Armani’s Eyes to Kill Excess might also be called the mascara to die for - it’s a jet black volumnizing mascara that turns lashes from ingenue to star quality. Lashes appear to have a wet, patent-like shine that adds intensity and depth to the eyes. Your baby blues become sapphire; brown orbs become a smoky topaz. The brush is unique; it’s a thick outsize roller that separates, coats and texturizes lashes with an ebony sheen. Depending upon your application you can keep the color modestly subdued for day and raise the volume when the moon comes out.. Whatever works for you - just keep EYES TO KILL EXCESS MASCARA at the ready. Due to recent innovations in texurizing agents lashes remain natural and flexible even when you’ve amped volume to the nth. We love to wear this mascara with one of Armani’s new lipsticks - Rouge d’Armani in #513 or #402 - perfect for those with fair skin.

We’re particular when it comes to fragrances, we don’t give our hearts easily but simply couldn’t help it - we fell in love with Armani’s ACQUA di GIOIA. This is a fragrance that makes us feel, warm, happy, invigorated, anticipatory, so glad to be alive in a world brimming with possibilities. It is a very natural fragrance, fresh with blended scents of crushed mint and Italian “Limone Primo Fiore Femminello", harvested from the first spring blossoms in Calabria. In addition, there are traces of Cedar and Brown Sugar. So very Armani - unblemished harmony. ACQUA di GIOIA is a morning, noon, and after hours fragrance as sunny as a Greek island by day and as intoxicating as ouzo by night. We also love the shape of the bottle, softly curved, reminiscent of gentle waves. Mr. Armani has overlooked nothing in the creation of his latest scent.

We're loving this Vegetal Finishing Spray from Rene Furturer who combines years of experience and scientific expertise to produce the finest in hair care. No more limp locks for us but a spray that provides lasting hold yet allows hair to move freely. Plus Vegetal Finishing Spray leaves hair with a fresh fragrance and satin finish. What's the secret? In addition to Mr. Furturer's expertise perhaps the addition of Vitamin B5 for moisture and suppleness as well as natural Cakile extract to help hair resist dryness. Whatever the secret it works!

Just when I reached for my tried and somewhat true makeup thinking there was nothing new under the sun along came VAPOUR ORGANIC BEAUTY. This new to me line was developed by Eric Sakas, a top professional in the beauty industry, co-founder of Kevyn Aucoin Beauty and former Director of Color for Philosophy, along with an artisanal cosmetic laboratory that uses only certified organic and food grade ingredients. What a serendipitous pairing! VAPOUR not only offers superior color artistry, but an easy to use method of application, and an ability to blend with skin whether it be as a foundation, lip color or blush. It is a mineral makeup that seems to become a part of your skin, moving and breathing with it yet enhancing your complexion. So natural! And because of this ability to become a part of your skin the Foundation does not fill in or accentuate any lines or wrinkles but simply seems to smooth over them. With an addition of moisture infusing botanicals plus anti-inflammatory Frankincense, anti-oxidant Tulsi (a plant known in India for its healing powers) and mositurizing Lotus flowers Vapour foundation not only gives skin an added luminosity but protects, hydrates as well. After applying in the morning with brush or fingertips there has been no need to reapply during the day.

Not getting enough sleep at night? Who in today's world is? Okay, I'll accept the fact that I'm no longer getting my 8 - 9 hour sleep requirement, but I certainly don't like to look like it in the morning. Enter TALIKA EYE DREAM. Now, when a top fashion/beauty mag enthuses about a product that's a pretty good indication that it's something special, and Eye Dream was called "An under eye mask that makes five hours of sleep look like eight." Perfect! Talika tells us that during sleep the delicate skin around the eyes loses up to 50% of its moisture, but on the bright side that is also when this skin is most biologically receptive to hydration and nourishing ingredients. That is precisely what Eye Dream delivers with ultra hydration plus regenerative elements and biopeptides. - Gail Cooke

There's a mere hint of Fall in the air, and I'm ready for it.- the beginning of a new season, a prelude to holiday parties, all against a backdrop of glorious autumn colors. And, of course, among those glorious colors are the shades in Bobbi Brown's latest collection. The color tones are stunning, subtle yet eye catching, and uber flattering. A must-have for me is the Autumn Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow in Golden Leaf II. It's a tempered sienna, soft and coppery, pearlized so there is a touch of golden glow. Quite unlike any other shade! Love to apply it with Bobbi's Eye Shadow Brush that provides easy access to corners of the eyes, and is perfect for contouring.

The founder of FACE Stockholm was recently awarded a medal for excellence by King Carl XVI Gustav of Sweden! Rightly so because FACE Stockholm has been receiving accolades from happy customers for some time. One of my favorites in this line is their Liquid Foundation, which is light as silk when applied yet provides either sheer or medium coverage depending upon your application. Further, the Foundation is enriched with Vitamin E and Kaolin to absorb impurities as it moisturizes. I like to apply with a cosmetic sponge for lighter coverage and with fingertips when a little more is needed. No need to touch up during the day as this foundation has staying power - as fresh in the evening as it was in the morning. - Gail Cooke

We all know there are days when a dry shampoo is a girl's best friend. At those times the best company one can keep is Refresh from T3 360. I've paid my dues with shakers that left a powdery mess and hair feeling tacky - no more! Not only is Refresh an amazing product but its aerosol container enables perfect, no-mess application. This dry shampoo thoroughly cleans and volumnizes resulting in refreshed, perfect for finger-running-through hair. No more oiliness, only a healthy shine. It's available in two shades and a breeze to use. Simply spray at roots of hair, brush through and then a few quick shots with your blow dryer. Restyle if you wish.

"Nobody's perfect" is one of my favorite sayings - I'm glad to have lots of company! So, I accept imperfections but why do they show up at such inconvenient times in the most conspicuous places? A pimple before a job interview? A blemish on my nose. These little surprises keep me humble and I keep Sampar Prodigal Pen. It's my mini magic wand that conceals and heals skin's unwanted visitors without leaving signs of any coverup. A mere 2 ½" long, about the size of a small lipstick, the Pen has a unique roller ball applicator that allows quick targeting of the offending spot. Sampar's Pen is composed of eight essential oils (including lavender, sage, thyme, and savory) that combine to do the trick. I never leave home without it! - Gail Cooke

The beauty of Mally Visible Skin is that it makes imperfections invisible. Let's face it (pun intended), some days are better skin days than others. On good skin days this foundation can be used dry, providing a full yet very natural looking light coverage that simply allows you to put your best face forward. On those other days, times when skin needs a little extra TLC, apply the foundation wet. This will provide further coverage yet skin will still remain ultra natural in appearance. (Hint: apply with a damp, not wet sponge.) Either way Mally's fantastic foundation delivers a poreless, flawless finish, a no-makeup look with an added glow. As my skin is light my favorite shade is "Fair." Love the slim pink compact with large mirror and compartment for the included sponge puff - love what Mally does for skin!
