Beauty to Perfekt-tion with @PerfektBeauty
I’m always on the hunt for the next best thing when it comes to barely-there cosmetics. I’m all for the “fresh-faced” beauty trend this season, but with less than perfect skin, its hard to achieve a natural, clean look without piling on the products. Especially during the hot summer months, cake-y, oil-based foundations and concealers are the last thing I want to put on my face (only to sweat it all off by noon). So, during a fluke visit to Henri Bendel with my sister last week, I was introduced to the Per-fekt Beauty line of lightweight cosmetics-my new summer cosmetic OBSESSION.
Per-fekt Cosmetics is a lightweight, sweat-proof, and summer friendly line of cosmetics created with the working woman in mind. In today’s fast-paced world, its hard to get the coverage you need in the short amount of getting-ready time we have in the morning. With face, body, lip, cheek, and eye products, Per-fekt Beauty has all the bases covered!
Skin Perfection Gel
Eye Perfection Gel
Lip Perfection Gel
The Skin Perfection Gel is the perfect multi-tasker, instantly enhancing the appearance of the skin, offering an easy alternative to traditional foundation, primer, color corrector and powder.
The Cheek Perfection Gel is a cheek-stain/creme that comes in two varieties–blush and bronzer. Try mixing both colors for a more subtle look.
The Body Perfection Gel — seriously the most amazing self-tanner I’ve ever seen! “Liquid Pantyhose”, this product evens and tones skin while covering veins and blemishes AND providing an all over healthy summer glow.
The Perfect Eye Collection consists of anti-aging under-eye concealer, brow perfecter, and mascara. Brighten, tame, and enhance your eyes.
The Lip Perfection Gel is a lightweight, silky smooth color gel that “per-fekts” and enhances the appearance of the lips offering a modern alternative to traditional lip stick, lip gloss and lip treatment. This multi-tasking color infused lip perfector glides on effortlessly to instantly improve the appearance of dry lips, chapped lips, lip lines, and thin lips, while offering perfect color and perfect application everytime.
Fresh-Faced to Perfekt-tion!
The Lovely Anne, Per-fekt Counter Manager at Henri Bendel, NYC
Per-fekt Beauty is honestly one of my favorite cosmetics lines for the summer. Even after a long day in the city, my makeup still looked as flawless as it did in the morning! With a mousse-like consistency, the Face Perfection Gel left my skin as soft as ever, and I was impressed with the matte application (goodbye blotting paper!). The Body Perfection Gel was also pretty impressive. It left a sun kissed glow and the best part about it all – it doesn’t wipe off! Once it’s on, it’s on for good, or until you wash it off. No more makeup marks on your freshly laundered clothing. No complaints here! 🙂
So if you’re looking to switch up your makeup routine, or, like me, want a smooth, lightweight look for the summer, try Per-fekt Beauty! Order online or visit Anne at the Henri Bendel Counter, 712 5th Avenue, NYC. It’ll soon become a favorite of yours too!

Get that New New @lushcosmetics
I have always loved LUSH and walked by 10000 times in Toronto on Queen Street and then in New York on 14th Street. This place is fantastic and also Canadian! I have received their multi-tier soaps and sizzling bath bombs as Christmas presents but I have yet to be an avid user… That is until now!
Maybe this one little tin will replace everything in my bathroom…
My girl Fatema keeps her top hair secrets ‘under wraps’ but I have no doubt in my mind when she told me about the NEW shampoo that makes your hair grow beautifully.
STIMULATING AND REVIVING MINTY SHAMPOO BAR
There’s nothing new about our stimulating cinnamon and clove shampoo bar. But, it is incredibly effective at giving you thicker, shinier hair and invigorating your scalp. When stress or life goes to your head, our shampoo will encourage hair growth and motivated tired scalps with spice and mint oils. It’s intense, (in the best possible way), but works wonders on irritated scalps or hair that’s thinning. Rosemary and nettle herbs rejuvenate, and make your hair shiny and soft as a feather. All of this, in one little beautifully fragranced spice bar; are you ready for a NEW shampoo?- Bar on top: Customer and staff favorite, NEW is perfectly suited to all hair types, not just those who are feeling follicly challenged.
- A force to be reckoned with: Herbs and spice, and everything minty and nice for shiny, healthy hair and scalps.
- Spice up your life: We use cinnamon leaf oil to stimulate your follicles and encourage healthy hair growth.
I totally can’t wait to try this!!

