Whether I am traveling by airplane, or going on a family road trip, my skin takes a beating. It is so important to have the right skin care in my suitcase to get me though the trip without my skin totally freaking out! Thankfully, Perricone MD has a few fabulous skin care products which are simple to use, and TSA approved. Love that!

Perricone MD Travel Booster: This fabulous little supplement offers ten types of organic mushrooms found in different parts of the world. They have been chosen due to their ability to increase immunity and circulation; which we all need after being cooped up in a car or plane! The Travel Booster helps you look and feel fabulous from the inside out. Love that!

Perricone MD Daily Brightening Moisturizer: This is a lightweight moisturizer which offers SPF 30 while hydrating and minimizing lines. I love how it keeps my skin from drying out; because we all know how airplane air can wreak havoc on our otherwise moisturized skin! Ugh! This is a lifesaver!

Perricone MD Shower Mask: Who has time to do a full mask routine while traveling? Not me! That’s why I love this shower mask by Perricone MD. It is designed to be used in the shower. So, while you are soaping up your hair, or shaving your legs, your mask can work on your face. Now THAT, is multi-tasking! Love it!

Perricone MD Fixer Solid Oil: This is perfect for rough and/or dry patches of skin. It works overtime to fix dry skin, and it is great for dabbing on eyebrows to keep them in place. It works double duty! haha

These are great products for simple skin care while traveling. You can find them online here.

Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color lipstick review

Bobbi Brown has a new lipstick! The Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color lipstick collection offers twenty beautiful, saturated colors in a new, innovative formula. Love!

The new Crushed Lip Color by Bobbi Brown offers a stained flush of color which gives off a just-kissed look in one swipe of the lipstick. It is jam-packed with moisturizing vitamins E and C, as well as beeswax. Bobbie Brown Crushed Lip Color leaves a lip stain which is long-lasting; eliminating the need to continually reapply the lipstick throughout the day.

As a busy Mom, I demand my lipstick stays on during the day. I cannot deal with messy lip colors that smudge, or wear off right away. There simply aren’t enough hours in the day for me to deal with high-maintenance lipstick. Thankfully, Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color stays put, and it isn’t caked or thick looking. The stain is just enough color to help me look put together, without being looking like I’m overdone. This is lipstick perfection!

There are so many pretty colors in the Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color collection, it is hard to choose just a few! I did mange to narrow the line down and pick three colors I love. Here they are!

Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color Lilac

Bobbi Brown’s Crushed Lip Color in Lilac is may favorite of the pinkish/purple hues in the collection. It is a soft pinkish purple color which looks natural, and is easy to wear daily. I love how this color looks with shades of blue, purple, and pink for the fall/winter season. It is also a great color to wear during any season. Love!

Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color Bare

Bare from Bobbi Brown’s Crushed Lip Color collection is a great nude color. It brightens up lips without adding too much brown or tan to them. It has a natural look which is enhanced. This is perfect for when you should be wearing lipstick but don’t want to look like you’re wearing lipstick.

Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color Plum

Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color in Plum is also a great everyday color. This is perfect for days when I want more pigment then the Lilac hue offers. It is also a great color for the autumn season. I know I will reach for Plum quite a bit!

All in all, the Bobbi Brown Crushed Lip Color collection offers a lightweight lip stain, without the cakiness of a cream lipstick; but more color then a sheer lipstick or gloss would offer. This is perfect for when you want to add some color to your lips without the heavy weight of a cream lipstick. I love this collection!

Aren’t these photos fun! My eleven-year-old daughter took them and was trying to help me smile by making funny faces at me while shooting these pictures. This could explain my humorous expressions. haha

Colleen Rothschild Retinol Supreme Night Oil review

Fall is here! This means it is time to start getting cozy and comfy before heading upstairs for some beauty sleep. I always end my evenings with a warm cup of tea, cozied up in fuzzy slippers, and with my nighttime beauty routine in check.

Before Colleen Rothschild sent me her fabulous new Retinol Supreme Night Oil, I was using a thick night cream on my face after washing it at the end of the day. Since my skin is prone to acne, using a heavy cream at night is considered “living on the edge.” Seriously, can we say “encouraging a break-out!?”

Colleen Rothschild’s new Retinol Supreme Night Oil is the perfect solution for my skin; it’s so lightweight! After I wash my face, I can apply a few drops of it to my face and neck; and voila! My skin enjoys “stabilized retinol” overnight which encourages healthy skin renewal. In addition to the benefits of retinol on skin renewal, this product has vitamin C which helps combat environmental toxins on the skin. There are also nine plant based essential oils in Colleen Rothschild’s Retinol Supreme Night Oil which help replenish moisture in the skin, as well as help to prevent skin irritation. Love that!

The fall season is the perfect time to use a retinol based  product for skin renewal. When using retinol, skin becomes more sensitive to UVA and UVB rays, so wearing suncreen when heading outside is a must. Since there is less time in the sun during the fall season, this helps lessen sun exposure.

Autumn is the perfect time to rejuvenate after a summer spent in the sun. It is also a great time to enjoy the cooler weather, and cozy up with some warm tea and fuzzy slippers while our skin is replenished overnight!
