Happy Thanksgiving! I’m so thankful for my family-especially my wonderful husband & gorgeous little princess-they truly do complete me.

Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Moisturizer

KiehlsFace


A product that I am absolutely LOVING at the moment is Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Moisturizer. I have been using this face cream for about two weeks now and I am in love! This product is a tie between Jurlique’s Day Cream & Olay’s facial cream-I know, odd comparisons! The consistency of the Kiehl’s face cream is very much like Olay’s face cream. What I absolutely love about Kiehl’s product is that keeps my face feeling soft & smooth all day like Jurlique’s day cream. The Kiehl’s face cream is much more affordable than Jurlique’s and the results are just as fabulous!

New Sephora Goodies

I recently took advantage of the Sephora family & friends sale and bought a few things recently. It’s rare to be able to save 20% off at Sephora! I stuck to items I REALLY, REALLY wanted :)


nars


I got the Multiple stick from NARS in Luxor. It’s new & part of the holiday collection this year. It’s described as a “[a]n iridescent pink to be used on eyes, cheeks, lips and body.” I do own two other Multiple sticks as well and I absolutely love them. I don’t have that much pink in my makeup collection-this is a subtle product that can be used anywhere and that’s what I absolutely love about it. I warn you- start off by using this little by little because it is highly pigment and you most definitely do not want to over do it.


I have to admit that it was the cute packaging that attracted me to Philosophy’s new set, The Winter Escape. I am a sucker for marshmallow & cocoa scented body products and I am mostly let down in the end because the scents are usually artificial & overpowering. This is not the case with these products! Also, you can’t beat the price-$25! I adore the Peppermint Hot Cocoa 3 in 1 shower gel & the Marshmallow lip gloss. This gloss keeps my lips shiny for HOURS! It smells like a warm toasty marshmallow-not too sweet, very subtle. The peppermint hot cocoa smells just as authentic- it smells JUST like my CoffeeMate Peppermint Mocha or an Andes mint. YUM! Yet another way to enjoy hot cocoa & marshmallows sans all the calories!


I bought another tin of the fabulous Smith’s Rosebud Salve. It’s my go to product every winter. It keeps my lips so soft & smooth-you can also use it on scrapes, minor cuts or burns & on dry skin. I’ve been using it for about 5 years now and I really wouldn’t look anywhere else because I’m so satisfied with this product.

Navy Blue Love

So, it’s slowly starting to get cold & the holiday season is among us. This is absolutely my favorite time of year! I love drinking hot chocolate on cold days!

I love wearing thick & cozy sweaters-especially this sweater pictured below. Navy blue is one of my favorite colors at the moment-I am also wearing a smoky navy blue eye created with Stila’s smudge pot in Starry Night & just a simple baby pinkish nude lip. But what I love most about the look is the necklace! It looks very vintage inspired to me & it makes a great statement piece without being overly bold. This is the type of necklace that you can wear to jazz up any outfit.

Kiehl’s Imperial Body Balm

bodybalm


I’ve been using Kiehl’s Imperial Body Balm for over a month now and I’ve got to say that I am impressed. It’s totally out of my character to buy high priced body lotions but I wanted to break the cycle that I was currently in. Every Fall/ Winter season, I find myself reaching for the bakery scented lotions and while they smell AMAZING, I still have issues with dry & itchy skin.


When I first sampled the Imperial Body Balm on my arm, I really noticed a difference in how smooth my skin felt. It was noticeably more shiny & soft. The lotion is extremely thick & looks like whipped butter!

A little goes a long way. I really enjoy the scent of the product-it smells very natural & light so I can wear any perfume with it. It does not smell artificial in any way.


PROS: There were quite a few things that sold me on this product: the richness of the product, the scent, and also that fact that it’s loaded with antioxidants. There has been a noticeable difference in my skin after using this body balm. But you have to consistently with using it to notice the change.


CONS: There aren’t too many cons to the Imperial Body Balm other than the price-it’s $42. Some people may not feel comfortable paying that much got a lotion. To me, it was totally worth it-as I said, a little goes a long way plus you get about 8.4 oz so it’s a lot of product.


Great work Kiehl’s, I’m officially a fan!
