Rave Fave: Urban Decay Eyeshadow: Get Naked!

I'm a big lover of neutrals, sultry eyes, and colors that shimmer and last.  When I spotted this smorgasbord of hues, I was so excited to buy and give it a try!


I recently dug into this palette, and I LOVE the results. For my photos:

Rave Fave: Bronzer

Pale girls like me want color, and tan girls yearn for a warm glow, too. I've bounced around with bronzers ever since middle school; I've liked some, hated many. I think it can be hard to find the perfect bronzer unless you really know what you're looking for. When I streak my cheeks, sometimes I like a more natural look that appears less orange and not too shimmery. Other times, I don't mind shimmer. This is not one of those times.

Finally, in my old age (ha!) I've found a matte bronzer that helps me to contour my cheeks and give them a healthy looking glow. For a photo of me wearing Hoola bronzer by Benefit to emphasize my cheekbones:

Rave Fave: Preventative Serum

Happy Sunday, beauty lovers! The weather in NJ has been perfect for spending time outside with family and friends. On days like these, you should always remember to keep your skin safe from the sun. A little bit of exposure can help to convert Vitamin D, but more than five to fifteen minutes of unprotected rays can have a harmful effect on your body's outer layer. I'm sure you've been told how important sunscreen is, but did you know how helpful serums can be? Not many people know the benefits of using a preventative serum on the skin.

Rave Fave: Repair Serum

I thought I'd share another one of my favorite products. This one is from the Naturally Ageless line from Burt's Bees. I love the 100% natural Naturally Ageless Intensive Repairing Serum with pomegranate, borage, and evening primrose oils.It slides smoothly over lines and wrinkles, and it's packed with great ingredients to help heal and nourish the skin.

For $25 this stuff works well, and it lasts. I'm hardly an old lady, but I'm all about preventative measures
when it comes to my skin. Does anyone remember my horrific sunburn a few years ago? As my fellow Jersey

Rave Fave: Foundation Primer

Beauty junkies know the importance of a good foundation primer. It smooths out and evens your foundation application, and it can even improve the appearance of skin. 



While I browsed the aisles of my local Sephora I stumbled upon the Laura Mercier section, and I'm so happy I did. I love using mineral foundation, as my fabulous followers already know. When I saw that this line includes a variety of primers, I was sure to grab the mineral one and give it a try. Now, I swear by the stuff. I use it under my makeup, daily.

For some facts about Laura Mercier Foundation Primer for mineral makeup:

Rave Fave: Natural Sponges

I love going to the spa for a facial. There's nothing like the gentle touch of a skin specialist smoothing on products and massaging the skin while relaxing music plays in the background. The sweet smell of natural products working to hydrate and turn back the clock is a moment to enjoy, but one of my all-time favorite parts of a relaxing facial is when the sponges come out to play.  



These natural sponges work to absorb product off of the skin and their texture is so gentle.  I've even incorporated them into my everyday skincare regimen. After massaging cleanser onto my skin, I warm a

Rave Fave: Deodorant



If you're anything like me, you try to be health-conscious as best you can.  One product I've had a hard time finding, has been a long-lasting deodorant.  I've tried countless brands, avoided aluminum products, and suffered the stinky consequences time and again.

Anyone who knows me has heard me quietly apologize after a hug because I use "natural deodorant."  Not anymore!  I can finally hug my friends and family without feeling self-conscious.  I recently purchased a deodorant from my natural health food store, and it works.  No more smelly pits, to my relief.

Rave Fave: Teasing Comb

I love a good tease, & I'm not talking about guys...

It's essential for edgy styles,



glamorous looks, 


and everyday wear.



Teasing can be obtained by using a brush or a wide toothed comb, but the best tease comes from a comb like this:

Rave Fave: Concealer

We all get the occasional pimple or bump.  Sometimes it has to do with hormones, other times irritation & allergy.  To top that off, in my family, we have dark under-eye circles.  When I was a little girl, someone else's mother told me I looked tired all of the time. After that, I became very self-conscious & aware of my under-eye area.  At twenty-four, I've found a concealer that finally works without clogging my pores or making me look like I have reverse-raccoon eyes! It comes in a small pot that fits discreetly in my purse or clutch, & I carry it with me everywhere.

Here is my before picture; I have no makeup on:


See the veins & dark coloration?

Here is my after picture; I have only concealer on:


See how it illuminates the under-eye area.  I normally add a little mineral powder over my concealer to make it more of a matte look, but that's just my preference.

Would you like to know which concealer takes my eyes from dark & tired looking to bright & well-rested?