Fran Wilson’s MOODMatcher Lipstick
This weekend, I was definitely in the mood for a lil something. A huge Duane Reade opened on 7th Ave by my house and it has a ton of makeup. Drugstore brand makeup is awesome because it give you a chance to have fun, try new products and experiment with colors without breaking the bank.
So I have never heard of Fran Wilson before but I did notice these really different lipgloss tubes. They were sold out last time I checked and they just replenished. It just might be one of those ‘best kept secrets’ no one ever told you about. Oh how I love discovering dope stuff.
I got the MOODMatcher in yellow and I just love it. There is no scent/taste and it feels like lip balm and wears like a lip stain. No transfer, doesn’t kiss off and subtle enough to look nature. I am a fan. There are 6 shades and the intensity of the ‘pink’ it turns into depends on your body chemistry. Pretty cool right?
From my research, I found out this MOODMatcher came out 20 years ago and is still one of the best seller. I have tried all those lip markers, stains by tarte and every other brand out there.. This is the truth! I really love it :):)
It seems so 90’s I know, to go along with your mood ring and your leg warmers. For your information, I am wearing both today 🙂 Now I got my MOODMatcher lipstick to match. I’m feeling groovy! For my Canadian friends, I am coming home in 2 weeks so if you want me to get one for you, just ask!
I looked high and low all over the internet to find some more info about this brand. So far, I know that it is a private company, over 30 years old based in NYC and has about 7 employees. Here is the best swatch I found online!
My conclusion is, they were so hot in the 90’s and those people who knew about MOODmatchers are not beauty blogging. The beauty bloggers who are writing, will focus on what PR companies send them – they obviously missed these badboys cuz they slid right under their radar.
Good thing I am the Tom Cruise of Beauty Mission Impossible.
You can get them at drugstores on online from $1-$3. Wow wee!

Fresh Strawberry Face Mask
For those that have oily skin, this face mask is the perfect way to pamper yourself without spending loads of money on expensive in-store products. Strawberries are rich in alpha-hydroxy acid, which helps clear acne and reduce oil. Strawberries also reduce puffiness and circles beneath the eyes. Not only is this mask good for your skin but it smells amazing. I mean… who doesn’t love the smell of fresh strawberries?
You’ll need:1 tbsp. olive oil2 tbsp. all natural honey1 lemonFirst, in a bowl mash the strawberries with a fork until the mixture is smooth. Then add the olive oil. The olive oil will help moisturize your skin without clogging your pores. Next add the honey. The honey will reduce inflammation and kills bacteria. Now depending on how oily your skin gets, add a few drops of lemon juice to the mixture. The more oily your skin is, the more drops you add. Lemon juice is like a natural astringent cleaning your skin. Be careful not to add too much or it’ll strip your skin of too much moisture. Apply the mask to a clean, dry skin in an even layer on your face and neck. Be sure to be careful around the eye area. Leave the mask on for 5 minutes then rinse with warm water.Try it out and see how you like it and keep an eye out for more information on California Strawberries.

Primetime Baby!
Ladiessssss and gents… I cannot stress to you enough how important I think it is to prime before you apply make up! I’ve had many experiences with sliding make up, oily skin popping up, make up completely disappearing from my face, everything and anything you can name. Personally, I have normal to oily skin. It’s pretty sensitive too. In the summer i’d get the shiny face from the heat and sun and in the winter I get oily because the weather can be so dry my skin tries to keep moist. Bottom line… primer is a must no matter what.
It works really well and is super affordable! Priming your skin can also smooth over your pores creating a silky smooth surface for a better application. No one wants to spend all their time putting on make up just to see it less than perfect at the end of the day.*HeyDoYou is for the cute, clever and connected*
