Kick start your summer with a healthy glow from Estee Lauder's summer Vivid Garden illuminating powder. I am now officially in summer mode now that we're in daylight savings time. I get a bit of color during the summer no matter how much sunblock I use so I put away from bronzer and use a light and subtle blush like this beautiful new combination for a brightening glow. This swirly flower pattern gives you lots of options, you can use the lighter shades as highlights for brow bones and under the eyes (it makes you look fresh and alert!) and use more pink on the cheeks if you want more color. The slight smidge of gold will warm your natural tone for added radiance. Plus, the flowers are so pretty you just want to have it with you all summer long to remind you how beautiful life is =) I am in a gooshy mood today, can you tell? At Estee Lauder for $32.

This silky powder cover-up from Benefit glides on naturally sheer and layers beautifully for perfect coverage with SPF protection. Depending on how much covering up you like you can custom it your way ! For an allover sheer finish, sweep on with brush. To cover it all (and then some), apply over the entire complexion with a sponge. For spot cover up, dab sponge directly on blemishes or discoloration, then dust off with brush. The unique package fits both a sponge and a brush so you can touch up throughout the day as you like! In 6 shades-- available at Benefitcosmetics.com for $34.

Traveling Beauty Snobs will be able to indulge in the gorgeous pink pearl shimmer powder exclusive at Estee Lauder airport counters this Fall. I used to equate Estee Lauder with "White Linen" scented grandmothers but Estee's granddaughter, Aerin Lauder, has brought a breath of fresh scent to the brand.

Take this adorable new golden compact, it's adorned with butterfly motif on the lid and it houses Estee Lauder Signature Shimmer Powder that delicately highlights and gives radiance to any complexion. A small brush applicator is also included and is protected in a matching pink suede pouch. Is this not a great gift to yourself as you travel home for the holidays? $44 / £32(duty free price) exclusively at Estee Lauder airport counters worldwide.

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!)
