In a few weeks, Disney will be releasing the movie "Cinderella", inspired by the classic fairytale of the same name. In collaboration with Disney, MAC Cosmetics has created a stunning collection of makeup to go along with the live-action fantasy. Just coming back from an amazing trip at Disney World, I have never been more excited about both the movie and makeup collection.
L'Oreal Paris is inspiring and empowering us to be our own makeup artist by expanding upon their Infallible collection. You see, the Infallible collection of products are long-wearing or never-fail makeup products that last the day. The brand has expanded into a Pro collection which is like a makeup artist collection, but it is for us -- the everyday woman to get creative with our makeup (or not). The products are top notch and really comparable to other professional brands.
The jawline, neck and chest are some of the first places that show age; they are often the most neglected areas when it comes to our beauty routines too. I don't think it was until I started noticing some major sun damage and discoloration thus a lot of wrinkles that I began even using any kind of cream belong my jawline. Shame on me! I am not alone. Women everywhere overlook this area. Good news is that it is not too late when there are good products like Cliniques new Repairwear Sculpting Night Cream available. You see, this cream contains 8 potent ingredients that is clinically proven to help firm the jawline and minimize the appearance of lines and wrinkles including neck lines in just 8 weeks.
I'm obsessed with having soft, smooth silky skin. There is only one way to get it in my opinion and that is by shaving with a Gillette razor. I usually use a Venus Embrace razor on my underarms and a Venus & Olay Razor on my legs. Well, I think I am throwing both of those away because they just introduced a new razor and if you can believe it, this new one is blowing that one out of the water. Introducing the new Gillette Venus Swirl.
For spring, Miliani has brought a touch of Milan to the US with two new collections that touch on super hot trends. While the collections are both separate, I think they go well together and play off each other nicely. One collection is Fierce Foils, which is the first of its kind to mass. It features buildable, highly-metallic, foil finishes for eyes, lips and nails. The second collection is Milani's Matte collection which has an incredible new kind of matte finish. With products for eyes, lips and cheeks; all of the products are very long-lasting and look and feel and amazing -- these are not your average mattes.
NARS Spring 2015 Color Collection is different; it is fresh and nude and absolutely breathtaking. It features Tilda Swinton (the latest face of the brand) in the second of four ‘Portraits by The Artist’, a seasonal series of acts created by NARS Founder and Creative Director François Nars. This is Act 2, and it is a nude scene -- daring, baring, anything but neutral.
"Disrobed tones in spectral effects expose a new natural state. The look begins with a provocative pink shimmer on cheeks. The barely-there effect extends to eyes, where a bold beige base sets the stage for burnished neutrals with lucid depth. Lips are undone in tan pigments topped with a whisper of opalescent gloss."
For spring, Laura Mercier has created a stunning collection called Watercolour Clouds. She created this collection around the exploration and expression of moods and the mood for spring is quiet and relaxed. Laura said that she hopes that the soft, muted and peaceful shades in the collection bring you calm, serenity and balance. It is fresh, with a flush or watercolour color -- just like a pastel painting, and it is breathtaking.
Suffering from acne is not fun. It is the most common skin condition in the United States. Unfortunately, it's not just teens that suffer from acne, more and more women are suffering from acne these days.
So, what exactly is acne? Acne comes about when a pore is clogged in our skin. This clog begins deep within dead skin cells. You see, dead skin cells are supposed to rise to the surface of the pore and then the body will shed those cells (natural exfoliation). But when the body starts making a lot of extra sebum (oil), it keeps our skin from drying out. That means the dead skin cells stick together inside the pore instead of sloughing off. They become trapped inside the pore and a pimple is born. Alternatively, if a lot of bacteria is on the skin and gets trapped inside these clogged pores, they can multiple. That is when you see larger outbreaks and cystic acne.
If you suffer from multiple outbreaks and large cystic acne, I recommend talking to your doctor or seeing a dermatologist. There are a variety of prescription medications and topicals that can help to treat acne. If you get mild breakouts or a few pimples here and there, there are great over-the-counter acne products that will help to get rid of your acne.

I don't know about you, but I spend WAY too much time on my hair. After cutting off over 6 inches last fall thinking it would save me time, I find I am spending more time on my hair these days. It takes time to get the volume and style I want. Following this tutorial, I have been adding some much needed volume to my hair fast.
Nothing perks me up more than a pretty spring nail polish collection. You can give me all the pretty spring makeup, but as soon as I see the polish, I really get in the mood for the season. Zoya Delight is pure pastel, but in an updated flirty way.
