Pink Pearly Glow

I remember being a young girl, secretly playing in my Mother's makeup kit and coming across her Gurelain Terracotta Bronzer, mesmerized by the multitude of colors in one compact! (that probably was the moment I became a product junkie and my desire to become a Makeup Artist was born!)

Since my 20's I have always used Gurelain's bronzer....and am UBER excited about the Limited-Edition meteorites Powder for the Face! (only available online at Sephora) The Meteorites are mauve, white, pink, and gold pearls used to brighten and even skintone. Simply run a large powder brush over the pearls and lightly dust over your face.

Not only is the product amazing but so is the packaging; I love, LOVE, LOVE the chic black case embossed with rhinestones!

Let Him Cum on Your Face....Just Close Your Eyes!

This bit of information should have men around the world dancing in the streets.....spermine, an organic compound found in human sperm, is said to visibly reduce wrinkles and to soften skin. *blink* *blink* (I couldn't make this up if I wanted to! lol)

A Norwegian company, Bioforskning (the name is KILLING me! LOL), has come out with a synthesized a version of the spunk – derived from the tail of the little swimmers – which is now making the rounds as an expensive facial. I am not doubting that benefits of funky spunk but who in the world would PAY for something that most women can get at home for free?!?! (right?)

I wonder if that's why so many gay men have flawless skin???

I digress, my suggestion is to make his dreams come true while you reap the benefits of maintaining youthful skin!

Take on for the team tonight with a smile.

Benefits of Wine

I read up on the surprising benefits of wine during my recent mini-vacation.....most of us know that vino is good for you heart, but it can also knock off extra pounds, fight stains, and make skin glow! (awwww, let's break out the Moscato ladies!!!)


Fat Stopper
The University of Ulm in Germany found that resveratrol, an anti-oxidant in grape skin, inhibits fat storage in fat cells. it also helps prevent obesity-related disorders like diabetes and clogged arteries.


Body Soother
Wine's antioxidants helps heal damaged skin, try this soak from Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore Santa Barbara in your next bath:

Add 20 drops jasmine essential oil

1/4 cup grape seed oil

1 cup Epsom or sea salt

1/2 bottle of red wine


Stain Lifter
Nothing attacks red wine stains better than white wine. Carefully pour white wine onto the stain, and cover with salt to absorb the liquid; shake off salt, blot with club soda, and launder as usual.

Touch My Body

I have used Dove ALL my life, for as long as I can remember there has always been a White Dove bar of soap in the shower.....every once in a while I might change it up to the Pink bar just to be a rebel! lol I digress - Dove has always kept my skin feeling silky soft, anyone who has ever touched my body can attest to that! (wink)


So you know I was SUPER excited when the commercials starting running showing that Dove was coming out with a few new scents - Burst, Refresh, Energize, and Cool Moisture. I decided on BURST because it sounds so powerful and almost orgasmic, LOL! I must say that "Burst" in an understatement, I was a BALL OF FIRE when I stepped out of the shower early Sat morning!!! The juicy scent of nectarine and white ginger had a Diva ready to conquer the world in a new pair of 4" pumps before I even had my first cup of coffee!


Mornings have never been my preference so I was delighted that simply the smell of this product left me feeling energized and might I dare say chipper before 9am - that's powerful! The only thing I was missing was the coordinating body mist! (yep, it's o my shopping list) This might be the perfect Spring/Summer scent ladies - mark my words.

Caress Your Style

Many of you know that I am OBSESSED with body wash to the point where I get very excited when a new one hits the shelves! (I know someone else out there has to get as excited as I, someone, somwhere)

Caress has released a new Skinwear Collection and I had the pleasure of experiencing the NEW! Evenly Gorgeous™ Exfoliating Body Wash with with burnt brown sugar and karite butter, gently exfoliates, and lusciously moisturizes to reveal smooth, even toned skin.


Picture it, Saturday, May 2ND, 2009 at 1:30am - I enter my shower with the Evenly Gorgeous™ Exfoliating Body Wash in hand.......and I almost busted my ass!!! LOL LMAO I digress, once firmly planted in the shower I reached for my puffy sponge and popped the hood on the Caress - INSTANTLY the sweet aroma caught my attention. At first I wondered if it would interfere with any scent that I might chose to wear but after three rounds of suds, I realized that not only had it left a light scent on my skin that wouldn't clash with any perfume or body spray but that my skin felt as smooth as silk!

I choose the Evenly Gorgeous™ Exfoliating Body Wash but there are other scents available: Glowing Touch® Silkening Body Wash & Beauty Bar and Daily Silk Silkening Body Wash & Beauty Bar.

Glow On

Use a self-tanner for a quick step to sun-kissed gams and an even skin tone!

All skin tones respond to DHA which is the active ingredient in self-tanners. In just a few hours Clarins Self Tanning Instant Gel ($32, available in fine department stores) gives legs a bronzed hue.

Pimple Patrol

Q: What's the best way to hide a pimple?

A: Concealer that stays put......but it's not that simple. (sorry ladies) Pimple don't have pores, so concealer can not settle in to stay put. Press a washcloth doused with very cold water to reduce redness and swelling. Apply makeup primer (it provides something for the makeup to adhere to) and then lightly apply concealer directly on the pimple and blend the edges. TOO much concealer or concealing to large of an area will only call attention to the pimple that you are desperately trying to hide.
