Top 10 Lippies for Spring.

The end of March is here and hopefully that means springtime (warmer) weather is just around the corner. After what seems like the longest winter ever, I am turning my focus to all things spring - lighter and brighter to suit the season. First on my long list is lippies. I have been trying quite a few new lip formulas lately and it is about time I share them with you. From new lipsticks, long-lasting lipgloss stains and just really pretty glosses, there is plenty to love for the lips for spring. Here are my top ten favorite lippies for spring.

Caress® Forever Collection + a Giveaway!

I'm obsessed with turning my bathroom into a daily spa experience. Most people call it a shower or a bath, I call it a spa experience. I don't rush my shower or bath. I use exfoliating products, masks, and scented products -- particularly body washes. I am quite particular about my routine and products. When it comes to my body washes, they need to do a few things; I need my body washes to cleanse (obviously), moisturize and leave my skin scented. I want that scent to last because I am not a fan of perfume. Problem is, most body wash scents fade by the time I get dressed. Problem solved! Caress® has developed an extremely long-lasting scented body wash that actually reactivates each time you touch your skin.

Top 10 Mascaras Under $10.00.

Mascara is a vital part of your makeup routine and it is one of those products that you will use everyday. You will go through tubes of mascara because you need to throw away your mascara every three months. Did you know that? Yes, mascara spoils once opened and you need to keep track of your mascara. You see, mascara lives in the perfect breeding ground for bacteria - a dark, wet tube. Trust me, you do not want any type of bacteria near your eye. Once air gets mixed into your mascara, the formula starts to dry out as well. This is why I am a huge advocate of not spending a lot of money on your mascara. I always shop for mascara at the drugstore.

I have tested a lot of mascara over my 14+ years of testing and if you add that to my years of wearing makeup, I have plenty of experience in knowing what mascara really is the best. I can honestly say that drugstore or mass mascara is some of the best mascara that there is. I firmly believe that you don’t have to spend a ton of money on mascara to get the best look on your lashes. I have tested all of the mascara listed below and the best thing is that all of the mascaras on the list cost less than $10.00.

Eyes on MAC.

MAC makes some of the best eyeshadows. It's no secret that I am a huge fan and I use them routinely. They certainly make enough of them. Problem is, I am constantly using one or two from one palette and then another shadow out of another and grabbing a single here and there to create a look. Well, all Eyes on MAC with a new collection that is simply genius. MAC has taken a great array of their shadows, color coordinated them and arranged them into palettes. There are two 15-pan palettes and four 9-pan palettes for any eye look imaginable.

Look Fabulous Not Frozen with Dr. Brandt needles no more™.

I've reached a certain age in life where I need Botox and yes, I get it. The plan is every four months. I did my homework when selecting a provider and go to a local plastic surgeon that is very well trained. I don't get a large number of units as to look frozen. I want to look like me, just a more fresh version of me; more relaxed if you will. Dr. Brandt has created a new topical product that is designed to do a very similar thing as a correct placement of Botox does, though temporary, and my goodness IT WORKS! It is called needles no more™ and for the next few weeks, you have a chance at trying this instant wrinkle relaxing cream for free.

Is Dr. Brandt needles no more really a temporary Botox in a bottle?
