Perking up winter skin: Bobbi Brown Pretty Powerful Palette

January 10, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Does this palette from Bobby Brown make you think of Spring? Me too, but the shades are actually just right for the cold winter days that stand between us and the daffodils.

While heavy, dark makeup can be very tempting, there is the danger of a fabulously deep color looking garish against pale winter skin. A good goal is to brighten and illuminate your face, and then if you want to add a deeper color to one feature (eg dark rimmed eyes), you will still have a warm weather glow.

The pink blush may seem a bit bright in the pan, but on your skin, it will look like you have an inner glow and natural color to your cheeks. What I love about this color blush is that it is universally flattering – whether you look like you haven’t seen the sun in months to you look like you just stepped off the plane from a tropical island, it will work beautifully. Same with the eyeshadows – there is a highlighter, lid and liner color that will work on everyone.

January 10, 2011 · Leave a Comment

I have a pretty pink Clarisonic Classic. I love it. But everytime a new color Clarisonic comes out, regardless of color, I always think “Ooo, I want that color too!!!!!” (I’ve restrained myself – I only have the one….)

So if you’ve been on the fence about getting a Clarisonic Mia, here’s a new reason: it now comes in a pretty, pretty lavender, blue, and garnet. The kit also contains a sensitive brush head.

My Clarisonic Classic was a great purchase – and whether it is for travel, your gym bag, or home use, the Mia is a great choice as well!

SEPHORA COLLECTION Instant Depuffing Roll-On Gel

January 7, 2011 · Leave a Comment

Ever wake up and your eyes just look…meh? You probably have a few factors going on – dullness, puffiness, and dryness. On those mornings, you might want to try the new SEPHORA COLLECTION Instant Depuffing Roll-On Gel. While it has the micro-massaging beads on the tip are reminiscent of a lot of depuffing products on the market now, this formula tackles dull and puffy skin with moisture, not ingredients like caffeine. While caffeine can be incredibly effective to take down puffiness, it can dry out your skin if you use it regularly. And if your skin is already starting out dry, you are just going to look drier, not wide awake.

The formula contains HydroSenn+, a plant derived moisturizer that continuously moisturizes during the day. It also has light-reflecting pigments to make you look more awake, and red vine leaf extract gets to work on dark circles. I think it’s great that it’s a fragrance free formula – whether your eyes are sensitive or not, adding fragrance to irritated eye skin never works out well in my experience.

I’m excited to try this and a few other of the new products from the SEPHORA COLLECTION skincare line. When I pick them up I’ll be sure to let you know what I think!
