amazing grace








Styles and trends may come and go but one thing that always remains the same is the need for incredible beauty products that pamper and perform.  April is but only a few days away and springtime beauty routines are definitely what my skin craves right now.  Just like we have been slowly peeling back the layers, our skin is also ready now to shed the heavier colors and coverage and reach for sheer washes and pretty glow enhancers.  One must-have I'm coveting as we speak is this illuminator from Nars.  It's glowly, ethereal quality imparts the loveliest lit-from-within brightness to my skin.  The same effect can also be found in a stick formula via The Multiple and this Stila All-Over Shimmer Duo.  A great skincare routine is similarly essential to any makeup-optional days you may wish to enjoy.  This silkening liquid from SK-II is rich with nutrients and feeds your skin all the goodness it needs as it hydrates, refines pore size and tone, improves firmness and leaves your face with an unmistakable radiance I just love.  For the body, this luscious whipped concoction from my favorite fragrance brand smells amazing and leaves my skin feeling pillowy and baby soft everywhere.  If you've never tried it, give it a go once and I promise you'll not know how you got along without it.  Don't forget a pretty pout before you head out the door.  Some many makeup lines have really stepped it up lately with newly formulated lip colors the combine treatment, shine and color in the most silkening formulas imaginable.  This lip plumper by Laura Mercier hydrates and moisturizes my lips and smells amazing and, unlike typical lip plumping products, it gives you a cool, minty feeling with no stinging.  Ahhh, I'm so ready for those April springtime days ahead and the great results these blushing beauties will give.  You can shop all the items I'm using in the links above and below and get your glow on too.  Happy spring!

Happy New Year! Whenever January rolls around everyone seems to be making their resolutions for the new year.  For me, I find goals to be so much simpler and a lot easier to achieve. So many of you along with family and friends always ask me for ways to look and feel better.  These ten beauty boosters are some of my favorite picks for getting gorgeous.  Start each day fresh faced and flawless with this decedent cleanser by Eve Lom.  While yes, it's bit pricey at the outlay, the things it does for your skin and the way it softens and smooths is beyond compare.  And, it lasts forever.  I always couple it with my tried and true absolute favorite tool, the Clarisonic.  If you own it, you love it.  If not, trust me, get one. Now.  Your skin will thank you and never be the same.  This curling wand gives my hair the perfect amount of soft, bouncy curves with shine for days.  The fact that it doesn't have a clip on it was tricky at first but so worth the learning curve.  Be sure to become best friends with the heat glove it comes with.   It will save you from all those painful fingertip burns, haha.  These hair vitamin supplements will keep you healthy and your hair lush.  I especially love how quickly they make your locks grow longer.  Finally, while it's nothing new for me, if you are looking for a beautiful, feminine fragrance that you can't live without give this one from philosophy a try.

I hope everyone's new year is off to a beautiful start.  Thanks for stopping by!

Inspired by all things pretty, pink and well, perfect, I decided to use the alphabet for inspiration on today's post.  It's amazing how many ideas came to mind.....here are a few.
 
 
 
P is for...



Some not pictured here...pedicures, pinterest, pendants, pillows, pencil skirts, peep toes, patent and pebbled leather, pleats, pave and pops-of-color.  Which of these particular pretties personifies you?
