I have just been amazed by the beauty of the handcrafted artistry of Sogni Di Cristallo Murano glass. Watching the antique glass-making techniques of the Sogni Di Cristallo Glassmakers is quite a sight to see! The time, care and precision put into each intricate piece of blown glass makes owning these remarkable items a very special experience. It's absolutely mesmerizing watching the Glassmakers at work...such a calming, relaxing experience. Watch the amazing process!

The unique colors, details and elements of nature featured in Sogni Di Cristallo Murano glass are certainly dream-like. Sogni Di Cristallo pieces are a rare exquisite touch that add a special ambiance to the decor within one's home.

Look at the amazing focal point the Sogni Di Cristallo Fiordaliso Chandelier creates in this room. The gorgeous pink tones pull the whole unique look together. It's wonderful Sogni Di Cristallo makes it so easy to conveniently tailor a room to your preferences, by choosing the specific number of lights and color based on the type of look you're going for. Their pieces range from classic to trendy so there is plenty of leeway for finding sophisticated Murano glass lighting to compliment your decor.  

Here is the Sogni Di Cristallo Fiordaliso Chandelier with a lesser number of lights and in a different color. How fabulous the same chandelier can look so different and create such variety with a few minor changes!

The Sogni Di Cristallo Fellini Chandelier looks absolutely stunning among this chic decor. Sogni Di Cristallo chandeliers truly create a magnificent centerpiece in a room. The golden color of this particular frame nicely accentuates the wood portion of the ceiling. The texture of the Murano glass balances the textures of the brick wall, decorative plants and furnishings.

The Sogni Di Cristallo Fellini Chandelier also looks impeccable with a chrome frame. The handcrafted Venetian glass sparkles brilliantly!

The elegant flair of the Sogni Di Cristallo Mastroianni Chandelier is reminiscent of a gorgeous spiraling staircase. The intricate inner details of gold and amber make it even more amazing!

The ​icy cool look of the Sogni Di Cristallo Crono Chandelier has a wintry feel. The handcrafted artistry creates a distinctive texture similar to icicles.

The natural elements in Sogni Di Cristallo Murano glass and the Vintage Collection are awe-inspiring. The lighting pieces create a mood of relaxation, wonderment and sophistication.

I’ve always loved Garnier Fructis and now I’m even more happy to be using their hair care products. Garnier’s latest shampoo and conditioner set has nourishing marula oil to help my hair become stronger and healthier. I’ve enjoyed using the Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine system with argan oil for managing my hair, so I was quite excited to try this new Sleek & Shine version with marula oil.

Firstly, the scent is great! To me it smells kind of like candy, sugar cookies, a hint of gingerbread and fresh cucumber. It’s such a pleasant experience to relax in the shower with Garnier Fructis’ marula oil shampoo and conditioner set, and try to figure out what yummy scents they smell like!

When I lather and condition my hair in the shower with Garnier’s marula oil shampoo and conditioner, I can feel the light yet nourishing qualities of the set. I’ve always enjoyed their Sleek & Shine products with argan oil, but I can feel the difference the marula oil makes, in terms of lightness and movement.

It’s wonderful because it does a fabulous job of nourishing and moisturizing my hair, but it leaves it feeling so lightweight and full of movement! It’s still shiny, in control and smoothed down nicely, like when I used the Garnier Fructis products with argan oil; but there’s an additional bounciness, wonderful movement and lightness to my hair texture. It also feels less thick, as though I’m able to take better control over it. It feels stronger too, easier to detangle, less hair in my brush and on the floor. It’s natural for all hair to “shed” when you’re detangling it, brushing it. However, Garnier Fructis with marula oil really does seem to give it that extra bit of strength to reduce shedding....less knots, easier to comb and brush through.

The benefits of the marula oil in this wonderful Sleek & Shine shampoo and conditioner set by Garnier Fructis are really quite evident. Not only do the products smell delicious, they truly do what they purport...stronger, smoother, healthier hair with a lightweight feel. 

I still enjoy using my Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine Leave-in Conditioning Cream with argan oil. It works great with Garnier’s marula oil shampoo and conditioner! All of the Sleek & Shine products are fantastic. It’s just nice to have options. If I’d like a lighter feel, I can go with the marula oil products. They still do a wonderful job smoothing my hair and providing moisture. It’s just a different experience. I think it’s best to give the whole range of products a chance and use what you see fit for whatever your current hair needs are. Sometimes you just need that extra super duper moisture and sometimes you just want to take it light!

If you want a great hair care product regimen from a hair care line with an extensive range of products for pretty much every hair type, Garnier Fructis is the way to go! Plus the scent experience is amazing. Fresh, deliciously scented products to make your hair cleansing, conditioning and styling experiences even better!

My make-up and skin care routine has been taken to an even more awesome level, thanks to Estée Lauder. I’ve been using Estée Lauder Perfectionist Foundation. It’s amazing because it has skin care serum infused right into it! It has SPF in it too, which is also great for skin care protection. However, the main highlight of this foundation is how it combines make-up and skin care repair in one.

I’ve been enjoying Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair serum as a part of my Estée Lauder nighttime routine, so it’s so cool I can enjoy the pampering effects of Estée Lauder skin care serum in my foundation during the day. It’s like having a skin care treatment round the clock, just wonderful...

Estée Lauder Perfectionist Foundation leaves my skin looking very natural because it is such a perfect match for my skin tone. Estée Lauder does a great job providing an extensive range of natural-looking shades so it’s easy to find a perfect match for your skin.

When I apply just a tad bit of Estée Lauder Perfectionist, I barely look like I’m wearing make-up. It just looks like my skin has a healthy, radiant glow. If I want to amp it up, I just apply a bit more, build up the foundation, and I can get more glam! I’ve been enjoying applying Perfectionist with a foundation brush. It gives me great control. I just pump a small amount, or more if desired, onto the foundation brush and smooth easily onto my skin. I can use the foundation brush as a great blending tool, to either reduce the amount of foundation in certain areas of my face for a more natural look, or to blend in more for a more “made-up” look.

It’s been so wonderful to tie in all of the amazing skin care benefits of Estée Lauder’s products, into every aspect of my daily and nightly skin care/make-up routines. Check out my other blog post, where I share how I’ve been pampering my skin at night with a fabulous array of Estée Lauder’s nighttime repair products. I’ve recently tied in another fantastic skin care product by Estée Lauder that works amazingly with my Perfectionist Foundation.

Estée Lauder Advanced Night Micro Cleansing Balm works perfectly in the evening, to assist me with gently removing my Perfectionist Foundation while soothing my skin. It has a pleasant, light scent and super rich texture that melts like butter! It feels so good on my skin, like I’m coating it with a thick, rich protective layer of skin care repair and treatment. It melts my Perfectionist Foundation right off and leaves my skin feeling so soft and moisturized.

Estée Lauder Advanced Night Micro Cleansing Balm is also a decadent treat on make-up free skin. It feels like a special pamper treatment that immediately provides intense hydration and a boost of skin care repair. It's perfect if you feel your skin is in need of moisture or a nice deep skin care treatment. Not only is it fabulous for thoroughly removing make-up; it’s also great for maintaining skin hydration and a beautiful, radiant texture.
