Here are my must haves for any summer get-away flight:

Claudalie VinoGo Weekend KitThe Caudalie VinoGo Weekend Kit is your complete beauty regimen in petite travel size bottles perfect for any travel bag. You will get a Foaming Cleanser, Beauty Elixer, Contour Cream Eyes and Lips, Energizing Cream, Lip Conditioner, Shower Gel and Body Lotion all for only $32 at www.Sephora.com.

For all of us make-up junkies, Cargo Color Cards are incredible! One box contains 28 cards of single use eye shadows, which you can apply with your fingertip or brush. This gives you the perfect wash of color on your lid to keep you looking fabulous poolside. What I love most is that the cards are almost weightless and can be tucked away for a quick pick-me-up whenever or wherever needed.

Benefit’s Just In Case is another must have for any travel bag. This mini kit contains just what you need to keep you looking fresh and new all weekend long, no matter how late you plan on staying out.

This is perfect to keep with you at all times for a quick touch up and contains your favorite one hit wonders from Benefit. Some Kind-A-Gorgeous for a glowing complexion, California Kissin’ to brighten up your smile and freshens your breath, Benetint for rosy lips and cheeks, and Eyecon to help brighten the eye area.

For added lip gloss which I am actually addicted too, you will love Sugar Mini Sticks. Just throw your favorite in your bag and glam it up all day and night.

Don’t forget your sunscreen! I love the Peter Thomas Roth Instant Mineral SPF 30. You can apply over your makeup and keep reapplying all day long. This is a definite must have for any summer outing!

Roll on fragrance is the way to go when it comes to traveling. This way you will never open your luggage to a spilled bottle or a broken glass. Fragrance is very personal and there are so many to choose from, but I love to smell soft and shower fresh when I am out and about so I love the Clean Fragrance line.

The Clean Shower Fresh Rollerball fragrance is amazing! You will smell like you just stepped out of a shower all day and I always get a ton of compliments when I wear this one.
Now it’s time to grab a bag and start packing! Summer is here and we all need a little weekend get-away to take a break and unwind! Remember the less you pack, the more you can shop when you are away so have fun, be safe, and look and feel gorgeous on your get-away!

With these record breaking hot days, I have been a huge fan of the cream color products. Don’t you feel like you are going to melt in this hot summer sun? That’s why cream color products are the best way to get the look you want and stay looking fresh all day.

For eyes, try an eye base that has color to give your eyelid a nice “pop”. MAC makes incredible paint pots that you can use alone or as an eye base for shadow and they last all day long.

Revlon EyeGlide eyeshadow pen is perfect for summer touch ups all day because it comes in a pen form that you can keep in your bag for easy application. I love these for a wash of shimmer shadow without the fuss of brushes.

Don’t forget a coat of your favorite waterproof mascara. I only say waterproof because you never know when you may get the opportunity to get wet so be sure you are ready! The pool is calling! Maybelline Great Lash in Black Black Waterproof mascara is a must have for any makeup bag.

For Cheeks, I am in love with cheek stains! They last all day and don’t move no matter what the heat can bring. Benetint has always been my favorite. Benetint has a perfect pink color great for all skin types and you can build on the color to get the look you are going for.

Benetint looks great on lips too! So you can get a two in one with this product. You can also find a Pocketpal of Benetint at your local Sephora or at www.Sephora.com and you can touch up whenever needed.

Stila Convertible Color is also a great way to give your cheeks a pop of color and also give you lips a pink pout. What is great about this Convertible Color is that it comes in the compact form with a mirror so you can keep it with you and reapply as needed. Great to keep in your bag for a quick pick me up after a long day. Perfect for cheeks and lips.

Lips is where you can have a lot of fun! I love a lot of gloss any time of year and I must own at least 50! Don’t you feel like you can always use another gloss Maybelline Super Stay lip gloss has incredible wear and will stay glossy for hours. You can find this at your local drugstore or at www.Maybelline.com. With 16 shades to choose from, you will probably want a few.

