Save Makeup Save Money!

Thursday, February 27, 2014


I've been a huge fan of Lara Ramos of the Glossarie ever since the very first Allure BBA.  I simply adore her writing style and girlie flair.  I recently came across an article she wrote for HSN that i felt was so informative that i couldn't help but share it with my lovely readers as well!  In this article, Lara shares some wonderful tips for stretching your makeup supply!  I can certainly relate to all, especially toting a dozen lip situations all within the same shade around town!  I mean... doesn't everybody?  I'll add that opting for a vinyl makeup bag may be a wonderful thing because you can simply wipe it down every so often with makeup removing wipes to keep all your pretties... well, pretty!  Ok, enough rambling, check out this amazing article for yourself and show my fellow Allure finalist some love! Who knows... you may walk away having learned something new!   XOXO, Carla - FMM

Tatcha Indigo Skincare Collection


This time of year does quite the number on the skin!  That's why it's so important to arm yourself with a few key products to ensure your skin is baby soft all year round!  I recently tried Tatcha's Indigo Skincare Collection and fell madly in love with this powerful trio!  I noticed a major difference from the very first use!  I was instantly intrigued by its very distinctive color!  You see, these luxurious cremes are the prettiest shade of blue and are known for their deeply soothing and restorative powers.  The stems, leaves and petals of the Indigo plant are steeped in water and fermented to make a concentrated botanical extract. Significant scientific research shows that Indigo is remarkably effective at relieving symptoms of those suffering from conditions such as dermatitis and  may be used in place of steroids as well as other prescription treatments.  Yes, they're that powerful and that intense!  No wonder my skin feels uhhhh-mazing!

The Soothing Silk Hand Cream holds prime real estate on my night stand.  Every night before bed, i apply this beauty on my hands.  When i wake up, I'm ensured deeply hydrated, silky smooth hands!  I make sure to slather my hands once again in the morning before leaving the house to keep them feeling gorgeous all day long!

The Soothing Silk Body Butter feels delicious on my skin.  I keep this beauty in my bathroom so that i never go without it!  As soon as i step out of the shower, this is the first product that graces my skin.  I've noticed a significant difference in my knee caps and elbows in particular since i began using this product.  I'm smitten!

The Soothing Renewal Treatment is seriously my life saver!  I've used this product not only on myself on days when nothing else seems to help... but on my little girls as well!  They've had quite a few cases of eczema this winter and even when my most reached for and trusted cream didn't do the trick... this baby did!  The Soothing Renewal Treatment cleared most of their dry patches within a couple of uses. I am so grateful for this amazing product!  It has honestly helped me tremendously and i will never go without it again!  Totally worth the slightly hefty price tag in my opinion!


Have these beauties peeked your interest?  You can purchase them here.  They are simply amazing!

Thank you SO MUCH for reading! XOXO, Carla

Be My Valentine!

Friday, February 14, 2014

Be My Valentine!

Ahhhh Valentine's Day!  While i was never a huge fan of this particular holiday, my perspective changed once my little girls were born.  Having them in my life made me want to celebrate the heck out of this day!  But you know, it's not all about them!  Here are a few things this mommy is absolutely loving right now!  

Too Faced Sweetheart Perfect Flush Blush - OK while at Sephora the other day, i absolutely fell in love with this stunner!  Aside from the fact that it's heart shaped and adorable, these lovely shimmery shades will brighten your complexion and give you that 'just made out with a super cute guy' flushed look instantly!  I have seriously found my new favorite blush!  I'm currently sporting it in Peach Beach! 

When i spotted this Picnic for Two basket at Anthropologie my heart skipped a beat!  Gosh it's been years since my hubby and i have gone on a picnic!  Wait, did i just say gosh?!  I'm getting old! Ok focus Carla... Sometimes, it's the simple things that fill heart.  I may have to pick this up and plan a little picnic for us... now if only this dang snow would finally go away!  Can you tell i've had enough?  We are snowed in again!  Ok enough ranting... 

Valentines' Days is synonymous with pink right?  Well, i think i've found the perfect pink to dazzle your manis and pouts this V Day! Check out this spectacular Bobbi Brown 'Uber Pinks' polish in pink peony!  This shade will turn heads!  Perhaps i'm a bit partial to the name as peonies are my absolute favorite flowers!  If you're looking for the perfect compliment to your pretty pink mani, consider this stunning Jouer Lip Gloss in Malibu... or if  you want to be real matchy matchy, they also make a pretty little pink in "peony"! These glosses add just the right amount of color while keeping your pretty pout hydrated and looking its best!  I absolutely adore them!

