Bobbi Brown Beauty Buys


Bobbi Brown invites us to shop the Spring Forward  Savings Event. Save up to $40 and select a deluxe free gift with $75 orders. See website for details

 It's really a simplified and quality line with easy to wear colors.  Join BB Access like me, (it's free) and get Free Shipping on all orders. Shop all of your favorites or spring for something new. Here are the products that I use daily.


Your makeup looks only as good as the brushes you use to apply it. I have several, and they are all created perfectly to do what they say they will. Above is the Angled Face Brush. I use this brush for contouring.

I received this as a freebie late last year. Generally speaking, I like all makeup to have a glow, and Bobbi has a bronzer that does that, too. I use this bronzer for contour, and the matte works best for that.

This one little jar has changed my skin and the look of my makeup. It's really two products in one ~ a moisturizer and makeup primer. It grips foundation as it nourishes and plumps the skin. It can keep my makeup on for 24 hours { don't ask me how I know that.} Best yet, I adore the uplifting scent of Grapefruit and Geranium.

Vitamin Enriched Eye Base
Another one of my favorites. It has transformed the look of concealer on my face. It revitalizes and hydrates my eyes for a smooth concealer-ready canvas. Wouldn't be without it, but I always buy it on sale.

These slick sticks will light up your lids. I love the ease of application and the long wear. They will stay all day without creasing. I am a bit obsessed. I own the moonstone and dusty mauve.

Highlighting Powder
If you aren't using a highlighter, think about that. This is pink glow, but there are eight beautiful shades in all. I also use it just as a blusher. The powder is super fine. Love it!

If you have experienced sticky gooey lip gloss, this is not that. This formula plumps, shines, and nourishes lips. It's great. The colors shown are: 
Bare Sparkle - Champagne with pops of copper and gold pearl. Kir Sugar - Burgundy with gold, bronze, and silver pearl. Bellini - Neutral pink with gold and subtle red pearl. Colors are fab!

12 Unique Home Finds From Etsy


Etsy is a huge marketplace filled with artisan made goods, but you have to know where to look. I spent a day in their shops and found 12 unique items for your home.  There is something to love for everyone ~  pretty porcelain, chic candles, stylish shower curtains, and so much more.

Contemporary Porcelain Mugs
These are just beautiful! Geometrically inspired with twists and turns. They have been handmade with the finest materials, read more about the products of this Etsy shop.

16 Graces Large Art Sculpture
Handmade in the UK by artist, Elizabeth Prince. It would look sleek and minimal on a white wall, and quite dramatic on a dark wall. It ships for free.

Marble Rolling Pin & Base
This is the prettiest Etsy shop! And you will find lots of gold and white home decor pieces that make wonderful  gifts.
Maison de Ginger Jar

Smoked Lucite Drawer Pulls
One of my very favorite Etsy Shops. Their products are clearly chic and made of lucite. Paired with gold, their pulls, knobs, rods and racks add a very luxe look to any space,

These are so pretty, I think I wouldn't burn them! The entire shop is filled with unique candles. You need to bookmark and visit!

Zebra Ginger Jar Gold Ginger Jar 
Your average ginger jar is not something I generally look for. But a zebra jar is too good not to share. Available in two sizes. Love!

Glass Bottles With Pump
When details matter, these will come in handy. You might be like me. I am very picky about what my sink soaps, lotions, and cleansers look like. They must match the area in which they are displayed.  These beautiful bottles and labels now expand our options!

Modern Bathroom Sets
This Etsy shop offers super unique home decor items like shower curtains with matching bath mats, There is a color and style for every home. Very affordable.

Luxury Designer Pillow Covers
I couldn't pick just one. If you are in the market for new pillows, you will have the best pillow party ever here. Shown are the Ribbon Border Pillows.

Peel and Stick Tiles
I learned last year when looking at condos and apartments in NYC, not all kitchens have backsplashes. (What do you want for $9,000 a month?} This Etsy shop has a wide array of modern, minimalist, Moroccan , and more tiles. They can be removed without any residue. It's a decor detail that can really elevate your space.

Vacay Vibes

As I type, we are having our very first snow in a year. I am not really mad about it, but it does make a sandy beach sound good. With spring break around the corner, you may be thinking about your warm weather wardrobe needs. Here are 12 pieces that would be chic companions.

From patio to pool, this dress will cover you up and get you noticed. And remember, the shoulders are the last body part to age.

Saturdays At Shop This

 

Later this week, the 27th to be exact, Paris Fashion Week begins. I always love seeing the new styles, the street fashion, and the photography of Paris. So today the focus of this post is Paris! 

I absolutely love the collaboration of Frame x  Ritz Paris. The pieces are super casual but fun to own. At least they are less expensive that a stay at The Ritz. See it all at Bergdorf Goodman


Balmain Paris Hair Couture: Found this fabulous stying comb in gold plate. I am not sure who needs this, but it so pretty. Almost a piece of art. 


Paris by Tiny Town: Expand the world of little ones with this magnetic toy set. Suitable for ages 3+


Ceci-Cela Patisserie: I am very lucky to live two minutes from a very fine French Patisserie. If you don't, Gold Belly can hook you up with Buttery French Croissants, Pain au Chocolat, Chausson Aux Pommes or Pain Aux Raisins. They are created by French master chef, Laurent Dupal. They are shipped for free, and ready to serve. Read more...


What To Eat In Paris Right Now, according to Musician Gracie Abrahams


 Palais des Thés: Colors of Tea Paris For Her. Green Tea flavored with Rose, Raspberry & Lychee. It's the prettiest tea ever, made in France. A great gift idea for the tea lover.


Paris Music ~ Not the kind you hear, but the type you wear. 
Jessica Matlin, Moda Operandi Beauty Director, swears by this fragrance. I love the simple bottle and the name. She says that it is one of those scents that becomes one with the body. It's created by Matiere Premiere.


Paris Chic:  Here's your next coffee table book, or a gift for the francophile in your life. It is an intimate and photographic look at daily life in Paris.


Chantelle: Channel your inner Parisian and step up your lingerie lineup. Family owned and based in Paris, this lingerie house has a focus on comfort and fit. I might add it is all so beautiful. It will add the ooh la la to your wardrobe. Shop it at Chantelle or Saks Fifth Avenue


Just Say Oui!  If you love this word as much as I do, head over to Clare V for some fashion and accessories featuring the word Oui!


Chanel: You can't talk about France or Paris without thinking about Chanel. My "go to" fragrance has been Coco Mademoiselle for many years. Their makeup is exquisite. On my radar is a new-ish product, the Water Fresh Blush. It is said to give you a natural flushed finish. I think I will try it.


French Girl Chic: Sandro Paris is having a big sale. You might want to check it out. Love their things!


Whatever you do this weekend, remember accessories are key!
