Their motto makes me heart Hard Candy even more. 

"We love our animal friends. We don't test our products on them."  

Beautiful You

When it comes to make-up I'm jaded, I admit it. I've spent a good portion of my life in the chair, and on the opposite side painting faces. I'm lucky, been exposed to high-end, medium and affordable brands. FLOWER, affordable quality beauty with a conscience got me. I was curious. Clean, functional makeup made available. Works for me. Throw in the forever bubbly, sunny Drew Barrymore as an owner, instant deal-breaker. "All products are proudly Made in the USA and are never tested on animals." Double deal-breaker. Diane Sawyer and David Muir could use FLOWER on ABC, "Made in America Series." Beauty and a do good Celebrity, makes a great story.





Let's talk about the rich floral palette of products.

Powder Trip Powder Foundation. The packaging is so darn pretty, and functional. Powder brushes on smooth, seamless. Feels light and airy on the skin, ideal for lightto medium coverage. Powder Trip contains Vitamins C and E, nourishing skin and slowing down the aging process. Powder Trip is Fragrance-free, Paraben-free & Talc-free. 








Shadow Play Eyeshadow Quad in Foxy Browns
Browns can be worn smoldering sexy, or subtle. Foxy Browns mashes it up. Eyeshadow Quad doesn't skimp on pigment, keeps eye look options wide open. Shimmery taupe, shimmery bronze, dark brown matte and shimmery pale pink dress the eyes, down or up. 







Be sure to check out Petites Fleurs 
Pocket Triplets.
Pocket size glamour.
Three bullets of creamy eye color for hip girls on the go.













Sheer Up 
The high-gloss Lip Tint glides on smooth and stays.
The sheer balm comes in five juicy shades, Bare Blush, Sheer Blossom, Dewy Rose, Lacy Laurel and Airy Orchid.
From pale taupe to pastel pink to red, there's a shade for everyone. I'm digging Airy Orchid, a ruby color that matches the lip adds shine and mystery. Sheer Up has no taste, gotta love that! Applies with one precision swipe in a jumbo crayon. Can't find a big sharpener? This beauty comes with it's own built in retractable twist up. Neat product and efficient packaging.







Available at Walmart, FLOWER is affordable chic beauty. 

"How do we do it? We do not pay for advertising. Where other beauty brands spend a vast percentage of the cost of their products on ads, we do not. Drew, as an owner of the brand, takes pride in promoting Flower, which in turn allows us to put all of our resources into the formulas and packaging, and not into advertising.

Custom-formulated with the same ingredients used in luxury make-up, our exclusive botanical-infused Soft-Focus Complex illuminates for a lit-from-within effect."

Oh So Scent-u-ous

On the 7th day before Christmas (EVE), who actually shops the day before Christmas? A cosmetic elf sent me yummy, aroma therapeutic creams, fragrances and travel sanitizer by Bodycology.

Not over powering, it's a surprising pleasant scent to start the day. Fragrance Mist and Nourishing Body Cream invigorate and refresh. The whimsical socks are an added bonus,  super cozy and comfy after a long day at work. I love the Scratch and Sniff sticker (which really smells like the product!). It takes me back to Christmas' past, and Scratch and Sniff books. $5.00 at Walmart, Bodycology is affordable Christmas, made indulgingly sweet.





Exotic Blossom Hand Sanitizer with Aloe Vera

All That Shines Bright

Eye Def
Gleaming, glorious, glitterati. Hard Candy’s new Eye Def glitter eyeshadow is the perfect texture and amount of sheen. It’s extra long brush makes for breezy application. I like to apply it to the back of my hand first, then pat onto the lid. Eye Def dries super fast. I especially love, What Sandy Says Goes. A pretty champagne color with specks of gold. It's great for day or night, layering well with other colors. I like it alone or with falsies and a nude lip for day. Spice up the glittery eye with a dark lip for night. Eye Def is so pretty go ahead and play, you can't go wrong. 

