Be a Blushing Bride Any Day of the Week (No Groom Required)!

The talk in my office is weddings, weddings, weddings! One of my co-workers just got engaged (YEAH!), another is awaiting the arrival of the ring, you get the idea...

 

I LOVED my wedding. The planning, well not so much! The reward for months of RSVP lists and table arrangements was getting to play dress up for a day with NY Fashion Week-worthy hair and makeup artists.

 

So, I can't afford to throw the wedding of my dreams again, but be a blushing bride? I can pull off that look any day of the week with Tarte Cosmetics Cheek Stain Cheek Color in Blushing Bride ($30). Lately, I just can't live without it! No, I'm not kidding.

 

This water-based, gel formula is mistake-proof cheek color, which offers a "just blushed" or "rosey romantic" color to the apples of the cheeks. It's super simple to use, even in a low-lit gym locker room, where I get dressed most mornings!


It's alcohol-free, so it won't dry your skin out and it's oil-free so it won't cause crazy break-outs across your face. Perfect for dry summer/winter NYC weather! It's also free of parabens, phalates, sulfates...and more. LOVE!

 

Ever since I discovered it, I just can't live without Tarte's Cheek Stain!

Have you tried it? Tell us what you think!!!


Beauty Buy or Walk Right By? Tarino Taratino Tulle Flower Anywhere Clip

Some of my favorite chic, floral headbands from J.CREW. Hello spring!

 

When I am running (sometimes literally) from the gym to the subway to Starbucks (Tall China Tips tea please) to the office, my hair often doesn't receive the T.L.C. it deservers. Especially if the weatherman has predicted rain. Well then forget it.

 

After my two minutes speed shower, I comb my hair and add a nickle of Curls Rock ultra sticky creme with my head dangling upside down. I scrunch and scrunch as the remaining water drains from my curls with a towel. Once the hair is towel dry, I place one of my oh-so-fabulous J.CREW headbands or clips on and start my day. LOVE J.Crew headbands!

 

Are you ready to ditch your morning routine and step on the wild side? Give the headband a day off and add a Tarino Taratino Tulle Flower Anywhere Clip ($30). These bejeweled floral accessories add a hint of playfulness to any style, no matter how serious. Adorned with Swarovski crystals in floral Tarina Tarantino pattern. The light grey and ink black are my favorite colors.

 

Sometimes you just need to step out of your comfort zone and incorporate something totally unexpected into your look!

 

Are these clips you are dying to buy or something you'd walk right by?

 

Take Cover! Cover FX Camouflage Concealer

"Are you sick or something or are you just not wearing makeup?" - D.J.

 

We're having a 48-hour rainstorm in NYC. This weather makes me want to crawl into bed in my PJs, but it's Passover. Instead of lounging in my favorite torn and tattered sorority sweats, I'm participating in the Passover Sedar in my latest Theory dress with black lace ruffles and YSL heels.

 

I'm trying to hide the indigo under eye circles and redness before I run out the door. When your skin looks tired, blotchy, red and in need of a quick fix, reach for a heavy duty multi-tasking concealer like the Cover FX Camouflage Concealer. This 3-in-1 concealer adjusts to your skin's tone for the best color match possible. It's the golden ticket to hide dark under eye circles, varicose veins on the face, sun spots...you name it! It also acts as a primer - love that! It shields the skin with long-lasting and water-resistant coverage.

 

I may be tired and in need of an extra large skim latte, but no one needs to know that!


What's your skin savior?

Check out J.CREW for the hottest spring must-haves, like the above! All J.Crew baby!
Please note: I did receive an editorial sample of this product to test.

The weather hit a stuning 70 degrees in NYC last weekend and the city went wild! Women were strutting down 5th Avenue in string bikini tops and J. Crew super chic shorts.

 

I've been working on my biceps, triceps, shoulders...you name it...for the past few month in preparation to bare my arms for spring. I've been taking Spinning class daily, doing squats, leg lifts, you name it...I want a spring-ready bod!

 

But one of the most important things you can do to get your bod ready for those super short shorts and tiny tanks is obsvious...shave your legs and under your arms!

 

The perfect razor to get the job done? The Venus Embrace Razor. This rockin' razor has a super flexible head that employs a soothing strip to condition the skin, while it allows you to shave those super hard to reach hard spots and hit those curves. I've never experienced a cut even when shaving those hard to tackle round surfaces like the tops of the knees and the L-shaped curves behind the knee caps. My skin is left silky smooth and short skirt ready.

 

Are you ready ladies...all it takes is get ready, set and shave!

 

What is the one super short fashion must that you are dying to model this spring?

Sealed with a Kiss: The Perfect Spring Lip Stain from Givenchy

I love lip stains! You apply them in the early AM and hours later the same lip color is still vibrant, and perfectly in place. I have to say, I've tried my fare share of lip stains and most dry out lips, cause feathering and chapping. It's a challenge to find a beauty gem that also provides "wow" color to brighten up a glooming, rainy day!

This spring, I've discovered the perfect hot pink to heat up the freezing weather and bring out Spring, at least in my makeup.

Givenchy Printed Lips Tinted Lip Stainer is a richly pigmented tint that goes on smoothly and with great accuracy. My advice: apply SLOWLY! If you color outside of the lip line, make sure you have a Q-tip handy and possibly some makeup remover. But you don't have to be a fabulous artist to get the job done right.

The secrets to this beauty buy? This lip stain goes on matte and utilizes a felt-tip lip pen that delivers the stain. It immediately saturates the lips with lasting, beautiful and bright spring color. This lovely lip color is available in Rose Impression and Pink Impression.

If you brush your teeth or wash your face and need to re-apply, which often causes lip stains to fade, this easy-to-apply lip stain fits in the smallest purse or makeup case for reapplication on the go, if needed.

What's your spring lip must-have? Is it a lipstick, lip stain or lip gloss? Tell us about it!!!
