I was lucky enough to visit Paris with my husband for our honeymoon. While we stopped in many romantic places during our stay in Europe, I’ll admit there was certainly something simply magical about Paris. I think it was the relaxed, easy-going pace I loved most. When we visited the city of lights, there was no Starbucks in Paris. The expectation for anyone who wished to enjoy a coffee or a sandwich was that you would sit down in a cafe–perhaps for hours–just watching the world go by and enjoying the company of your friends.

Estee Lauder Fuchsia Velvet Pure Color Lipstick Swatch and Review
This will come as no surprise… I am not getting any younger! One of the things I adore about Estee Lauder Pure Color lipsticks in general is the smooth, crease-less application they deliver.

Estee Lauder Illuminating Powder Gelee
When I was pregnant… people often complimented me on my “glow”. Between you and I, I had no pregnancy glow at all. I simply used a gel-based highlighter much like this version by Estee Lauder! Estee Lauder Illuminating Powder Gelee is perhaps the most coveted limited-edition item from the recently released Modern Mercury makeup collection for Fall 2011. As you would expect, this shade adds a metallic bronze sheen to the skin, with a touch of youthful peach. It’s the ultimate warm-toned highlighter of the season.

Arbonne RE9 Restorative Day Creme SPF20
When it comes to protecting your skin, you don’t get an “A” for effort. It’s essential to find a product that contains ingredients that protect against future damage, while improving the look of the skin in both the short and long term.
I’ve been using Arbonne RE9 Restorative Day Creme, and LOVE this product! Not only does the Arbonne formula contain the antioxidant Vitamin C (a must for aging skin), but also has an SPF20 to protect the skin from future sun damage. I love that this Day Creme absorbs quickly into my skin, not leaving an oil-slick behind. Arbonne RE9 Restorative Day Creme wears beautifully under makeup.
