In my mind makeup and fashion are inspirable. Makeup is fashion for the face. Fashion is makeup for the body. The makeup on the runway models can make or break a collection from a designer. Makeup and fashion share an intimate relationship that every successful designer understands and respects. That’s why it’s no surprise when you hear top designers coming out with beauty lines. Names like Armani, Dior, Chanel all have respected beauty lines. So I was really excited to try Ungaro’s new makeup line. The

U by Ungaro Color Collection ($10- $20, avon.com) brings the effortless, chic sensibility Ungaro is known for to makeup products for everyone.

U by Ungaro Color Collection stands apart from the rest in the pack with its luxurious formulas and limited edition Ungaro branded packaging. At first glance you know that you are getting something truly special but its not till after you try the silky shadows and creamy lipsticks that you can really appreciate the quality. The collection includes face shimmer powders, eye shadow singles and lipsticks. Shades include “Glam”, “Runway Pink” and “Champagne”.

So if you like your makeup to be as beautiful as your clothes then this is a must have collection. Shades and formulas that are universally flattering make U by Ungaro Color Collection a real winner from the runway to the grocery store. A great find.

U by Ungaro is available exclusively through Avon Representatives. To locate an Avon Representative call 1-800-FOR-AVON or visit avon.com.

The extra in Reversalist is Activnol Technology. Avon discovered through exhaustive research, testing and review how to activate a key repair molecule called Activin. This molecule helps repair micro-injuries to the skin, which wrinkles form as a result of. Avon used this discovery to design ANEW’s Activinol Technology. The technology helps reactivate skin’s repair process to recreate fresh skin and helps dramatically reverse visible wrinkles. Leaving you with amazingly soft, fresh and supple skin.

After using Reversalist for a week I noticed that my fine lines were less visible. I was most impressed with how much softer my skin felt. Another extra is the cream is really affordable. Proving that you can get a really effective cream for a reasonable price. I guess I can use the extra money I save buying Reversalist to get some extra cheese on my next pizza.

So you can imagine that I was relieved when I fell madly in love with the scent that smells like a warm floral bouquet. The scent aims to convey the free spirit of today’s sexy, modern girl – playful, cool, and flirtatious. The scent is long lasting and can be worn day-and-night. Its opens with pink peppercorn, pear, and ruby red grapefruit. Blooming midnotes of rose, fuchsia peony, and geranium make a feminine statement. Layers of vanilla, warm tonka bean, and creamy musk create a wonderful dry down.

This is the type of fragrance that will make you feel fun and free. Its not to strong but it lets you know its there. It will be noticed in all the right ways. And the bottle even after the fragrance is long gone will be displayed on my dresser.

Keeping that in mind – let me introduce you to one of the leading natural products purveyors for over 36 years, Desert Essence Organics. They have recently introduced a complete fragrance free line that includes shampoo, conditioner, body wash and body lotion ($8.99, Whole Foods Market and Health Food Stores Nationwide). Desert Essence Organics PURE Fragrance Free shampoo and conditioner provides moisture, minerals and vitamins that strengthen, moisturize and revitalize dry hair. While the PURE body wash and lotion are enriched with natural botanical ingredients that purify and nourish the skin while leaving it feeling soft and silky.

And while I am sure the Earth is very happy that your hair and skin feel moisturized and renewed, it will be really happy about the fact this line is made from the best organic natural products its soil has to offer. Like organic green tea, jojoba oil and sunflower. The Earth will also enjoy the fact that the products are biodegradable, cruelty free and wheat/gluten free.

So on this Earth Day give the Earth something special. Start renewing, reusing and recycling. Stop driving to places you can walk or carpool to. And start buying organic products that don’t add harmful chemicals to the planet. I know you wanted to get the Earth a flat screen TV for its big day. But the planet already has plenty of those.

So it’s not hard to figure out why I fell head over heels with Color Stick Cream Eyeshadow by Sugar Cosmetics ($14, sephora.com).

All sweet enough to eat!
