The glam shades glide on super-smooth with a rich texture and brilliant sheen.

Glistening, on trend stay-true shades glide on smoothly, depositing the ideal amount of saturated color and a rich, dewy sheen.

Love Gourmet Treats? Give and Enjoy Goodies From GourmetGiftBaskets.Com

For a change from my usual beauty reviews, I thought it would be fun to talk about fun treats I recently received — yum!

GourmetBaskets.com sent me a couple of really neat candy and popcorn gift ideas that are perfect for Halloween and Thanksgiving.

Haunted House Halloween Gift Tower ($39.99 USD) — It’s time to eat, drink, and be scary! Inside this fang-tastic four-tiered tower, your little monster will discover a variety of otherworldly treats they’ll find impossible to resist. Complete with ghostly good gourmet popcorn, chilling chocolates, and scarily sweet candies, this spooky arrangement is the perfect way to make this Halloween memorable!

Ingredients:
· (3) Tootsie Roll Midgees – Long lasting candy chews that are packed with cocoa taste and subtle fruit flavors.
· (3) Super Bubble Gum – Iconic pink bubble gum that offers hours of endless bubbles.
· (3) Jawbreakers – assorted – Individually wrapped hard candies that explode with sweet fruit flavors.
· (3) Atomic Fireballs – Round hard candies that erupt with a bold cinnamon taste.

· Buffalo Popcorn by KingOfPOP.com – Handcrafted gourmet popcorn that’s coated in fiery buffalo flavor.
· Confetti Popcorn by KingOfPOP.com – Crisp freshly made popcorn that’s sealed inside colorful fruit-infused candy shells.

What I think: It came out of the box tied with festive ribbons and was so adorable. All three of my daughters wanted to take a box to store treasures in, but I told them it’s a perfect Halloween decoration! I might let them have the boxes later, though.

It has a great candy variety, something for every taste. I ate a few Tootsie Rolls and my kids dug in, too! The popcorn is a neat treat as well! I think this is perfect for grandparents or aunts and uncles to send for family that are far away. Also fun for your own family. Mine sure loved it!

Don’t forget about Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving Popcorn Feast ($34.99 USD) — Experience Thanksgiving dinner like you never have before with this collection of outrageous flavors! Using our perfectly crisp handcrafted popcorn, we’ve recreated our favorite holiday tastes, including tart Cranberry Sauce, succulent Turkey, and sweet Apple Pie!

• Herb Roasted Vegetables
• Buttered Corn on the Cob
• Cranberry Sauce

* Each flavor of popcorn is packaged in a sealed bag for freshness. Each bag is filled with approximately two cups of popcorn.

What I think: This is a crazy fun idea! This popcorn is gourmet and the flavors are so original. We have tried a few of the flavors already — Turkey, Herb Roasted Vegetables, Pumpkin Pie and Strawberry Cheesecake. They were all really good! Pumpkin Pike is my favorite so far, but I’m still trying them!

This would be perfect to send a family member who is not going to be able to make it home for Thanksgiving — maybe a college student or a military man or woman. They can share the popcorn and think of you!

Both of these great gifts and so many more are available at GourmetBaskets.com. I highly recommend this site because of the great packaging and quality ingredients!

OPI Venice Collection Fall 2015

I received samples of A Great Opera-tunity and Venice the Party? I have swatched them (below), two coats each. Please excuse the messiness!

A Great Opera-tunity

Venice the Party?

These are both gorgeous polishes, but they both seem a little summery for me. Luckily, there are many different shades to chose from in the collection, including different shades of red.

A Great Opera-tunity is a really nice cream. I think with three coats, it would have been perfect, but two work well. It is a sweet, light melon color.

Venice the Party? is beautiful! I love a good shimmer, and this one is a fun mermaid (turquoise) blue! Love!

Try A Bold Smoky Eye And Soft Lip Look With FLOWER Cosmetics

Drew Barrymore’s FLOWER Cosmetics line is an affordable way to build a great makeup look. The products are very innovative, but also work very well.

I was sent the following products for my honest review:

FLOWER That’s So Kohl! Kohl Eyeliner in Tell Me No Lilacs ($7.98 USD) Kohl It! This super luxe and creamy kohl eyeliner glides on effortlessly for the ultimate color payoff and intensity. Create the ultimate smokey eye with a built-in velvety, suede-like smudger that allows you to easily create a smokey eye; build, blend, and smudge to perfection. Medium-to-High coverage ensures the ultimate intense eye effect that will last up to 12 hours. Use the “Illu-min-eye-zer” to illuminate the eyes for a fresh, bright, look. Paraben-free, talc-free, phthalate-free, GMO-free and sulfate-free.

What I think: I used this liner to give my friend a bright smoky eye for a wedding she was going to. It was gorgeous alone, but also really nice with the palette below. Add a bit of the Pink or Gold shimmer over it or add the black for a darker look.

