While browsing several of the chic nail lacquer shades at Sephora the other day, my eye caught sight of the glittery polishes by Sephora - right in time for the holiday. One of these limited edition shades in the Sephora by OPI family was the chic...
The OPI Holiday Collection has my nails all a-glitter, as though I were a Sugar Plum fairy from The Nutcracker. The colors from the new OPI Sleigh of Hand collection include: The juicy colors remind me of the Zoya Glitter collection and they evoke the spirit...
Good things — especially fragrances — come in apple packaging. We fell in love with several DKNY fragrances over the past year (especially Be Delicious Fresh Blossom) and although the DKNY apple cart keeps visiting the stores with a new offering every few months, we’re...
The latest by L'Oreal is a Pore by Pore Cleanser that is not only affordable, it's as fun as lego blocks to play with. It has the first ever Scrublet cleansing tool that is embedded in the cleanser itself so you don't have to play...
We've been fans of Philip B's hair care line for quite some time. His clean and simple products give unruly hair a dose of control and shine hair without the weight of grease. That's why we weren't even a bit hesitant to lather up our...
I had the good fortune to attend a blogger event last week where I had my makeup done by Jessica for Sue Devitt Beauty. I had only heard of the line and not really experienced or understood its benefits, but I was wowed by the...
I love a good frothy shampoo and can rival the suds of a beer. And I am always in favor of a sulfate-free shampoo because even though I don't color treat my hair, I know that sulfates in general any derivative of sulfuric acid should...

This is a new series of posts I am starting . It's basically a daily lookbook with makeup I'm wearing or makeup that I love. Today's flavor: I am wearing L'Oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara (a little bit goes a long way on my lashes because it...
We love the fruity and lightness of this perfume (we recommend it for the teenager). This set includes a 3.3.oz Eau de Toilette Spray, a Body Lotion and a Shower Gel.
Hanae Mori Butterfly Perfume Gift Set ($60)
We love this (ahem) Butterfly themed perfume gift set for several reasons. First, the fragrance, which is a blend of berries and flowers that doesn't smell like a Magnolia Bakery cupcake. It has notes of strawberries and almond. The bottle is absolutely stunning, almost like Lalique, and naturally the top of the bottle represents the ethereal-looking butterfly wings. This set includes a 1 oz Eau de Toilette Spray, a Roll On AND a scarf.
Sephora Favorites Collector's Edition Fragrance Sampler for Her ($75)
If your recipient is undecided, has many moods or loves the entire gamut of perfume notes, then you'll want to get her this. It includes seven samples from top-selling fragrances including Juicy Couture's Eau de Parfum, Ralph Lauren Romance, Marc Jacobs Daisy, DKNY Be Delicious, Dior Addict, Givenchy Very Irresistible Givenchy, and Stella McCartney. It's like giving her a chocolate sampler box.
Marc Jacobs' Lola ($45-$85)
This is one of the blockbuster 2009 perfumes and we love it because it embodies a very spirited, playful yet sexy girl who loves to take risks. And the notes of peppercorn, pear, ruby red grapefruit create a sparkling cocktail that will aim to dazzle. There are warm notes in this fragrance too: those of vanilla and warm tonka beans. For a Limited Time, enter the code LOLA on checkout and get a free cosmetics case, mini rollerball and lotion if you buy the 3.4 oz perfume.
Oh, and we love the Lola Limited Edition Perfume Ring!
D&G Le Bateleur Gift Set ($69)
Dolce & Gabbana's Le Bateleur perfume set has so many notable fragrances that it's a shame to gift only one.This is a seven piece set and includes a case and sampler of all five fragrances including a full-size $65 value 3.3 oz Eau de Toilette Spray of Le Bateleur (#1), which I think is the most romantic of the D&G new fragrances. It has a blend of aromatics and vetiver. The set also includes L'Imperatrice (#3), L'Amoureux (#6), La Roue de la Fortume (#10) and La Lune (#18).
Banana Republic Republic of Men Gift Set ($49)
We love this gift set from Banana Republic for the man in your life -- and it's so attractively priced at $49, how could you pass this up? It's masculine with dewy sage and basil and it has a sexy hint of sandalwood. We're crazy about it.
Victoria's Secret Velvet Amber Blackberry Fragrance Gift Bag ($19)
Some astute critic once said that if brown velvet could talk, it would speak with Alan Rickman's voice. An attractive thougth, yes? No one objects to hearing velvet. Victoria's Secret goes even further in the velvet sensory experience by attempting to capture the smell of the fabric with their latest addition to their Parfums Intimes, Velvet Amber Blackberry. The sweet, dark scent of blackberries take center stage, with amber and Turkish rose playing supporting roles. And how can you pass up this beautifully priced gift bag?
