JOSIE MARAN SPRING NATURAL WONDERS PALETTE!

Here’s an interesting fact about me Before the age of 18 I wasn’t really into makeup. Eyeliner, lip gloss, and a hint of blush were my everyday look and I used the same products over and over again. But for the last few years, I’ve become quite the makeup-addict and I now have  a collection that could beat a Sephora store. Although I do have a lot of beauty products, I still get insanely excited when the seasons change, and new batches come out-especially when it’s spring. I recently got the chance to try Josie Maran’s Spring Natural Wonders Powder Palette and this product is definitely rocking my world.

 

  Look at this Gorgeous packaging. Butterflies-reminds me so much of spring.

 

The 5 eye shadows encased in this palette are so gorgeous and pigmented. The shades are:

Daydream-a shimmery apricot

Hope -an iridescent royal blue

Desire -a beautiful teal

Trance-a shimmery gold

Think-a coppery brown

Please excuse the scar on my arm. I burned it cooking about 6 months ago.

But there’s also some serious cheek color in this palette. Illusion which is a gorgeous deep rose, and Fiction a peachy pink. Both of these colors are tan-girl friendly and look absolutely beautiful on my skin.

 

Oh but wait, Josie also includes her lightweight and buildable bronzer Beach #1in this palette as well so you can finish off you look with a stunning sun-kissed glow.

Besides the fact that this palette is a makeup lovers dream because of all of the gorgeous and long-lasting colors, it’s also great because 1) it includes argan oil.  2) Josie Moran’s products do not contain parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, and phthalates.

This is definitely something you want to get in the upcoming months. www.sephora.com

Korres Jasmine Body Milk Does a Body Good

It’s the season for ashy, itchy and scaly skin. After my morning shower, I find myself grabbing one of my many lotions or oils and lathering about 3 pounds of it all over my body. Some work better than others. A new one I’m actually loving is Korres Jasmine Body Milk. About a week ago, while shopping, I saw this body milk on sale and had to purchase! I’m a huge fan of Korres. Their Guava Body butter is one of my staples so I had to try their Jasmine Body Milk. Ever since I used Oscar Blandi’s Jasmine Hair serum, the scent of jasmine has intoxicated me. Such an exotic, delicious, and floral fragrance. Research shows that the smell of jasmine makes you sleep better and gives you a sense of well-being. Jasmine oil is incredibly rare, and the flowers are only picked at night because that’s the only time they bloom. Anyway, not only does the delicious aroma of this captivate me, but this body milk works so well to keep my skin  smooth and hydrated, and the scent lingers the whole day. More than once while sitting next to someone on the subway I’ve been asked what fragrance I’m wearing.  Another reason I love this stuff is it doesn't contain any  Parabens, Synthetic Dyes, Petro-Chemicals, Phthalates, GMO, or Triclosan.

Have you tried any Korres products?

The Power of Silk Pillows

 
ME SLEEPING ON MY SILK PILLOW

I’ve mentioned before that silk pillows are one of my main secrets for keeping my hair super shiny. Cotton pillows will ultimately remove the natural oils from your hair,  and will dry it out. But silk pillows aren’t just fabu for your hair, they are also helpful in prevention of wrinkles.
Dr Schultz from Derm Tv says: "Sleeping on your side can actually cause wrinkles (from your face being pushed against your pillowcase and the creasing that thus occurs, night after night). If you can't avoid sleeping on your side, then spring for some silk pillowcases that can prevent friction between your face and your pillowcases and enable your face to slide as you sleep.”

Do you sleep on silk?

OLE HENRIKSEN BLUE/BLACK BERRY ENZYME MASK

During the summer when my skin gets oily, I tend to use really deep cleansing mud mask but during the harsh weather winter months, when certain parts of my skin feels as dry as the Sahara desert, it’s all about the hydration. My new winter mask love is Ole Henriksen Blue/Blackberry Enzyme . It's  a thick clear gel that my skin seems to adore.



It’s loaded with so many nourishing ingredients, like hyaluronic acid, which is powerful humectant, blue/blackberry extract both fruits are known for their serious antioxidant properties, and papaya enzyme, which is an exfoliant. Anyway, the proof is seriously in the pudding. I use a generous amount and although it says to leave on for 20 minutes, I like to leave it on for 30 minutes while catching up on blogs or watching TV. I then remove it with warm water, and what I’m left with is super silky, smooth and hydrated skin. I can easily walk out of the house without a moisturizer after using this.
A great thing about  Ole Henriksen products is that they don't contain: Sulfate, Synthetic Fragrances Synthetic Dyes, Petro-Chemicals, Phthalates, GMO and Triclosan.

Have you tried this stuff?
