neuLASH

A mini neutral tone kit for lips. MAC'S Lipglass is one of my very favorite glosses. A $40 Value for $26. 

Beachwaver® Pro Professional Rotating Curling Iron

96% of users have experienced, smoother, softer, and healthier looking skin after using this cleaning device. I am one of them. Many of the systems are now on sale, but prices go up August 7th.

Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips Set

Have you tried Charlotte's lip products yet? The lip color goes on like a pillow. It makes your lips feel soft and look fuller. This set comes in two colorways: Hot lips Nude or Hot Lips Perfect Pink.  Talk about a pretty pout!

Sigma Beauty Brush Set

I could not live without my Sigma Foundation Brush!  I have been using it since January, and it really has made a difference in the application of my makeup. It's specially priced and an Anniversary Sale Beauty Exclusive.

Lancome Lash Lovers Collection

This collection is for our eyes only...until August 7th. I love the Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover. It is best in its class, and a nice value!

The Best Bronzers For Summer

Exfoliate! Get A Fresh Face For Fall

Let's start Fall with a fresh face, shall we? One of the best ways to get a clear complexion is to exfoliate. It is something I love to do. The process is simple, takes very little effort, yet makes a big difference. I love the way my skin looks and feels after exfoliating. For me, it is all about the youthful glow. Who doesn't want that? Then there is the softness factor....like a baby's bottom.  If you aren't exfoliating yet, why not give your face a fresh start for Fall? 

HERE: Eight Tried & True Exfoliators 

Kate Somerville Exfolikate
From the skin guru to the stars, Kate Somerville. This is my all time favorite exfoliating product. This is a serious exfoliation with fruit enzymes. My skin feels smoother, brighter and more hydrated after just one use. It takes only two minutes to work, too. I do not have sensitive skin, and had no problem at all with this product. If you do have touchy skin, there is also a version for you.
Kate Somerville

P.S. the ExfoliKate Cleanser is great, but it alone, won't give you the same results as the ExfoliKate. They work well together.

Laura Mercier
Flawless Skin Face Polish 
This is a lovely product. It is extremely gentle and very creamy. It doesn't take much to do the job. Purifying microbeads (you barely feel them) remove dead skin cells, and emoilents soften the skin. Perfect for daily use.
Nordstrom  

Farmacy New Day Gentle Exfoliating Grains
Ms. Shop This treated me to this product last Christmas. Oh my gosh, I just loved it. The scent, if any, was that of baby powder, or something very pleasing with a soft aroma. The natural ingredients are good for you without all of the chemicals that are not.  Read the reviews at Sephora, where it is exclusively sold.
Sephora 

Fresh Beauty Sugar Face Polish
The first "scrub" that I remember trying. It was good then and still is. First of all, it is packed with good for your skin ingredients. In fact, it smells so good, you just may want to eat it! If you have been wanting to try it, now is the time. Nordstrom's has a free gift with purchase of Fresh Beauty products.
Nordstrom  

Clarisonic Mia
This is my secret weapon to my best skin possible. I have been using it for several years, thanks to my friend, Mollie. It truly is a gift that keeps on giving. Nothing, not even a face cloth can cleanse and exfoliate better than this magical machine. 
Clarisonic 

Erno Laszlo White Marble Treatment Bar
If you are a soap and water girl like me, you are going to love this soap. I have long been a devotee of Laszlo's Sea Mud Soap until my Neiman Marcus beauty expert introduced me to this.  Love, love, love it! Read all about it at
Neiman Marcus 

Philosophy the Micro Delivery Peel

A two step process that is totally worth it. First of all it smells like fresh squeezed OJ....then there are the instant brightening results. This award winning product does what it promises to do. I haven't had it in a while. I think it is time to try again.

Philosophy

DIY Honey Facial Scrub

If you are a purist, or just can't pay $30 and up for exfoliating, try this. I just did last week. It smells considerably better than most scrubs, and you can actually eat this one. I must admit, I did not use raw honey. Next time, I will. It worked great!

Summer Smiles & The Right Lip Color

What's In My Bag? Beauty Products That Work

With the change of seasons, we change our clothes and accessories. But do you

change your beauty regime? My skin   begs for a change, now that Summer's 

glow and bronze is almost gone. My face needs brightening and my eyes need 

darkening. Beauty and I go way back,
to the days when I was "The Love Girl"
at Marshall Fields and did a little runway
modeling. I know my way around a 
powder puff and a tube of lipstick. 

Here: 9 Of My Must Haves

Clarisonic Mia
You haven't cleansed your face (and body) until
you have tried this cleansing system.  Love it's
ease of use, the way it holds a charge, and what it does for my pores. I really feel this machine helps.
See a video and shop the selection at 
Nordstrom's

You may also save 20% on a smaller selection
of Clarisonic Beauty tools at Beauty.com. Just
click the link and then search "Clarisonic". Your
20% will then be added to your cart.

Serious Skincare Replicate and Renew Plant Stem Cell Hair Care Duo

Serious Skincare Replicate and Renew
Plant Stem Cell Recharging Hair Lift Spray
What a difference a day can make. From the first 
day I used this system, my long, fine and thinning
hair became alive again!  My husband noticed after
the first shampoo.  The thickening is amazing!

Two notes.  It does have a bit of a botanical scent, meaning it smells "green." Doesn't bother me at all.
And the shampoo doesn't lather like others I have
used, but I think that is a good thing. See It at
HSN

NARS Illuminator in Orgasm 
No, it's not my sparkling personality, its the
lit from within look on my cheeks from this
little wonder.  A collection of light reflecting
liquids create an incandescence on my cheeks.
It can be worn as blush alone or over another
color. LOVE it! Get it for 20% less until the 9th
at Beauty.com

No code required. Just click the above link and then
place "NARS Illuminator in Orgasm" in the 
search box. Your 20% will be seen at checkout.

ERNO LASZLO Sea Mud Deep Cleansing Bar 5 oz
I have used this soap for many years. It's expensive,
but it lasts for such a long time (at leasts 6 months) I have normal skin and it cleans and gently exfoliates without stripping oils. Quite interesting to me, Jackie Kennedy was a Laszo devotee. Good to know, their acne care line is really excellent! Now is the time to try and save on this system at
Beauty.com

Save 20%. No code required. Just click the above 
link and place "ERNO LASZLO Sea Mud Deep Cleansing Bar" in search box. Your 20% will be seen at checkout.

Trish McEvoy 'Intense' Gel Eyeliner Pencil

After searching for the best eye pencil forever, I finally found it! It is an intensely dark and gentle liner that glides on effortlessly. Most pencils tug on the eyelids. 

And though, not stated, I find it to be waterproof. I have have cried a river while wearing it.

Nordstrom's

Stila Eye Shadow in Kitten

Hands down, my favorite eyeshadow shade.

This pretty nude beige is great for all over the lid.  Love the soft shimmer and deep pigment.

Laura Mercier Almond Coconut Milk Body Butter
My absolute indulgence! It is super rich with skin

softening oils. The fragrance is what I love. Your hubby or significant other will find you irresistible! Also available in a large glass jar. But the good looking tube is much easier to handle.
Nordstrom's

Henri Bendel's Dopp Kit

Created more than 100 years ago, it seems that I

have been using it for almost that long. Made of easy to clean vinyl inside and out. The hinge mechanism keeps this bag open when you need it and securely closed when you want it to be. Love how it lays flat. Terrific for packing. Only at
Henri Bendel
