less is MORE...

... WHEN IT COMES TO SKINCARE PRODUCTS!
Smearing on product after product might make you think you're doing the best for your skin, but it isn't worth the effort—or the money. Actually, the more treatments you use, the more likely you're to develop an allergy or irritation - plus the products won't work as well. 
A balanced approach is a better option—so focus on a couple products with the ingredients your skin needs most. 
For most of us, that's a lightweight antioxidant serum followed by an SPF-infused moisturiser in the morning - and a retinoid followed by a moisturiser (or a moisturiser with retinol) at night.

nifty + clever IDEA #2

ANOTHER CUTE IDEA FOR SOMETHING YOU MAY HAVE 
KICKING AROUND THE HOUSE...
Create a chic shrug by taking a pair of tights or stockings and cutting off the feet {or use a pair of footless tights to save a step}. Place arms where legs would normally go and—voila!—you’ve created a sleek spring alternative to a shawl or cardigan. Take it a step further by cutting slashes into the fabric, à la Monique Lhuillier’s ballerina-inspired Fall '09 collection {pictured above}.

copy her MAKE-UP: KATIE HOLMES

I'M A KINDA A NEW FAN OF KATIE'S...
and I'm fast becoming a fan of her style! 
{+ I'm loving her super-sheer eye make-up she's got going on here}
 Rather than caking heavy makeup on the lid, she's gently swept a dove gray formula outwards from the outer corner of the eye. You can achieve this look yourself by blending out your eyeshadow with a damp make-up sponge, which = gorgeous!
