These are the cutest! You can hang them from your bag, cell phone or use them as a keychain!

I wanted to introduce you to one of the most precious and special things I have come across. The J’adore Dior L’Or Limited Edition fragrance is available by order only and there is an extremely limited number of pieces worldwide. This special piece is hand-blown Baccarat Crystal made in France. The neck of the refillable bottle is carefully gilded with fine gold by master engravers, and is delivered with two 15ml refills. This unique version is encased in a white leather box, lined with gray satin. The box is handcrafted out of fine hardwood and cradles the J’adore bottle which is secured with hand-tied golden thread. This is a true collectors item and each is unique. Contact me to order: marisol_rivera@S5A.com

For J’adore L’Or, Fancois Demachy, Dior’s Perfumer-Creator, selected absolutes of the rarest flowers such as Rose de Mai and Jasmine de Grasse, grown exclusively at the heart of the Domaine de Manon. Together with Tahitian Vanilla and the Tonka Bean, these ingredients form a sensual composition.

Here are some of my favorite beauty picks right now for their versatility. The NARS New Order Highlighting Blush Powder is fantastic because it works with all skin tones. You can wear it layered with other makeup or on it’s own.

And of course you will need a good brush to blend your powder. The Lancome Highlighting Brush #3 allows you to blend, leaving no streaks or lines.

The Amazing Suvara airbrush tan is now here at the Saks spa! Their proprietary formula actually replenishes the skin and you never look streaky or orange. The solution is 100% natural, paraben free and infused with vitamins. We also have a secret weapon – celebrity tanning expert Anna Stankiewicz, names Allure Magazine’s “Best of the Best in New York”.

Over the last several years it’s become more and more documented that the UV radiation from the sun, tanning beds and tanning booths is very harmful. The challenge though, is that most people’s experience with a “spray-tan” is that it doesn’t look natural. Suvara solves that problem, through their products and experts. Suvara products have been formulated to not only provide you with the perfect tan, but to deliver healthy benefits to your skin.

Last week I had the unique opportunity to give some of my clients a very special beauty experience. MAC Cosmetics Senior Artist Keri Blair, was here to do makeup makeovers! With 16 years of experience and over 10 years of fashion show experience, she is a very influential makeup artist. Her creativity knows no bounds.

Keri did beautiful makeup all day long and imparted some of her vast makeup wisdom. Some of her top tips were:

• When putting on lipstick, work from the corners of the mouth in to ensure a perfect line.
• When adding a dark color to the crease and corners of these eyes for a pop, start at the outer edge of the iris and work out, instead of starting at the outer corner of your eye and working in. This helps with good blending and to give a nice shape.
• When applying cover-up to a blemish, let it dry for a few seconds before blending it in. This helps to cover more naturally.

Check out some more tips from Keri on creating the perfect smoky eye with MAC pigments in this video. It was truly amazing to have Keri here.
