2) Sunflower 2-Piece Set

While its still too chilly to wear this now, I bought it once our vacation was booked.

Its so pretty and comfortable.  Its idea for hot summer days. 

3) Huda Beauty Microshade Brow  

Do you suffer from 90's brow? You are not alone, millions of us do.

90's brow is a condition that many of us who lived through the 90's are now forced to contend with. Back then, we plucked our blows to oblivion and now all these years later, we are still paying the price.

4) Tocca Florence

I normally don't "share" my perfumes. Scent is a personal thing. I don't want to smell like everyone else.

I'm such a sentimental sap though, I can't resist here.

So, 3 months into dating, Chad brought me to an extremely swanky restaurant.

It had bathroom attendants and a huge array of fragrances that were free for anyone to use.

I selected one and LOVED it. It was Tocca Florence. When I saw Sephora was carrying it, I had to have it #beautifulmemories

5) Amazon Sandals

These and the next item on this list are a "tale of 2 sandals" one pair which is pricy and one pair that is very affordable, yet both equally fabulous.

This is the affordable pair.

6) Tory Burch Patos Sandal  

Obsessed is all that I can say here. I LOVE these.

They are a small splurge, true. However, Tory's things hold up SO well. A very worthy investment.

That's all for today! Have a beautiful week, babes!

XO,

Happy Friday, Mes Amies!

Are you ready to relax and unwind this weekend? I am. I have an awful ear infection, so please forgive me if this post is short & sweet.

Earlier this week, I watched another Wayne Goss video. That man amazes me.

His video was talking about using concealer without foundation. No, not using concealer in place of foundation. No covering your face in concealer. That is not what we are talking about here.

This is about moving toward a more natural look, not a more masked look. 

Here is the video from Wayne..

I used a damp beauty blender and blended just as if I was blending foundation.

I was pleased with the finished results.

The photo below is unedited, save for adjusting the light balance as I look it in a more dimly lit area of my office.  Also...do you like the trick I learned for making lips look fuller in the photo below? (just push your tongue against your lips)

Yes, you can see the pore on my nose. You know what though? I'm completely okay with that. I like this, more natural look 100,000,000,000,000 times better than the "real housewives/kardashian inspired" garish look. 

Watch Wayne's video. Give this a try. You just might like it!

Have a great weekend!

XO,

  

Happy hump day, hunnies! How is this week treating you thus so far?

I'm so happy. My hubby & I actually booked a vacation. Its still months away, but just having something on the horizon to look forward too is such a great feeling.

Also, I'm so happy because more of my favorite brands are now being carried by Sephora.

I love Sephora. I have been a loyal shopper since they first came to Boston in 2005. I've had their parent company in my investment portfolio for years as well.

Still, there are a few things in my beauty arsenals that I'd have to go elsewhere to get. Three of those brands are now at Sephora!

These brands are ones that I have been loving for years.

First up...

Oribe

Oribe is amazing. Its very high end and beyond amazing. Its smells so Devine.

My favorite product is their Shine Cream Find It Here . This makes a salon worthy blowout feasible at home.

Next up...

Paula's Choice

Paula's Choice is one of the best skincare lines out there. It has a cult following and for every good reason.

My favorite by them is a favorite of many, their BHA skin perfecting liquid Find It Here

Lastly, Color Wow
