La Mer Body Tan - Worth It or Not?




Luxury tan is no longer a dream since it appears that the renowned skincare line company La Mer has come out with a lotion for the face and body promising to deliver gradual tan. But for a whooping $85.00 per bottle it is my opinion that the beach should come with it!!! Seriously, I am all for quality beauty products, and often find myself on the brink of bankruptcy due to my undying love for skincare products no matter the cost, but even I have my limits. To be fair, I haven't personally tried this product, nonetheless, an item so versatile and quickly gone through should not cost that much, especially since there are so many other alternatives that do the exact same thing at a fraction of the cost. So here is my question to my sweet readers, where do you draw the line between cosmetic love and obsession, and sheer label love and devotion? Do you buy products for what they are or who they are made by?

Drape Textured Coat

 
Nothing better than a designer sweatercoat to keep you warm on those early spring crisp nights on the town. Always stylish and flattering whether you're wearing a simple jeans and a t-shirt or a cute dress. And the cream colored, wrap around, and belt details on this particular one makes it that much nicer and sexier to wear on a romantic dinner date with your loved one...
 
This pictured Oasis textured wrap coat drape is a perfect choice.

Coffee Time

 
 
There is nothing more that I love to do then enjoy a nice cup of coffee with my love. Though it is not particularly fancy or unique, I love the time we share together over a cup of caffeine goodness.

Dior Swan Lipstick




The Dior Swan lipstick in the new nude collection is one of those special colors that you will love and cherish for years to come. The perfect "pinky" nude, it looks good on almost all skin tones and truly wears off beautifully. An absolute must have in my makeup collection and the one I reach for when I want to feel most confident and feminine.

Chanel CC Cream

 
 
 
 
 
Chanel's newest fusion of skincare and makeup is one of this year's most anticipated beauty products. Backed by true expertise, this Asian secret to flawless skin combines five actions in one single step. The CC Cream is a skincare lover's best friend to put is mildly. The benefits of this miracle product are endless to say the least, however I will list its five primary actions that make the skin appear flawless and glow with natural beauty. They are:
 
1. SOOTHES. Cornflower water comforts sensitive skin.
2. MOISTURIZES. Hyaluronic acid helps maintain hydration level all day long by trapping and retaining moisture inside the skin.
3. PROTECTS. SPF 30 and PA+++ sun filters block aging-accelerating UVA-UVB rays. A mineral filter guarantees higher tolerance on the skin.
4. PREVENTS. An active ingredient of natural origin, Rejuvencia, provides the best shield against external aggressions.
5. EVENS OUT IMPERFECTIONS. Redness, dark spots and pores are visibly diminished.
CC Cream's are the most talked about beauty items and Chanel's version is a must try for me. How can anyone pass up an opportunity that has the potential to make your complexion visibly even-tined, fresh and radiant. It sounds very promising and I will surely include this in my future posts if it truly does what it claims to do...

Beauty Favourite: Amore Pacific Skincare

Among my many beauty obsessions, the one that is at the very top of my list is proper skincare and good quality, life changing products. The reason for this is because no matter how well you apply your makeup, and how wonderful you look with a painted face, what really matters the most is the quality and healthy of your actual skin. And if you do not have a good canvas to paint on, then there really is no point piling on all that makeup just to cover flaws and imperfections. When I say this, I do not refer to imperfections that could not be treated or that are out of our hands (more on that in a latter post), but those that could be diminished with proper skin care and treatments. Ever woman deserves a luminous, healthy, and almost flawless skin. And although makeup is God's gift to all women, no matter their skin type, color, or age, it is very important to take care of our most precious and most alluring  feature: our face!
 
There are thousands of beauty products on the market ranging widely in price and quality, which is why choosing the right product is more important that anything else. No matter your budget, you can always find good skin care within your own personal budget. Juts because one product is priced highly does not necessarily mean it is the best or the right one for you. Luckily there are so many alternatives that everyone can find something that suits his/her skin type and needs. However, what is important is the purity of the product, what I mean by this is that the less harsh chemicals in a product, the better the results and overall satisfaction you will get.
 
My personal skin care choice is from the Asian skin care line called AMORE PACIFIC, and is from the moisture bound and deep hydration line. Although a little pricey, I find that I works best due to the fact that it is mainly based on botanicals such as Green Tea, Bamboo, and Red Ginseng.
 
Keep in mind that I have dry skin, that is very sensitive and prone to redness. So my choice would not be suitable for those who have different skin concerns. It is an absolute gem of a product, and even though I sometime rotate between different brands and products, I always come back to this miracle worker for my skin.
 
This nature's gift to women can be easily found online, at luxury department stores such as Nordstrom, or the beloved one stop beauty retailer: Sephora.
 
I suggest everyone to take a sample on your next visit to the skin care aisle and give this beauty and skin care must have a try!

Travel Cosmetic Case

After years of tireless search, I have found the perfect cosmetic case to take on vacation. Safe enough to carry even the most fragile things, and big enough to fit all the necessities. I just adore how compact and pretty it looks and stores my prized beauty favourites. It goes without saying that I was sold from the instant I saw its delicate and sweet light pink color.

Burberry Gloves


On a chilly day like today, I love nothing more than taking a long walk around the park, sipping hot coffee, thinking about my most desired hopes and dreams. Of course, I love it better when I get to wear this wonderfully cozy and warm Burberry Gloves that I bought at the beginning of the season to help keep my hands nice and toasty!

Mirrored Vanity


My love affair with mirrored furniture should come to no surprise at all. So when I came across this image of a mirrored vanity I simply could not pass up the opportunity to share my newfound glamourous decor item. Not only is the design stunning, but this piece of furniture houses my cherished collection of MAKEUP!

Not that I needed another reason to spend hours playing with what I call "My Lady Toys", but this sweet addition to my bedroom decor makes play time extra glamourous and fun...
