What's In My Beach Bag? - Borghese Splendore Body Bronzer

I have a history with Borghese products - I'm a huge fan. I love their hand and foot creams, and the Summer Glow SPF 20 Tinted Moisturizer. My newest favorite Borghese product is the Splendore All Over Body Bronzer. It's the perfect shade of bronze for summer. When going out, I use it on my decolletage, shoulders and tops of my legs. It's not orange like some bronzers, and it's not super glittery. It's a perfect bronze shimmer, that would probably be perfect for all skin tones.

There is no twisting to make the powder come out, you just have to turn the brush upside down and the powder distributes evenly. The only drawback is the casing, or the lack there of. If you purchase this, make sure to keep the plastic tube it comes in for storage. I don't like leaving it out without a cap. I want to protect it from any kind of dust.

I've brought this out in my beach bag to dust on over sunscreen. Make sure to put sunscreen on, thoroughly first, and then dust on Splendore on your chest and shoulders to look sun-kissed. You don't need harmful sun rays to look like a bronzed goddess, just use Splendore!

Giveaway Break - De Vine Shimmers


Hi there...it's been awhile since I posted a giveaway, please forgive me! I'm returning with a good one!

Premier Health Concepts added a new product line, called De Vine Lip Shimmers. They launched in 2010, and contain the benefits of wine, mixed into beautifully tinted flavored Lip Shimmers.

Red wine grapes contain powerful antioxidants and wonderful anti-aging properties. Their 100% natural shimmer is made with Resteratrol, a powerful antioxidant that has wonderful anti-aging properties, Grape seed Oil, which serves as a natural moisturizer and red wine antioxidants that contain polyphenols which fight free radicals and help prevent cell damage.

I love these little shimmers! The Vanilla Spritzers are good, sheer moisturizers, and the Rose is a pretty frosted pink. I love these types of balms with tint because I think they are easier to apply without a mirror, and still get even color :)

De Vine Shimmers only come in 2-packs and are available at Walgreens and on DevineShimmers.com for $4.99 a pack.

NARS Fall 2011 Collection


The Fall 2011 collection is resolutely avant-garde. Daring shots of color are tempered with softer, subtler tones. Eyes range from bright true blue to silvery taupe, dazzling peach and matte dove gray. Lips run the gamut from statement-making matte red to sophisticated plum and sparkling champagne pink. A stormy gray nail color adds a mysterious finishing touch.

The campaign was designed and photographed by NARS Founder and Creative Director François Nars. Italian beauty Mariacarla Boscono was chosen as the face of the campaign because of her sophistication and chameleon-like ability to become the character she is made up to portray.

OPI Serena Glam Slam

Loving Serena's Glam Slam Shatter polish! Shatter polish works so well, every time. It's fool proof. Every time I think it's not going to look right, it dries over the base color coat and forms into a perfect shatter effect.
