Yves Saint Laurent Touch Éclat
In Marta’s Makeup Bag: I’ve been using the classic lately: Yves Saint Laurent Touch Éclat ($40), or in translation: Radiant Touch. I’ve been reading about YSL Touch Éclat for many years now and I even remember buying it almost 10 years ago! Can you believe that? At the time, I made a bit of an error by getting the wrong shade. It was a very pale almost white shade that didn’t do anything to my light olive complexion. So I was disappointed with the results back then. But it’s OK sometimes to give anyone or anything a second chance. This time I got the Yves Saint Laurent Touch Éclat in shade 3, Marta’s shade! And it works amazing on me now! Yoohoo. Finally. Touch Éclat is perfect to cover under eye dark circles and brighten the eye area. Now, I’m in love:)

the supernatural superglossy Lip Gloss by Philosophy
In Marta’s Makeup Bag: the supernatural superglossy Lip Gloss by Philosophy in follow your dreams ($16.50). This lip gloss is light and not greasy, perfect for daytime or for the the office. I like to also use this lip gloss underneath a darker lipstick to soften the look. follow your dreams is a beautiful soft pink coral shade. It feels a bit cooling and soothing when you apply on lips. And the name follow your dreams is SO inspiring!

T3 Bespoke Labs Evolution Dryer
Few weeks ago I was in a desperate need of a new blow dryer. My old one just broke, and I’m NOT naming any names. So I took a trip to ULTA Scottsdale Arizona and find myself standing and staring at a shelf full of beautiful blow dryers. Now, which one should I choose? Thanks to a fabulous sales girl, Tina, I decided to get T3 Bespoke Labs Evolution Dryer.
T3 Bespoke Labs Evolution Dryer costs $300!! I know! I must say, I was quite skeptical at first to spend that much money on a blow dryer. But, I always remember something Pantene’s Celebrity Hair Stylist Hallie Bowman said: Save your big bucks on hair products but invest in the BEST styling tools. Because good styling tools will cut down on styling time, and the time your hair is exposed to damaging heat. Makes sense. Fast forward 3 weeks later, and I’m one happy customer with great looking hair:) Thank you Tina and ULTA Scottsdale for helping me pick my dream blow dryer!

Kiehl’s to Launch Açaí Organic Skin Care Line
Kiehl’s is going organic with the launch of its Açaí skin care collection, due in mid-September.
While many people assume Kiehl’s products are 100 percent organic, this line is the brand’s first organic skin care line, said Chris Salgardo, president of Kiehl’s USA. “Since our inception, we have always been known for our service and for creating efficacious products,” said Salgardo, noting that everyone asks for “green” products, but still demand high performance. “We heard that our customers wanted organics, that they wanted paraben-free, that they wanted natural — and they wanted to focus on the first signs of aging. We went to the lab to do all that. The result: our new Açaí line.”
