*Friday Favorites* ~ April 20, 2012

Back from being MIA  - here are some new favorites to try out this weekend!!!

Peach is my New Pink!
Check out below all the great ways to add a hint of Peach to your look for Spring/Summer!


1. Peach Blush

LOVE IT! Peach is the new Pink for Spring! You don't have to use a orange blush to get that peachy glow! Peaches by MAC is my new best friend, it adds a sun kissed glow, yet doesn't overpower my face for a subtle day look.

2. Peach Lip Gloss

I do not leave home without my Chanel Rouge Allure Gloss in Genie. The sponge applicator tip glides the product on smoothly. This is a great way to wear a coral/peach tone on the lips. It is not too much color, so can be used as almost a nude tone - however it immediately brightens up the face!

3. Peach on the Eyes

While you can always use blush on your eyes, and vice-a-versa, there are a few tones that you may want to add to your makeup bag - or your makeup table (if you have as much as me). Bobbi Brown has 2 great colors - Nude Peach and Gold Peach - the difference? Nude Peach is a matte peach shade, while Gold Peach has a shimmer to it. Both are amazing. Use on the lid, or line the outer part of your eyes with the tones for a more fun look! (you can even use them as or over your blush!)

Well, we've done eyes, lips and cheeks - how about peach as an accent piece for an outfit?

4. Peach Clutch

You want to add a hint of color to your outfit, but don't feel you can pull of something super bold? How about a peach colored clutch? It's almost nude and adding that spring-summer fun color to any outfit, makes it more fun! An accessory as simple as this can also be found at stores for any person's budget! Forever 21 has great products, all the way up to BCBG and beyond!

of course...let's now talk about food!

5. Peaches Soaked in Red Wine YUM (Peach Cobbler is great too if you're Under 21)

Need I say more about this? You can even take them out of the glass after they have soaked and mix them with other fruits - or you can soak all the fruits together!

Peach Cobbler is another amazing dessert if you aren't into have wine with your peaches!

ENJOY!

*Friday Favorites*

I can't believe February is already half over! How crazy?! Hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day and are now getting ready for Spring (hopefully it will be here before we know it!)

Check out some great finds - well I think they are anyway - Enjoy!


1. Chanel's Rouge Allure Laque in Empire - the Perfect Red Lip

When you are looking for that perfect bold lip to go with that natural or smokey eye makeup and little black dress - this is it! It is a blue based red, so it really isn't for everyone, but most can pull it off, even if it's worn lightly or over another lipstick. The coverage is amazing and it lasts a few hours without wearing off. It's not drying to the lips and it doesn't bleed. I can't think of anything better to say about it! It is a limited edition so get your hands on it now! $32 chanel.com


2. Using Shadow as Eyeliner

On a daily basis, as well as to all of my clients, I recommend using shadow as liner. It is a softer look for everyday, and allows you to be creative with your makeup! You can use navy or dark greens and purples that you may not have purchased in pencils or liquid. Apply the colors over black liner, or as a substitute. I dare you to try it! Drugstore $5 each


3. OPI My Private Jet

For summer or winter, this color is great for fingers and toes! It's a silvery-grey tone that has flecks of all different colors that in the sun can look rainbow-ish.  Matches any outfit and any color. Not much else to say - simply stunning!

4. Mary Kay Oil-Free Makeup Remover

Definetly a must have!!! I have been using this for years and honestly I have tried so many other makeup removing products, this is my all time favorite! I do use Target makeup wipes a lot, but for removing eye makeup and lipstick that may have stained your lips, this is much better and leaves your skin far less dry than wipes do. The "oil free" makes it great for people with combination to oily skin types, and it is also great for women with sensative skin. $15 marykay.com/nmorabito


5. And lastly, my favorite of all - My Award! =)

Sorry, had to throw that in there =)
I am so happy to have be honored with this award.  I have put a lot of work into my business over the past few years and I really appreciate that its all been recognized due to the responses and reviews I have received from my clients! Thank you everyone! xo!
