The Perfect Naked Pink, 100% Pure Creamstick.

100% natural. 100% Vegetarian. 100% Gluten Free. 100% Pure. Perfect Naked Pink Creamstick . No filter. Were you lucky enough to get one of  +100% Pure   Gift with Purchase bags from their We Love Our Customers  campaign? If you subscribe to my Youtube channel you would have seem my video featuring  Perfect Naked Pink Creamstick . This  Fruit Pigmented (not fruit scented) lip crayon has a very smooth application. The pencil is very creamy, never waxy or sticky feeling, It doesn't take much to reach a desired level of opacity, ensuring the product will last and the comfortable rounded point creates an easy to fill in lip line. It was fairly long lasting and stayed tube-true, never shifting shades or feathering off of my lips.  Perfect Naked Pink Creamstick  has changed my opinion of 'jumbo crayon' style lipsticks and I look forward to trying the other two shades. Did you acquire the #GWP or have you tried the Creamstick collection on it's...

Anthurium, Maleficent MAC Collection

Anthurium   Maleficent   lip gloss The first thing I'll tell you is, start with a lip liner. This formula is unforgiving to any type of lip wrinkle; whether brought on by age, sun damage, or even cigarette smoking.  +MAC Cosmetics   Lipglass skips over wrinkles making them very pronounced, especially when using something as dark and shiny as  Anthurium   Maleficent   lip gloss .

Strawberries + Cream, a LUSH -ous experience.

Blended with  real, organic bananas for moisture, vanilla pods and vanilla extract to combat redness, lemon oil to brighten, and sandalwood to tone,  Sympathy for the Skin  is a very mellow and creamy hand and body lotion .  Don't worry this isn't a fruit salad,  it is very mild in scent. I detect more vanilla bean than banana. The custard consistency is creamier than Dream Cream yet it sinks in just as quickly. I love how it makes my shoulders and arms feel, highly moisturizing yet never greasy.

PHAMExpo, A Summer Makeup Show.

+PHAMExpo   is only 2 weeks away and I wanted to share my shopping list with you. This is my Saturday plan-of-attack, which gives me the opportunity to walk the entire show floor and meet with emerging brands and visit old friends. While my list might appear to be short, I have to account for lines and other members of the Press.

Alba Botanica's Hawaiian Kukui Nut Body Oil.

I can't seem to leave  +Whole Foods Market  without adding a new natural beauty item to my collection. This trip was no different, introducing  +Alba Botanica   Hawaiian Body Oil  with deep moisturizing kukui nut oil. Paraben, phthalates, Sodium Lauryl Sulfat, Sodium Myreth Sulfate and cruelty free, this vegetarian formula is blended with Sunflower Seed oil, coconut oil, soybean oil, macadamia seed oil and sweet almond oil. It is a thicker body care product and you do not need a lot of  Hawaiian Body Oil  to hydrate thirsty body sk in as kukui oil has a  high penetrability rate.   Open the flip top, turn it over and let a few drops come out, turn it right side up and close the lid till it snaps shut before you set it down. I have noticed every time I skip closing the lid and place it on the counter, oil shoots up through the dispenser hole. Kukui nut oil contains very high levels of the essential fatty acids linoleic an...

Star Powder 956 by MAKE UP FOR EVER

This is a turquoise lovers dream. With a golden base ,  Star Powder 956 by  +MAKE UP FOR EVER OFFICIAL   is a shimmering, silky powder that catches the light and gives the skin a unique glow. I wear these as eyeshadow, using Aqua Seal to intensify the shade and the shimmer as it locks the pigments water tight.

A GlossyBox + Bergdorfs Bonus: Diptyque Paris

How did you spend your $25  +Bergdorf Goodman  gift card from the June 2014  +GLOSSYBOX ? I treated myself to something awesomely unusual and yet so helpful: a  +diptyque Paris  Wick Trimmer!  How many times have you jammed your scissors into a candle trying to trim a too-long wick only to gouge the candle or wax coat your cutting instrument? WORSE: What happens when you do cut the burn wick? Yeah, it sinks into the wax so now you have a candle with black blobs of burn wick. NOT SEXY!! This eliminates that! How? The cutting area is the size of a nickel, with raised edges. As you trim the wick, the combination of the wide platform and curb prevent the waste wick from dropping back into your candle. Retailing for $38, if you are a candle lover, you should make the investment in this Wick Trimmer , it's a frustration saver. Beware, Kitten, it is HELLA sharp!   xoxo •Nancy-Lee
