Happy Monday, friends! I can't believe the weekend is already gone, but it's time once again to tackle the week. Here are the products I'll be using to brighten up.

Charlotte Tilbury x Norman Parkinson Limited Edition Collection, $22 - $270
You know that moment when you see a product and know instantly you need to have it? That's how I felt when I first laid eyes on Charlotte Tilbury's newest collection. Every item is absolutely stunning and has such a luxurious, collectible feel. That nude lipstick is calling my name! I was fortunate enough to meet Charlotte Tilbury at Bergdorf Goodman last Thursday and she's even more lovely in person. I recommend purchasing this collection soon as it's extremely limited

6 Bloggers 1 Lipstick: Becca Cosmetics in Hotel California

"Will it work on my complexion?" is a question I hear often in the beauty field. Not all shades are created with all skin tones in mind, but it's does happen. It's refreshing to test a product and learn that anyone can wear it. This is what Danielle of The Style & Beauty Doctor is out to share with her #6Bloggers1Lipstick collaborations. She has a group of bloggers with different complexions test the same product and share the results. In this round, 6 of us tested Becca Cosmetics lipgloss in Hotel California. It's a rich raspberry red with luscious shine. I don't wear reds too often, but I love wearing this one.
