Even though the economy is brining on interesting challenges, beauty seems to be an area that we continue to put money into. I still find it necessary to still enjoy my treatments as it's not only a way to relax but a necessity. I enjoy the services I receive in salons as much as I love buying products to use at home. I recently received this Deep Cleansing Mask from Nude Skincare. First this mauve colored product has a rubber like feel in terms of its packaging which is not only soothing but environmentally friendly. I have had the pleasure of using this and I love how it makes my skin feel amazing after using it.

For those that have oily skin, this is an amazing mousse like substance that takes away the oils that are excessive for your skin while also making sure that you still have skin that glows and looks amazing. This mask is definitely something that you can use once a week and through time you will see the results. With additional items within their line including items for the body (whether topical or ingested), you're bound to have amazing skin!

The best thing about being apart of the Coutorture network is to see a variety of writers that talk about various areas in fashion and beauty. When I first started writing, my focus was purely accessories. I enjoy writing about all items that within this category on See Pretty Things. Of course after writing about this, I realized that I wanted to be able to bring in entertainment and style so I included that within this blog - The Kitten Lounge. This site has definitely stepped it up by adding additional elements and today I launch Beauty! I am really excited that going forward, Thursday will covers makeup and cosmetics. I want to share with you my favorite products and those that have just hit the market! Previously I have posted about this here and there but to have this as an ongoing selection makes me very happy!

With that being said I am including my 2nd favorite item that I love using. Those who know me know that I love my MAC Studio Fix powder. I love the coverage and how natural it is and whenever I am out and about, this is in my bag and knows that it is time to travel. Recently, I became a fan of
  as I have her baked products that include bronzer and eye shadow. As we transitioned from winter to spring and on to summer (and because I am never without my lip gloss or balm), I wanted to find a nice Lip Strip that would ensure that my lips would stay soft! This soft sugar scrub comes in a tiny cute container and can be massaged on the lip for about one minute. I love that there is a great peppermint taste if you happen to taste it by accident and upon first use, this $15 product is absolutely worth having! Available exclusively on Sephora.com - this is a must have no matter where you go. I use it about once a week after I have used my mask. It's a nice quick spa with great results.
