Time For Tea!

( Via Megan Hess )

Does anyone really know what time it is after this weekend's Spring ahead? I haven't quite changed all of the clocks yet, so I have been running a little late. There is one thing, however, that I am always on time for - Tea Time. If you love tea, then you understand how afternoon or morning tea is really creating a special moment just for you. It's like a warm hug and a deep breath. Tea will be just the thing to get through today's cold and snowy weather.  So while you are cozy at home, curl up, be safe and have a stylish spot of tea with me!

Gin or Tea? I'll never tell.  Unique and quirky, it's made in England from fine bone china. Just perfect for those who want to tipple in style.

How Cheeky!

When it comes to blush, aren't we all really looking for that youthful flush of excitement that you get when you are in love? Blush and highlighter is how you get it, but it probably is the number one thing many of us get wrong. Too much and you look like a clown. Too little and you look dull and sad. There are so many ways to blush. Today's post features some of the best products that will take your

cheeks to chic.



HERE: 12 Blushing Beauties

Cloud Paint By Glossier
New and an instant hit after the Oscars where Taraji Henson, Reese Witherspoon, Chrissy Teigen and more wore shades of this new kid on the makeup block. It's an interesting way to blush and rather like finger painting. I don't like to talk price, but it is less than $20. Also paraban, fragrance, and cruelty free, and hypoallergenic. Sounds like a winner.
Glossier

Limited Edition Illuminating Cheek Palettes 

Guava (top) and Peach (bottom)

Layered together these shades create the perfect flush of color. They are designed to be worn together, and give you just a hint shimmer and the look of a day in the Caribbean.
Nordstrom

P.S. There's a Bobbie Brown Free Gift with Purchase happening now!

Joie de Vivre Windflush Colour Powder
This is for the girls that do not want too much cheek color. It is universally flattering, sheer, and ultra lightweight. Very natural and healthy looking. Laura's powders are really luxurious.
Laura Mercier

Shimmer Brick Compact
Shown in Pink Quartz, this is really my very favorite blush. The powder is exceptionally fine, and a little dab will do ya. Also, I use the brown shades on my eyes. And I really adore the beige brick. It's a fabulous way to highlight with just a pinch of color. Each shade in the beige brick also works well for eye shadow. Love! 
Nordstrom

Paul & Joe Beaute Limited Edition Cheek Color With Puff
Included in the mix because I just love Paul & Joe's creative packaging. And how cute are these kittens playing with balls of color? This set comes in two colorways.
Beautyhabit

 Charlotte Tilbury Swish and Pop
I love the idea of this blush. You swish your brush around the outer ring of lighter color. Finish your face with a pop or brighter color right on the apples of your cheeks. Available in six color combinations.
Nordstrom's

Marc Jacobs Beauty Air Blush
Couture color. A new ingredient called, Japanese Air Powder, is the magic in the mix. The striped patterns and shades are inspired by a Marc Jacob's dress. Talk about chic cheeks! Save 15% on your first order with Code: WELCOME15

Sculpt, shape and glow with a high impact wardrobe of both matte and shimmer blushes. Because it is nice to have choices.
Nordstrom  

Argan Infinity Lip and Cheek Creamy Oil
I have been interested in Argan Oil for a while now. This sale (they are only $8) is the catalyst I need to try it. Discovered by beautiful ex model, Josie Maran. These sheer colors are said to blend easily on the cheeks and lips.
