If you are on the fence about beauty sampling boxes, now is the time to take the leap. Glossybox (what I consider to be the most luxurious sample box) has partnered with my favorite online luxury retailer, NET-A-PORTER to create a limited edition beauty box. I got my paws on one for an early preview and let me tell you, you’ll want this.

File this under somewhat random, but stay with me. I’ve been trying out Mood-lites the last couple of weeks. These colored light bulbs are designed to enhance your mood. Initially launched as porch lights, Mood-lites founder Kathryn Goetzke was intrigued with tweaking a commonly used product in a different way. These bulbs can be used to help encourage a mood. Or even in an artistic or festive way. They also make for great night lights at the mellow 25 watt power.
I’ve been a long-time by Terry fan. I am captivated by the fact that she developed the iconic YSL’s Touch d’Eclat before starting her own line. And I fell hard with the first of her products I tried, this beauty. Terry de Gunzburg Fragrances were somewhat of a surprise to me. I didn’t expect her to develop a perfume. But I knew she would do it incredibly well. I’ve been wearing all five scents over the past couple of weeks and honestly struggle to find a favorite. While some are heavier and some are fresher, I find them “season-less”. I didn’t go crazy layering and trying different combinations, but they are designed to be both worn alone and combined.
I’m pretty sure Hourglass Ambient Powders hit the beauty blogger / beauty editor world with an epic splash (don’t miss the review here). A little beauty blogger meet-up this last September in New York City (hi, Maree!) actually consisted of about 15 minutes of love for this revolutionary face powder / highlighter / bronzer / blush. I think we all issued a collective gasp when hourglass announced they were releasing a limited edition palette with two shades of their ambient powder along with a new limited edition Incandescent Light.
One day recently, I was having a chat with my twitter friend / fellow blogger / fellow Oklahoman, Irene, about her amazing hair. I am still struggling to come up with a routine after 34 years, but it always seemed she had hers down. So she’s on the blog today sharing her routine. Take it away, Irene!
