Bikini Pink

Bikini Pink is my latest lipstick obsession. Bobbi Brown's NEW Rich Lip Color SPF 12 ($22) is keeping my lips content from morning till night. The base of the lipstick is clear, with pigments to deliver a crisp color with just one swipe. Besides it's unique gel texture, it's moisturizing formula... I'm really loving how well it lasts. It's not a stain, but the color sure lasts like one! I would highly recommend this new line of lipstick to the working girl, the soon-to-be-MRS as she walks down the isle, or someone who tends to have chapped lips. The color options are fresh, simple, and fun.




Stay tuned: I will be doing a collaboration photo shoot and I'm thinking of using Bikini Pink as the main lip color!

Instant smooth, Instant tan, Instant gorgeous!

Readers, I have found a new sunless face tanner that is delicious, flawless, and user friendly. Clarins is well known for their skincare products, however I feel they do best in their sunless self tanners.




Clarins NEW Instant Smooth Tanning($32.50)product offers a perfect glow for any skin tone or type. Here's how to use it, and why I loved it...

1. I did my normal skincare routine in the A.M, cleanse, tone, hydrate...

2. I used a small amount of Clarins Instant Smooth Tanner as a primer before my foundation (Acacia Micro-Pearls – Moisture-absorbing micro pearls plump-up to fill in lines and wrinkles, diminishing their length and depth).

3. It smelled good, and throughout the day remained pleasant (Carmel apple scent).

4. It's color was natural, and gave me more of a radiance-no streaks! (A few people noticed and complimented my glow...So I continued its use to see the reactions...more compliments came my way!)

5. It helped my foundation last longer!!

blushing champagne

For Valentines Day and my Birthday we headed to Napa to celebrate. It was so nice to get out of town and get rejuvenated. The first night we dined at thee most chic restaurant, Tyler Florences' Rotisserie and Wine. I fell in love, from the wine barrels made into chandeliers all the way to the cornbread that melted in my mouth. The second day, we traveled to Yountville, and ate at the famous Gott's Roadside(Formerly known as Taylor's Refreshers.) My favorite winery was Mumm's. We enjoyed a fabulous champagne tasting, sat for a few hours enjoying the view, and finished our tour in the art gallery. Photographer Art Rogers told a sentimental story, thought provoking, and so family oriented. I was captured by the empty chairs...

Prepping before a trip is essential for a beauty addict. I tanned at the booth a bit, covered my precious face, and used my Dior sunless face tanner after. When we travel, I always try to choose my makeup carefully, bringing colors that could pair with any outfit. This trip, I pulled out some old friends... Dallas from Benefit, gave me a great outdoor glow. My lip trio was an assortment of Smashbox: Pro lip liner, Flawless lipstick, and reflection high shine lip gloss. The colors were simple, feminine, and I was able to make it just the right amount of sexy!



I had a fabulous Valentines Day, and I thank everyone who wished me a Happy Birthday.

Beautiful Bright Brides

How's all the bridal prepping coming along ladies? Hopefully you are scanning through tuns of magazines and having fun dreaming of your day as a princess.

I love the trendy "JCrew" and "anthropology" bride, she's detail oriented,yet so simple, she's clean cut and surprises everyone with her love for LOTS OF DIAMONDS...

Clean, illuminating, flawless skin is so ideal for you're day. Less is more in this case...try a wet, nude eye. Let your personality shine through with a BRIGHT coral blush and lip.




XOXO

Mother, you are a Wonder Woman

The famous character Wonder Woman's powers include: superhuman strength, flight, super-speed, super-stamina, and super-agility.

When I think of a Wonder Woman, I think of a mother. I stand in awe to watch her successfully manage a household, work, raise children, and never become sick...and that's just the beginning.

Although mothers are wonder women, I find it common that they have no time for themselves. Here are quick and easy products every mommy should have:

1. philosophy's purity made simple cleansing cloths.
(Keep them by your bed stand so you can wash you're face when exhausted.)
2.Clinique's All About Eyes Serum De-Puffing Eye Massage
(Hint, keep this in the fridge. It will reduce puffiness when you haven't slept much.)
3. YSL's Touche Eclat(Brighten up those dark circles and pick the face up with a few pumps of this high lighter.)

Just for fun, you can also pick up a few items from MAC's new Wonder Woman launch to continuously remind yourself how incredible you really are!

My favorite picks:
JUMBO SIZE Lip gloss...one application needed!



JUMBO SIZE Liquid Liner...



JUMBO colorful Mascara...The teal and purple are delightful :)



So here is to all you mothers, and my MOM especially for being such amazing women.
XOXO
Priscilla
