I was at Target recently, and looking for an everyday lipstick. One that won’t fade, and will last for hours. I looked through all the major brands, Cover Girl, Max Factor, Maybelline. I finally settled on Revlon’s ColorStay lipstick, and I absolutely LOVE it. I loved it so much, in fact, I went back and bought another one – in a different shade. My favorite shade is Rich Raisin (see below).

This lipstick would make the perfect stocking stuffer!  It’s extremely affordable, and it’s a great product!  Give it to the woman in your life this year, and make them happy!  Great present – and it won’t cost you much at all!

This lipstick goes on smooth – then quickly dries and sets. It stays on, almost all day. Through eating and drinking, it remains beautiful, and I’m so happy to have found such a great (inexpensive) lipstick!

Lipstick so soft and smooth you won’t believe it’s long-lasting. Exclusive formula with SoftFlex® for hours and hours of luscious, feel good color in one smooth step. Stays gorgeous, stays creamy, stays on. In 30 full-coverage and 6 sheer shades.

You can find this at your nearest drugstore!

I have fallen in love with almost every Anastasia product I’ve tried. This was an easy pick for my Christmas Must-Have.  It seems like an odd product, but it’s absolutely wonderful!! I highly recommend it!

One of the products that I’ve found myself using more than just about all of them, is Anastasia’s Tinted Brow Gel. I avoided it for a while, because I couldn’t imagine putting something shimmery in my eyebrows. But one day I tried it, and I absolutely LOVED it!

It makes my eyebrows look like I’ve given them highlights! It’s kind of hard to describe I guess, I’ll just tell you that I love it, and it will be a makeup staple of mine from now on!

For those with thin, sparse brows, this unique, botanical formula actually plumps the hair follicle, giving the appearance of fuller, thicker brows. The combination of cream and gel effortlessly defines and fills in brows while controlling and shaping without flaking or fading.

The non-greasy formula can easily be removed at night with a facial cleanser or makeup remover. Housed in a sleek, portable tube that allows for precise, no-mess application, Anastasia’s Tinted Brow Gel is perfect for instant brow touch-ups – anyplace, anytime, plus it’s the must-have tool for any beauty-savvy woman.

I was recently sent a sample of this new Private Collection perfume by Estee Lauder. I’ve tried it a couple times, and without fail – every time I wear it – I get stopped at least once and asked what I’m wearing. It really makes an impression on those who smell it.  This product would make any woman happy this Christmas!

“Great fragrances create a world of their own.” –Aerin Lauder

In creating Private Collection Amber Ylang Ylang, the second fragrance in her Private Collection, Aerin Lauder drew inspiration from the luxurious simplicity of her own private world. The fragrance captures the essence of an enjoyable evening in a warm, inviting room filled with the luxurious textures of wood, velvet and cashmere in browns and golds.

“To me, a perfect evening is a private one, spend at home with family and friends,” said Aerin Luader, Estee Lauder Senior Vice Presient and Creative Director. “Private Collection Amber Ylang Ylang represents the relaxed intimacy and quiet comforts that we love to come home to at the end of the day.”

Rick with texture and surrounded by warmth, Private Collection Amber Ylang Ylang subtly evokes the legendary fragrances of the past yet invites you into an intimate, private world of today. From deep within this very modern, warm, luminous fragrance emerges a carefully crafted bouquet of Golden Amber, Ylang Ylang, Bulgarian Rose, Honey, Incense, Vanilla, and Sandalwood.

The richness of Amber and Ylang Ylang combined with the luxurious depth of Sandalwood and Vanilla.

The second fragrance in Aerin Lauder’s Private Collection. Warm and inviting. Luminous and intimate.

The Parfum Spray is the jewel in the collection…the purest expression of the Amber Ylang Ylang experience.

The sleek bottle features a cap embedded with natural semi-precious gems. Tiger eye, smokey quartz and red agate stones have a glowing, fire-like brilliance. The shapes of the stones on each cap are different, making each one unique.

When the weather turns cold and rainy I love to take a long hot bubble bath to relax. I love to have a candle burning and maybe a

glass of wine to complete the experience. The new Harry Slatkin candles from Bath & Body Works smell amazing, and help set the mood for ultimate relaxation. My favorite new scents are Frosted Cranberry and Tree scent from the Holiday line.

This is the smell of a fresh cut Christmas tree in a little candle. Due to allergies we are a fake tree and house Harry Slatkin’s Tree scent  has the perfect scent of a real fresh cut tree without all the sniffles.
