My Beauty Favorites — November 6-12, 2017

It has been a busy week, and I’ve been sick. I am hoping next week is better. It is my daughter Abby’s 18th birthday today! The time has flown, she will be in college next year. Crazy!

This weeks I have two faves I’ve been loving. And amazing eye treatment and sparkly gem-inspired nail polishes:

Talika Eye Dream ($57, on sale at Amazon $49.52) — TALIKA Eye Dream transforms bedtime into an 8-hour long spa treatment for the eyes from the moment you drift off to the minute you awake. Regenerative ingredients and biopeptides will help improve the texture of your skin so it will feel and look softer and smoother in the morning.

What I think: This is a real treat for the eyes! Apply at night around the eye, then rinse with water in the morning. It smooths the eye area and makes you look younger and wide awake! It’s perfect for late nights or when you’re not feeling as well.

Purchase at Amazon and other great skincare store.

Sally Hansen Color Therapy Enchanting Gems Collection ($8.99 each) — Stone cold stunning! Inspired by multi-faceted luxurious gemstones, the Sally Hansen Color Therapy range introduces 6 new opulent shades designed to elevate every autumn look. These contain a patented micro-delivery system that delivers an argan oil enhancing formula, resulting in intensive nourishment and instant moisture for healthier-looking nails. The Color Therapy nail polish needs no base coat so the oil complex can directly contact the bare nail. 9 out of 10 women experienced a noticeable improvement in their natural nails after wearing the Color Therapy nail polish. The polish glides on for a radiant, shiny finish with up to 10 days of fade-proof, chip-resistant wear. Colors are:

Opulent Pearl — Opt for over-the-top iridescence in a glossy white pearl hue Rose Diamond –This dusty pink shimmery shade adds a touch of sparkle to any ensemble Pink Sapphire — Pamper your nails with this luxe electric pink Brilliant Lapis — This royal blue shimmer is a total gem Orchid Amethyst — You’ll be mesmerized by this dazzling orchid tone Smoky Emerald Embrace — evening magic with this blackened midnight teal green

What I think: I love this nail polish formula! It glides on so smoothly and looks so nice one. And it lasts for days and days! These shades are shimmery (my favorite) and so pretty on. Really nice for fall and the holiday season!

My Beauty Favorites — Week of October 2-8, 2017

As it turns to fall (sort of) in Kansas City, I have been taking care of my skin because the weather has been fluctuating between cold evenings and mornings to hot afternoons. My skin has been needing TLC!

So, my faves this week include a natural, all purpose balm, hydrating hand and body butter and fall hues of lip and nail colors in plum:

The Body Shop Amazonian Saviour Multi-Purpose Balm ($10 USD) — Packed with powerful natural origin oils and waxes, this multi-tasking balm helps to revive the brightness and appearance of tattoos, intensely nourishes dry skin and minimizes the appearance of skin marks with a nourishing, 100% natural-origin formula. Inspired by the Amazonian communities that have relied on natural oils to care for their skin for centuries, Amazonian Saviour™ Multi-Purpose Balm is made with just nine, 100% natural-origin ingredients. Enriched with Community Trade organic babassu oil and organic andiroba oil from Brazil. 100% vegetarian and never tested on animals.

What I think: This works well all over, from lips to hands to knees. It is fragrance and flavor free so it can be used by those with fragrance allergies. I love it as a lip balm, but I am using it on my cuticles and skin imperfections, too. It feels amazing on and the 1.6 oz tin will last me a while!

Available at The Body Shop stores nationwide and here: TheBodyShop.com/En

Karité Crème Corps Hydrating Body Cream ($46 USD) –This decadent, dermatologist-developed, hypo-allergenic moisturizer features 30% raw, unrefined shea butter sourced from Ghana (one of the highest concentrations available on the market), organic unrefined coconut oil, sunflower seed oil and an antioxidant-rich blend of rosemary and rooibos extracts.

This helps restore lost moisture and optimizes skin-barrier function while leaving skin smooth, soft and supple. Rich in essential fatty acids and vitamins A and E, it’s safe for all skin types and effective for problem spots such as elbows, knees and feet—and it’s the ideal complement to Karité Shea Butter Crème Mains Hand Cream ($36 USD).

What I think: Another all natural item, the body and hand creams are both rich and hydrating. They have a light scent. Both are safe for sensitive skin and feel really nice on, plus they absorb quickly.

Purchase at http://www.mykarite.com

Rimmel London’s Stay Matte Liquid Lip Colour ($5.79 USD) — Get ready for a bold, matte lip-look that stays on.a new liquid lipstick with high-intensity colour, a velvety matte finish and a long-lasting, comfortable wear.

