Before my husband and I head on family vaca, we wanted to spend some quality time together. And I wanted to find the perfect fragrance for our last hot date before the family trip.

The sexiest scent to date? Euphoria by Calvin Klein is a scent that arouses the senses and brings the sexy side out of even the most frigid woman. The fragrance, sexy and sensual. Euphoria is a scent that overwhelms a room with pleasure and temptation. It's essentially sex in a scent.

The fragrance combines Pomegranate, Persimmon, Green Notes, Black Orchid, Lotus Blossom, Champaca Flower, Liquid Amber, Mahogany Wood, Black Violet and a Cream Accord. My husband can smell this scent from the living room (ok, it's a one bedroom so the living room, family room and office blend together).

The scent is chic, sleek and confident. Now, that's the kind of woman I like and respect.

Have you tried Euphoria? Tell us what you think???

What qualifies you as a Jetsetter?

I'm flown to L.A. for less than 24 hours (for business of course), dropped by Barcelona, popped in to Tanzania...well, in retrospect they were actually well though out trips that took months of planning, booking car service and comparing hotels.

This holiday season, as you fly off to Brazil for a quality Christmas on the beach, or head to the ski sloaps for some serious competition, make sure to pack like a jetsetter.

Here are some of my fav. jet setting products this holiday:

An anywhere must: Philip Kingsley Jet Sets
These travel-friendly are available in four different variety to meet your scalp and hair care needs, and each set comes with a shampoo, conditioner, three Elastizer sachets or Itchy Flaky Scalp Tonic. It's sold in a cutie plastic carrying case, so just in case something leaks, it won't ruin all of our outfits for the trip!

I love new makeup, who doesn't? New color palettes, new eye shimmers, lip shades, face powder - I love trashing the old, mutilated makeup and replenishing my stash with sexy new shades for the holidays.

When I discovered Clarins Barocoo Collection, I instantly fell for the seductive palettes, the golden shimmers, the metallic mixture and raven black eye color. Smokey eye anyone?

This is one of those super chic, inexpensive makeup must-haves that can help you revamp your look for the holidays without breaking the bank. LOVE!

Vamp up your lips, mark your eyes with mysterious shadow and enhance your look with shimmer with a hint of blush.

I love getting a manicure and pedicure! What girl doesn't love to be pampered?

So, I was more than excited to hear that one of my all-time favorite clothing and accessory collections, J. Crew, partnered with the nail polish gurus at Essie to create four oh-so-fabulous nail colors for         J. Crew customers-only!

These four shades compliment J.Crew's holiday collection, which is overflowing with glamour, sparkles, studs and shine. And while my husband wants to keep me on a "budget" this holiday season, he can't dare complain about $20 nail polish.

My Hunt for the Perfect Red Lip

My boss often says that bright red lips are one of those statements men will never understand, like flouncy floral tops and animal print. They fall into the category that I've deemed "girl cute" vs. "boy cute." However, I work in an office of almost exclusively women (sorry David & Danny), where red lipstick rules, as do bright floral tops, skinny jeans and super high heels.

Between the beauty and fashion teams, we are constantly on the hunt for the perfect red lip color. It can be a lipstick, lip gloss, creamy pencil or a recipe of all three.

Here are the winners this holiday season!

When I see old posters of My So-Called Life, I'm reminded of just how frustrating age 16 was for me (pre-driver's licsense). The dry and oily skin, redness, blemishes, lack of good makeup...

Then I glance over at my "too cool for school" younger sister and try not to be offended that she'd rather create the perfect smokey eye, text or listen to her iPad Touch instead of shop with her big sis. I try not to be jealous that somehow she has totally skipped the ackward stage that I was trapped in for years!

This year, I found her a beauty gift full of glitz and glamour to keep her doing her makeup, and everyone elses, and persuade her to finally put down her phone!

The tarte Royal Collection Limited-Edition Holiday Palette is a gift of absolute glamour. This holiday palette is stacked with 16 exclusive eyeshadow shades and deluxe sizes of their best-selling glam goodies, including:
