Something Lovely To Look At

Still Life With Meadow Flowers and Roses
1886 Vincent van Gogh

The beauty of this painting really caught my eye. It has been decided just this year that this was indeed painted by Vincent van Gogh.

June 4 Win Redken Smooth Lock Stay Sleek
Keeping hair frizz-free for a day is a feat, but this cream delivers smoothness through three shampoos, thanks to amino acids and proteins that help seal the cuticle.

I could use some help with my frizz so I would like to win this Redken product.

June 5 Score Express Runway Makeup Kit
With a gold-flecked bronzer, tawny lip gloss, brown eyeliner, and pink, bronze, and ivory eye shadows, this palette transforms you into a beach goddess.

If I win this Makeup Kit I will be very happy!


June 6 Win Lift Lab Purify & Clarify Cleanser and Mask
This creamy product's star ingredient, Aqualumine (from an enzyme in red caviar), dissolves dead skin cells. Leave it on for three minutes for a more intense exfoliation.

I am very interested in this Cleanser/Mask I hope I am able to snag one.


June 7 Score Priti NYC Polish in Flame of the Forest
Free of toluene, DBP, and formaldehyde, this opaque hot melon polish dazzles on toes.

This Hot Melon Polish looks perfect for summer! I want it!

Brahmin Glossy Medium Arno Tote Review

Brahmin Glossy Medium Arno Tote in Black

Brahmin Glossy Medium Arno Tote in Black


I received a lovely Brahmin Tote as a member of the Vogue Influencer Network today!

This is one of the best designed totes I have ever seen it is a crossover between a tote and a handbag. The size (9.5 H X 13 W X 5 D) is perfect to use as your purse with enough room so that you can also carry those extra items you might need. The tote has four pockets on the inside along with a keyclip and penloops and one slide in pocket on the outside . I really like the quality zipper on top because it keeps my items private and secure when needed. I can see and feel the quality of this bag and I am sure every Brahmin product has this same quality.

With this tote you have two great colors to choose from Black which is what I received or a wonderful Pecan.
I feel this tote can be used year round the style is that perfect. If you can only purchase one Brahmin item the Glossy Medium Arno Tote would be a perfect choice.
