Coffee Break - Zoya Nail Polish in Katy


Sunday morning...Panera Bread...fresh mug of half regular and half hazelnut coffee...and freshly painted nails in Zoya Katy from Ooh -La-La collection...

Zoya's colors are so rich and bold, and go on really smooth. I used a Poshe basecoat before painting which helps from chipping and makes my nails a lot stronger.

Makeup Break - Bobbi Brown Nudes Collection

“Nude makeup never goes out of style- it’s polished, sophisticated and always looks modern.”- Bobbi Brown


This July, Bobbi introduces her newest take on nude makeup with her 2009 Nudes Collection.



“Nude makeup doesn’t mean monochromatic, barely-there makeup. It means makeup that’s right for your skin,” says Bobbi who has created a new, limited-edition eye palette for fall. The Nude Eye Palette ($60) features eye shadow duos in a sophisticated and universally flattering selection of shades and textures. The eye shadow duos come in our customizable 3 Pan Palette, which can be filled with your choice of any Bobbi Brown Eye Shadow or Blush shades.


Bobbi also introduces a new shade to her iconic Shimmer Brick collection- the Nude Shimmer Brick ($40). Featuring five pure pearl pigments in pink, gold, bronze, beige, and caramel, the shades are designed to be blended together to give all skin tones a soft nude, lit from within glow.



In addition the Nudes Collection includes Caviar Ink Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner ($21) our best-selling liner now in a rich, deep brown shade, and four new shades of Bobbi’s popular Creamy Lip Color ($22) that compliment the Nude Eye Palette and Nude Shimmer Brick.



All of these products will be available from www.bobbibrown.com and Bobbi Brown counters July 2009.

Giveaway Break - Nouriva Repair Moisturizing Cream

Are you suffering from dry skin this summer? Nouriva Repair Moisturizing Cream is the answer. Nouriva Cream is perfect for hard-to treat dry and sensitive skin and does not contain preservatives and is fragrance-free and non-greasy.

With a unique combination of the three lipids that skin needs to stay smooth; ceramide 3, cholesterol and free fatty acids, along with a combined base formula that features glycerin, paraffin, mineral oil and carnauba wax, Nouriva Cream is perfect for every dry part of your body. It features a unique formula of more than twice the amount of petrolatum to water which seals in moisture and keeps hydrating skin for 24 hours.

I keep this cream by my bedstand and use it on my hands at night before bed. I love that it's unscented (the worse is smelling a strong scent before bed) and it lasts throughout the night.
