Yummy Beauty Treats

Posted by Sophie on May 15, 2008

When I’m stressed and want that instant pick-me-up, I often indulge myself in sweet & delicious beauty treats.  Not only do these yummy products smell fabulous but they are also calorie free!  I love beauty products that are fruity, sweet and scrumptious especially on those warmer days.  I almost feel as if I had just eaten a big piece of pie or something.  It’s sure a sweet indulgence!  Pamper yourself with these beauty desserts but be warned - someone might want a big bite out of you cause you smell so yummy!

Above are Emilio Pucci accessories from the spring/summer 08 collection costing hundreds of dollars just for one cosmetic case.  Pucci products are known for the vibrant colors & prints that are inspired by nature.  Below are Sonia Kashuk’s limited edition makeup case and a brush set that reminds me of Emilo’s.  I think they are quite cute themselves and the price is amazing.  Both are available at target.com!

Dollar Lip Gloss - Candy Shop Lip Tins

Posted by Sophie on May 10, 2008

Generously sized and a price to match for such cute lip tins!  I’m a sucker for cute lip glosses.  The Candy Lip Tin is more than a bargain - $1, that’s right only a dollar!  So, what’s there to lose?  I haven’t tried these yet but I’ll definitely get a stack of them.  

There are 7 delicious flavors to choose from.  I want the Coconut Crazed, Frosting Fanatic, Melon Mayhem, and Cherry Bomb.  Can you believe that the shipping cost is more than all 4 lip glosses?  Well, those cute tin cases by themselves are worth it!  Browse more $1 beauty goodies at e.l.f.

 

Show Off Your Beautiful Feet

summer foot care

Look at those sexy feet!  It doesn’t matter if you have gorgeous hair or you are wearing the cutest outfit…but having scaly and stank feet?  No thanks!  Now is the time that you need a good foot care regimen in order to show off the most amazing feet in the hot summer days.  Before you even start thinking about putting on your favorite nail polish, you must first exfoliate & hydrate your feet. 

Make your feet softer by massaging the feet at the end of each day to get rid of the tension and stress.  Also don’t forget to put on SPF on your feet before you step out the door…SPF is not just for your face!  While you can get spa pedicure treatments which is a very pampering experience, the cost can add up pretty quick.  You just need a few key products to give yourself the best foot care treatment in the comfort of your own home!  Here are some of my favorite foot care products.

Delicious Body Treats From Sephora

Posted by Sophie on May 5, 2008

Indulge yourself with these deliciously scented, deeply hydrating body treatments.  Sephora’s body butter and dry oil comes in 12 irresistible scents that you don’t want to go without this summer.  My favorite is the Coconut Almond!  I’m especially obsessed with a coconut fragrance in the summer time.  It reminds me of a sunny tropical beach.  Wear it alone or layer them together for extra moisturization.
