Dior blush vibrant color powder in coral cruise paired with a coral lipstick or gloss gives you a subtle summery look. Gently apply a small amount for a natural look, or layer for a dramatic effect. Although Dior blush comes with an angled brush for precise application, I prefer to use a traditional blush brush. I find that a larger round blush brush allows for perfect coverage on the apples of my cheeks, without overdoing it. I often find blush separates on my face after a few hours (because my skin is so oily), but this blush stays put all day. I have purchased a variety of Dior makeup products in the last few months and I gotta say - I have yet to be disappointed!

Coral colors look great on tanned skin and in combination with little or no makeup leaves your face looking fresh and pretty. You can purchase Dior blush vibrant color powder at Sephora. It is currently available in eight colors and retails for $42.

I absolutely love Incoco nail polish appliqués. There are currently 140 nail design appliqués, 108 colors, 7 french manicure shades, and 33 french manicure designs and colors to choose from. There are also 13 design and solid color appliqués for your toes.  Incoco introduces new colors and designs often; including holiday themed designs. Incoco nail polish appliqués give you a perfectly polished manicure and pedicure.

The nail polish appliqués are easy to apply. Just peel off the back and front covers, place the sticker on your nail and fold over the top of your nail gently until the appliqué rips, allowing you to remove the excess sticker. Each pack of stickers comes with sixteen nail polish appliqués, in 8 different sizes. Before peeling off the covers, place the stickers against your nails to determine which size best fits.

There is no drying time! More importantly, you can place the appliqués close to your cuticle (unlike polish) and create a perfect polished look. No mess!

I do find with continuous application of the stickers that my nails get dry, so I recommend taking a break and using a polish, or a nail hardener every third manicure or pedicure.

Incoco nail polish appliqués range from $7.99 to $9.99 at www.incoco.com. 

The KOH Natural, Glossy Nail Buffer Set includes great buffers for natural looking nails. There are three buffers; Equalize, Clean and Beautify. Use the buffers in order from one to three. Be gentle, because you are removing the surface of your nails and you don't want to damage them. I prefer the KOH Natural, Glossy Nail Buffer Set, because the files are soft and less abrasive than most buffers. I also use the equalize buffer to file my nails. It is gentle and allows you to shape your nails slowly.

After I have buffed my nails and removed my cuticles I use the KOH Gentle Cuticle Stick. The slanted rubber tip is soft and allows you to gently push your cuticles back without damaging them.&nbsp

KOH nail products are designed with gentle nail care in mind. For those of you who do your own manicures and pedicures, I highly recommend checking out this product line. Visit www.kohcosmetics.com/nl/. You will find nail products you didn't know existed!

I love the KOH Purifying Nail Bath tablets. Drop one into your manicure or pedicure bowl and enjoy the subtle scent of lemon. The nail bath tablets soften your cuticles and leave your nails looking fresh. The tablets contain lemon oil that removes stains and rejuvenates your nails. For those of you that wear dark nail polish, which often leaves yellow stains after removal, this is a product you will appreciate.

The Purifying Nail Bath tablets come in a stylish jar that retails for €25,86. It's expensive, but the jar of tablets will last you months of weekly manicures. If you're like me and do your own manicures and pedicures the price is worth it and you will see a significant difference in the appearance of your nails.

DIORSKIN NUDE Shimmer Instant Illuminating Powder applied to your cheeks and nose will give you a subtle glow. The powder has a slight shimmer, rose and bronzing affect. You can also apply to your décolletage to illuminate your neckline. I use this powder along with my bronzing primer to create a fresh, natural sun kissed glow. 

The DIORSKIN NUDE Shimmer Instant Illuminating Powder comes with a kabuki brush and Dior sleeve. The illuminating powder is available in ambre/amber and rose/pink. You can purchase the DIORSKIN NUDE Shimmer Instant Illuminating Powder at Sephora and most major department stores for $56. 

*This powder is a limited edition.

I have combination skin; rosacea, acne and oily. I struggled to find makeup to meet my long list of needs. My dermatologist recommended I try Bobbi Brown makeup. It's been a few years since my first purchase, and now I practically own every product made by Bobbi Brown. The makeup gives me the results I want and doesn't irritate my skin or clog my pores. The BB cream and yellow based Sheer Finish Loose Powder cover the redness on my cheeks and the Tinted Eye Brightener along with the white Retouching Powder masks dark circles under my eyes. Together these four products allow me to create a natural base, before adding blush, eye makeup and lip color.

I start with under eye cream and add a small amount of Tinted Eye Brightener. I gently sweep the Eye Brightener at the base of my under eye circles and blend upwards. Too much under eye makeup will sit in your wrinkles and cake in the corners of your eyes, so use sparingly.

Then I apply my favorite makeup product Bobbi Brown BB Cream. I squeeze the cream onto the back of my hand and using a foundation brush apply the cream to my face using circular motions to blend it in. I start on my forehead, blend down the bridge of my nose, apply to my cheeks and blend down around my chin and neck.

Finally I sweep the Retouching Powder under my eyes and across the bridge of my noise to brighten my look. Bobbi Brown Retouching Powder is amazing. It is available in six shades; each one combats specific discoloration of your skin. These powders even out your skin tone and brighten your look. 

If I need extra coverage I will apply a small amount of Sheer Loose Powder. I strive for a natural look and most days forego the loose powder.

Visit a Bobbi Brown makeup counter at any major department store for a consultation; the knowledgable makeup artists will help you find your perfect makeup shades and teach you how to apply your makeup. 

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.

I am a huge fan of Elizabeth and James apparel and when I heard about the new Elizabeth and James Nirvana parfum, I rushed to Sephora to purchase it. Nirvana for her comes in two scents; Black and White. The Black is comprised of violet, sandalwood and vanilla, and the White of peony, muguet, and musk. I am partial to the Black parfum, because it is spicy, masculine and feminine. It is a warm scent that goes great with a vanilla body lotion. If you are like me and dislike floral scents, Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black is a parfum you will love.

Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black and White come in three sizes; a rollerball, 1.0 oz and 1.7 oz spray at Sephora. I purchased the Black rollerball for travel, and received a sample (gift with purchase) of the White. Sephora parfum rollerballs are great if you just wanna try a parfum, without paying the high cost of a full size spray. Rollerballs are also perfect for travel and carrying in your purse.