Remember, no matter where you are you need sun protection. An SPF 30 minimum and be sure to reapply throughout the day. Now, go glam it up this summer with these few products to give you the perfect summer glow that lasts all day long.

Mineral makeup has taken over the cosmetic complexion world and unless you haven’t been to a cosmetics counter or boutique in the past year, you have definitely tried a mineral foundation at some point. I am a huge fan of mineral makeup! I absolutely love the look, feel, and wear of the makeup and thought I had tried them all until now. I found the most incredible mineral makeup and it is the answer to all of your foundation and color needs!

RawMinerals from Raw Natural Beauty is the latest mineral makeup line to hit the market and the moment you touch, tap, and blend the minerals into your skin you will be in love!Now, I know what you are thinking, what could make this mineral makeup different than the other hundreds of mineral makeup’s that are out there? For the first time, your skin will truly experience a mineral formula made of an all-natural, non-irritating, flawless, lightweight coverage that is packed with botanical ingredients that are going to condition and improve the overall radiance of your skin.

RawMinerals is free of parabens, petrochemicals, talc, alcohol, synthetic dyes and fragrances, and is the answer to anyone who has suffered with problem skin, dry skin, or sensitive skin. This line of minerals will not block your pores and allows your skin to breathe. Talc is usually one of the most concentrated ingredients in mineral makeups; however, this is completely talc free. Many people are allergic to talc which can cause the irritation or make you think mineral makeup is not for you. I have to say, try RawMinerals from Raw Natural Beauty. I feel that I have tried them all, and nothing compares to the look and feel of RawMinerals.

I also love that the line has brushes that feel incredible on the skin, almost weightless and the coverage is buildable and flawless. RawMinerals contains ingredients that no other mineral line has. ActivSilk to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, Natural Corn Extract to promote radiance, Soybean Extract to calm redness, and a VitaFirm Complex to smooth and firm skin. The result is gorgeous glowing skin, but I will let you be the judge. Check out www.RawNaturalBeauty.com and discover the collections that are perfect for you.

I will be back with some tips and techniques on the how to create amazing looks with the high-performance color line so stay tuned!

Betty Beauty Inc. has been taking the nation by storm and founder, Nancy Jarecki, has only just begun. If you are not sure what Betty Beauty products are, lets make it really simple for you. Betty Beauty is all about changing the way your hair looks, but not on your head. Betty Beauty gives you the opportunity to truely give yourself a full body makeover, including changing the way your hair looks “down there.” That’s right! Betty Beauty currently offers nine different shades of creative hair color for those private places we really want to give a boost of color. There is even a hot pink shade perfect for anyone who loves to have fun! Planned for 2008, Betty Beauty will bring you Malibu Betty which is an aqua blue shade and a Blonde Betty which is sandy blonde color. Now, don’t worry, all Betty’s come with stencils and the new shades will include stencils of a butterfly and a flower. I love this! Betty Beauty is all about having fun and getting creative!

My personal favorite is the most fun! There is a Bridal Betty available in the bright blue Malibu Betty and it comes with wedding themed stencils of a dove and a heart. Remember, you always need something blue on your wedding day so why not let that be you! So fun!

For 2009, Betty Beauty will be expanding into a face foundation line to help hide scars. This is a product Jarecki has been personally on the search for because she too has scars from a past burn accident that she has always wanted the perfect foundation for herself. “You can’t even tell you have makuep on,” says Jarecki of the new foundation and the retail will be between $30 - $50.

Betty Beauty is currently available online at BettyBeauty.com as well at spa locations. This is the best product for all of us who like to spice things up or just want to have some fun! I have used the Brown Betty myself, and it is so easy to use and takes no time at all!

The latest launch for Betty Beauty is her Black Betty for Men. Women aren’t the only ones who need a little help changing the color of the “hair down there” and there are even eight different stencils you can use to really personalize your male betty.

Don’t be shy, take a peek at BettyBeauty.com and I know you will be just as curious as I was to have some fun with the color of your betty!
