napoleon_perdis_loose.jpg

I love these new Loose Dusts by Napoleon Perdis.  They are going to last me forever! Just a little bit of this shimmer loose powder goes a looooooong way, so use sparingly! Adds a nice touch to your eyeshadow!  Dozens to choose from!

Napoleon Perdis Loose Dusts are highly pigmented loose eye dusts that have optimal shine, shimmer and texture – a Hi-Sheen effect.

Pro Tip
Use Cake Eyeliner Sealer to turn Loose Eye Dusts into a metallic liquid eyeliner or a full bodied shadow crème effect.

What is Pulse Yoga

What is Pulse YogaPulse Yoga is a result of my personal quest to find yoga routines that accomplish much more than other yoga styles. A few years ago I was diagnosed with osteopenia. This is almost osteoporosis, but not quite. I was shocked as I have been practicing yoga for so many years and consider myself to be in very good physical condition. The doctor told me that I needed to do some sort of weight training program. I have never really liked working out in a gym, always preferring yoga. I also did not want to give up precious time allotted to my yoga practice, so I decided to incorporate free weights into my yoga routines.

As a woman in my 50′s, I also wanted more toning, strengthening and increased muscle definition, again without using machines in the gym. So, in addition to the free weights, I added micro movements that primarily target areas such as the gluteus muscles, abdominals, upper arms and lower back. These micro movements within the yoga postures are highly effective with results that are noticeable immediately.

For fall glam zippers, black leather, and biker chic are in—get the look without breaking your beauty budget! Pair chic dark nails in plum, sable, and midnight sapphire with a dark sexy eye, then balance out all that black with a pretty pale lip to achieve Fall’s hottest sweet but hard-girl style.

I was lucky enough to receive some of the new biker chic inspired products for fall and I wanted to share some of my favorites!

I love the new instant dry nail polishes I never have enough patience to wait for the regular polishes to dry. I had a dinner party last night and 5 minutes before people arrived I applied some of Rimmel London’s 60 second nail polish and before anyone arrived my nails were dry and I was finishing up the dinner. I am wearing the new Night Before shade a beautiful dark purple, love it!

Fast, Dark Nails:

Save time and money shopping for that perfect leather jacket and get a quick fix of rocker style with Rimmel London’s 60 Second Nail Polish in Hard Edged and Deliciously Dark. Or try Insta-Dri Nail Colors from Sally Hansen in Uptempo Plum, Night Flight, and Blazing Blue to achieve that perfectly cool and sleek dark nail. With a fast-drying, high-shine formula, both nail colors promise to deliver an instant shot of life to your outfit in 60 seconds or less.

Rimmel London 60 seconds nail polish and Sally Hansen Insta-Dri can be purchased at your local drugstore.

A great mascara the wand is really thin but I found it was really good at separating my lashes so they didn’t clump. With just one coat my lashes definitely looked longer. I like that the tip of the wand is flexible it made it much easier to apply. A great mascara!

Bold Eyes:

Go bold with glammed up lashes from Rimmel London’s Glam’Eyes Lash Flirt Mascara. With sensational volume and maximum length, Glam’Eyes Lash Flirt Mascara will leave your lashes 80% longer and 2X blacker for that absolute lash seduction. Pair with a multi-purpose palette from N.Y.C. New York Color’s Frankly Scarlet Collection Metro Quartets in Glamorous and Femme Fatale. Each of the four longwearing colors glides on smoothly and evenly—use wet for intense color or dry for a more delicate look.

Available at your local drugstore.

I have very full lips so I usually focus on moisturizing lipsticks but I was interested to see how Sally Hansen’s Sculpt & Shape would look and feel on my lips. I applied it waiting for a tingle or sting well none of that happened but in a few moments I noticed it defintiley plumped my lips and filled them out. I could be a lip extra for Angelina Jolie! Anyone looking to perfect their pout give this new Sculpt and Shape a try. (This stuff is seriously plumping I took a picture after I applied it to show how much it plumped my lips)

Pretty, pale lips:

Love the nighttime look but don’t go overboard on dark! Balance your look with a sheer, matte lip color from Sally Hansen to build your perfect pout. Use Sculpt and Shape Lip Color in Modern and Deco to add a touch of pink to your hard-girl look. Almond glycerides maintain your lip’s moisture barrier and save you from those dry fall gusts while the exclusive Elasto-Flex formula helps to maintain a lush, matte pout.

Available at your local drugstore or mass retailer.
