The Sunday Collection on a Monday

Hi Everyone! After traveling on a wonderful family vacation for the week in Mexico, I’m back to reality. I was happy to get the time away but secretly wish I was still there. I was able to enjoy my time there even though we all worked a bit every day while on vacation. Working in paradise has a new meaning for me!

Fashion Flash

The Beauty Spotlight

We love when cosmetic collections have powerful inspirations and meanings, and Jen over at Laugh, Love, Contour has one such collection on her blog this week! Doubledown Cosmetics has launched their Cape Verdean-flag inspired collection, The Ancestral Collection, Vol. 1. This collection focuses on the meanings behind the powerful red colour of the flag and the influences of revolutionary Amílcar Cabral who set the Republic of Cabo Verde on its path to independence.

Taking off on a Labor Day weekend getaway? Or doing a staycation at home? Never Say Die Beauty recommends Patchology Getaway Plan kit of fast-acting facial masks and eye gel patches for some me-time on-the-go or at home when time is at a premium.

Polish Pick Up/Indie Pick Up kicks off Sept 4th – 7th and Kristi from BeginNails reviewed 6 items. One of her favorites was a cuticle oil in the scent Fall Breakfast from Red Eyed Lacquer. As the weather cools down pumpkin pecan waffles with blueberry syrup sounds delicious!

5YINA Guiying Décolletage Treatment is an ultra-emollient and richly moisturizing balm, made with Chinese medicinal plants, that Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog loves because it deeply nourishes the skin leaving it soft, smooth and luminous.

Stacie has some tips for taking care of dry skin over on her blog, The Makeup Obsessed Mom.

Get clean, get exfoliated and do it with great looking Artisan Soaps that you can see on Beauty Info Zone.

You may know Sigma does makeup brushes but did you also know they do makeup. Southeast by Midwest has a review and swatches of the Sigma Cor-de-Rosa Eyeshadow Palette you should check out.
