sephora goes mobile
Shopping keeps getting easier. Why even bother wasting your time running to the store to pick up your must have items. Now, you can do it all from the palm of your hand. I’m always recommending Sephora to clients. They have so many cosmetic lines in one place. Beauty on-the-go is a great way to re-order items you know you need. Don’t let it stop you from dropping by the real brick and mortar store. There’s something to be said about touching and feeling new products. It makes for a complete sensory experience. Get the details on how you can set up your own mobile beauty bag.

SUMMER MAKEUP PICKS

LIPTINI LIP STAIN
Long-lasting color in 15 shades, some with shimmer, for all your summer moods. Apply a little for a natural wash of color or use lots of layers for a more dramatic look. Liptini stains don’t come off so your lips remain true to color even while sipping poolside cocktails. Available at www.beautybridge.com
AMAZING CONCEALER
This is a must-have all year round, but it’s especially great in the summer because it is waterproof. A little goes a long way and blends evenly into your skin, erasing imperfections. Amazing Concealer comes in seven shades; use just one or mix a couple to perfectly match your skin tone. www.amazingcosmetics.com
RCK BODY GLOW BODY BRONZER
Available in three colors light, medium, and dark to add a beautiful glow to legs, arms, and décolletage. It’s easy to apply and does not rub off on clothing. Body Glow is fragrance free and contains vitamins A, C, and K for luxurious moisturizing. www.redcarpetkolour.com
L’OREAL VOLUMINIOUS WATERPROOF MASCARA
I don’t usually recommend waterproof mascara, but because this is summer and there’s always a chance of falling into the pool, L’Oréal’s Voluminous Waterproof Mascara in Carbon Black is my choice. Available at your local drugstore.
CLARISONIC PLUS
Summer means less makeup and less clothing, so it’s a good time to kick up skin care a notch. The Clarisonic Plus gently cleanses and exfoliates, giving you softer, more supple skin. And the Plus comes with a body brush, which is great prep before applying self tanner. www.clarisonic.com

Sweet Kisses 
I love when someone walks up to me and pulls out their latest and greatest makeup find! Even when I’m sitting in a business meeting, somehow, we end up talking a little lipgloss. This week, the lovely, Nicole Beurkens, turned to me and said, “Do you have this yet?” With a huge smile, she held up a tube of Fresh Sugar Plum Tinted Lip Treatment. “This is the best!” I took the little tube, and tried it on my hand. Yep! She’s right. It’s just like my teenage favorite Black Cherry Lip Gloss by Clinique…only better. A tint of color, a hint of sunscreen and wonderful feel that left my lips feeling fab! I came hom e, went online to Sephora and ordered two!
Oatmeal for Everyone!
Also, this past week, while on a photo shoot with Melanie Roche, the subject of oatmeal came into the picture. “Your skin is so incredibly clear and beautiful! What are you doing?” She told me about her Kate Somerville skin care routine, and also shared that she washes her face with Instant Oatmeal. Yes. Oatmeal.
Grab yourself a container of Quaker Oats Instant Oatmeal, make it into a paste by adding a little warm water, and cleanse away. Of course I had to try this one for myself. I couldn’t believe how great my face felt after just one time so I thought, “Why not try this on my entire body !” I took a large glass filled with Steel Cut Oats into the shower. A few minutes later, the oatmeal had exfoliated my skin, leaving oh, so soft and smooth.
A few words of caution here; Steel Cut Oats -Not such a great idea.
They don’t dissolve the same way Instant Oats do. When my husband asked, ” So, does it work?” I said, “Yes. Yes. It does. And, you might want to bring a spoon into the shower with you. I think you can eat your breakfast in here.”
Not only does it act as an exfoliate for your skin, it also is gentle enough to use on all skin types, even sensitive skin. It softens and hydrates the skin, leaving it glowing and nourished.
