I hate those drugstore body lotions that feel watery and waxy, and when applied to your skin, doesn’t feel like it’s doing anything except wetting your skin’s surface and wasting your time. This is definitely not to say that you can’t find an amazing body lotion at the drugstore. If you’re looking for a lotion that gives long-lasting moisture, actually feels like it’s working, and still want to spend a drugstore price, Vaseline® Total Moisture® lotion is it! It’s non-greasy, fast absorbing and offers their Stratys-3 TM multi-layer moisture complex, which infuses moisture at the surface, core, and deep down layers of skin. Although the lotion is thick and creamy (which I personally love!), it absorbs so quickly without leaving skin feeling greasy. You can actually feel it working, as it leaves skin feeling rich and hydrated right away.Vaseline sent me all three of their Total Moisture® Lotions, and it’s definitely hard to…

If you follow me on Twitter, you probably saw me tweeting pretty often in November and the first couple of weeks in December about the blogger event I was planning. I reached out to Anna (she’s amazing!), the front desk manager or Soleil Spa Palm Aire, a local spa in Pompano Beach, to see if she would be interested in partnering to plan a South Florida beauty/fashion blogger event. She was completely on board, so I got to planning! I reached out to a handful of companies to try and find sponsors and vendors for food, goodie bags product, and giveaways. I was able to secure some amazing sponsors including:Sweet Tomatoes for all of the event food, Zoya Nail Polish donated bottles of their holiday-esque polish Sarah for every goodie bag, as well as some of their amazing new Collection Samplers to raffle off, NYS Collections Sunglasses donated some super cute sunglasses to raffle…

A few weeks ago, you may recall that I posted about how I was invited by Nordstrom’s Beauty Social Media Specialist to Nordstrom’s Beauty Trendshow in Coral Gables, Florida. Nordstrom puts on these amazing fashion/beauty trend shows all over the country throughout the year, to debut over 20 cosmetics brands and trends, where models walk the runway in amazing outfits and makeup, while brand creators, representatives, and national makeup artists excitedly tell all of the guests about their newest products and techniques. The entire event is high every, as all of the brand representatives and the amazing host, Nordstrom’s Beauty Director Karen DeLauro are so enthusiastic about all of the products.So…I rolled my cute butt out of bed at 5:00am (yes..5!) to ensure that I got there at 7:00am, which is when the pre-show Red Carpet VIP party started. (They hold the Trend Show before the store opens to the public.) Luckily,…

If you’re an Aveeno fan, you will be happy to hear that they just launched their new digital e-store, which will be open until March.

Tomorrow is a very exciting day! Carla, the Beauty Social Media Specialist for Nordstrom, got in touch with me earlier in the week to invite me to Nordstrom’s Beauty Trend Show tomorrow in Coral Gables (Miami). As part of the show, myself and a bunch of fellow beauty bloggers get to attend the pre-show Red Carpet VIP party where we get the opportunity to speak to some beauty brand experts such as Alex Chantecaille (Chantecaille Creator), George Smart (Osmotics National Educator), John Fussell (Chanel Global Ambassador, and Thomas Saujet (Hanae Mori fragrances). We also get an exclusive swag bag for attending, priority seating for the show, and booked for a makeup application at a counter of our choice. I chose to get my makeup done at the NARS counter, and I’m really excited!Carla also sent us some additional information Chantecaille. The story about the brand and their philosophy is really interesting: Chantecaille is…
