Early gift shopping…. Check out this adorable clutch-type makeup bag that comes with the Miss Dior Gift Set. I love the big, silver Dior “D.” 
The rest of the gift set consists of a 1.7 ounce Eau de Parfum Spray, a 1.7 ounce Moisturizing Perfumed Shower Gel, and a 1.7 ounce Perfumed Body Moisturizer. Miss Dior Cherie is an updated version of the original Miss Dior fragrance.

Some of the notes listed  are new to me. For example, there’s a “caramelized popcorn” note.  (Yum, I think I’ll make some.)  This fragrance is classified by Sephora as …read more

If you have shine and oil in your T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) and dryness on your cheeks, you have combination skin.  It’s not easy to take care of skin that suffers from both oiliness and dryness, so I was excited to discover the Shiseido Pureness line that was designed to deal with this specific skin condition.  Oh and can I also mention that it’s pronounced shee-SAY-doe and not shi-SHEE-doe, which is what I hear most people saying…it’s Japanese!

I see combination skin as a condition that occurs after the sensitive acne-prone skin of puberty and before the seriously moisture-hungry skin of …read more

While waiting for trick-or-treaters to come to my door, I decided to do a little shopping. The cutest little bottle of Juicy Couture’s Travel Eau de Parfum – Strawberry caught my eye.  The bottle is a one ounce size with a little strawberry charm hanging off the side of the top. Adorable. After seeing her reaction to the bottle of Mally, I know a certain teenager who would love to find this bottle come the holidays.
Since Juicy girls are always on the move, Pamela and Gela wanted them to have their Juicy Couture wherever they went. That’s why they created …read more

I’ve mentioned before about Sephora’s Beauty Insiders program. The Beauty Insiders is a rewards program. I also mentioned Leslie Blodgett’s new Perfume Diaries Bare Skin fragrance (as well as the Hawaiian vacation contest). Well, if you are a member of the Beauty Insiders, you can get in on a couple of Bare Skin exclusive offers.
The first is a Bare Skin Solid Perfume. It hangs on a ribbon and it has the look of a pocket watch. Customers rate this perfume with 5 out of 5 stars. Bare Skin is a Woody/Oriental fragrance.

Mmm… I love the smell of warm gingerbread. But that’s only one reason why I fell in love with The Gingerbread Man Scented Hot Salt Body Scrub from Philosophy. This scrub heats up when you use it in the shower or bath to exfoliate your skin, leaving it soft, silky and healthy.
Exfoliation is essential to keep your skin looking its best. It removes dead skin cells and smooths rough patches to reveal fresh, rejuvenated skin. This scent of this Philosophy scrub reminds me of baking gingerbread men with my grandma.
You don’t have to wait until the holiday season to get …read more

When I was a little girl, I had a little yellow duck pin that someone got me from AVON for Easter. It was so cute and the best part was that if I slid one part of the duck to the side, it had a little solid perfume in it. I loved that pin and I wore it all the time.
I still love the idea of a piece of jewelry with a lovely smelling surprise inside. Sephora is now carrying a cocktail ring with Michael Kors Hollywood fragrance in it. It’s a gold-toned ring with a big, pink gemstone. The …read more
