Seven Savvy Selections.
In honour of the 07/07/07, here are seven specially selected beauty items to keep you out of shtook and ever so scintillating:
1. Sunscreen
2. Blotting Papers
3. Lip balm
4. Miniature tube of mascara
5. Shimmery clear lip gloss
6. Nail file
7. Rose coloured crème lipstick
I kid you not. It’s a simple as that. Keep items like these seven little lifesavers in your handbag and you’ll always be sweet! Lipstick can double as a creme blush and the shimmery clear gloss can competently take your lips from day to dazzling with just a slick. I’ve even been known to sneak a tiny bit of gloss onto the cheeks for a subtle highlight or onto my lids for a quick ritz. A nail file, a small tube of sunscreen, lip balm and blotting papers are necessaries that one just simply shouldn’t ever be without. So handy! And mascara, well, who could deny the instantaneous “Wow” factor achieved with just a coat or two? Instant gorgeousness! Our favourite kind! So there you have it, seven savvy selections for the 7th of the 7th 07! Enjoy!
A Funny Thing Happened On The Way…
To the Forum. Okay. Okay. Well, maybe not to the Forum, exactly. Yesterday, I received another consignment of beauty goodies to test for you and amongst the various new beauty bits was this unassuming darling of a fragrance that did, indeed, catch me by surprise. Somewhere while opening up and having a quick peek at the beauty products, I must have spritzed on a bit of this intriguing fragrance, put it away and moved on to other things. As the day went on, I kept getting the most glorious little whiffs of summer. I’m not talking that tragically over done “summer” smell of seriously annoying, over populated, hideously sandy beaches and clawing coconut tanning oil, but of lovely lofty breezes filled with fruity florals, soft clouds, and beautiful blue skies. You know the ones. I kept saying to myself and even once out loud, I’m sure, “what is that gorgeous smell?” Well, it was only after a better part of the day had past, that I realized it was the new fragrance I received earlier in the day. Of course! I should of recognized the delightful top notes of sunny orange blossom, Sicilian bergamot, and Japanese pear martinis, or the mid notes of hydroponic gardenia, white peony petals, and blue hyacinth. Even the delectable dry down of tonka bean, heliotrope, and white musk illuded me. But the penny did eventually drop and it did so in the most perfect way: Calvin Klein Eternity summer.
Eternity summer, by Calvin Klein is a limited edition offering in its signature flacon that has had its outer packaging and fragrance newly interpreted for summer with a vision and scent of the perfect summer sky- a light and airy blue expanse touched by white clouds. Eternity summer is, indeed, the essence of the perfect summer day. LE Eternity summer 2007 is presently on counter.
Infinite Beauty.
The beauty and light we desire are not someplace else, but within us all.
-Beauty Marked!
Independence Day.
Happy 4th of July! Be safe and enjoy the day and all that it brings. You deserve it!
