Sometimes I think that being a beauty junkie is a curse for someone who, like me, has very sensitive skin. Every few months the skin around my eyes freaks-out on me and I wake-up a puffy, red mess and I end-up having to go to my optometrist only for him to, once again, prescribe a cream, tell me not to wear any cosmetics for a week and then there's nothing to do but test-out product after product trying to find which one is the culprit -- even makeup that for years didn't cause problems, can suddenly irritate your skin, so the struggle for those of us who are constantly switching-up their routine is nothing if not a challenge! This of course leads me to Prescriptives and the timing couldn't be better, because their fall colors just came out and while the colors aren't my fav (can anything come close to Chanel!?), they're just what I need to make sure my face doesn't go crazy right now! The colors are a nice mix of soft neutrals and darks (Plum, Fig, Cobalt), and all are dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested.

I have never been more excited for summer and all of its golden promises of lazy days beach side with my hubby and son! I love laying under a big umbrella and watching my young son delight in the wonders of new discoveries. Last summer, he discovered a group of sea otters, lolling about as his mother does on the beach! And if you must know, yes, I do like a sprinkle of bronzer and a coat of lip gloss over my sun screen (SPF 45-60). Just because I am hanging out on the beach like a bum it does not mean I want to look like one! One of my favorite lines for summer make up is Chanel, the brand continually charms with pretty colors that complement summer skin. This season, you can luxuriate in the new Soleil Tan de Chanel moisturizing Bronzing Powder in five shades and the Bronze Universel de Chanel Sun Illuminator. Both will give you sun kissed skin even if you are a Nine to Fiver pulling 50 hour work weeks! At Chanel boutiques and SAKS Beauty Place (more details after the jump!)
