Panasonic adds a Beauty Collection to their line

Infused with Panasonic’s advanced technology and the latest trends in women’s personal care, the Panasonic Beauty Collection products are set to be the must haves of the season. With chrome accents and a hot pink hue, the collection consists of three essential tools designed to fit right into a makeup bag with style and discretion, including: the Heated Eyelash Curler, Touch-Up Body Shaver and Precision Facial Hair Trimmer.

I have used a lot of Panasonic items in my lifetime. Vacuums, Cameras and Camcorders.

I'm interested in how these products will perform.  

What is your favorite spring/summer lip color?

I'm so excited to break out my spring/summer colors!

Last year I fell in love with MAC Romancin'. Perfect blue based lipstick for my skin tone.

What colors/shades have you been wearing lately?

I've been duped! Sephora & Make Up For Ever glosses

It's so easy to get duped. You go out shopping you see something that catches your eye and once you get home.... You realize that you have 50 other products that look the same.

Does this sound like you? 

Well..That's totally me!

I originally was gifted with the MUFE Lab Shine Diamond Collection from Fabdiva20, sometime last year.

On one of my trips to Sephora I picked up a "similar" pretty pink gloss.


MUFE Lab Shine $18- $20

SEPHORA Lip Gloss $3.00 (on sale)

Can you guess which gloss is which?

They look VERY similar! 

Maybelline Dream Fresh BB in Deep

BB cream movement was something that I "wished" I could participate in. As several brands started to roll out their versions, there never was a color that fit me. Even though there was a"dark" was in some of the lines, they were way too light.

I can't even tell explain to you my excitement when I found a "deep" at the Maybelline Fall Trends event.

So far I have been wearing it straight for almost two weeks. I'm in love!


8-in-1 Skin Perfector:

• Blurs imperfections
• Brightens
• Evens skin-tone
• Smoothes
• Hydrates
• Enhances
• Protects with SPF 30
• Oil-Free

I may be getting too personal but it's a great feeling to be included. YES.. I said it. I love when brands incorporate a good range of skin tones in their lines. 

I am not just talking about dark tones. I spoke to a few ladies who actually found their perfect shade in the line (light/medium & medium/deep).

Here is a shot of me wearing the BB cream. 

Doesn't my skin look amazing!

Hopefully, this post will inspire someone out there to try it out. Regardless of what color you I know you will find a match. If you have any questions leave them in the comment box below.

The secret to long lasting heat-less curls!

I'm the type of girl who loves to change her hair style up regularly.

Whether it straight one week or curly another, it's a process that I put a lot of effort in.

I'm wearing Bella Dream Hair Extensions in Brazilian Curly

There is one process that I do that can last a full week and requires little maintenance!

I USE FLEXI-RODS

I wear them over night to keep the curls.

You do not need extensions to use flexi-rods.
It also doesn't matter what your hair type is, there is a rod size that will suit you.

Have you ever tried Flexi-rods before?
