I'm fairly certain a case could be made for a mild addiction. Then again, I do have an affinity for a gorgeous bold red lipstick. And of course, a subtle tint is always welcome...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basIt's amazing how much article material I get from a single conversation with my girlfriends. In one chat sesh, we'll discuss everything from hair removal methods to the latest Netflix offerings (p.s. Orange is the New Black, anyone?). Now, I don't want to toot my own horn, but usually in these little meetings, I'm the go to gal for all...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI'm a total sucker for packaging. I will buy something I have no need for simply because I like the box. Puh-lease tell me that I'm not the only one who squeals with excitement and delight when they see an item that is just too cute to handle?

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basJust like I associate Christmas with the scent of eggnog, gingerbread and peppermint, summer has a distinct set of smells as well. For me, summer is filled with fresh, invigorating scents that make me think of lying on a beach with a mojito in hand, even if I'm actually lying in an office chair with bad...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI love my bed. I love going to bed. It's my personal space. It's a time just for me and it's the place I go to unwind from a day at the office and catch a moment's peace. Clearly, beds are important. Because they are where you will end up spending many hours every night, I think your bed should be decked out with everything you...

When's the last time you used one of these? Or maybe you've never even crossed paths with any. It wouldn't be unlikely. Foundation sticks haven't been the popular foundation choice for a while, but I think they deserve some time in the...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI just need to say this: I love blush.
I really, really do. After my foundation and concealer is finished, I feel like my face is just lacking. Blush brings the glow back. I also use it as a contour to define my cheekbones for a pretty flushed look.

Only, there's just like one itty bitty detail that you cannot stand. Maybe the heel is just an inch too high or (ugh!) if only it was a closed toe and not a peep toe!

Yet every so often and especially for a special meeting, date or occasion I go with a fully done eye.
