I love these holiday travel kits from Zia! I just had a mini-break to the coast and brought my Zia travel kit with me for a trial run. I love that all the skincare products I needed came in one pouch I am always looking for ways to save space when packing. 

I used the normal to combo kit and found it perfect for my skin. The  soy face cleanser was gentle and had no problem getting all my makeup off. My favorite skincare items in the travel kit had to be the Seawater Rosewater Mist that felt so good on my skin and the papaya mask. On top of smelling good enough to eat, my skin felt revived after using the mask. Such a great travel kit perfect for holiday gifts just make sure to reward yourself with one!

Now take your lashes all the way to big, bold and beautiful with a sumptuous new mascara from Estée Lauder. NEW Sumptuous Color Bold Volume™ Lifting Mascara delivers sophisticated color for lavishly vibrant lashes that are voluptuous, extravagant and daringly full without clumping.

Combining all the benefits of Estée Lauder’s original Sumptuous Bold Volume™ Lifting Mascara with the added impact of beautifully vibrant color, this daringly divine mascara delivers fabulously full, sensuously curved, all-out seductive lashes that highlight, contrast and frame your eyes with the surprise of brilliant color. Available in a full fantasy of vividly rich, wearable jewel-tone shades of Amber, Garnet, Sapphire, Amethyst and Emerald, Sumptuous Color Bold Volume™ Lifting Mascara makes it possible to instantly take your look from the everyday to the extraordinary!

Luxurious Mousse-like Formula

While conventional color mascaras can be chalky, Estee Lauder’s NEW Sumptuous Color Bold Volume™ Lifting Mascara uses a specific blend of fine pearls and pigments to optimize and achieve rich, sumptuous color.

Made with Estee Lauder’s unprecedented Bold Volume™ formula, this sumptuously rich mascara contains a calculated blend of light-weight gels, polymers, waxes and pigments to lift and plump even sparse lashes into big, lush lashes that are all lightness and flirtatious curl.

The formula’s mousse-like, jellified suspension system utilizes “swollen” water to gently and lightly suspend the ingredients, allowing the use of less wax to add dramatic volume and lifting.

Adding to the exceptionally light base are ultra-light, lash thickening, “Y”-shaped Micro-Lock fibers that reinforce the volume enhancing, airy properties of the formula. These innovative nylon fibers interlock and stack together to create a pillow-like cushion around each lash, filling in even the sparsest of lashes and delivering glamorously rich volume and lift. The fibers are blended with Tack-Flex polymers that have the ability to quickly coat lashes from root to tip keeping lashes, light and flexible while adding exaggerated volume and weightless lift. All the volume without clumping!

Technologically Advanced Brush Design

Sumptuous Color Bold Volume™ Lifting Mascara’s exclusive BrushComber™ brush delivers all the thickening effects of a brush with the definition of a comb thanks to two types of bristle fibers – a softer bristle that grabs hold of the formula to create volume and a more rigid bristle that expertly separates lashes. Together, the fibers thicken and volumize lashes in one fast coat without clumping.

Ideal for even the sparsest of lashes, Sumptuous Color Bold Volume™ Lifting Mascara is fragrance free, ophthalmologist tested, and safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. Easily remove the mascara with makeup remover, such as Estee Lauder’s Take It Away Total Makeup Remover.

Express yourself in a dramatic new fashion this fall with bold, brilliant color and voluptuously full, sensuously curved, all-out seductive lashes. Sumptuous Color Bold Volume™ Lifting Mascara will be available for a limited time at Estée Lauder counters nationwide and on www.esteelauder.com beginning in September 2009. Suggested retail price: $19.50.

Benefits of Shea
Shea has been used for thousands of years as a moisturizer because of its unusually high content of naturally rich oils, vitamins and minerals. The many benefits of Shea include soothing relief from chapped, dry skin; maintaining skin tone; and improving elasticity of skin; and appearance of stretch marks and scars by infusing skin with naturally occurring vitamin E.

Tree Hut® Shea—Certified Organic
Tree Hut® uses Certified Organic Shea in every product. Tree Hut extracts the Shea by mechanically crushing it from the nut, preserving its natural healing properties that can be damaged by other forms of extraction.

About Tree Hut®
Tree Hut® is best known for having perfected the art of using Certified Organic Shea in each product they make. Each Tree Hut® product contains unique, indigenous ingredients that set them apart from all other products of their kind; from crushed almonds and Hawaiian Kukui nut oil, to coconut shells imported from the Polynesian Islands. Tree Hut® products are never tested on animals, do not contain parabens or DM DM and as always, the products are produced in their own facility right here in the USA.

I thought Blake Lively’s dress at last night’s Emmy Awards was beautiful, but her HAIR! UGH! I thought it looked terrible!  The braid is just weird looking! It’s too thick, and too high. I thought her hair would have been so beautiful down, and curly – but this look was a hot mess (at least I thought so).

What did you think?

Mad Men is hands down my favorite show on television right now! Christina Hendricks, who plays the sexy secretary Joan on the show, appeared beautiful as ever at last night’s Emmy Awards.

So how was this look accomplished?

Prepping Christina Hendricks for the evening, her makeup artist Georgie Eisdell says, “The look we went for with Christina had a little 20′s influence. I wanted it to keep Christina’s makeup really fresh, clean and elegant. I prepared her skin with La Mer’s The Moisturizing Lotion – it’s perfect to hydrate the skin with being greasy and a perfect base for foundation.

Next, I love La Mer’s Treatment Fluid Foundation SPF 15 for Christina. It is light on the skin but gives excellent coverage where needed.

Under her eyes I used La Mer’s new Radiant Concealor SPF 25 – a genius product, it goes on so easily and does not cake under the eye.

Before I started on her eye I lathered her lips with La Mer’s The Lip Balm. I love using this on Christina; she has full lips so keeping them hydrated is really important and when it’s time to apply lipstick it goes on beautifully.”
