Mischo Beauty: Baborganic
I've tested the Wake Up Shower Gel, Revitalizing Body Lotion and Pure Mattifying Cream. The shower gel, as appropriately named, is invigorating- or better yet energizing! It's perfect for a morning shower. And, the body lotion is hydrating - I like that it's quickly absorbed into the skin. The Pure Mattifying Cream is recommended for oily skin types- yes, oily skin needs moisture too! This removes the shine, while providing the hydration the skin needs. To view the entire collection, please visit www.babor.com.

Mischo Beauty: Hana Styling Iron Cleaner
Well, I'm excited to tell you about the Hana Styling Iron Cleaner. It's a spray cleaner for gold, ceramic, titanium and tourmaline styling tools. I've tested it on both my Hana Professional 1" Ceramic Flat Iron and my Hana Mini Flat Iron with no issues. Neither tool had the caked on product build-up, but I was able to see how easy the cleaner dissolved the residue that was present. For tougher build-up, it's recommended that the cleaner sit on the styling tool for up to 10 minutes for best results.
Ok, so tell me- what's your salon pet peeve?

Mischo Beauty Pick: Dove Body Wash with NutriumMoisture
I've tried all three formulas, and I'm happy to report that each left my skin soft and smooth. Although I loved the consistency of the Deep Moisture and Sensitive Skin formulas (both are rich and creamy), my favorite was the Gentle Exfoliating formula. It is very gentle- no worries about it's exfoliating beads scratching your skin! And if you've been following my blog, then you know I'm an exfoliant addict -I love the benefits of exfoliation!
I'd love to know your thoughts- have you tried any of the formulas?

Mischo Beauty Loves the CHANEL DESTINATION N°5 - The Film
Many of you probably already know that Audrey Tautou is the lead in the new Coco Chanel movie. Well she's also been named the new spokesmodel for Chanel No. 5, and is the star of the short film Destination No. 5. The short film is romantic and sexy, and I love the cinematography- especially the lighting. Enjoy.

Mischo Beauty: The Body Shop White Musk White Hot Summer Fragrance
The fragrance is formulated with top notes of pink pepper, bergamot and violet leaf, which for me, was a little strong for the day- but works for night. I loved that the fragrance was long lasting- in both the body lotion and eau de toilette. The collection also includes a body mist and is available for a limited time only.

Mischo Beauty: Sally Hansen's High Definition Nail Color & Sweepstakes!
What makes this collection different is the fact that it's formulated with real liquid crystals which translates the clarity of High Definition. This formula is also suppose to protect the nails and prevent chipping, breaking and cracking. After testing out Pixel, I was surprised to learn that the formula was thin, resulting in three coats to achieve the bottle color.
You all should know that in celebration of this launch, Sally Hansen is hosting a sweepstakes on their website, www.sallyhansen.com from July 8, 2009 - September 15, 2009. The prizes include a 32inch HD TV, iPod Nanos and Sally Hansen gift bags.
I'd love to know your thoughts on this collection. Have you tried it?

Mischo Beauty Review: L'Oréal Paris' Infallible Never Fail Plumping Lipgloss
You see, my lips are full to begin with (I love them!), so maybe I'm not the best candidate for this particular lip gloss. And, after testing it out, I really didn't notice a difference. I will say that the curved brush applicator makes for a very smooth application, and the price point works with all budgets.
What are your thoughts on this lip gloss?

Mischo Beauty: Stella Eau de Parfum Roll-On
I couldn't resist the Stella Eau de Parfum Roll-On. The scent took my breath away- excuse me, but not only mine, but my friend fell in love with it too! The fragrance's top notes are rose, peony flower, mandarin, rose absolute and amber. I think it's the perfect blend of sweet and sexy- and yes, we both had to have it!
So tell me, what fragrance are you in love with at the moment?

Mischo Beauty Loves Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss Reflect
It's described as an "opalescent beige shimmer", so it's shimmery/sparkly, and the color for me is the perfect nude- I love it! It's non-sticky and one of the few lip glosses I can wear without having to wear lipstick as a base (many lip glosses are drying!).
Anyway, what's your all-time favorite lip gloss?
