Molton Brown  has an extensive line of body care for both men and women. There were so many amazing scents to choose from. Scents like Cocoa & Sandalwood, Silver Birch, Water Mint just to name a few. I purchased Tobacco Absolute and I know he will enjoy it just as much. What is nice about this line is the variety and the exquisite scents.

BlendSmart…Look Flawless

s1814870-main-Lhero

Do you ever say to yourself, “there has to be an easier way” when applying your makeup foundation? I know I have more often than I care to say. Powder blush is relatively easy to apply but liquid and stick foundation can result in a nightmare. I love my liquid and stick foundations in the cooler months and I don’t  like applying with a sponge. Therefore, I am left with using my fingertips. This can be messy, streaky and cakey. There is nothing worse than a makeup line left behind because you didn’t blend it in correctly. I have found the perfect tool to solve these issues and maybe solve some of your own with the blendSMART rotating makeup brush.

The blendSMART rotating makeup brush is an amazing tool that allows you to apply your foundation, bronzers and blushes flawlessly. The blendSMART brush is battery operated (batteries included) with a rotating brush head (the brush head actually spins). The blendSMART is easy to use, simply dab the desired amount of foundation onto your face and turn on your blendSMART. The gentle spinning of the brush gradually and delicately blends your foundation. I was very impressed at how well the blendSMART brush worked. The blendSMART provides an even application every time. Cleaning is easy too! I just use a little liquid soap and water and gently swish the brush in the palm of my hand then rinse. The blendSMART will be dry and ready for its next use.

There are 3 high quality interchangeable brush heads designed for the blendSMART. The Foundation Brush (shown below) is included in the blendSMART Starter Set. It can be used with your favorite liquid, loose, pressed powder or stick foundation).  The Blush Brush and Powder Brush are sold separately. All three of the blendSMART interchangeable brushes include the following features:

Premium, anti-bacterial synthetic fibers (cruelty-free)

Soft and gentle fibers are ideal for sensitive skin

Spins at approximately 190 RPM

Easily attaches to your blendSMART automated handle

blendSMART PRO TIP: great results with mineral powder makeup including foundation

Powder-head-350x350

IMG_5885

 

I’m not much of a jewelry person. Shoes? Yes … Jewelry? No. That is, until I discovered Wendy Mignot. My husband bought me a beautiful pair of earrings to mark my 40th birthday about 10+ years ago. I have worn nothing else on my ears since. Move over 40th birthday present, you have been temporarily replaced by my new Wendy Mignot Lavender pearl earrings. Check out my new pair of  Coastal Petite Lavender Freshwater Pearl Stud Earrings. Not only is lavender my favorite color but when I saw these pearl stud earrings, I could not resist. These particular pair of earring are from the Coastal Petite Collection and have sterling silver backs. Wendy Mignot states perfectly that “Each pearl is unique; each piece is unique”. You will find this to be true when you view her collection.

There are eight unique collections with pieces such as earrings, bracelets  and necklaces. The necklace below, from the Seacrest Tahitian collection is handcrafted in leather with assorted Tahitian Pearls. The Round Pearls (10-12mm) and  Drop Pearls (14-16mm) used to create this necklace are simply stunning.

Of course we can’t omit some of the beautiful bracelets like the bracelets form the Azur Turquoise collection. This Larimar and Freshwater Pearl Bracelet is one of my favorites. It’s  a limited edition and available in several lengths. This piece is definitely a turquoise lovers dream bracelet.

Red Carpet Insoles for a Red Carpet feel

They are not just any insoles that you pick up at the drug store. These are Red Carpet Insoles and they are wonderful! Red Carpet Insoles are made of Genuine Leather and are available in whatever shoe size you own. The first time I wore them, they were placed in a wedge shoe. My feet fit perfectly in the shoe and my feet felt wonderful after walking in them all day. No sliding, no blisters, just pure comfort. The second time I wore them I placed them in a pair of high heels. The result? I will never wear a heel without Red Carpet Insoles again. Red Carpet Insoles act as a shock absorber relieving pain and foot discomfort. This particular pair of heels, shown above, were actually a tad to big and the insoles made them fit perfectly. It was a whole different walking experience having the insoles in my shoes.

As stated by Red Carpet, Its “design is specifically designed to offer maximum comfort at the ball of the feet, relieving the pain where it hurts the most in high heels (60% of the weight of our body rests on this part of our foot when in high heels). This unique design has a reinforced cushion at the front, as well as a second cushion at the back, for added support of the arch of the foot. Red Carpet is proud to have a Design Patent for designing this innovative product.”

If you don’t want to take my word for it, Red Carpet Insoles was listed as one of the top “Problem Solvers” in Oprah Magazine.

The NEW Hard Candy Oopsy Proof Eye Liner Eraser Really Does Work!!!!

images

 

I basically don’t wear eye liner and mascara. It’s not because I don’t want to, I really like eye makeup. It’s just that applying it always causes me some kind of grief, so I only wear it on special occasions. Usually, when I apply eyeliner, it goes on too thick or its uneven. Applying mascara is another story. I always end up with dots under my eyes and when I try to fix it, I take off makeup already applied. This causes me to start over and I end up feeling frustrated.  If I could apply my eyeliner and mascara effortlessly, like my daughters, I wouldn’t be telling you about my newest discovery, Hard Candy’s Oopsy Proof Eye Liner Eraser. This Eyeliner eraser pen is like a cleaning stick for your eyes and it really does work.

What I love about this eyeliner eraser is the precision tip. Hard Candy’s  Oopsy Proof Eye Liner Eraser has a tip so fine that it removes all eyeliner and mascara mistakes easily. Even the smallest dots are delicately erased without removing makeup that was already applied.  You can even repair uneven eyeliner.

Seriously, where have you been hiding? This is one makeup product I seriously will not live without! Hard Candy’s Oopsy Proof Eye Liner Eraser is available exclusively at Walmart and Walmart.com. I stocked up on my Oopsy Proof Eye Liner Eraser, did you stock up on yours?
