I wish I had....

I have so many areas where makeup is stored. You will find the downstairs bathroom, the upstairs, my purse, my car, the guest room, and the hall closet FULL of cosmetics...but I am always wishing for more. I am sure you can relate ;) Most of these products I have used in the past, and some I have recently seen and not yet played with!! These are the items on my wish list that I need to buy this month...


1. Impassioned Lipstick by MAC 
While working in the Cosmetic departments, I have always LOVED this color, but for some reason I have never bought it...IT'S FINALLY TIME!! This is a vibrant pink with a tinge of orange.
2. Lollia Eau De Parfume Breathe
I have seen this in boutiques and on many bloggers posts...and today I finally tested it out on my arm. My hubby liked that it was fresh, and I enjoyed it's sweet notes.
3. Kate Somerville Exfolikate
My girlfriend gave me some of this before my wedding to quickly heal my stressed out skin...I love the tingle, and prefer the intense option.
4. The Original Morocanoil oil Treatment 
My hair dresser introduced me to this. It is the only product that has conditioned my hair without it becoming greasy. My hair always feels healthy after a few drops.
5. Amazonian Clay Waterproof Cream Shadow Pot by Tarte
Late at night I was watching QVC and was intrigued because I love Amazonian Clay. Does it really absorb oil like it says???

6. Mint Candy Apple Nail color by Essie
I had two girlfriends rocking this color at a small get together at my house...one mentioned "we should have a nail swap party"........I totally agree, how fun would that be???

What's on your wish list this month??

Radiant Skin

There are a few "Beauty" trends that are perfect for Summer. First, a BOLD coral nail color is a must! Second, a vibrant teal shadow...see here...and RADIANT SKIN!!!

Watch by Michael Kors

To create radiant skin follow these steps:

1. Cleanse, tone, and hydrate skin.
2. Prep skin with Smashbox Photofinish light to control shine.
3. Use hands to apply a pea size of Laura Mercier's Tinted Illuminating moisturizer under eyes, on cheeks, and T-zone.
4. Swipe Smashbox Photo Op Under Eye Brightener under eyes, and gently press into skin with your ring finger.
5. Hide dark circles with Bobbi Brown's Concealer.
6. Shake and than spray Dior Airflash Foundation on Bare Escentuals Heavenly Brush (no need to spray brush more than 3-4 times...you'll have enough to cover the entire face)
7. Use Smashobox's Fan brush #22  to apply Nars blush in LoveJoy. (My secret to a great contoured cheek...start application at the same angle as the top of your ear. Keep the brush closest to the hair line, and sweep brush under cheek bone to enhance your natural shape. Fluid strokes are essential!)
