Mischo's Mistletoe Beauty Guide



As much as I love sharing beauty education with you all (yes, that's what this blog is all about!), it's time to have some fun. It's my favorite time of the year, which means it's time for the second annual "Mischo's Mistletoe Beauty Guide". Like last year, this guide is all about achieving that "kiss me under the mistletoe" look with gorgeous hair, skin, nails and makeup. So let's begin.



With all the hustle and bustle associated with the holiday season, you owe yourself the gift of rest and relaxation. We mentioned the Guerlain Spa at The Waldorf-Astoria earlier this year and felt it only appropriate to include it in this guide. The spa menu includes body treatments, facials, manicures & pedicures, massages and makeup. And, the Sublime Deluxe treatment, well it has to be heaven on earth! You've added a visit here to your with list, right?



Healthy skin is beautiful skin. So if you're investing in facial treatments or if you're starting a skincare regimen, then we feel that you should invest in our favorite beauty tool, the Clarisonic Skincare Brush. The most important step in a skincare regimen is cleansing because it removes makeup, dirt, oil, product build-up and dead skin cells. Our favorite beauty tip is encouraging readers to cleanse both morning and night, and Clarisonic helps to ensure a deep, thorough and gentle cleansing.



We included La Mer in last year's guide because we love it so much! It is luxury skincare at its best. Consider incorporating the Miraculous Beginnings Collection, exclusively available at Saks Fifth Avenue, into your current skincare regimen.



Remember YSL Beauty's release of their fall collection of nail colors earlier this year? Well, we're STILL in love with them and feel the shades are perfect for the holiday season.



The Shu Uemura Art of Hair collection of products originally knocked us off of our feet and blew us away. We still love them because they're continually innovating. Not only is there a collection of products for every hair type, but there are also in-salon "hair beauty ceremonies" which are customized to meet your hair's specific needs.



So this guide is really about achieving the most kissable lips, right! And because that's the case, the Tom Ford Private Blend Lip Color Collection speaks for itself. All we have to say is, we'll take one of each shade! Kissable lips are worth it, right?!

Our beauty picks could go on forever and ever, but what we really want for the holidays - well, besides all the kisses we can get while under the mistletoe - are love, peace and happiness!

So, which of the above are you adding to your wish lists!

Mischo Beauty Loves YSL Beauty's Rock & Baroque Couture Manicures







Thanks to a recent tweet on Twitter from Vogue.fr (VogueParisLive), I fell in love with their latest beauty obsession- the amazing manicures above which were created by YSL Beauty's 2010 fall collection of nail colors. When I saw the photos, my first thought was "Beauty Is Art"! Wouldn't you agree?

Mischo Beauty Loves YSL Beauty's "#142 Ultra Orange" Nail Polish



While I can't say that YSL Beauty's La Laque #142 Ultra Orange is the "color of the summer", I will tell you all that I am in love with it! So much so, that it was my nail color of choice at my Dove sponsored spa dayI tweeted about a few weeks ago (more on that later today!). The color is creamy and bright, and reminds me of a fruity popsicle. It's definitely a must-have shade for the summer!

What's on your nails this week?

Mischo Beauty Loves Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss Reflect & YSL La Laque Nail Lacquer



Last week one of my followers on Twitter asked me what my favorite hair products were and why. Well I love answering any/all beauty related questions- you all know it's my passion, so don't ever hesitate to send them! Anyway, I was going through my makeup bag this morning and wanted to share with you two of my favorite products- at the moment- that I first blogged about last year.

The first is Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss Reflect Linen Beige #317, which I posted here and here. The second is YSL La Laque Nail Lacquer Tulipe Noire #34, which is down to the last drop! I'd love to know what products you're loving at the moment- for hair, skin or nails!

Mischo Beauty Pick: PARISIENNE By Yves Saint Laurent Beauty



I welcomed the opportunity to try Yves Saint Laurent Beauty's newest fragrance, Parisienne, and I will tell you that I was not disappointed. It's described as "a grand floral with a woody structure, luminous even in its mystery". The fragrance's top notes are Blackberry, Damask Rose and Sandalwood.

Now I'm not an expert when it comes to fragrances, but I could barely smell the Sandalwood which contributes to the "woody structure" of the fragrance and I think that's why I liked it so much. I'm more partial to citrus/floral scents, and I could smell the richness of the Blackberry and Damask Rose immediately after testing it out. It's more of a "day" scent for me and it's definitely a keeper! Have you tried it?
