Some of my favorites…

Coconut Frosting really nice for summer, or for whenever you want it to feel like summer.  I have used this in the dead of winter as a little reminder of warmer weather.

Red Velvet Cake Although the first time I used this it looked liek a crime scene in my shower, the scent is og so lovely and reminds me of my Nana’s red velvet cake.

Senorita Margarita This smells JUST like the real thing so be careful, you may be tempted to drink it in the shower.

Caramel Apple For the upcoming Fall season, the smells of caramel and apples togetehr are just divine.

There are so so so so many to choose from, my suggestion to you is to get into a Sephora store and just start sniffing.  They are pricier than drugstore bodywashes BUT the sizes are huge (16fl oz) and they last forever as a little bit goes a long way.  Now be advised as these scents are only meant to last while you are in the shower so you can use whatever scented lotion etc afterwards with no conflict.

These retail for $16 and are available at Sephora stores nationwide, sephora.com and philosophy.com

Smashbox Untamed High Lights Cheek Luminizer

Not a blusher, but a highlighter that is designed to be used to give your cheekbones that naturally high, sculpted look. One that so many of us would love to have, me included. If it’s true and it really is able to do this, it will be worth every penny. Who doesn’t love a little shimmer on the cheekbones? I wear my DoubleGlow7 everyday, and I mean everyday. I just love it! The look is so pretty and gives the skin a radiant glow that once you have you won’t be able to live without.

This Untamed High Lights Cheek Luminizer from Smashbox is $24 and available exclusively at Sephora

What’s better than an eyeshadow that goes on smoothly with no creases? An eyeshadow that tones and lifts and looks fabulous too! That’s the idea behind DuWop’s New Shadowlift, a sheer\[ liquid eyeshadow packed with collagen and antioxidants. So creamy to the touch and a shimmery finish with beautiful color.

• A little about Shadowlift:
• It’s a shimmery cream eyeshadow with anti-aging properties
• Also an eye treatment with color that provides a sheer wash of color…ooh pretty.
• Each tube contains marine botanicals, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties

Features and Benefits… Pomegranate seed oil which reduces the signs of aging, protects the skin from free radicals and improves the elasticity of the skin.

• Vitamin E moisturizes and prevents free radical damage while Vitamin C rejuvenates the skin and improves its overall appearance.
• Beta-glucan reduces wrinkle depth, and Allantoin soothes the skin while stimulating the growth of healthy tissue. Pepha-Tight®, an algae extract, strengthens the skin’s connective tissue by stimulating collagen synthesis, and Marine collagen boosts collagen production naturally, increases elasticity and firms the skin.

All of these amazing ingredients in one little tube. Who knew? As you know I am a big fan of this dynamite duo at Duwop. I love so many of their products and my favorite is still the Duwop Doubleglow7, but I think I may be adding Shadowlift to that list as well.

This is one of the creamiest body butters I have ever used and my new favorite for keeping my skin looking beautiful and smelling soooo good. Maldive body butters nourish your skin with exotic  ingredients like illipe butter, shea butter, kelp extract, hibiscus extract, and Vitamin E.

Designed by L.A. based Caroline Atwood, each cream has its own unique smell, and all are delicious. You may be living in a windy city but you’ll feel like you’re in the tropics whenever you use.

One of the products that made it’s way around the beauty product roundtable event I attended last week was this eye cream from Ole Henriksen.

Ole Henriksen (pronounced ooh-lee, by the way) Ultimate Lift Eye Gel did not make it into my bag to take home and sample. But it did just now make it into my shopping cart online at Sephora.com. Being that it is a finalist for one of the coveted Glam Beauty Awards, I know it is definitely something I need to try.

The description from Sephora.com

Let the Ultimate Lift Eye Gel work its magic as you sleep, thanks to this infusion of sodium hyaluronate, cucumber, and calendula extracts that hydrate, depuff, and smooth away fine lines.

Has anyone used this and what can I expect in the results?

I know that the sample I tried on my hand felt wonderful and that the gel smelled very light and fresh. I cannot wait to give it a good ole try. Look for my results soon.

Ole Henriksen Ultimate Lift Eye Gel is available at Sephora.com for $38.

As Anastasia is the queen of eyebrows, she knows a thing or two about tweezers. Her slant tipped tweezers easily grasp each hair and make eyebrow shaping a cinch.

For Breast Cancer Awareness month, these tweezers are pretty in pink, and the net proceeds from the sale of these tweezers benefit the Women’s Cancer Research Fund.

Anastasia’s tweezers can be purchased for $28 wherever her products are sold, including her website and Sephora.

Well, that would be me trying to pluck my eyebrows on an almost daily basis. Sometimes the light is just not right, and time is of the essence.

Sephora must have read my mind when they decided to launch these Illuminating Tweezers.

You see, these stainless steel slanted tip tweezers not only grasp even the tiniest of eyebrow hairs, the very bright, white light illuminates the small area to be plucked. They even come in a durable case with mirror.

Genius!
