One of my favorite lipstick brands is Dolce & Gabbana. Their Passion Duo Gloss Fusion Lipsticks offer glossy coverage with a moisture induced center that allows the lipstick to moisturize your lips as well as leave a beautiful color applied to them. Love that!

The five colors of Dolce & Gabbana Passion Duo Gloss Fusion Lipstick I am showing above are new for summer 2014. Jasmine, Orchid, Lily, Lotus and Amaryllis are all easy to wear, soft hues with a pink base. These lipstick shades look amazing with summer’s bright color palette; yet offer a classic look which will be easy to wear as we transition into fall 2014. Amaryllis, the Passion Duo Lipstick hue in the last photo, is a fabulous color for transitioning into fall. It is the darkest shade of the five lipsticks and offers a neutral hue which blends with both summers’ bright color palette, and fall’s mix of bright colors and overly dark traditional autumn hues.

Amaryllis is definitely my favorite summer 2014 Dolce & Gabbana Passion Duo Gloss Fusion Lipstick hue out of the five featured above; although I love them all! Which color do you like?

ReVive Intensite Creme Lustre Night Cream review

ReVive is a skin care brand I have been using for over ten years. I am a huge fan of their Fermitif Neck Renewal Cream and Sensitif Renewal Cream; and I recently started using their Gentle Purifying Gel facial cleanser (you can read my review here). So when I found out ReVive had recently released a new night cream, I was intrigued!

The Intensite Creme Lustre Night Cream is a fabulous addition to the ReVive skin care line. This amazing night cream renews my skin overnight without added spf. After using ReVive’s Intensite Creame Lustre Night Cream for three weeks, my skin has become visibly firmer and more smooth. Love that! I have also found that ReVive’s Intensite Creame Lustre Night Cream moisturizes my dry summer skin and repairs any peeling skin I may suffer from the sun; usually on my nose.

I am thrilled to be able to add ReVive’s Intensite Creame Lustre Night Cream to my daily skincare routine!

Escada Born in Paradise EDT review

Escada’s “Born in Paradise” eau de toilette is a beautiful, warm weather, exotic fruity fragrance which will instantly transport you to a luscious paradise island in a faraway land. From the exotic packaging to the cool, light-hearted bottle, Escada’s “Born in Paradise” edt will make everyday life feel like vacation. 

Escada’s “Born in Paradise” edt starts off with a fruity zing laced with a warm musky undertone. The fruity scent is refreshing and ideal for warm, summer temperatures.  As the day wears on, Escada “Born in Paradise” edt settles into a sweet, fruity scent which is long-lasting, and continually refreshing throughout the day. At the end of the day, the fruity scent diminishes and you are left with a warm, woody, musk scent which transitions from warm, daytime temperatures to cool, evening temperatures.

Top notes: green apple, watermelon, guava

Middle notes: coconut milk, pineapple

Bottom notes: sandalwood, cedarwood, musk

Escada “Born in Paradise” edt is an ideal fragrance for daily wear during the summer months. The refreshing, fruity scent works well in warm weather and helps invigorate you mentally throughout the day. Love that! Although Escada “Born in Paradise” edt is an eau de toilette, the fragrance is surprisingly long lasting and sustains it’s fragrance cycle throughout the day as if it were an eau de parfum. The overall fragrance experience is reminscent of an island paradise vacation which can help make everyday life at home feel a little bit like paradise 😉

My overall rating for Escada “Born in Paradise” edt is five out of five stars! Escada “Born in Paradise” can be found online here and here.