One might say i have a slight obsession with Alex and Ani bracelets!  I can't help myself... they're just so addicting! I swear, the bigger the stash the better the arm candy!  I hope my sweetie surprises me with this pretty little number... but if not, i'll get it for myself!  Why not right?! 

Everybody loves a sweet love note!  With all this new technology, emails, text messages etc... love notes have become a thing of the past.  But this old fashioned girl still loves a great hand written love note... this card completely stole my heart!  

Whatever you decide... i hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!  If you don't have a valentine... consider making today all about you!  We all need a little pampering... why not pamper your pretty little self!  Happy Valentine's Day lovies! xoxo Carla

Oh wait... there's MORE!  Read up...

Little Green

Tuesday, February 11, 2014


My little twin girls are my life.  From the day they were born, I've committed myself to being the best mommy I could possibly be.  Sure... I'm human and have my days... but when it comes to feeding their bodies and skin, I will settle for nothing but the best.  I was that mommy who cooked all of their baby food.  I'm that mommy who buys a batch of organic chicken breast every week, cuts it into strips, seasons it and places them in individual portions to freeze and use when needed instead of opting to microwave a quick dinner for them.   Don't get me wrong, I pass no judgement on anyone who chooses to do different... what ever works for you and your family is obviously what's best for you.  This is just something I chose to do for my girls.

 Lately, I've noticed their skin has been very dry.  This winter has been quite harsh on all of us and their delicate little skin is no exception. When a pretty little package of Little Green products arrived at my door, I can honestly say that the timing could not have been more perfect!  I'd noticed Olivia scratching her leg viciously.  When I peeked, I noticed a large dry patch of skin.  I quickly reached for the Little Green Soothing Balm and applied it to the driest areas in her body (elbows and knees).  Then I followed with Little Green Nourishing Body Lotion.  Her skin was instantly soothed and hydrated and no longer itchy.  Mimi wanted in on the action too so I quickly lathered her up with these beauties.  She quite enjoyed this little bit of pampering... after all, who wouldn't right?!  I found the Shampoo/Body Wash to be the perfect compliment to the lotion and balm.  In fact, I noticed that just after two uses, the dryness never returned!  These products are wonderful, natural... and I can rest assured that they're safe!

I'm officially a fan and will absolutely replenish when I run out.  My girls have become fans of Little Green products as well and demand an impromptu lathering during and after their nightly shower!  I'm so impressed with Little Green products and highly recommend them to all mommies out there.

So lets chat... have any of you mommies out there tried Little Green products?  What were your thoughts?  Did your little ones enjoy them as much as mine did? 
Thank you SO MUCH for reading! XOXO Carla - FMM

Winter Skin Essentials

Sunday, February 9, 2014

Winter Skin Essentials
This has been quite the harsh winter and it has totally taken a toll on my skin!  Thankfully, I've discovered a few uhhh-mazing beauties to keep me in winter survival mode.  The other day, a phenomenal mask arrived at my doorstep!  Kerafole by Bioelements is a deep purging facial mask that reveals fresh, radiant skin with natural exfoliators.  A favorite of celebrity fitness guru Tracy Anderson, this powerful  mask reveals new radiance, smoothes and brightens, uncovers and revitalizes skin.  You'll notice a difference in as little as one use!  I know i did!

Scientific Brightening Serum by Kenneth Beer MD is just what the doctor ordered this winter.  This little powerhouse helps minimize the appearance of skin discoloration and pigment spots.  It helps create a more even skin tone and brighter complexion while reducing redness in skin tone.  This is so major for me since redness is one of my biggest skin struggles!  This serum is a brightening cocktail that is Hydroquinone Free and works wonder on my skin, particularly this time of year!

Enza Essentials has been a favorite skincare line of mine.  While I am constantly testing out new skincare, there are certainly a few brands that just stand out for me and this is one of them.  Their products are high quality and feel uhhhh-mazing on my skin!  Lets chat about their Lip Treatment!  I'm obsessed with great lip products and this one is probably one of the very best I've tried thus far!  I use this every night before bed and every morning before leaving the house.  My lips have never felt so good in my life... obsessed!  BTW did you enter my Instagram giveaway?   You could win one of these babies yourself (valued at $30)! Check out all the details here!

Speaking of Enza Essentials, I was recently gifted their lovely body lotion and shower gel for my birthday.  OH EM GEE... they feel incredible and smell delicious!  If you're a lavender lover like me, you'll die for these lovelies!  The shower gel is fragrant and hydrating.  The lotion leaves my body feeling smooth and pretty.  Love love LOVE!

