Physicians Formula

One of my all-time favorite drugstore brands, Physician's Formula, has come out with a 3-in-1 eyebrow tweezer, definer, and brow comb called Brow-Tweez. Intrigued? Here's how it works. One side of the wand contains a minisized pair of stainless-steel tweezers, and the other side houses the brow pencil. The cap of the pencil side also comes equipped with a minisized brow brush. It's pretty much everything you'd need for on-the-go grooming.

Brow-Tweez is available in three different shades (dark brown, light brown, and dark blonde) to suit most eyebrows and hair tones. Also, it is fragrance free, hypoallergenic, and safe for those who wear contact lenses.

The best part is that all of this costs just $7.95. Getting gorgeous brows doesn't have to break the bank. When I find a bargain this great, I just can't resist. What do you think of Brow-Tweez?

Now that we've taken a closer look at brightening eye creams, under-eye makeup pens, primers and skin creams, the last genre to cover is brightening foundations. These three products below are the perfect pick-me-ups for your skin, especially during the dreary winter months. Not only do they create an illuminating effect, they also provide excellent coverage and will make you look picture-perfect for all of your holiday parties!

Physician's Formula Brightening Foundation ($9.99) contains pearlescent pigments to provide you with a subtle brightening effect, a soft skin tone and an overall healthier look. It is formulated with vitamins A, C, and E to help protect the skin from environmental damage, and the formula is non-comedogenic.

Welcome back to part two of Fantastic Felt-Tip Eyeliner Pens. In part one, we saw a mix of designer and drugstore brands. Today we take a peek at a couple of waterproof eyeliner pens.

LORAC Front Of The Line Waterproof Eyeliner ($20) is a waterproof and smudge-proof liquid eyeliner pen. This easy-to-use pen, which is more like a magic marker for your eyes, makes precision a cinch. Just draw a thin line for a classical seductress look, or a thick line for a more dramatic rocker type of eye. It is available in black, brown and dark green.

These cover palettes are more than just cute and colorful—they're essential tools of the trade. Each shade serves a different function. Purple brightens while hiding age spots and sun spots, green neutralizes redness, tan camouflages, and yellow masks dark circles. You first heard me talk about this genius concept in a post about the T. Le Clerc Corrector Palette. Believe it or not, I'm almost done with mine and so I've been exploring some more concealer palettes that are new to the scene. I can't wait to hear what you think! Also, for more more individual concealers I love, click here.

Currently, Physician's Formula has more than 40 bronzers on the market, and I am pleased to say that I have tried just about every single one of them. I am a big fan of this brand, because I feel like I can really trust these bronzers to give me a natural-looking tan without any fake orange undertones.

Also, I have sensitive skin, and since Physician's Formula bronzers are hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and talc-free, they don't irritate my face. Also, most of their bronzers are multi-shaded, so they can be used as bronzer, blush, and contour all in one compact!

These products come in a wide variety of browns flecked with pinks, peaches, and golds to bring warmth to your pale skin. I'm obviously very familiar with these, so if you need help finding the perfect bronzer for your skin tone, don't hesitate to come to me with questions!

Right now is the season to embrace bronzers. This makeup is a safe ways to create a sun kissed, healthy glow. Just remember not to go overboard when applying them, and remember to accent your nose, cheeks, and forehead in the areas where the sun would normally hit your face.

Welcome to part three of a five part series on Spring lip glosses! To see parts I and II, for violet and berry glosses, click here. Corals, bright oranges and racy rust tones are a hot beauty trend that have been seen on the runways and all over the cosmetics counters for Spring! Here are three of my favorite cool coral lip glosses:

Coral Lip Gloss by Jouer Cosmetics $18, is an ultra sheer soft shade of coral. This color would look great with a tan! The gloss is silky, high in shine and it lasts long on your lips. I love the texture of this gloss because it's not sticky whatsoever!

Welcome to the second installment of Eye Palettes To Enhance Your Eye Color. To see the palettes for hazel eyes click here. This post focuses on brown palettes to make brown eyes pop! If you are a brown eyed girl, then you know that bronze (and even golden green) shadows accentuate your warm browns.

After consulting with many makeup mavens and experts, I've discovered that it takes more than just one color to make your brown eyes beautiful and brilliant. The perfect palette is hard to come by, but I've found a few that get the job done well. Each of these include three to four shades of just the right browns and bronzes to perfectly enhance your eyes.

The lightest neutral shade is the accent color that should go just beneath your brow-bone, the medium color should be swept all over your lid and the darkest gets applied to the crease. Stay tuned for more palettes later this week to suit your eye color!

Very Sexy® Makeup Mosaic Eye Shadow in Eye Contact, $18, is a palette of four shades that can be worn alone or layered together to create a stunning, eye-opening effect that's all your own. I suggest using the lightest color in the v of your inner eye to add a special bright sparkle to your beautiful brown eyes.

Nars Bronzing Powder in Laguna , $28, is my all time fave bronzer. It's got just the right amount of shimmer in it and there is no trace of orange in the undertones. I can wear it during any season and it blends well with any shade of blush I pair it with. It gives me the best all over glow and I can even dust it along my collar bones for contouring.

Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder, $32, in medium has yet to let me down. Since it is a matte blush, it's great for shading or for dusting all over your face as a deep toned powder. It will give your skin a sun kissed, healthy radiance. You can also use it all year round and it lasts forever! It is available in five shades.
