Have you ever used a gloss and just loved it?  After you bought your third tube you just swore if they evere discontinued it you would just die or at least write a letter to somebody??  That’s how I feel about Bobbi Brown’s Lipgloss.  Formulated with soothing botanical extracts – including Avocado, Jojoba and Chamomile Oils, and Aloe Extract – to keep lips soft and supple. Scented with a hint of Vanilla…..which is my all time fave scent in the world.

This gloss somehow pulls off the glossy, yet not overly shiny wet look hands down.  It can be very natural …read more

Last year when Bobbi Brown introduced her palette system….she took some of our tried and trues favorites and made it possible for us to have them in a portable fashion.  One of my favorites is her glitter lip gloss, mostly because it’s great for layering. The shades here are limited-edition and are infused with light-reflecting flecks of glitter, this gloss gives lips a high-shine and high shimmer look that’s perfect for any party and evening soiree. Comes in a sleek, flip-top compact that can be used individually or assembled into palettes.

One of my favorite glosses is made by a company called Cargo.  They make a nice lightweight glosses in oversized utilitarian tins that are good to apply with your finger or a brush.  South Beach Lip Gloss Quad delivers a sheer dose of color that’s light enough not to raise eyebrows around the office.   Just the right amount of shine without being gloppy or heavy.  Even the colors that are crazy looking are sheer and buildable.

The tins are normally available in duos….but this special edition is a quad. Southbeach contains nude shades that are universally flattering for any skin tone:  …read more

Sexy Motherpucker is the name of a new line of lipglosses from the ubiquitous Marcia Kilgore of Bliss Spa fame.  Marcia has created a new range of bath & beauty products called Soap & Glory where the motto is, “You shouldn’t have to spend an arm and a leg to moisturize one…”.  The entire line is priced under $20 and is available at Target…..how FAB is that? These are plumping glosses but they don’t burn like most of them do, just a slight tingle was all that I felt. It actually does work (at least it did for me) BUT …read more

One thing I love about Bobbi Brown is that she gets it, her collections are PERFECT for any age but I find that as I am getting older, her products are my go-to for perfect classic looks without all the drama.  Her latest mini collection, Nautical is all about summer beauty that is portable and wearable.

Summer makeup should be easy and fresh and I usually stick to cream/gel blushes -  that last a bit longer when the temps are high. Sheer color always looks so pretty with a tan!  Bobbi Brown agrees with me as her new collection is all …read more

I mix and custom blend most of the cosmetics that are sold on my website, and just love it. I think of the late Estee Lauder every time I am in my studio working on a new batch of lip gloss or custom blending a new shimmer powder.

For those of you who are feeling a little daring and want to turn your blush into a shimmery lip color, here’s a quick tip on how to do it.
