Caress Forever Collection Body Washes: Fragrance Touch Technology

Caress has created the world’s first body wash with Fragrance Touch Technology.  What does that mean? The Caress Forever Collection releases bursts of perfume with every touch of the your skin for up to 12 hours.

NEW Caress Love Forever Body Wash

NEW Caress Adore Forever Body Wash

From my personal experience of using the body wash, the fragrance is very soft (feminine) and doesn’t overpower the senses.  While some body washes require a lot of product to lather, this isn’t the case with the Caress Forever Collection.  Also, the body wash is sensitive to the skin with little irritation while cleansing.

Paris Fashion Week 2015 – Photographs and Designer Videos

If you love couture and missed Paris Fashion Week 2015 don’t get upset because a few of the shows are below. Technology has allowed us to enjoy fashion from all over the world; streaming Chanel, Balmain, Christian Dior, and Saint Laurent.

I love Parisian designs because the styles are forward leaning, with the use of high quality fabrics and the ability to show opulence. Parisian style has made a huge impact on ready to wear apparel and everyday street style.

Celebrities are also taking notes, playing with a variety of Parisian inspired fashion and couture beauty ideas.

Sally Hansen and NYC New York Colors for Spring 2015

The nail polish you already love just got better! Millions of women know that Sally Hansen® Insta-Dri™ nail polish gives them a quick-drying, high-shine manicure that lasts. Now, an improved formula delivers extended wear and enhanced shine — still with the one stroke, one coat convenience that has made Insta-Dri a cult favorite since 2009.

Insta-Dri’s three-in-one formula combines base coat, color, and top coat in one bottle, making it even easier to have a glossy manicure in a minute. It dries in just 60 seconds, creating full-coverage color and shine without the wait.

Along with an improved formula, Insta-Dri also features 14 new, must-have shades that incorporate the season’s standout runway trends. Rich chocolate and champagne add cashmere-like coziness to any manicure. Or go bold with fiery tones of red and orange — three different hues allow you to turn up the intensity as much as you like. Lilac, cherry, and plum tap into fall’s purple moment, while blue and teal provide a cooling effect. Meanwhile, the season’s new neutrals (think: the inkiest black, steel gray) are the nails’ answer to Normcore. These anything-but-boring basics prove that colors don’t need to shout to stand out. And with 40 total fast-drying shades to choose from, there’s no shortage of variety.

Even the appearance of Insta-Dri is getting a boost. A new, sleek logo freshens up the packaging for a more contemporary style — a fitting look for a nail polish made for today’s on-the-go pace.

 

THE SHADES: Re-teal Therapy, Plummet, In Nude-tral, Cherry Fast, Navy Fleet, Show Steel-er, Making Mauves, Leapin’ Lilac, Black to Black, Ablazing!, Quick Fire, Set Sail, Cocoa A Go Go, Orange Zest

Pevonia Botanica Dry Skin Cleanser and Lotion – Beauty Regimen

I try to keep a consistent beauty regimen because I’m no longer a lady in her twenties.  I’m  also a firm believer that beauty has very little to do with features but more about maintenance.  My beauty regimen (which varies from day to night) includes facial cleanser, moisturizer, lip balm, body mist, bb cream, coconut oil, and nail repair polish.

If you follow my site, you already know that I truly believe in good skin care products.  This is the result of having eczema and always seeking moisturizing products for my dry skin.  Luckily, Pevonia keeps me updated on the latest skin care products (as a blogger ambassador.)  This month I received Pevonia Botanica’s Dry Skin Cleanser and Lotion.  The Pevonia Botanica Dry Skin Cleanser removes makeup impurities and helps to counteract dryness; the Dry Skin Lotion removes tap water impurities and soften the skin.

I like to use my Pevonia Dry Skin products before bedtime to restore my skin and use the Stem Cell Intensive Cream before applying my makeup.  The most significant point to remember about the Dry Skin Lotion is that it’s actually a spray lotion which eliminates wasting the product.  Both products (the cleanser and lotion) go on easily and do not irritate the skin.

Pevonia Stem Cell Cream

If you’re too busy to visit the local spa but need to include a product in your beauty regimen that gives the appearance of healthy skin, visit Pevonia.com  I am happy to have been introduced to the product and will continue using to see more results.
