UNII ~ "Sounds like Unique. (without the Q of course)"

2012-05-24T17:22:00.002-07:00

If you've ever met me (even for just a couple of minutes) then you probably know that if it's organized then I am all over it. So you can imagine how interested and excited I was to be able to try out the fabulous makeup palette container from UNII. I had my choice of all of the colors shown above, but in honor of my white Iphone I chose the white to give my phone some companionship :). I was torn between that and the black, but I flipped a coin and the white won.

The container itself is sleek and smart. The outside has an ever so slight underlay of a shimmer (very elegant and pretty)! The size is generous, but by no means clunky or overbearing in any way. The entire top of the container is mirrored and the entire bottom is magnetized.

I was thrilled to be able to consolidate all of my shadows and blushers into one lovely palette. I ended up ordering all new shadows and blushers so everything would look just perfect, and it most certainly does! Once I got the hang of depotting, I really became a pro :) Nevertheless, I decided to add a quick video (see below) to give you a a better idea of what is entailed (easy peasy)!

My Everyday (and night time) Teeth Cleaning Routine

2012-05-23T07:44:00.003-07:00

Butler Dental Floss

This is my all time favorite dental floss. The thread on this floss is ultra thin and extra strong at the same time. This is an all around great product that does what is says it's going to do. The 200 yds is always convenient and generous. Find it

Squigle Toothpaste

I sadly am one of those "night time teeth grinder types." A friend recommended that I give Squigle a try, and I haven't looked back since. The gentle and natural formula tastes good and seems to be working wonders on my periodic dry mouth. Find it

Biotene Oral Rinse

My dentist recommended this to me. There is no burning or stinging sensation (alcohol free) and it is still strong enough to get the job done. Find it

Dr Tung's Tongue Cleaner

Finally I use and adore this very handy and effective tongue cleaner. I use this as well as all of the other products in the morning and the evening, and My mouth (and my dentist) couldn't be happier! Find it

Radius Toothbrushes

My all time favorite toothbrush! The last time I was shopping at Whole Foods a lovely woman asked me which toothbrush I was using. She said that she was very impressed with my teeth :). Even though I have an extremely small mouth, I find these toothbrushes to be exceptionally comfortable and I would even go as far as to say that they seem to have a very "luxurious" feel to them. Not to mention that they they are ergonomically designed, come with either left or right hand handles, and the colors are gorgeous. Find it

Bring a Pop To Your Look With Chanel's Rose Exuberant

2012-05-08T13:49:00.000-07:00

One very quick and rather inexpensive way to liven up a look is with a gorgeous new nail color. I just purchased Chanel's Rose Exuberant to do precisely that. I don't wear a colored polish on my hands, but I do go all out on my toes in the spring and summer. This color is one of Chanel's Rouge Allure Velvet Collection. This color is a hot pink with a slight coral hue, and I can see it working on a wide range of skin tones. You may purchase here

Chocolate Inspirations

2012-04-17T08:41:00.002-07:00

When Marcy over at chocolate and sweets company Chocolate Inspirations requests a review on a couple of new items my overall mood seems to suddenly improve by leaps and bounds. The stars shine brighter, birds sing, and well I''m sure you get the picture. Needless to say that it's been my personal experience that Chocolate Inspirations couldn't create a bad product if they tried. However, if they insist on sending their phenomenal creations for honest critique then far be it for me to disagree and I will happily continue devouring (I mean testing) them. Okay let's begin with the
Gourmet Caramel Corn.

In my opinion this very sophisticated caramel coated popcorn is pure perfection. It's sweet well balanced flavor reminds of of days gone by, but at the same time brings a clear touch of sophistication to an old familiar treat. The ingredient blend is smooth and the corn is crunchy and satisfying. Simply and elegantly packaged inside of a clear wrapping and tied with a lovely bright red ribbon I had serious trouble putting this treat down, but it was well worth a few extra minutes on the old treadmill.

