Carolyn Braden and Clinique's Blushing Blush

For a great blush similar to the best selling Nars blush, try Clinique's Blushing Blush in Precious Posy. I like Clinique's pink-ish peach-coral because it has a little more pink in it. I also like it because it is only $20.00 and will last a very long time, even with daily use.

Carolyn Braden: Trying Tarte Waterproof Bronzer

Tarte's Amazonian Clay Waterproof Bronzer is perfect for keeping the summer glow going until you get it back next summer. It is sparkle-free, making it a very natural look. The best part is that is lasts all day. I used Bare Minerals Warmth prior to Tarte's Bronzer and Tarte is a clear winner. I love Warmth but I had to re-apply it often. Tarte is a great make-up line. I love their gel cheek stains and glosses.

Carolyn Braden, Disco Queen

Look to the disco era for an upcoming style. There's something about disco style that makes us all want to put on our boogie shoes.
I also really like dance wear as daily clothing. Not leotards and tutus, but flowy skirts, loose tops over cami-tanks and ballets flats that actually look like ballet shoes (moveable leather ones).

Carolyn Braden says "Try a Matte Eye for Fall."

I am so glad someone has finally developed a matte eyeshadow kit! The Too Faced kit comes with "how to" cards to help anyone achieve (yes, even an amateur makeup artist) the perfect day or night matte eye.

Carolyn Braden says "No more makeup with Burt's Bees."

My sister told me to blog about this product. She has extremely sensitive skin but this is one product that keeps her face free of irritation. This makeup remover towelette truly does what the packaging says. She even showed me the wipe after taking off her makeup and sounded like a commercial saying "Look, no eyelashes!" She said washcloths always cause too much eyelash loss. With using Burt's Bees wipes, her eyelashes stay put.

Carolyn Braden: Try EOS

EOS, or "the evolution of smooth", products are truly unique. The beautiful candy colored packaging catch your attention and make you NEED to try them. The hand lotion smells fresh and is not greasy. The shave cream allows you to shave wet or dry. I bought the lip balm in almost every color and flavor available. I stash them everywhere so I always have the smoothest lips no matter where I am.


Don't they look like perfect Easter eggs?
