heaven in your hands.

[and on them too! :)]

So, as we all know by now I have an affinity for Deborah Lippmann's line of products. Can you blame me? Well, I have always wanted to try her Helping Hand manicure scrub, but alas, it is no longer available on her site.

On top of being a beauty junkie, I'm quite the deal hunter. After scouring the internet for some time, I found it on one of my favorite places on earth, eBay.

[note:upon researching for this article I discovered this is still available here: nordstrom's deborah lippmann helping hand manicure scrub. $34 you're welcome.]

After winning it, paying for it, and checking the shipping status/tracking information religiously for a few days, it arrived.

Product Description:
A Lippmannn favorite, revamped. Mani-pedis aren't just about gorgeous nails—they're about beautifying hands and feet, too. With this star scrub from the Deborah Lippmann, you can get hands and feet soft and smooth faster than ever. In the past, the treatment required an activator step to freshen up skin. Now it's a single process, so you're one step away from deep exfoliation and hydration. Make your mani-pedi complete with this pampering essential.

This mandarin crystal hand scrub gently buffs the delicate skin of the hands to reveal brighter, radiant skin that's instantly younger and firmer looking. The scrub now allows for deeper exfoliation and deeper penetration of essential oils into the skin.

I used it, and can I just say, this stuff beats any manicure I have ever had in my entire life.
I followed the directions, and my hands felt INSTANTLY softer, my cuticles more tame, and the overall look, touch, feeling, etc. of my hands DRAMATICALLY improved in just one use.

AMAZING!

Truly delivers what is promised!!

Totally in love.

Thank you, yet again, Deborah Lippmann, for making such incredible products that pay for themselves in so many ways.

richly revered.

I'm a self-confessed beauty-a-holic.
One of my addictions?

Delicious lip gloss.

Latest obsession?

MAC CREMESHEEN GLASS in Richly Revered,

THE PERFECT deep, seductive, and sensual dark burgundy shade.
Easily layered for a more or less dramatic effect.
Wears well, never sticky, and pleasant on the lips and to the nose.

MAC describes their shade as a Deep brown plum, so my description isn't too off!

This shade is perfect for the next season, as well as winter. Also perfect for date night!

VERY happy with this purchase, but I wouldn't expect anything less from this amazing brand.

You can buy this lip gloss here: MAC CREMESHEEN GLOSS in Richly Revered on maccosmetics.com

meaningful beauty.

So, many of you have probably heard of Meaningful Beauty by Guthy-Renker by now.

Oh you haven't?
Well, let me tell you all about it.




I'm a member of influenster.com, and in their June VoxBox they sent several products. One of my personal favorites? The Meaningful Beauty collection.

This is the skincare that Cindy Crawford uses.

You can use the same products a supermodel uses! Pretty neat. And, more importantly, it truly delivers everything it promises. I was hesitant to try it, because I don't buy in to infomercial products, but I was pleasantly surprised with this line.


In my opinion, Cindy has always been a bombshell. Honestly, she looks even more beautiful at this age, and I have a sneaking suspicion this product line might have something to do with it.

My skin texture has improved dramatically. A lot of my large pores I was really starting to notice [and became self-conscious about] have shrank quite a bit. Some of the fine lines on my forehead have smoothed. I am one happy customer!!

The products smell good and a little bit goes a long, long way.

My favorite product that I have tried from this line is..

The Glowing Serum.

On days when I don't have time to put my face on I put a drop of this on my palm, let it warm up, I rub it between my palms for a second, then I rub it, very gently, on my cheeks, forehead, nose, and my chin. I look awake, alive, and I have a very healthy glow to my face. This is the best glowing product I have EVER tried.

follow the yellow brick road.

Summer classes. They run your life.

ANYWAYS!!

I ordered some more goodies from Deborah Lippman:
http://lippmanncollection.com/2011dl/index_new.php

I was SO stoked when i saw Yellow Brick Road. The Wizard of Oz is one of my favorite films, so the fact that Deborah and her camp are keeping up with that whole theme [I have yet to try Ruby Red Slippers..which is next on my list!] really makes me smile.

I placed my order for Yellow Brick Road and Soul Mission.

I am IN LOVE with Yellow Brick Road! It is THE PERFECT summer shade. It's not as bright as it looks on the net, it's a more mellowed-out, subtle, sheer, and SCRUMPTIOUS yellow. It wears well with pretty much everything, and this formula holds up particularly nice. I am so glad I bought it! This will be this blogger's go-to summer shade. You should DEFINITELY check it out!! :)

I already knew Deborah Lippmann was a total nail goddess and lovely person, but they totally made my week when I opened up my package and saw they shared a treat with me.. my FAVORITE top coat out there!!  On A Clear Day is the perfect top coat. It really extends the life of your manicure/nail polish, it is the only top coat I use whether I am wearing one of the Lippmann hues or not.

This ultra-glossy top coat protects your manicure with a chip-resistant formula and a UV inhibitor so polish does not discolor or fade. For best results, allow nail color to dry, then apply a thin coat.
- Formulated with an ultra violet light inhibitor to prevent yellowing of whites and soft pinks, and discoloring of darker shades
- Leaves nails with a glossy, high shine finish
- Apply every two to three days to extend the life of manicure

Alright guys and dolls..I really hope you will check out these awesome products for yourself, you won't be disappointed!!
