Mineral make-up will change the way millions of women around the world present their beautiful faces.  Its light texture provides a flawless finish, however, the biggest complaint is always - THE MESS.  The 'Swirl, Tap, Buff' can often leave a trail of mess all over counter tops and vanities.  Minerals Mate, custom-designed by Molly Badgett, has solved the No. 1 problem by containing the mess in a beautiful tray.  The other bonus is that is provides a more hygienic application.

A Quick Solution for Sensitive Skin

I live for a quick make-up remover and one that doesn't irritate my skin.  
Many days I apply make-up up to three times a day and by the nighttime I rarely think to remove it. 

Comodynes Urban Cosmetics, originators of the popular makeup remover towelette, introduces a new formula for sensitive skin.                                                     
Micellar Cleansing Wipes by COMODYNES

Micellar Cleanser
The micellar technology effectively removes makeup and impurities, while respecting the balance of sensitive skin. They effectively replace harsh liquid cleansers, toners and eye makeup removers.  These cleverly packaged towelettes stimulate micro-circulation, while providing immediate moisture and freshness.

It is Parabe-Free!

Minty Fresh Nails

To a gal like me, nothing says "Yummmmm..." like a bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream or a box of Girl Scout Thin Mints.  Most of us have inhaled a box in our lifetime, yes - YOU there.  The unfortunate reality is that I along with most women gain weight simply by looking at a Cold Stone Creamery or Marble Slab store.

What is it about that savory flavor that mixes an herb with delicious chocolate? Aside from the flavor, the allure is the minty green COLOR.  There is something muted and so soothing about it...
You want it, don't you??
I have discovered an array of 'fat free' options of achieving the same euphoric feeling in this seasons' beautiful minty hues...Today I used Essie's 'Turquoise & Caicos'.  It looks stunning on my nails and surprisingly acts as a new neutral.  It took three coats to achieve the color.
My minty mani.
If you are looking to truly capture the mint chocolate chip feeling, design house Yves Saint Laurent have released a Manicure Couture Duo in No. 7.   This would make for a truly unique french mani that would garner a lot of attention!!!
Until your cheat day, indulge in the next best thing with color. No calories, ladies.

Eyes Bright Open

As every mother knows, the days are long and sometimes the days are lost.  Many of us struggle to remain at the top of our game in our jobs, our school, even to our loved ones.  It is so easy to reach for that pair of yoga pants instead of a cute pair of jeans.  I know, I have two sons that are in grade school.

Our faces take the brunt of our stress, our eyes are darken, puffy, and yet - they are still beautiful.  I want to share with you a few of my tricks to keep my eyes bright and ready for the day.  Fake it till you make it, I say.

For the new mom I suggest Tarte's EmphasEYES™ Inner Rim Brightener ($18), availiable at Sephora and Ulta.  I use this pencil just as it suggests, inside the inner eye rim.  The result is a subtle brightening that lasts all day.  The feel is creamy and very easy to apply.


For the momma with a toddler just learning to walkwho gets into everything, I suggest Benefit's EyeBright ($20), it is as versatile as you are. I use this to cover my dark circles, enhance the outer and inner corner of my eyes, and even below my eyebrows.