World Balmination Glossy Tinted Lip Balm

Chapped, dry lips be gone. World Balmination glosses are here. They glide on smooth, leaving lips supple and moist, but not sticky. Made with Shea butter, coconut oil and mango, they are right on time for winter. The tinted gloss comes in eight shades and flavors. The balm is thick enough that the tube won't break while applying. The new graphic designs are super cute, hello loving the skull. Lovestruck is a pretty pink shade that leaves a slight hint of color on the lip. I'm addicted to First Frost. It's colorless, and great for prepping the lip, right before an application. Those nasty cracks and crevices disappear instantly.

Lash Tinsel 
Glitter mascara
Last but not least, top off  Eye Def with a swipe of Glitter mascara. Apply a volumizing black mascara first, as the glitter specks are fine and adhere better. Add a top coat of Lash Tinsel to the lash in purple, blue, pink, gold, or whatever tickles your fancy. It's shimmery fun for a night out or holiday party.

Squeaky Clean

Sometimes I love to apply just concealer to the face. I adore a super clean look, with no color, and pretty, polished finish. Hard Candy's Nobody's Perfect Concealer Palette is so darn cute and compact, don't let that fool you. It's the ultimate makeup kit, smoothing out even the most difficult skin. Armed with 6 shades, it comes in 2 color palettes, one for fair skin and one medium tone. E voila, you're ready for your close-up. The texture is light, creamy and blends effortlessly. It comes with an attached brush to make application and travel a snap. Normally, I arrive at a job with my sturdy, over-sized Jeep backpack, filled with every product under the sun. How cool would it be to show up on set just once, with one product? Nobody's Perfect Concealer Palette. 

It's perfection, pure and simple.

A touch of Hard Candy's Moon Glow Shimmering Translucent Powder infused with illuminating gold powder dusted lightly over the face, leaves the skin looking soft & supple, the perfect "moonlight glow result." I hear vampires are hot this season.

24 K Bombshell Baby

As promised I'm sticking with my Hard Candy theme, and the festival of posts all week. The products are too cool for school. I'm feeling & rocking out the glitter and GOLD. First up, Hard candy's GLOW all the way tropical tan bronze & gradual self tanner. I love the beautiful color it distributes. I could see J LO using it on her VENUS shaved million dollar legs, infused and shimmering with GLOW, in 24 carat gold. GLOW deepens over time, and will not rub off or stain your clothes. Who loves ya, baby? Hard Candy does, that's who.

Hard Candy's Eye Def Glitter Eyeshadow coats the eye with a fine layer of glitter in a pretty shadow base, staying put all day. Ditch is a gorgeous coppery bronze, that delivers the perfect amount of sparkle. In eight shades, ranging from metallic silver, to algae green to electric blue, there's a perfect color for everyone. The over sized tubing is funky and the applicator is extra long, amazing. 

I can't wait to work this look on the next photo shoot. 

To complete the look, use Hard Candy's Take Me Out Liner and rim the inner and upper inside eyes heavily, so that liner melts right into the Eye Def glitter shadow. Apply liner in Abyss, a sparkly black, sticking with the sexy glistening, theme. Creating that perfect dirty, mysterious, sexy, cowboy boot wearing hottie, stuck in the desert melting sun look.

I Can't Take It Anymore

I've got the winter blues &

could really use a beauty fix today!

I don't know about you, but I can't take it anymore. This freezing north east weather has made me crazy. There is not one part of my skin that isn't cracked, peeling or itchy! All the scrubbing and moisturizing just isn't cutting it. My sister in law is an all natural EVERYTHING guru, she has made me more aware of what I put on and into my body. I still enjoy a burger and a beer now & then, I confess. Here are a couple natural healing products that are great for the skin and won't break the bank.

ASAP Ultimate Skin & Body Care Gel helps promote natural healing. This product contains patented ASAP SilverSol Technology™ at a powerful level of 24 ppm of silver. That's right silver. It's a super potent, extremely powerful gel, creating an instant soothing feeling on the skin, healing wounds, rashes and itching. It's s

afe, non-toxic and patent approved.

If you are in need of a full immersion skin soak, pick up a bag of Dr. Teal's Therapeutic Epsom Salt Soaking Solution with healing Magensium and Sulfate. I like the Lavender essential oil formula. It soothes your fried senses, relaxes your frozen muscles and softens the skin. It smells good too. I got a huge 3 lbs. bag for $4.50 at Walmart. Sweet.

Now come on, aren't you and your skin worth it????