FLOWER Shadow Play Eye Shadow Quad in From Dusk Till Dawn ($8.98 USD) — From the new cosmetics range by Drew Barrymore, the Flower Shadow Play Eye Shadow Quad offers four gorgeous shades with color that blends evenly and flawlessly on the eyelid. Ginko biloba extract makes lids soft and supple. It smoothes and brighten delicate eyelids and gives a luminous finish.

What I think: Such a pretty palette! It can give lots of different looks, soft daytime looks and glamorous night looks. Plus, it’s long lasting when used with an eye shadow primer.

FLOWER Zoom-In Ultimate Mascara in Black ($7.98 USD) — Transforming lashes to appear dramatically longer, fuller and defined, this mascara has a unique adjustable brush that twists into 3 different shapes (on the right side of the photo) to let you customize lash volume and length. D-panthenol helps to smooth lashes and stimulate growth while rice wax provides smudge-proof color. Contains a naturally derived gellifying agent for ease in application. Ophthalmologist tested.

What I think: This is an interesting mascara. The more you turn, the shorter and twistier the brush becomes. When it is at is longest, it gives length and the shorter it gets, the more volume. I use two coats, length, then volume and my lashes look amazing!

FLOWER Transforming Touch Powder-To-Crème Blush in A-coral-ble ($12.98) — An exclusive, innovative formula that features exclusive “Liquid Powder” Technology which transforms loose powder into a crème by simply applying to the skin. The result is a flawless, airbrushed, soft-focus effect for face & cheeks. Pigments are encased by “Hydrophobic” powder and give a non-messy, mattifying, medium coverage. It is infused with essential oils to hydrate the skin and sets a quick and non-tacky finish.

What I think: Another cool product! I have used cream-to-powder blushes before, but not powder-to-cream. A little goes a long way with this product. I use it with a brush and blend it in well. So pretty on, and long-lasting.

FLOWER Kiss Stick High Shine Lip Color in Baby Buttercup ($6.98 USD) — A hero product, this high-shine luxury lipstick is infused with emollient oils to help improve shine and allow for a rich, creamy application. It will leave your lips with a pure, intense color payoff.

What I think: I usually favor lighter colors, and this is perfect for me all year round. I wear it with softer makeup in the spring, shimmery summer makeup and bold and darker looks for the fall and winter. It’s super creamy and lovely. LOVE!

Switch Up Your Skincare Routine For Fall

I use different skincare products different times of the year. For example, when the air turns cooler and drier I tend to use heavier moisturizers and oils. The air is so dry in the Fall and Winter in Kansas City, so I need to hydrate!

I have been sent the following skincare for my honest review:

Desert Essence Gentle Nourishing Organic Cleanser ($13.99 USD) — Nutrient-rich Apple Juice brings its natural benefits to this organic facial cleanser that contains no sulfates, harsh chemicals, dyes or fragrances. Aloe Vera, Chamomile and Cucumber extracts moisturize dry and sensitive skin to leave you with a fresh glow, outside and in.

What I think: I have sensitive skin and most cleansers irritate it. This does not. It leaves my skin soft and smooth, and not red at all. It smells like orange juice and soap, which is a weird combo, but it isn’t strong. I would purchase this again because it works well and is at an affordable price.

Available at /www.desertessence.com

Arbonne RE9 Advanced Instant Lift Gel ($46 USD) — Key ingredients in this advanced formula work immediately to make skin feel firm and look lifted. Based on a clinical study of 20 women using the RE9 Advanced Instant Lift Gel, 95% of participants agreed their skin felt firmer and tighter after application.

What I think: As I get older, my skin can definitely use a little lift. I use this after cleanser and toner, before serum and moisturizer (yes, I use a lot of products!). I let it absorb into my skin for a few minutes and I notice that my skin is firmer. I have been using this each morning and like

MD Complete 3-Day Booster Pack ($19.99 USD) — Simple, 3-step regimen designed to replicate the benefits of professional peels. All 3 steps are formulated to work together, so they’re all you need to see visible results in just 3 days. Helps to brighten and even skin tone, reduce the appearance of fine lines & wrinkles, smooth rough texture and brighten complexion.

What I think: I used this three nights in a row (there are three sets of the peel) as directed. It’s cleanser, peel, then moisturizer. After the three days, my skin was so soft and bright, it really helped the texture of my skin. I think for the price, this is something that I can do one a month and it will really improve my skin!

Licorice root extract and vitamin f help revitalize skin’s natural, healthy radiance. rich, soft texture absorbs quickly and provides long-lasting comfort.

What I think: Both of these product are made for dry skin. They also work well on my sensitive skin if used at night (they are a little heavy as day products for my skin). The oil gelee (which is mostly like an oil) works well when my skin is parched. It sinks in and soothes it. The cream is so hydrating and works well as a night cream. I think these will be wonderful when it’s cold and dry out.
