Clinique Must Haves

Clinique is one of my favorite affordable skincare lines. The products are well formulated and feel very clean and for lack of a better word, clinical. I've been introduced to some products I've never tried before from the line and I just had to share them with you. Here are some of my new favorites.I love Clinique's take the day off makeup remover because it really does take off every little bit of eye makeup and lipstick leaving your eyes fresh and bright and your lips ready for a great lip treatment before bed. One full size bottle lasts for two or three months and I use cotton pads rather than cotton balls with this product. I also stock up on mini sizes at Sephora and they're fantastic for travel.
I used to have dark spots from past blemishes and nothing worked for them until i discovered Dr.Miracles three step acne system and Clinique's Turnaround Radiance Peel Once-A-Week System. I use the two systems side by side and they have drastically changed the appearance of my skin and have visibly reduced my dark spots. The system is extremely simple to use you simply take the little jar filled with a potent toner like serum which you apply with a cotton ball or pad to your face. I like to use the excess on my neck and decolletage. The system breaks down dead skin cells which make your skin appear dull and also evens out your skintone drastically.

ColorOn Eye Envy- Exotic Kit

We all wish we had a personal makeup artist. Well, now you can be your own makeup artist and create dazzling eye looks that look as if they're straight from the catwalk. How? With the new eyeshadow applique kit called Eye Envy by ColorOn you can have professional eye makeup just as easily as you can put on a temporary tattoo. You can take a look at the whole application process here. Each kit comes with five pairs of peel-off mineral eye shadows a setting powder and eyeshadow brush to blend. It really is fantastic. It's definitely a new must have for me especially for events and parties. My favorite of all the kits is of course the exotics since it has couture like animal print designs which look amazingly avant garde on the eyes. Be careful not to over do the rest of your makeup if you choose to go this dramatic on the eyes. There are a variety of kits to choose from so if you want a more subtle look, theres also a kit for you too. The fabulous Eye Envy kits are available at Sephora. I suggest you stock up and prepare to have everyone asking who did your makeup.BEAUTY

Noir Is The New Black

We all know that pure black liners and mascaras give you the most luxurious and impactful eyes. Yet, it's so hard to find just that. The richest black possible. With that said, the search is over for me ever since I've found Noir. The first thing I adore about Noir is the fabulous packaging which is luxe and ultra hip. The products themselves are seamless and silky making the application of eyeliner that much easier. The Noir Jewel Box is one of my favorite products from the line. The eye shadows have just the right amount of shimmer for look-at-me eyes that will dazzle any crowd. Fall 2008 calls for dramatic eyes so stock up on black eyeliners, shadows and more from Noir. Dare to be dramatic.