A couple of months ago, I teamed up with P & G for an amazing giveaway for a FAB bag (the same one gifted at the people's choice awards).  I completely fell in love with one of the products inside this bag and have been using it ever since.  Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Super Cream is so hydrating.   It leaves my skin feeling soft and nourished.  Oh and can we talk about how gorgeous it smells?!  Love this stuff... pssst... I hear it's a favorite of Tim Gunn's! 

So these beauties help me combat this crazy harsh winter we are enduring here in Jersey.  What are some of your winter go-to products?  Any recommendations? 

Thank you SO MUCH for reading! XO Carla - FMM

Award Season Hair with ECRU

Wednesday, February 5, 2014

I just love award season!  There is nothing more exciting than watching celebs parade down the red carpet in their finest gowns sporting the latest trends in hair and makeup.  While every once in a while we'll spot a few faux pas, it's so exhilarating when a starlet gets it right!  This year's Golden Globes had a few beauties creating some major hair envy all around the globe!  Check out how you can get these gorgeous red carpet locks right in the comfort of your very own living room carpet!

Hair Hustler Like Amy Adams

For a fun and messy chignon - Apply Acacia Protein BB Cream to dry
hair and comb through, this will keep fly-aways smooth and leave hair shiny.
Part hair as desired and comb into a low pony. Work a small amount of
ECRU New York¹s Silk Texturizing Balm into the remaining ends. This
will make it easier to wrap (throughout  your head )into a “messy” chignon and secure with pins.
Bombshell and Glamorous Hair Like Olivia Wilde (she got my vote for best look of the evening!)


For GLAMOROUS bombshell hair, apply ECRU New York
Acacia Protein Oil to wet hair before blow drying and styling. Work a
bit more of the Acacia Protein Oil into the ends of dry hair for added
shine and finish off the look with ECRU New York Finishing Styling

Easy Breezy Bun Like Julianna Margulies


Sleek and Gorgeous and easy to do instantly!
Create volume in the crown by blow drying hair with ECRU
New York's Voluminizing Silk Mist.  Secure hair at the nape in a low

ponytail, allowing hair around the face to fall free. Divide pony into

two sections and pull in opposite directions. This will create volume

in the crown ­ wrap the remaining hair in a loose bun and secure with
pins. Leave a few strands out for an easy-breezy look.  Finish with off the look with ECRU New York Finishing Spray MAX.


So no worries!  This award season, or any season really... ECRU has got your covered!  Go ahead and replicate some of these gorgeous looks at home!  They're fun and easy to achieve with just a few good ECRU products in hand!  If you do, I'd love for you to tag me in your photos!  Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Beauty Addicts


It's no secret that i'm a beauty addict, so when the brand Beauty Addicts sent over some of their gorgeous tributes to Pantone's 2014 color of the year Radiant Orchid, i took major notice!  I'll be honest, i'd actually never heard of this brand before.  However, when i began to play with some of these beauties, i became instantly smitten!  Here's why!


Fierce

Tease


I love a great lip situation!  Beauty Addicts Lip Addiction in Tease and Fierce have quite possibly become an instant favorite of mine.  First, the formula is hydrating, applies smoothly without stickiness or heaviness and the color is intense.  Best of all, it lasts!  I actually didn't think i'd be able to pull off the lighter of these two shades and turns out... it's my new fave.  I love pairing this beauty with sultry, smokey eyes.




Speaking of sultry, smokey eyes... check out Beauty Addicts' SolutionEYES palette in Motivate!  This eye shadow quad is a gorgeous combination of blend-able shades formulated to mix flawlessly for a seamless application balancing shimmers and mattes perfectly.  The shades range from fleshy nudes to deep purple.  This quad is highly pigmented and applies well.  I love to use every color in one single use to add interest and drama.


I have very quickly become obsessed with this brand and cannot wait to try a few more of their products.  The formulas are amazing and high quality!  The glosses are my new go-to everyday situations for sure!  These colors are a great way to incorporate the new Radiant Orchid trend into your everyday look!

So lets chat... have you tried Beauty Addicts?  What products should i try next?

Thank you so much for reading! xo Carla - FMM

January Labs


As a beauty blogger, I test a whole lot of skincare but only a select few actually make it to FMM.  You see, I take skincare very seriously.  I'm in my late thirties and know the importance of creating a good skincare regimen in order to preserve and maintain youthful looking skin.  When I find a gem, I  immediately have to share it with my loyal readers.  I'm a little bit of an instant gratification  kind of girl, but I realize that testing out skincare takes time and patience. However, there are a few select products that instantly make your skin glow!  January Labs, created by the gorgeous January Olds is a quality skincare brand that is fast growing.  Their press coverage pretty much speaks for itself having graced major publications such as Lucky Magazine, Real Simple Magazine, W Magazine and the Zoe Report.  "January Labs takes the same approach to their skincare blends as to those used in fine cooking recipes: each individual ingredient plays a pivotal role in the finished product and each must enhance and support the others."  As a January baby myself, this skincare line immediately resonated with me!


