Brush Break - Sephora's Retractable Lip Brush
What a lifesaver! I'm a germ freak, and I hate sticking my fingers in lipgloss pots (how unsanitary!). Well, nothing is going to stop me from buying the latest and greatest pot-o-gloss. Sephora's Retractable Lip Brush ($12) is the perfect solution for clean and easy application for lipgloss pots. Since it's retractable, it leaves no sticky gloss in your purse or makeup bag. It's super slip and can easily slide into your back pocket. I never leave home without it!

Want a new, luscious look for Valentine's Day?
Follow these steps from Too Faced founder and Creative Director, Jerrod Blandino:
For luscious LIPS:
· Line and fill in lips using the Luster Liner Lip Pencil prior to applying Girls Dig Pearls (they were created to “go steady” together).
· Use the coordinating Luster Liner and Girls Dig Pearls for a multi-dimensional fuller lip look, or mix different liners and glosses for a rebellious fashionista effect.
For a radiant COMPLEXION:
· Apply Chocolate Soleil in my signature “W shape.” Start by sweeping the bronzer onto our Kabuki Brush from side to side. Next, take the brush up from the ear to the cheek, to the nose, to the other cheek and back to the ear.
· To contour, let the tip of the Kabuki Brush peek through the tip of the barrel with the metal slide enclosing the base of the brush. Contour under the chin and cheekbones to create a slim neckline and a thinner face.
· Swipe a little Chocolate Soleil on the brow bone to give the eyes a lift!

Salon Break - Blow Dry Salon in NYC
You may have read on a previous post that I recently visited New York City for work. While I was there I had it in my mind that I wanted to get a manicure in a trendy NYC salon. I did my research and found out that Blow Dry Salon was one block over from my office, and they opened at 8am...perfect! I made an appointment that same day for 8:30am. I was in desperate need of a good manicure.
Blow is known as New York City's premiere 'blow dry bar.' The first salon opened in February 2006, in NYC's meatpacking district, and since then there has been one additional salon opened. In October 2006, they launched their own line of hair care products. The Blow Dry Bar offers, cuts, colors, shampoos, 'blow drys,' eye brow waxing, manis, pedis and makeup application. The decor was airy white and pink, which was super cute and so NYC. I loved that the hair stylists' stands weren't cluttered with junk, and the floor was clean as far back as I could see.
The manicure I received was great, although it was a little uncomfortable since I had to sit in a hair styling chair, and not a manicure table. I picked out Essie's 'My Private Cabana' for my nails and had to buy the color afterwords because I loved it so much. She topped it off with Essie's speed dry drops and I was out the door and on time for work!
