Caudaline Pulpe Vitaminee

So I’ve always been a big fan of the skincare line Caudalie. What’s better than beauty products made from the same ingredients as wine, right? I recently tried out the Caudalie Pulpe Vitaminee line and it’s truly A-mazing. The line was created to stop the first signs of aging and is packed with antioxidant grape seed polyphenols, a phyto-aromatic complex and an assortment of ingredients selected to even skin tone, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and deliver overall skin radiance and vitality. My favorite product from the line? Definitely the Eye and Lip Cream. It brightens up your eyes while simultaneously diminishing dark circles and puffyness. Plus, it can also be applied around the lip area to prevent fine lines and also to keep lipstick from bleeding.

Beauty Flashback: glam makeup compacts

So I’m really starting to obsess a bit over fancy makeup compacts. As a little girl, I remember how much fun I used to have going through my Grandmother’s makeup drawer and playing will all of her makeup and accessories…I even did this after she passed away (1987) because it reminded me of how much I loved her and how beautiful and classy she was. These three compacts are somewhat reminiscent of my Grandma Betty’s own collection but I also found some great vintage compacts on Etsy for a more realistic feel. I think it may be eBay time…I’m about to start a collection.

Clockwise: Jane Iredale Mini Matte, Jay Strongwater Limited Edition Coral Compact, Lancome Color Design Limited Edition Sensation Effects Eyeshadow Quad

Heat Style Product Roundup

So after years of blow drying and straightening my hair almost every day, I’ve come to really appreciate the value of a good thermal protection product. Here are my current favorites and remember, I judge harshly.

Redken iron silk 07 – iron silk truly lives up to its name. It doesn’t leave hair sticky or stiff and strengthens and protects the hair follicle resulting in zero frizz.
Sebastian Professional Trilliant – This shimmery spray is designed to gently condition hair and adds ultra-light body fora glam finish.
Dove Heat Defense Therapy – besides being super cheap ($4.75 on drugstore.com!), this product smells amazing and leaves hair feeling conditioned and shiny.
