Product Highlight - Paul & Joe

I'm absolutely in awe of the new Paul & Joe Summer 2012 Makeup Collection - Midsummer Nights. This new collection to me is like the magical juice from Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream. The magical juice derives from a flower called "love-in-idelness", which when applied to a person's eyelids while sleeping makes the person fall in love with the first thing she sees upon awakening. The products and colors from this collection truly calls for love at first sight. I've been a long time fan of Paul & Joe Cosmetics and my absolutely favorite product is their Beaute Lipstick #7 Rose Potpourri, it is a constant staple in my makeup bag!

Stay Chic This Fall ~ Five Beauty Items

Finally, the weather has been warming up as we step into the last days of summer.  Before fall is officially here, I'd like to share 5 beauty items that will keep you rockin' in style when it cools down.  I can't stress enough how important it is to have a great skin care regimen along with products that work. Because nothing looks better than FLAWLESS skin. Two beauty items that I always keep in my bag? Blush and lip gloss. I'm loving Chantecaille's Poudre de Perle, luminous cheek color that arrives in its own brush. It delivers the perfect amount of color and cast a beautiful glow, best thing is not having to carry a separate brush. I'm still searching for my favorite lip color for fall but I know it will be a dusty rose color.

Makeup News!

 I'm very excited about the new Two Faced Matte Eyeshadow Collection that will be in Sephora stores July 21st.  You can find them online for now. They are a great addition to the existing Two Faced Eyeshadow Sets.  I love the texture and pigment of these shadows and use them often on my brides.  But I'm so glad they finally have a matte palette for those who don't like shimmers or glitters. Other makeup to try, Guerlain launched 2 limited edition products for the summer.  If you've ever used Guerlain, you know the quality of their products.  The pigments are intense and glide on so smoothly.  YSL is also a brand that offers very high quality of makeup products.  Their new wet/dry shadow gives vibrant color when used wet and dries to a smooth powdery finish. Go to your nearest Sephora and try out all the new, fun products!!
