Luxetips' Best of 2010 Holiday List!

Hello Divas!


So just like everyone else, I have a list of beauty and fashion products that rocked my world in 2010.  These are products I have worn out and will forever hold dear to my heart.  These products are so reflective of the Luxetips Lifestyle, that they had to have their very own special highlight!  So here is my Best of 2010 List:

1. Gap 1969 Always Skinny Jeans.   I was gifted these by GAP back in August and they have changed my view of jeans forever.  They are super comfy.  They make my butt look good. Plus the different washes are so stylish and will forever be in style!  More importantly, they are so affordable.  Only $60 and they fit as well as my $200 plus Hudson Jeans. GAP broke the mold with these babies.  I keep going back for more and will have all of the different washes soon! Certifiable.

2. Lancôme’s Définicils Precious Cells Mascara.  To be quite honest, I was a little skeptical about Définicils Precious Cells.  I mean how can you improve on an iconic classic mascara such as Définicils?  But Lancome did.  Precious Cells has changed my view of mascara forever.  The formula is creamy and it truly conditions your lashes.  This mascara gets my lashes long, separated and defined while also making them flexible and soft to the touch.  Plus my lashes seems to get longer and longer.  I could be dreaming, but I doubt it!

3. Clarisonic Plus.  Clarisonic is truly life changing and my face is smooth and I have less blemishes.  The body brush is phenomenal too and has been instrumental in removing layers of discoloration from my knees and the back of my ankles.  If you want smooth, blemish and wrinkle free skin, a Clarisonic is a must!

4. Four Truffles Body Butter.  This body butter is insane!  Love, love, love.  It is rich and creamy, yet non-greasy.  The scent is just amazing!  The ingredients are organic and all products are purchased from women owned cooperatives in Morocco and West Africa and 10% of profits go back to these women to help improve their communities.  Gorgeous for a cause. I love it.

5. Cara B Naturally Hair Care Products.  This all natural hair and skincare line is perfect for luxe baby.  The shampoo and conditioners are super moisturizing and they are not harmful to luxe baby's eyes, skin or hair.  They smell heavenly and I love them. 

6.  Tocca Fragrances.  With names like Brigitte, Stella, Cleopatra, and Bianca, you can't help but love Tocca's line of fine fragrances.  But the wonderful thing about Tocca is that these scents are truly unique and beautiful.  I love Tocca!  I am currently obsessed with Stella which has a strong Blood Orange scent.  What is there not to love??!

7. Fossil Stella Watch.  I was gifted this watch at Blogalicous 2010 and I receive so many compliments.  It is a show stopper and conversation starter.  It is chunky and elegant like a men's watch but with lots of bling! Certifiable.

This is my Best of 2010 list and guess what?  You can win some of these items starting Sunday, December 12! Yep!  I will giveaway one item a day over several days. Check back on Sunday and good luck!

Toodles!

Lancôme’s Définicils Precious Cells Mascara and Black Lash Friday Event

Hello Divas!

It is an early Sunday morning and I am up blogging and getting prepared for the week.  I am so thankful to God for all my blessings. He is so awesome!

I meant to write this post a while back, but it slipped my mind.  I don't know how because I wear this Mascara EVERYDAY.  I didn't think it was possible, but Lancôme created a Mascara that I know is better than the original Définicils. Amazing.  I have been wearing Lancôme’s Définicils Precious Cells Mascara since July and my lashes are insane right now.  This Mascara has given my lashes volume, length, and I have been losing less lashes.  Yep. No lie.  It seems to make lashes grow. 

I also discovered the trick to get crazy volume is to apply about 3 coats....2 coats is not enough.  But if you wipe the brush before applying each coat, it will give your lashes volume, definition, and length.  Here is a recent picture of my lashes with Precious Cells:

 

My lashes are just popping off the screen! I love it!

As I previously reported, Lancôme’s Définicils Precious Cells is formulated with nourishing apple lysate.  This formula is like "skincare for the lashes."  


Also, Lancôme’s is having a fabulous Black Lash Friday Event.  How cute is that???!!!  Check out the sale below.  I am definitely, buying more Lancôme Precious Cells.  Although it is $40, it is so worth it and look at all the extra goodies I get with this sale!

Toodles!

Lancôme’s Définicils Precious Cells Mascara: My Review

Hello Divas!

I hope your life is filled with love and beauty.

As you know, I am having a contest on Luxetips.com giving away a tube of Lancôme’s Définicils Precious Cells Mascara.  Lancôme sent me out of tube to try and the following is my review:

I have been using the Mascara for almost a week and overall I am pleased.  Définicils Precious Cells reminds me of a more creamier version of the original Définicils.  It gives crazy length, but I did not see as much volume as it claims.  If you want unbelievable volume, stick with Hypnose.  The helix-shaped brush is super cool.  It allowed me to coat every lash..even the tiny inner corner lashes.  I loved that.  Notably, the Mascara does not run.  At the end of the day, even in the stifling humid heat, the Mascara stayed in place and did not cause black eyes...running Mascra. LOL!  But I believe the best feature of Définicils Precious Cells is that my lashes are soft and flexible and not hard.  The creamy formula infused with nourishing apple lysate, definitely kept my lashes conditioned and nourished.  I guess the soft and flexibility of the Mascara is what reduces lash lost as Lancôme claims.  As I stated before, skincare for the lashes! Nice.

I am going continue to use Définicils Precious Cells instead of my original Définicils.  I am really enjoying the slight change.

Remember you can purchase Définicils Precious Cells exclusively at Nordstroms.  It retails for $29.  Or if you like enter here to win a free tube to try.

Win a tube of Lancôme’s New Mascara! Définicils Precious Cells

Hello Divas!

I hope life is treating you fabulously!

When I received the news about Lancôme’s new Mascara, Définicils Precious Cells, I was jumping for joy! Literally.  Especially when I realized the new Mascara is an amazing enhancement to Lancôme's all time best Mascara, Définicils.  I discovered Lancôme because of Définicils.  It is my favorite Mascara. Period.

Lancôme states, "Définicils Precious Cells is the first Mascara to regenerate the condition of your lashes and minimize lash loss.  The Mascara's creamy formula and helix-shaped brush claims to define and create volume lash by lash."  Wow!  I know Définicils defines every lash and lengthens my lashes like crazy, so I can't wait to try Définicils Precious Cells.

Définicils Precious Cells contains the nourishing apple lysate.    Lancôme uses this ingredient in their famous Absolue Precious Cells skincare collection.  So basically this Mascara is like amazing skin care for your lashes. Love it.

At this moment, Définicils Precious Cells is available exclusively at Nordstroms and retails for $29.00. It will officially be available everywhere else in August.  However, Lancôme is offering one lucky Luxetips.com reader a tube of this ground breaking Mascara right now! Yep.  Simply leave a comment on this blog telling me why you want to try this product!  Contest starts today and ends on Friday, July 16th at midnight.

Also I will post a review of my experience with the Mascara very soon. Stay tuned!

Toodles!
