I think that this powder might just revolutionize the way we think of our complexions. I think we can all agree that we want to look as flawless as possible, and flawless (as close to it) is what you get from this new amazing powder. This is Make Up For Ever High Definition Powder.

This powder is a completely universal, unbelievable, must-have product for any and every skin tone. You really need to see and feel this to believe it. Even more exciting is that this powder is the first formulation in Make Up For Ever's complete HD Collection.

This formula is incredibly soft and satiny and uses ultra fine, spherical micro-particles made of 100% Mineral Silica Powder. These extremely refined, round micro-particles allow natural and artificial light to reflect off of them, thereby softening and ultimately masking lines and imperfections for a perfect, radiant complexion on
screen and in real life.

Tested by professionals in front of HD cameras, the satin textured HD Powder not only sets foundation and slightly mattifies skin, but completely evens out the complexion for a glowing, radiant look. While the powder is a milky white color in the jar, the formula is utterly translucent once applied to skin, making it the ideal finishing powder for all skin tones from light to deep.

HD Powder is completely talc free and paraben free and will not dehydrate skin. 100% Mineral Silica Powder makes it safe for even sensitive skin types.

This is available at Sephora and Sephora.com for $30.00. Look for a special Kabuki brush to pair with the powder making application super simple coming up in August.

This beautiful Shimmer Powder from Elizabeth Arden was probably overlooked, as it was part of their Everything Glows Holiday Collection. But this powder is stunningly beautiful pearl powder, that gives off just the right amount of shimmer to make - you guessed it - Everything Glow.

Apply Everything Glows Shimmer Powder with the super soft kabuki brush (included!) to everywhere - and anywhere - you want to softly shimmer. It is gorgeous on the top of cheekbones, and dusted where you might normally apply bronzer in the Summer.

My sister called me last night and told me that I need to get this for her.

She was more than in awe of this set from Benefit and said she was putting it on the top of her Christmas list. She also mentioned more than a few times that I would be responsible for gifting it to her. lol

Powder Pop! from Benefit is a box filled with three of it's most popular face powders: Hoola, a bronzing powder; Dallas, a rosy-bronze all-over color; and Dandelion, a soft pink.

As I use both Dallas and Dandelion on a pretty regular basis, I totally understand why she would want this. You see, I like to blend Dallas on my cheeks, over my nose, with a gentle sweep on my chin and forehead, then blend Dandelion over that, just concentrating on the apples of my cheeks. I love the look, and wear it at least a few times a week.  

I guess I should spoil her and teach her my little application routine. I bet she will put Hoola to good use in the Summer months as well!

Powder Pop! is an exclusive to Sephora where it is selling for $30.

This beautiful packaging from Guerlain's Limited-Edition Pucci Meteorites Powder would just so perfectly match my new guest bathroom.

Can I have this just for the packaging? Does anyone have one they can sell me?  lol!

While the powders look like they would create the prettiest glow, I like the fact that they match the scarf print. The shades of fuchsia, turquoise, apricot, gold, pink, and white are absolutely stunning.

"The Météorites are a legendary product of Guerlain's, but the color in this particular one is specific to Pucci. It is meant to powder the face, to give it a matte finish in a translucent way. It's always important to lighten up the face." - Olivier

I think my Mother is absolutely amazing. She is probably the least selfish person I know. Always kind. Giving. Thoughtful. And always there to lend support to those that want it. I am truly inspired by her, and still to this day, wish I could keep up with her! She is so full of life, energy, and love. She is simply amazing - one of a kind.

So, what do I give my most Amazing Mom for Mother's Day? Amazing Grace Mother's Day Gift Set from Philosophy.

I love the entire fragrance line of Philosophy, and I recently got Mom hooked on Amazing Grace, so she should be thrilled to get this wonderful set. 

This Amazing Grace Gift Set includes an Amazing Grace spray fragrance, Amazing Grace shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath,  Amazing Grace perfumed body firming emulsion and an Amazing Grace shimmer powder puff with the lightest scent of Amazing Grace with a hint of sparkle.

This set retails for $65 at Philosophy, and there a few variations of it available at Sephora, beauty.com, and QVC as well.

Mother's Day better hurry up and get here or I just might be over come with temptation and open this beauty up for myself. 

I am so jealous of my mother. I just picked her up from the airport, where she was coming back from a 10 day  Mediterranean Cruise. Can you imagine, basking in the beauty of the Mediterranean for over a week? She said it was incredible, and the pictures are amazing. And she looks so alive, refreshed, and amazing as well.

Well, I didn't make the trip to the Mediterranean, but Elizabeth Arden has created a new perfume line that makes me think (even if just for a second) that I was there.

The line is simply called Mediterranean. And just by smelling the fragrance you become feeling radiant. Maybe a bit sensual and captivating. Yes - those are the words they use to describe the fragrance, and aptly so. Sensual florals combine with creamy woods to reflect the waters and rich texture of the Mediterranean.



The notes in the fragrance:
Peach Nectar Sorbet
Sicilian Mandarin
Damask Plum
Radiant Wisteria
Star Magnolia
Madagascar Orchid
Addictive Sandalwood
Fluid Skin Musk
Golden Amber Whisper

Along with the beautiful holographic design of the packaging, making it seem as if the blue sky is meeting the blue sea, the fragrance will make you forget where you are. It is dreamy and intoxicating.

Mediterranean - The Fragrance, the Collection:
Ead de Parfum Spray
1.7 fl oz $47.50
3.3 fl oz $57.50
Body Lotion $29.50
Shimmer Powder with Puff $35.00
Body Cream $40.00

I have been layering the body cream with the shimmer powder, and just one spray of the EDP. I swear that I smell and feel like I just stepped off the cruise with my mother.

Mediterranean just arrived at Elizabeth Arden, so be sure to stop by and take a whiff soon. I know you will want to bring it home too.

And how beautiful is Catherine Zeta Jones, anyway. She always looks like she just back from the Mediterranean, doesn't she?

I recently mentioned how to get that glow from within look, but what about when you need a little extra glow on the outside?

You go to Target, and pick up Sonia Kashuk's GO WITH THE GLOW SET.

For just $19.99, the retractable kabuki brush is worth the price of admission alone. 

Apply the pinkish opalescent powder any where you want a little pick-me-up. A quick dusting on the tops of the cheek bones and brow bone gives an instant refreshing look.
