Ireceived this facial cleanser as a gift from Carmen while I was in Maui for a few days. She knows that my favorite color is pink, so whenever she runs upon anything that is cute, and of course pink, and is sure that I will like it, she snags it and sends it to me, no matter where I am in the world- and even if I'm only there for a few days :-). What a great gift! It's so perfect to use with Lancôme's Bi-Facil Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover that's already in my vanity cabinet! I love that this purifying foaming cleanser gives an unmistakable foam that really goes down deep and targets the dirt, oil and makeup, bringing all of the impurities to the surface to be washed away. It helps that my skin does look and feel clean without me having to wash a second time. I am happy with this product! Oh, and it's only $30.00 a bottle!

Because of the rosy aromatic scent, I love to apply this toner whenever I have early morning projects and have to rise before the sun does. The enticing scent adds a jolt of exhilaration and spark of excitement to get me out of bed and into my morning regimen. Each experience of using this toner is like finding a new hobby, because I find so many different areas of my body to apply it. Whenever I'm in a hurry and/or cannot decide on the perfect fragrance of the day, I simply grab my Chanel alcohol-free soothing toner, sprinkle a bit onto my finger tips, and dab around the back of my ears. It gives off a refreshingly clean Princess smell that is simply irresistible! And, of course, because the toner is pink, it goes under my list of Princess Must-Haves. I never forget to take it along with me to "re-splash" and refresh throughout my day. Besides, for only $45.00 a bottle, no girl should ever pass up the color pink!

Iam an 'All Things CHANEL' girl (you know that already!), so naturally I cannot live without any of my CHANEL nail lacquers. Of course I have every shade (sure, for only $20.00 a bottle!)- but the one I want to rave about right now is Splendeur- which I purchased last year at Nordstrom- but still rockin' this year. It's a catch between that 80's rock star Fuchsia (with a metallic undertone), and OHG (Old Hollywood Glam) Hot Pink. I love this colour! It's that daring in-your-face colour that seems to make mesmerizing statements, even at the most outlandish of events. I especially love to pair this polish with my MAC Cranberry Lip Pencil ($13), and CHANEL Crème Gloss Lumière in Madeleine ($32), which I rock out in all the hottest and most glamorous parties this Holiday Season.

Awesome, awesome, awesome! I have a lot of photo and video shoots that leave me completely drained of energy. But what's worse is by the end of the day my eyes look totally drained as well. This product, however, is a life saver! Not only does it give extreme hydration but it seems to take years off my delicate eye area. It has special ingredients that give my eyes a younger, lifted and brighter appearance by de-emphasizing puffiness and the look of dark circles. I'm now able to go out without concealer. It's a steep price ($78.00), but I've used eye creams that cost twice as much and did not receive the same benefits. Also, I've already invested their newest creme (Re-Nutriv Ultimate Youth, $100.00). It's always worth it! I'll remember to let you know how the newest creme works out!

T his is actually one of the many newest products in my bathroom. Lately I noticed that I've been breaking out more frequently than usual, and after remembering that my cosmetics are brand new and not yet ready to be replaced, I figured I should try a new facial cleanser. So, I called up one of my girlfriends and we both decided to go on the prowl for the latest buzzed about facial cleansing products. Besides, that day I needed an excuse to get away from my long hours of working. Of the many new "girly" products we tried once we got to her place after the mall, my favorite happened to be the Dior Self-Foaming Cleanser. I love it for two reasons: (1) The foam is really thin and reacts differently depending on whether it is applied to wet or to dry skin. I usually wear really sheer and lightly applied makeup during the day, and in removing the makeup I noticed that the foam works best when I first wet my face. The foam becomes diluted and smoother, almost completely sheer and effortless to remove the small traces of makeup. On my "drama" days, I love to just glam it up! I go all out by putting on foundation, covering with pressed powder, using about 4 or 5 different colors of eye shadows, layers of mascara, glossy lips, blush that pops, etc. I noticed that when I apply the foam to my still made up -but dry- face, it creates a thicker foamed texture that really penetrates deeper into my skin and does a really good job of removing the extra makeup. I would say that it's better to apply the foam dry to thicker makeup. (2) It rinses off quickly and easily, so it's great to use whenever I'm not feeling up to my usual hour and a half long pampering time.
