Tassi Now Available on Open Sky

I love my Tassi hair band (read previous Tassi Review). This simple little terry cloth band is so useful for keeping hair out of your face without ruining your hairstyle, and I also use it in the shower when I want a quick clean up without washing my hair.

I now have the Tassi available for sale in my Open Sky shop! A wide variety of colors are available and it is only $14.95. Check it out!

Prescriptives Bronzer Brush

Prescriptives Bronzer Brushwon the 2009 Allure Editors Choice Award for the Best Powder/Bronzer Brush.

I haven’t tried this specific brush, but I can tell you that I love my MAC brush that is quite similar and I have seen the Prescriptives one get generally rave reviews at product review forums or sites. My brush is wearing out, so this might be one I try as a replacement!

Fashion Friday: Going to the Ballgame!

Today’s Fashion Friday post is in honor of the opening week of baseball!

Going to a ballgame doesn’t mean you can’t have some fashion fun. Here are some ways to look great, yet relaxed at the same time:

Wear casual updo. For ideas, check out this list at Total Beauty with seventeen of them that you can do in ten minutes or less.

Wear flats, but not tennis shoes. Ballet flats, flat chunky heel sandals, or dressier flip flops will keep your feet comfy without looking frumpy.

Keep makeup light and girly. You don’t want to be sweating your makeup off. Wear a light tinted moisturizer, waterproof mascara, and a light gloss for a fresh look.

Dress like a fashionable fan. Wear cute clothing or accessories with team colors instead of a full wardrobe of fan gear. Or opt for a crisp white shirt with only one piece of fanwear such as a logo tank top, or a ballcap.

Want to really dress the part of a fan? Look for a team theme handbag, such as this one for the Chicago Cubs. It looks a bit dorky online, but I saw a woman with it at the park who looked fabulous and repeatedly got compliments on the bag.

Must of all be comfortable and enjoy yourself. Ballgames are not for high style, they are for casual and relaxed fun.

M. Asam Classic Beautiful Hand and Nail Set

The M. Asam Classic Beautiful Hand and Nail set has everything that you need to do your own perfect manicure. It includes the following:

Hand Scrub –This scrub contians sugar crystals soaked in grape seed oil. I loved this item and the way it gave a light exfoliation and conditioned at the same time.
OPC Hand Cream – With vitamin C and green tea, this cream is a nice general hand cream.
Intensive Nail Serum – Contains panthenol, biotin and silica to moisturize nails and brittle, dry cuticles. The serum does a nice job at conditioning and leaves a good shine.
Cuticle Care Pen – I love this cuticle pen! The formula contains natural oils such as soya, jojoba and avocado oils that are applied to the cuticles with the soft tip of the care pen. The pen includes replacement tips.
Polishing Nail File – This is another great product! The file has a green side for buffing and a white side for shining—and boy does it bring out the shine! buff your nails with this and you might be quite happy leaving your nails bare!
Nail File – This 2-sided file features a rough green side for shortening and trimming your nails and a softer white side for finishing. It comes in its own pouch.
Cosmetic bag – Included is a satin bag embellished with a white faux leather bow and the M. Asam logo in black at the zipper top.
.10 oz. Face Mask sample packet.
.10 oz. Day and Night Cream sample packet.

The M. Asam Hand and Nail kit is featured in episode 7 of HSN’s online series Faces of Beautiful You. This is the best all around nail kit that I have tried. So, if you want a good manicure kit, or if you are looking for a great gift, check it out!