What I think: Shown in Midnight and Plum This Show, two dark plum colors. Plum This Show has a bit more reddish tones and Midnight is plummy purple. They are both really pretty on. They do stay on for a while, but are a bit drying as most matte colors are on me. I think they are very pretty and affordable, which is great for picking up a few in fun colors!

Purchase at mass market retailers near you.

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure ($7.99) — This all-in-one formula with keratin boasts 7 benefits in one bottle— base coat, strength, treatment, salon color, topcoat, chip resistance and gel shine finish. Complete Salon manicure delivers up to 64% stronger nails and up to 10 days of chip-resistant wear. Plum colored shades available are Plums the World, a soft smokey plum and Society Ruler, a more reddish plum.

Sally Hansen Color Therapy Nail Color ($8.99 USD) –The patented argan oil formula fuses intensive nourishment and instant moisture for healthy looking nails.Up to 10 days of fade-proof, chip-resistant wear. Shown in Exotic Acai, a deep plum creme.

What I think: I like both of these formula. The Complete Salon Manicure has everything you need in one bottle, and I like that it’s easy! But I think Color Therapy is my favorite formula because the color stays on for days and days! And it is good for my nails.

My Beauty Favorites — Week of September 18-24, 2017

Now that it’s officially Fall, I am so excited for the change in season! I want to wear my boots and sweaters, and drink lots of tea and eat apple and pumpkin treats!

But, since it’s about 90 degrees F in Kansas City today, I’ll have to settle for Fall beauty products like the gorgeous Sally Hansen polishes below. I’m also loving some great hair products:

Inspired by rich and vibrant colors, the new Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Fall Collection adds the dose of color and vivacity the stylish woman dreams of. Middle eastern fabrics and vivid Moroccan prints are trending both on and off the catwalk. Sally Hansen has infused their 6 hot limited edition shades with all the exotic street style flair you need this fall for you to feel completely bold. The vibrant, limited-edition line-up features the following beautiful shades:

Marrakeshed From A Rose: Play up your femininity when you don this soft pale blush

Tell My Fuchsia: A deep magenta jewel tone to accentuate your bling

Moroccan Roll: The rich cherry red brings the pizazz

Tagine Supreme: Spice up the everyday with a burnt orange-tinted red

Lan-turn Up: Be the ultimate sidewalk siren with this molten metallic chrome

Magic Carpet: Get ready for an adventure in a ceramic-inspired light blue cream

The all-in-one formula with keratin boasts 7 benefits in one bottle — base coat, strength, growth treatment, salon color, topcoat, chip resistance, and gel shine finish. Complete Salon Manicure delivers up to 64% stronger nails and up to 10 days of chip-resistant wear.

What I think: This collection is really pretty. The three shades in the photo above are the colors that are most like Fall to me. Gorgeous reds, oranges and golds. There are also some pink and blue shades for the Morrocan feel. If you haven’t tried Sally Hansen Salon Manicure, they last so long on the nails and look fresh for days.

My Beauty Favorites — Week of August 14-20, 2017

Tomorrow is the Solar Eclipse! How exciting! Kansas City is in the path. But, I couldn’t find glasses, so I will probably stay inside and experience the darkness without looking directly at it. Then I’ll run outside and check on our animals (goats, chickens, rabbits)!

This week I have been loving a luxe new gel balm cleanser, a mascara that you shake and sandy nude nails:

Eve Lom Gel Balm Cleanser ($60 USD) — Fortify, purify and beautify your complexion with Eve Lom Gel Balm Cleanser, an innovative skincare formulation with ameliorative and regenerative properties. This hybrid gel-to-balm solution melts away makeup and impurities before enhancing the skin with intensely moisturising and hydrating active ingredients.

It is formulated with clove oil, utilised for its antiseptic properties, while eucalyptus oil works to banish toxins and purify the complexion. Energizing Egyptian chamomile oil works alongside shea butter to enhance the skin’s moisture levels. Grapeseed oil is included for the regulation of oil production, maintaining a healthy balance of natural oils while antioxidants defend against environmental stressors. Emulsifying lecithin and botanical extracts such as argan oil and olive oil soothe and nourish, establishing a radiant complexion.

What I think: This cool new cleanser feels so good on! The natural oils and extracts cleanses my skin well and keep it hydrated throughout the day. I love that I’m doing something good for my skin!

Rimmel London Shake It Fresh Mascara ($6.99 USD) — The freshest mascara on the block that won’t dry out or cause clumps. Shake it up to keep it fresh from start to finish. Rock ultra-smooth, clump-free volume from first to last use.

Volume Defining brush with flexible fibers adds volume and separates lashes from corner to corner for a mess-free, defined look. Enjoy flawless, clump-free, smudge-free volume with every application.

What I think: This is a really fun mascara to use. I shake it before each use to freshen the product. It applies really smoothly without clumps. I use about two or more coats to get the length and volume I need.
