The three cosmetics I can't live without are blush, eyebrow gel and lip balm. I LOVE blush and have as many shades as I do lipstick colors. I usually opt for coral shades - cool tones look great with pale skin and black hair, but I do dabble in pinks and neutrals sometimes. Blush changes your complexion (and overall look) dramatically. Whether you want a subtle no-makeup-makeup look, drama or sun kissed skin, you can transform your face with blush. I have a great Spring/Summer collection of blushes - the variety of colors make for the perfect look in every situation..

The Bobbi Brown Cheek Glow Palette (Pearl and Pink Flush) includes the amazing BB Pot Rouge cream blush and a cream highlighter. This palette can be used on your cheeks for a subtle glow or on your lips. I've been using Pot Rouge on my lips for a while, but never on my face. Cream blush always seemed little strange to me - application is more difficult and I like using makeup applicators, rather than my fingers. You gotta prime your face before applying cream makeup and only a little at time. The heat exuded from your fingers allows you to blend the blush nicely, so take your time. If you have dry skin, cream blush is a good solution. The Pink Flush shade and Pearl highlight in this palette are perfect for summer - pretty and subtle.

I've always been a fan of Bobbi Brown blush. There's a variety of shades in matte (for the perfect flushed look), or shimmer. The pigment is strong and the color lasts. The brighter/darker shades can be heavy in color, so layer lightly. Bobbi Brown Blush in Coral Sugar gives you a subtle pink-flush. Apply to the balls of your cheeks for a healthy look. Bobbi Brown Blush in Apricot is a vibrant shade (a deep coral), and is the perfect evening color.

Bobbi Brown Blush in Nude Peach and Laura Mercier Joie De Vivre Windflush are the perfect no-makeup-makeup shades. These colors give you a subtle-flush (wind flush). The peach shades will look great on any skin tone, especially pale tones. When your outta time or just lazy, these blushes are great for a little color and no-fuss look.

MY FAVORITE - Givenchy Prisme Blush in Rite and Givenchy Prisme Blush in Spice. I'm obsessed. These prisme blushes can be used four ways - candid alone (lighter color), bold alone (darker color), harmonious (combination of both), or structured (allow your brush to pick up the light on one end and dark on the other, then apply with the darker shade on the bottom. I have one negative critique - the scent is strong and unpleasant (kinda like an old ladies perfume). I'm not sure why blush should even have a scent. If you're sensitive to smells, this blush is not for you.

These colors are AMAZING. The peachy-coral shades of Rite (pictured) are sweet and subtle - Perfect for a sun-kissed glow. Spice is a little darker, with a coral undertone and pink highlight. LOVE.

The pistachio-caramel scent of Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream is AMAZING! I can't wear perfume (too sensitive), but this deliciously scented product line doesn't bother me at all. The scent is strong but sweet and intriguing. The cream is super-nourishing and has a slight shimmer that gives your skin a subtle glow.

I was super excited when Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Body Fragrance Mist released. It's the same yummy scent of the cream but in a light body mist. The bottle is HUGE and I'm sure will last six months. This body mist can be used on your skin, your hair and you even lightly spray your closet to give your clothes a pistachio-caramel scent - you're gonna want to surround yourself with this scent.

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Kiss Cupuacu Lip Butter is one of my favorite lip balms - I have one in my bathroom, one at my computer and one in my handbag! The light, creamy texture is nourishing and the tube is BIG, so it will last a long time. The cream and lip balm are infused with super nourishing ingredients Cupaçu butter, Açai and coconut oil. If I had to choose one product line of the year, it would be Sol Janeira Brazilian.

This 'do-everyhing' salve is my new favorite product. I'm like Gus Portokalos and Windex - I apply this waxy salve everywhere I need hydration. Lips, nails (keeps cuticles nourished), elbows, toes.. I'm addicted! After purchasing the original Glossier Balm Dotcom and using it up in a month, I purchased the coconut and mint flavors (admittedly, a few originals too). The scented balms are subtle and trust me, will replace your all-time favorite lip balm. Rose and Cherry Balm Dotcom have a sheer tint - if you need a little barely-there color.

The formula is super-dense and builds a barrier on your skin to protect from further damage. The antioxidants and natural emollients nourish and repair your skin. A must-have this winter.

Each tube retails for $12 and if your obsessed (like me) will last for about a month, but I'm sure longer for the regular 'I need a little hydration here and there' kinda girl. For the product junkie's out there, you're gonna want all of them - I keep one in my bag, my Cosmocube, at my computer.. I can't get enough of this brand - ADDICTED, OBSESSED, LOVE!

Sephora Kiss Me Balm is light, has a yummy scent and leaves your lips feeling soft and nourished. It's my new favorite lip balm for spring!

Available in six colors at sephora.com.

Christmas inspired cosmetics are the perfect stocking stuffer. It's all about the theme, so products that are Christmas red, green and gold. Limited edition Christmas themed beauty products like Bliss Peppermint High Intensity hand cream, Philosophy "Have a Cherry Christmas" shower gel, and a red bath lilly from The Body Shop are practical and festive.  

Christmas themed beauty products also make for a fun, thoughtful gift. Any girl will appreciate festive hand creams, lip balms and body wash. For the finishing touch, include a super cute Christmas ornament (Shop Pier One Imports).

There's a reason this makeup product line is called Addict; it's addictive! Dior Addict Lip Glow is by far the best lip balm I have tried. It nourishes your lips and gives you a subtle pink color. Lip Glow is great for everyday use. 

The Dior Addict Lip Polish has a round applicator that roles across your lips, exfoliates and leaves your lips glowing. It moisturizes and feels nice on your lips.

Dior Addict Lip Maximizer is a lip plumper. You don't feel the strong tingling sensation that you would from most lip plumpers (I love the tingling feeling). The plumper does rejuvenate your lips, and over time you will notice results. You will not see immediate results with this plumper, and must continuously use it for many weeks. I love the vanilla-mint scent of this plumper. For me, scent is important and the vanilla-mint aura of this plumper is addictive.

You can purchase Dior makeup products at any major department store and Sephora.

The Bliss Fabulips Pout-o-matic Spa Lip Perfecting System is my new beauty toy. I experiment with lipsticks, balms, and plumbers and sometimes my lips become dry and chapped. I've tried many products to sooth my lips, nut nothing gave me the results I wanted until the Bliss Fabulips System. Add a small amount of the sugar lip scrub onto the tool head, press against your lips and push the on button. Move the exfoliating tool in circular motions until you've exfoliated your lips (including your lip line). Gently wipe your lips with a towel and you're done. I recommend applying Bliss Replenish Softening Lip Balm after exfoliating. Your lips feel soft and rejuvenated.

The kit includes The Pout-o-matic Lip Exfoliating tool, Fabulips Sugar Lip Scrub and a replacement head for the tool. It retails for $48 at blissworld.com and Sephora. It's pricey, but for all of you beauty product lovers, it's a great tool for combating dry, chapped lips.
