Beauty Sleep Checklist








It is a fact that Sleep is Essential , and its also important that we try our absolute best to preserve or even enhance our beauty during those crucial hours of the night. Here is my list of my must-have products to ensure the mornings are more than GOOD!




Dermologica Sebrum Clearing Mask - This Clay-based masque purifies and refines skin texture, calms inflammation and absorbs excess oil. I like to apply this mask to the t-zone area.





A SimpeCase SATIN HAIR CARE PILLOW CASE - beneficial to maintaining healthy hair, scalp and skin. For your scalp to feel its best, it needs to be properly attended to. A SimpleCASE SATIN HAIR CARE PILLOWCASE allows for the presence of two very vital elements — air and moisture.





Mary Green Sleep Masks - Ultra Fabulous and Luxurious sleep made easy with these comfy masks. I love the masks that display " Wildest Dreams" and "XOXO" among others.

Pictured above ( not listed in any particular order) : Heart charm necklace, Morning Star charm necklace,14k gold Love Knot Stud earrings,14k solid gold Square Stud, Stackable Hex Rings,Solid gold Hex Ring, Solid gold Faceted Cigar Band, The solid gold Fatty Ring, 36” of delicately wire wrapped stones.


I have become the biggest fan of Ariel Gordon Jewelry in the short time that I've become familiar with the line. What I love about these Sterling , Gold , Rose Gold pieces are that they are simple enough for everyday , yet with certain pieces - you can definitely pile them on and make a real statement for night.


All of these fabulous pieces are handcrafted, and all the stones are conflict free - another reason to love the line. All of these pieces would make perfect gifts for the holiday season.

Tarte Holiday 2009 Collection

Pictured, from top left clockwise : treasure chest - limited edition palette ($52) , three carats - limited edition mini cheek stain set ($25), crown jewels - lipgloss multi-gift set ($39)

I love that there is a gift for every budget , and each set is equally bling-worthy. Crown jewels is excellent, because you can separate it into three gifts, or give two sets out, and keep the third for your fabulous self !!! Treasure chest is a staple in the Tarte family, every year there is an ultra luxe palette , and every year the wow factor is turned up a notch . I love the jewel embellishments on the case, it will definitely add an extra sparkle in your boudoir. Last, but certainly not least, is three carats - so cute !!! I love anything that glitters !!

The Tarte Holiday 2009 Collection is available at : tarte.com, Sephora, sephora.com, beauty.com, Henri Bendel, and boutiques nationwide.
