beach day !

I know that most people use sunscreen on their bodies at the beach, but it's super imporant NOT to forget the need to protect your face too!  I'm packing my beach bag and getting ready to head out the door.  But before I go, here's a list of items that are my "Beach Must Haves" for my face:



1. moisturzer with SPF protection (today it's Bobbi Brown's Brightening SPF 50 Protective Face Base)
2. a floppy sun hat (one with style is preferred!)
3. sunglasses (my latest loves are my Michael Kors aviators)

And yes, my sunglasses are sitting on top of a book, because that my other must have for a beach day ... a good book!  Enjoy your Saturday, folks!

Long time, no blog!

Hey there folks ... remember me?  Well, I'm back!

I've taken a really long break from blogging & tweeting, but now I know it's time to pick things back up.  As you can see, the blog has been given a little bit of a face lift and I hope you like it.  And I hope you like our new logo.  It'll be on all my material moving forward (including my new business cards ... YAY!). 

I'll have some cool and exciting news and product reviews to share with you all soon, so I hope you start checking back regularly, or you might miss something cool! Stay tuned ...

rain rain, you won't stop me from looking great!

I'm getting ready to head into the city today to meet up with an old friend!  I need a makeup look that's "city chic" but can stay put in this nasty weather ... UGH.  Looks like no matter what I put on my face today, my feel are going to need my Wellies!  Good thing I have the awesomest pair of Hunters that I got just for their good looks rainy days like these.

So today I'm throwing on some Smashbox tinted moisturizer in Luminous (I love this stuff ... really makes my skin glow) followed by some Smashbox High Definition Healthy FX liquid foundation.  I've finished it off with a little concealer and Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder, also by Smashbox. 

For my eye's I've decided on a bronze sparkle look by mixing together two of my favorite Urban Decay colors, Smog and Chopper, and blending from the lash line to the crease.  I lined the inner rims of my eyes and upper and lower lashes with my Sephora Copper Electro eye pencil.

Threw on a coat or two of mascara (Covergirl Lashblast Volume), some blush (Nars Orgasm) and a coat of my fave Chanel gloss (Brilliant 73), and it's off I go for fun, friends and Mexican later at one of my most favorite NYC restaurants!
