Sephora + Pantone Universe, My New Favorite!

Last month I made a spur of the moment purchase at my local Sephora, which is not at all unusual. 

Sephora partnered with Pantone, the paint maker, to come up with some fabulous orangey colors.  I bought the Apricot Brandy Prisma Color Blush.  It is so perfect for summer and has a hint of shimmer.  It looks very bright in the container, but not when you wear it.  Perfect with a summer tan.  (Not that I am encouraging THAT, well, maybe.)

  I didn't get this set, but I wish I would have.

I did, however, get the best brush!

It is the fluffiest, softest brush ever!  I have been using it for bronzer or all over color. It stands up perfectly on the back of my sink.  QUICK LOOK          SEPHORA COLLECTION Sunset Glow Body Buki$34.00$11.00  www.sephora.com   If you go to the link, you can buy the brush on GIANT sale right now.  Unfortunately, mine was not on sale.  Lucky you. Well, what are you waiting for?? Order it, you know you want to!

 

Bianca Jagger Style Love

What's not to love about Bianca Jagger's style?  The outfits she wore in the Studio 54 days would look just as good today.

 
Love, love, love this cape.  You know these are everywhere this season!

 
Textured hose!  I believe I had hosiery just like this back in my High School days.  Somehow, I don't think I looked quite as glam wearing these to my Sunday School class.

 
 
Hmmmmmm, hats are riding the wave of fashion this season, as well.

 
The iconic white pants suit.

 
 Something about this image makes me think of Eva Mendes.  Beautiful.
Still beautiful.  If we could all age as well!

Sexy Short Hair on Cecile de France

If you know me, you realize I have long hair well past my shoulders.  But, it has not always been that way.  I used to wear it VERY short.  I came across my new girl-crush, Cecile de France, and suddenly I want short hair again.

 
 Cecile de France is a Belgian actress, you may have recently seen her in Clint Eastwood's new thriller, "Hereafter".  She is quite the big star in France.  I seriously love her with short, short hair!

 
 
 
Yep, sexy short hair, not at all reminiscent of short soccer-mom hair.  I'm a fan!

Demeter Fragrance Library - Funeral Home!

 
 
Description:
via www.demeterfragrance.com

Yes, this cologne is called Funeral Home. I think it would be appropriate for the season!  It doesn't smell like dead people, only like fresh flowers and polished wood.  Demeter makes all kinds of unique scents that smell like real things.  Here are some of the fragrance names that caught my eye, some of which made me laugh:  Sage, Beeswax, Green Tomatoe, Saw Dust, Pipe Tobacco, Black Pepper, Play-Doh, Cinnamon Toast, Turpentine, Bourbon, Humidor, Clean Windows, Waffles, Condensed Milk, String Bean, Crayon, Fireplace, Tomatoe, Fresh Hay, Vinyl and Glue.  They also carry lines that are named after Jolly Ranchers and Jelly Bellys.

I have actually had over a dozen different bottles.  My current faves are Golden Delicious, Lime, Snow (don't ask, but it's accurate), Saddle (I smell like the inside of a new car with leather seats), Orange Cream Pop and Persimmon.

You can get a bottle for $10-$20 and the shipping is $6.99.  Sometimes I find bottles at Marshall's or T.J. Maxx.  On a rainy day like today, I may have to wear my Beach scent!

T. LeClerc Loose Powder

I just received a package in the mail.  It was my new container of T. LeClerc loose powder.

This loose powder is probably the most expensive beauty product that I have.  That little container set me back $50.00.  Before you start thinking I have money to burn, let me say that this is the second time I have bought this exact product.  The last tin lasted me a little over five years (of wearing it every day).  For less than $10.00 a year, I think I get value for every cent.  It can be a little hard to find.  I have yet to see it anywhere but on the internet.  I think it makes me look a little prettier every day.