First, as a lover of great packaging, I adore the simplicity and style of January Labs' packaging.  The inside of their boxes is graced with the most eye catching mosaic print.  Yellow tones for the day cream and blue tones for the night cream... and if that doesn't give it away... just look to the tiny moon/sun in the upper right hand corner of the box! Genius right?!


 The Retexturizing Night Cream promises to transform skin as your rest with their fiercely-active ingredients.  This cream encourages skin regeneration and rejuvenation in a lactic acid-based formula and is safe for sensitive skin types.  The complimentary ingredients offer intense hydration, beneficial exfoliation that keeps skin smooth, soft and youthful, as well as treatment of skin irritation such as acne.  While I don't typically suffer from breakouts, my skin reacted well to this product.  My skin felt hydrated, nourished and smooth every morning.  This cream was very easy on my sensitive skin!

Features and Benefits

  • Lactic Acid: improves skin texture and hydration level.
  • Hyaluronic Acid: strengthens elasticity and helps to repair skin tissue.
  • Fruit extracts: fight free radical damage.
  • Peptides: boost collagen synthesis and reinforce skin barrier.
  • Beta Glucan: smoothes fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Great for problem skin

How to use

Apply nightly to cleansed skin, avoiding eye area.


The Revitalizing Day Cream was the perfect compliment to the night cream.  It has been a harsh winter here in Jersey, so I'm always on the lookout for a moisturizer that is intense enough without feeling heavy on my skin.  This cream was the perfect balance for me!  The Revitalizing Day Cream promises to get your skin glowing at the start of your day.  It promotes skin rejuvenation in one fiercely active formulation.  Fine lines are minimized, elasticity restored, skin is firmed, plumped and hydrated.  The rare botanical formula is rich in antioxidants and helps to reduce the appearance of discoloration and the occurrence of sensitivities.  I seriously love this cream.

Features and Benefits

  • Hyaluronic Acid: Strengthens elasticity and helps to repair skin tissue.
  • Fruit extracts: Helps fight free radical damage.
  • Peptides: Boosts collagen synthesis and reinforce skin barrier.
  • Beta Glucan: Smooths fine lines and wrinkles.
  • B Vitamins and fatty acids: Adds moisture and enhances skin tone.
  • Allantoin: Promotes cell healing.

How to use

Apply daily to clean skin. Follow with your chosen SPF product.

OK remember how I mentioned earlier my love of 'instant gratification' products?  Well, I'm about to share with you the superstar product of this collection!  Ready?! 



The Glow and Go Power Peel Exfoliant is quite possibly a holy grail skincare product!  Let me clarify how intense this product is.  The first time I used it, I didn't actually follow the instructions.  I used it in the shower by simply rubbing it all over my face and washed it off.  My skin felt crazy good!  Of course, I read the instructions right after and realized that I was actually suppose to leave it on!  Haha bad Carla!  I quickly thought, wow, if my skin feels this amazing from simply washing my face with this stuff, I can only imagine how it would feel if I actually left the product on for 15 minutes as instructed! Well, I kid you not, my skin was literally GLOWING!  Wow... I have found my new favorite power peel!  The only con for me personally was the smell.  I was not crazy about the scent.  Don't get me wrong, it's very tolerable... just not appealing to me personally.  Honestly, this is a con I can certainly live with considering what it did to my skin! 

Features and Benefits

The "Glow and Go" Power Peel Exfoliant is a multi-action solution that oxygenates, exfoliates and increases circulation while reducing pore size. The cinnamon oil-rich Power Peel Exfoliant safely penetrates skin while causing a surge of heat that stimulates and activates the skin. It is also effective in dealing with uneven skin tone, oily, acneic, and dehydrated conditions.

How to Use

  • Step 1: On freshly cleansed skin, apply a generous amount of the Power Peel Exfoliant on face, neck and décolletage. A warm sensation, tightening and pulsing sensation is to be expected and varies with different skin types. Leave on for 15 minutes.
  • Step 2: Remove peel with water, or for best results use a combination of water and the Pure & Gentle Cleansing Gel.
  • Step 3: Finish treatment with Restorative Tonic Mist and Moisture Balancing Lotion.
Overall, I'm very impressed with January Labs!  The products are quality and this certainly reflected on the condition of my skin.  I highly recommend them to anyone searching for a new skincare regimen! 

Thank you SO MUCH for reading.  XOXO Carla - FMM
