I have been searching for months for the perfect full skirt for spring; which can be hard to find when you are 5’4″ like me! Most of the skirts on the market are too full for my short frame or too long; which requires extra money for shortening. So, when eShakti contacted me to review their online store, I was thrilled!

eShakti not only has a fabulous collection of midi and full skirts (which are my current obsessions), they have an amazing line of casual and dressy dresses! In addition to a variety of styles, silhouettes and fabrics, eShakti customizes your order for your height! YES! You read that right. eShakti asks you for your measurements when you order your clothing. This way the garment arrives at your doorstep with your perfect proportions. Love that!

This beautiful skirt arrived at my house the perfect length for my 5’4″ frame. I was thrilled I did not need to have it shortened. Alterations can be upwards of $50 an item depending upon the hem, so having a skirt or dress arrive in the length I need for my height is luxurious. I also love the pockets in the skirt!

The “Sash Waist Poplin Skirt” I ordered turned out to be a versatile piece. The sash is detachable so the skirt can be worn with or without the bow depending upon occasion; or if you don’t want to appear to wear the same skirt twice! Love that!!!

I have to admit, I am one of those eyebrow victims of the mid to late 1990’s. It was fashionable at that time to have your eyebrows waxed monthly into a thin line. I never went as thin as some women did; just thinner than natural. 😉 Sadly, when the trend ended and everyone went back to full eyebrows, my brows never grew back. So, in order to create an eyebrow which looks more “en vogue,” I need an eybrow shaping pencil!

Dolce & Gabbana’s new “The Brow Liner” eyebrow shaping pencil is exactly what my eyebrows needed. The pencil has an unique shape which allows me to fill in my eyebrows without making a mistake. In addition to a pencil, the opposite end of the “The Brow Liner” features a mascara-like brush which allows me to shape my eyebrows into the perfect arch. Love that!

Having both the pencil and brush on one stick makes it easy to create eyebrows in one step; and it is handy for traveling! The color is great and does not smudge during the day. At the end of the night, all I need to do it remove it with make-up remover. My eyebrows look as vibrant at night as they did in the early morning when I first applied Dolce & Gabbana’s “The Brow Liner.” 

I am using Dolce & Gabbana “The Brow Liner” eyebrow shaping pencil in “chestnut” which is the perfect color for my eyebrows. The eyebrow shaping pencil also comes in a variety of colors, is priced at $45, and can be found online here.

I have been a huge fan of ReVive’s moisturizing cream and neck cream for over ten years. When I heard about the collection of gel cleansers by ReVive, I was excited to test one out; after all, if I love the brands’ creams, I am sure to love the cleanser too!

Of course I was not disappointed! I tested out ReVive “Gentle Purifying Wash” and now I am hooked! The cleanser has a pretty, soft scent which instantly relaxes me as I begin to apply the cleanser to my face. ReVive “Gentle Purifying Wash” feels soft and gentle on my skin; which is amazing! After washing my face with ReVive “Gentle Purifying Wash” my skin feels soft and squeaky clean. Love that!

ReVive “Gentle Purifying Wash”  is powered by Cucumber Fruit Extract which purifies skin using essential nutrients. The formula offers deep cleansing which washes away impurities, excess oil, and makeup, leaving skin soft, smooth, and hydrated. I will definitely be using ReVive “Gentle Purifying Wash”  for many years to come; both morning and night.

ReVive “Gentle Purifying Wash” is priced at $75 and can be found online here, here and here.

Below are my favorite products by ReVive which I use on a daily basis:
