Bobbi Brown Art Stick Liquid Lip review

The new Bobbi Brown Art Stick Liquid Lip collection features a wide variety of lip colors ranging from nudes to bright hues. It is not a lipstick, nor is it a lip gloss, it is art in a stick! Like paint, but better; and for your lips!

Bobbi Brown’s new Art Stick Liquid Lip is a creamy and hydrating lip color which comes in a squeezable tube. When it is applied to lips, it feels nourishing and smooth. You might think it would dry glossy, like a gloss, but since it is not a gloss, the new Bobbi Brown Art Stick Liquid Lip dries with a semi-matte finish, giving it a luxurious look. Love that!

The Art Stick Liquid Lip by Bobbi Brown is really easy to apply. Simply squeeze a tiny amount out of the tube and then spread it on your lower lip. Without squeezing out any more liquid lip, use the tilted applicator on the art stick to spread out the liquid lip color on your lips. Voila! A perfect art piece! Love!

All of the colors are beautiful in Bobbi Brown’s Art Stick Liquid Lip collection, but I do have favorites! My two favorite colors are “Pink Heather” and “Lily.”

This is “Lily.” It is a bright pink which is perfect for the spring and summer seasons. I love this color for playful outfits, or when I want to brighten up my face. It really is my favorite color from the Art Stick Liquid Lip collection by Bobbi Brown!

The perfect color for daytime! This is a fabulous go-to lip color for any season of the year. “Pink Heather” is a darker, purplish hue which plays well for evening occasions, all year long. Love! If ever there was a staple color to own, this is it!

I am loving Bobbi Brown’s Art Stick Liquid Lip collection. There are so many fabulous colors for so many occasions! You can find the entire collection online here. Which color is your favorite?

Thanks for stopping by!

Welly Merck watch review

well merck watch review welly merck gold watch

Pictured: watch c/o Welly Merck. Welly Merck watch in gold

You know I am all about luxury, so when Welly Merck contacted me and taught me all about their luxurious watch line; I was intrigued. Not only does Welly Merck make luxurious watches which are beautiful and keep accurate time, they make them affordable too. Love!

The Welly Merck story is one of true love. The company was born from a loving marriage between two people who traveled the globe to be with one another. Rather than re-tell someone else’s story, you can read about the romantic tale online here.

From this love, a fabulous and luxurious watch company was born. Welly Merck watches are nothing short of fabulous! They offer thin watch faces; and my Mother always told me, the thinner the casing, the more expensive the watch! There are watch styles for both men, and women, in sporty and dressy styles. I love these watches!

The sleek, metallic and leather watch offerings fit any taste in watches. It was really difficult for me to pick just one watch! The gold watch shown in these pictures is what I ultimately chose since my only gold watch is vintage, and I don’t like to wear it that often. My Welly Merck watch is classic, sleek, luxurious, and easy to wear every day. Love that!

If you can’t choose between watch straps, Welly Merck also sells watch straps, so you can buy one face, and multiple straps, to give your watch all different looks; depending on your outfit or mood. They offer metal, leather, and fabric straps. I love the metallic watch straps. This gold strap is so chic! I love how it compliments the hardware on my favorite handbag.

Welly Merck watches are so luxurious and chic. I am in love with my watch! These watches would also make great gifts for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, as well as Birthdays and Graduations. Love that!

Escada Fiesta Carioca eau de toilette

escada fiesta carioca eau de toillette review

Pictured: fragrance c/o Escada . Escada Fiesta Carioca eau de toilette limited edition perfume celebrating 25 years of summer editions.

Every summer, for the past 25 years, Escada has released a fabulous summer fragrance which celebrates the Joie de Vivre of the summer season.  This year’s fruity floral by Escada celebrates everything fabulous about summer, and it will make you feel like dancing with a flower in your hair. Love!

Escada Fiesta Carioca EDT starts off with a sweet fruity scent. Below the fruity fragrance you will get wrapped up in a bouquet of warm florals which are fresh and crisp. The combination of Passion Fruit on top and Orange Flower in the heart of the fragrance is genius. It makes for an uplifting fragrance experience which will literally make you want to dance, and celebrate summer. The end of the fragrance experience offers a smooth woody base which balances out the fruity floral notes. Love!

Top notes: Passion Fruit, Red Raspberry, Violet Leaves

Middles notes: Passion Flower, Orange Flower, Jasmine

Base notes: Cedarwood, Musk

Escada Fiesta Carioca EDT is a beautiful fruity floral scent which is easy to wear in the evening, and on the weekends. This is also the perfect scent to wear while on vacation; or if you just feel like you want to pretend you are on vacation. It definitely evokes a feeling of being beach-side, surrounded by a soiree decorated with flowers, and serving fresh fruit. Whoo-hoo!

I am so sad this is a limited edition scent! When my bottle runs out, I think I will be lost. This is such a beautiful fragrance for summer; I cannot imagine wearing another scent. It captures the essence of the summer season and everything that makes the combination of vacation and warm weather fabulous.

You can find Escada Fiesta Carioca EDT online here. Remember, it is limited edition, so snap up your bottle quickly!