Now, can we talk pillows, specifically Peanut Butter Pillows. If I could have listed two items as #1 quality I would have done so with the Caramel Corn and the Peanut Butter pillows. I quite literally had no restraint where there amazing morsels were concerned. New on the menu at Chocolate Inspirations, these chewy gourmet treats were created by Marcy's partner, artisan chocolatier, and mom Pam. Each "pillow" is made by hand in small batches and delivers an extremely smooth and delicate treat for the taste buds. Chocolate Inspirations is a company that demands and produces only the best of everything and I find that especially refreshing!

My 2012 Sensitive Skincare Routine

2012-04-11T08:15:00.002-07:00

1) Cle de Peau Gentle Cleansing Foam has been my most successful facial cleanser to date. I am one of those extremely sensitive skinned ladies and this magnificent cleanser has been nothing less than a God send for me. The cleanser is very softly scented and leaves absolutely no residue behind.
No over-rinsing is necessary, and all I need to cover both my face and neck are is about one *short* pinky nail's worth of this product which in my mind completely justifies the price tag.. I have had no skin problem issues whatsoever with this product. My skin is also slightly combination and this formula seems to be just right for me. Shop at Saks.com

2) Hydra Feel Comfort Hydrating Water Creme from Yves Saint Laurent has quickly and easily reached "holy grail" status for me. I have always has serious difficulties when it came to any facial moisturizers. Either they were too "active" for my skin, or they left my skin feeling and looking like a greasy mess. I have found this product to be absolutely hydrating, and it leaves my skin feeling and looking smooth, soft, and lovely.Shop at Saks.com

3) Stages of Beauty Regenerative Toner is a very new product on the market. A few weeks ago I had the good fortune of receiving a bottle to test for review and I couldn't be more pleased! Because of my sensitive skin issues I have always been overly cautious and incredibly discerning when it comes to any product that I consider adding to my regimen. This is one item that I really feel completes everything. It contains Hyaluronic Acid for hydration, feels extremely soothing, is ever so slightly very elegantly scented, and seems to make my moisturizer absorb better. I apply it with my Shiseido Facial Cotton (incredible!) and apply my moisturizer immediately afterward to trap all moisture possible. What I really love about this particular Toner is that unlike most others that I have tried in the past, this one doesn't seem to dry my skin out in the least. www.stagesofbeauty.com

4) NIA24 Intensive Recovery Complex--/1.7OZ
is a cream that I apply to my skin before my moisturizer every night. My skin seems to be improving every day, and I'm pretty certain that this cream has quite a bit to do with it. I see definite improvements in tone and texture and I'm especially pleased that there is never any problem with any greasiness. This cream seems to absorb into the skin immediately and I only use about a thin dime's worth at a time which makes this jar lasts about six months. Excellent product in my opinion!

Design Your Own Jewelry At Anjolee

2012-04-09T18:40:00.001-07:00

When one receives a lovely gift one tends to be very grateful. When one receives a lovely gift that just happens to be the exquisite earrings shown above, well one tends to feel both graced and very blessed at the same time. These beauties come via online jewelry manufacturer/ purveyor Anjolee.
Through a bit of research I discovered that Anjolee was founded in 1977. This high-end jewelry manufacturer supplies numerous retail specialty stores across the United States and Canada as well as operating their own website based in San Diego California.

This company is quite unique in that they offer their customer the opportunity of personally designing each and every piece of jewelry they happen to desire. For example, after you choose the specific type of jewelry that you'd like (bracelets, diamond necklaces, diamond anniversary rings, stud earrings, etc) you then have the choice of which metal you'd like the piece to be set in ( 10K, 14K, 18K Yelow Gold, Silver, White Gold, or Platinum). You then choose the weight of the stone that you'd prefer, and lastly decide on the diamond quality that would suit your purchase. The price points in my opinion seem to be quite fair and most certainly more than reasonable and competitive in today's market.
