Happiness is... a long and fun vacation

Bonjour!  Happy Hump Day everyone!  Excuse me for being so quiet lately.  I've been traveling for the past two weeks and will continue to do so for four more weeks.  I'm writing from Paris right now!  Since I will be moving around quite  bit I decided to take a break from my blog until I get back to the US and get settled in my next nest in Tampa, Florida. There's a lot going on in my life right now!  I'll share my adventures with you as soon as I get back.  Until then, stay happy my sugar plums!

Love,

Isabel xox

Happiness is. . . a TropiCoral Makeup Kit






Hello my sugar plums!  I've been very quiet this past week.  The reason being is that I've been busy planning my next vacation.  The destination?  A week long stop in beautiful Puerto Rico followed by a month long backpacking trip through France, Spain and Portugal.  I'm so excited I might burst!  Since I'm in such a good mood and oh so looking forward to spending some time in the sun (cause it's still cold and gloomy here in Rochester) I decided to share with you my first impressions of this cute lip and cheek kit from Benefit that I bought recently at Sephora.  It comes with a lip/cheek stain (ChaChaTint), a highlighter (HighBeam), a blush (Coralista) and a lipgloss (Coralista) - all in cheerful Spring-y peachy/coral hues.  It could be your perfect travel companion for an upcoming trip during the Spring/Summer months; seasons when our skin is a little tanned and we don't need much makeup to enhance our natural beauty.

If you like this kit you can get it at Sephora for $28.  Benefit has two other kits available:  Feelin' Dandy (light pink hues) and Sugarlicious (nude tones).  Pick your favorite!  What do you guys think about this kit?  Any upcoming trips to a tropical destination?


Besos,  Isabel xox
