Urban Decay-It's Electric!
What better way to bounce into Spring than with Urban Decay's new Electric eye shadow palette?! They have create an all new color-packed palette (say that three times fast!) just in time for the upcoming warm weather! Urban Decay describes it as:
"Chaos-inducing color—in ten VELVETY shades. Inspired by Chaos (a brilliant matte blue from The Vice Palette), we created the ultimate fix for color addicts—packed with ten of the brightest, most amazing shades you’ve ever laid eyes on, plus a double-ended brush. In addition to Chaos (yes, it’s back!), this palette marks the return of Revolt (a silver standout from our Anarchy Face Case). All the other shades are NEW!
From ultra-smooth mattes to highly dimensional shimmers, each VELVETY shade delivers insane color payout. Why do a Pressed Pigment Palette? Using pressed pigments was the only way we could create heavily saturated brights with the intense pigment load we craved. Traditional eyeshadow formulas just wouldn’t cut it. To achieve shades like these, we had to develop an entirely new formula!
We carefully crafted the formula on every shade to make sure each one would apply with a soft and creamy texture and deliver serious color payout. Each shade features our Pigment Infusion System™, the proprietary blend of ingredients that gives each shade its velvety texture, rich color, serious staying power and blendability.
The case is as cool as the shades inside. Emblazoned with “ELECTRIC,” this slim, sleek palette features a vivid, dimensional, multilayered smoke-screen print reminiscent of the shades inside. And the mirror is huge!
Electric Pressed Pigment Palette also includes a cruelty-free, double-ended pressed pigment brush (an all-black brush with bright purple synthetic brush fibers). On one end: a compact precision brush that’s perfect for applying color with amazing control. On the other end: a small pigment brush."

How Do You Inspire Change?
Dramatically Moisturized Skin with Clinique
Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion is a must have to keep your skin supple this season. The 4.2 oz banana cream colored pump fits conveniently in your purse or weekend get-away bag. The original formula made its debut in 1971 and has remained the same with improvements along the way. If your face is prone to dryness, try Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion to help strengthen the skin's moisture barrier. When applied daily the rich lotion leaves skin felling soft and springy with a glow. For those with oily or combination skin, the gel formula will give you the same results but has been modified specifically for your skin type; stay dramatically moisturized!
Bronze Away Winter Skin
Spring is almost here! We all want to have a flawless, shimmery, and sun-kissed skin tone every season, not just during the summer. Here are a couple of the top beauty bronzer picks we love!
The Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons has a satin finish that doesn't settle into fine lines or creases. With the four bronzer palettes, you can chose your glow according to seasons or blend all the sections together for a customized bronzer.
The Tarte Matte Mineral Powder is a shimmer free eco-friendly bronzer with concealing powers that can help even out skin tones.
The Dior Bronze Matte Sunshine SPF 20 in Healthy Matte includes sebonormine and meadowsweet extract to help adsorb excess oils while the SPF protects the skin from UV rays.
Fresh Fragrances
Looking for a fresh Spring fragrance? The Versace Bright Crystal Fragrance is an excellent choice for women. It is one of Versace's vibrant and flowery scents that adds nice a touch for day and night activities. The fragrance offers a soft, yet luminous scent that could be worn in your work environment and at night while your out with friends.
