Nars has a knack for naming their shades scandalous phrases that evoke sex and glamour. Anyone who has done any beauty reading online or in magazines has heard of Orgasm blush. The have done it again with the lip gloss called Striptease. It is a super sexy nude gloss that lasts and lasts! They call it a "candlelight nude" which I love. It will be absolutely perfect to pair with a dark, smokey eye. SO HOT... can you tell I'm excited?!

The other day I was strolling through a rather foreign land... commonly known as Ulta (we don't have such establishments in the city, I was stuck out in the boonies) and I stumbled apon the sale shelf. I had been to my hairstylist the other week and so we had talked about how Sebastian is completely re-doing their whole line. So all there old products would be discounted at beauty supply stores. Well, what did I find at Ulta? A bottle of Sebastian Texturizer Flexible Bodifying Gel for $8, almost half the retail price! So I thought I'd try it out.

So far , I like it. I rubbed it through my hair before I blew dried this morning and this afternoon my hair still resembled what it looked like post-blow dry! The gel has a rubber-like quality, since it uses silicone, along with natutal ingridients like camomile, to give you bounce and hold at the same time. Go check out your local beauty salon or supply store for any of your other favorite Sebastian products before they are all gone!

I'm not sure when I became addicted to hand cream, but it is a fact of life now. I need to have some in my purse wherever I go. It has to be in a small tube and, most importantly, not make my hands sticky! L'Occitane really knows what they are doing when it comes to hand cream. If you haven't tried their original hand cream, you must! It has just the right amount of shea butter to soften dry, tight skin and keep your cuticles in check, without being overly thick.

The latest, limited edition I might add, scent for their hand cream is Honey and Lemon. I squirted some on in the store and was in heaven. For some reason it reminds me of a summer country day, maybe on a farm or something. The scent is subtle and yet delicious. Pick up a 1 oz. tube online or in stores for only $10 and it will last you a few months a least, a little goes a long way. Try it!

Moisturize Lovely!

As you may have discovered already, Anastasia really knows her brows! I simply fall in love with every product I try from her collection. The latest one I've been lusting after is the Tinted Brow Gel. Once again, it is a one step alternative that delivers stellar results. The color I have, caramel I believe, is perfect for my medium-dark blond brows and with a few strokes I have brows that are in place and filled in just the right amount. I like that it has a tint to it, but the color only goes on my brow hairs, not on my skin, so it looks very natural. Try it yourself, you'll be amazed at what a few strokes can do to clean up your look.

I recently had the opportunity to try a new shampoo and conditioner made with ingredients from the Amazon. Fancy, no? Well I'm not high on the nature kick like everyone else is, but I did enjoy these products because they actually work.

Rahua Shampoo and Conditioner from Amazon Beauty uses a special oil made from Rahua nuts that women in the Amazon use to promote healthy, strong hair. It is supposed to penetrate deep into the hair's cortex to actually repair damaged, broken hair. They also have Paolo Santo oil, which is made from "holy wood." It is a highly coveted substance by shamans and high priests, known for its excellent healing properties. Sounds rare huh?

All I know is I like it. Both smell nice and the conditioner really softens and detangles my hair, something VERY important to me. I have very fine, soft hair but you'd be surprised how some conditioners turn my hair into a complete mess. This one works like a dream. Try it yourself.

Hair Lovely!
